Is Win Vista NOW better than Win Xp or I should get the soon release of Win 7 or just stay with Win Xp. HELP!!?

VISTA is great, the main issue that it requires a lot of memory resources to function well

My advice is still in WinXP (I think you already heard about people refusing to upgrade) since that WinXP is more stable and more reliable.

What I would suggest is give your system another chance and try to do some refreshments

like these

1- Clear history and cookies

2- Delete temporary internet files

Both 1 and 2 are in Internet options from Control panel

3- Delete "Temp" folder content (and not the folder), it is in your C: > documents and settings > YOURUSERNAME > Local settings > Temp, this will solve a lot of problems

4- Restart computer and try again

this will solve a lot of problems

4- After that, do a restart and check if the problem still there

If you still having the problems, reinstall WinXP, I bet your computer will start like it is in day 1

Normally I say get vista, but you say your computer is 3 years old. That would mean your computer still has the spec around the time vista came out.

Now Microsoft has fixed alot of vista problems, one thing they have not changed is the requirements. I am guessing that you have not upgraded the processor or ram, so it would still have a single core processor with 1gb of ram or less. In which would be a bad idea for windows vista. In which has a vista OS can lag quite a bit at times.

By the way, do a virus scan on your computer to make sure any virus is not tampering with the authentication process and follow any steps it shows on how to authentication it before going out and buying vista.

Since 7 is coming out so soon, vista is unlikely to improve much more. According t many it is still shaky. You can actually download a Beta of 7 from Microsoft, which will expire in august, but you will then be able to buy the licence, or simply buy a disk. Do NOT consider 2nd hand disks of anything Microsoft, as most of these will fail activation. It does seem better than Vista, far less complaints, and many people raving about it.

Hi jEm,

My name is Ron, and I’m part of the Windows Outreach Team. Just thought I’d drop this link off for you. It compares the different versions of Vista. If you’re looking to make that jump, it should help: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/com...

Likewise, here’s a link to the Windows 7 home: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/default... . Now, Windows 7 isn’t available and is still in the Beta testing stages, so you have some time with Vista to get acquainted.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ron

If your computer is 3 years old I doubt it can run Vista let alone Windows 7.

use Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to make sure your computer can run vista .And do not get vista basic anything but basic. and yes vista is better than xp by far and windows7 is the same as vista only faster
