Norton 360 effectively cuts the speed of my computer to that of a dialup, though I have a decent processor and a cable connection. I’ve heard several people complaining about Norton 360 doing the same thing to them. Do you think a lawsuit would stand a chance of winning and possibly send a message to the industry that there is a standard to be observed?
Movie_Foker, what has you convinced that the world isn’t a dumb place and that one more dumb thing wouldn’t simply fit right in?

I cleaned off my old Dell desktop that has a dialup modem. Loaded Windows XP Pro – dialup connection dropped to 26.8. Had the geeks come out to assess and was told that my 486 processor was unable to keep up with the OS.
I purchased a new Dell laptop in January thinking that everything would be configured correctly and my dialup would increase a bit.
NOT!!! What is causing this issue?
Also, I heard that Vista will not work with dial up. Is this accurate? I have the upgrade but have not installed it.

I discontinued IM with Voice because it made my pc Hangup or freeze up! I only have a Pentium II processor(267Mhz), 128mb memory laptop and my dialup connection speed is only 31.2kbps.

I would like the specs of what brand, processor, RAM, etc. of the computer I should buy. I’m going to store a large media collection on it and do some light gaming too. I’m also going to be on the internet through dialup. 10 points for best answer.
oh yeah – I would like it to be Windows Vista capable and less than $600 US
i was running windows xp home edition with intel celeron processor 2.5 hard drive 40g 3d intel extreme graphic card agp
and 256mg of ddr memory i already check for loose cables but they are ok my power supply i think its good because i put
it on another computer and it worked and by the way when i press the on-off button the tic-tic inside my computer goes faster
any ideas guys please give me a hand “big” please.
the computer just keeps cliking it doesnt show anything on my screen no self test no windows xp start and i think the litle click
comes from the hd i think im not sure of that and yes the power supply its what it came with when i bougth it and it keeps
ticiticiticitic thats it
the click starts as soon as i plug the power cord and the ligth on the on-off button keeps blinking it doesnt even read the hd
nothing at all
i think the sound comes from the proccesor i think
and also makes a litle litle noise like when you try to conect to the internet with a dialup connection but just a litle bit
like gk gk
it has a integrated graphics card
and did unplug all the power cables off the hd ,cd writter
i check the hd with another computer as a slave and it worked good i guess the problem is going to be the mobo or memory
or processor
