i have a toshiba nb205-311 netbook and it has windows 7 professional installed and it sucks. need some help?

Toshiba supports XP on that netbook. SO yes, you can install XP on it... just download the drivers first from http://support.toshiba.com/ first and put them on a thumb drive.

Of course, you will probably have to purchase an external optical drive, since it is a netbook.

You can try linux mint http://www.linuxmint.com/ and it is a variant of Ubuntu. It is extremely easy to use and install, and you can try it without installing it.

end of line

Ok there might be a number of reasons for this.

1st thing if you don't want to upgrade your hardware like increase your ram and stuff your best bet is probably to use xp but I dont think it will do you much good because i use windows 7 and it is way better than vista. check if any spyware or other thngs crept u usig an antivirus tht can slow down the system too. if you want to use a linux flavour i recommend ubuntu bcos its nottoo complicated for a beginner to figure out however you might not be able to do cetain thngs like play netflix for example the silverlight plug in and some other media related studd dont either work or need some command line tweaking to work .

A Net book does not have the ram memory or processor to run any thing other than

Windows 7 Starter or Windows XP basic with out problems.

Of course it sucks. You put friggen professional on something as crappy as a netbook.

Try starter.

I would try chrome
