I've been running Vista for a couple of months and, other than needing to
keep my system as a dual-boot for gaming and other compatibility issues, I've
experienced no problems at all. I really love the new system and use it for
pretty much everything except gaming.
Until just recently that is. My transfer speeds to/from the Internet have
dropped to almost nothing. Web pages themselves seem to appear fairly quickly
but I can't download files from anywhere, even high bandwidth sites like
download.com. I can't send email with attachments because the transfers
always time out even on emails as small as 400k!
I went to dslreports.com and ran some speed tests and found I'm averaging
about 165kbps where I used to average about 1200kbps. My data transfer rate
averages about 22kb/sec where it used to be around 140kb/sec. These are even
slow for my uploads because my uploads used to be faster than this.
When I reboot and launch my XP operating system, everything is fine. Super
speed. Downloads are no problem. This has just popped up in the last week or
so and I have no idea what may have caused it.
Has anyone else experienced any similar issues? Does anyone have any ideas
what I may try short of a reinstall? Thanks in advance to anyone who might be
able to help.
Sincerely,
