Very slow download Saturday, October 10, 2009 at 8:58 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by sportflyer (23 messages posted) I am having a problem with my sister's new Sony Vaio all in one desktop. Runs Vista OS. I have uninstalled all the bloatware that came with it. The biggest problem is that her downloads are very slow , sometime as slow as 56K dial up. She has Shaw cable internet service. Her old computer running XP is much faster , so is my brother in laws MAC. I am using direct connection to the router , ie no RF . I have even tried direct connect to cable without router with no effect on speed. I also tried disabling Antispyware and anti virus with no effect. Sometimes the download starts fast then slows to a crawl . Some web pages wont open with IE .Same pages OK with Firefox, so she now uses Firefox. Should I ask her to delete the Network card using Device Manager and have windows redetect it again? I need some advise what to do try next .
