My BLOODY laptop.....

[Adz]

as for the random stuff, try a sfc /scannow, to do that, click "start", in Run" type in sfc /scannow hit enter, a black box should pop up, or similar, saying its doing a system file check.

Umm... Nothing happening

sound like the wireless is a driver fault and the driver needs to be updated mine would do this with cirtain updates from ms on windows 7 and it turned out to be an out of date driver

down loads what program are you using ? is it explorer or mozilla ?

i would advise a download manager like flashget or something else most are free

is it my files causing you problems downloading ?

windows vista was a pain in the royal ass so much so that it drove alot of people to mac's thier were driver issues and stability issues most of which have been fixed now with updates

vista is far to resource hungry and this is the main problem of instability

i upgraded to vista from xp and a week latter went back to xp and waited for 7

i still run xp media on my laptop as it talks to phones and nav units better than 7

ok, fret not, you probably typed it into "search", so , try this.

click start / all programs / accessories and click command prompt.

in the black box type
sfc /scannow

exactly like that, hit enter

ok cool, this isnt a fix in itself, but it will at least sort out any broken files on the laptop so class it as major step one!

next get those drivers checked. You may need to upgrade your wireless card drivers, and theres a few ways of doing this, my first port of call would be the laptop manufacturers website, go there, go to support and drivers, find your laptop model, then find the drivers for the wireless, download to laptop, then install. when you install, it will cut you off the net for a minute then should re connect.

next step is to check IE, if you are using IE? if so, download firefox, and use that, see if you get the same issues. if not, find out what version of IE you have (click help / about internet explorer) and if its not 8, you need to upgrade.
