Pissed off with new laptop. Vista sucks.

essartee4 · 05-21-2008, 03:31 AM

Ok so i just traded my desktop for a laptop and now im frustrated.
1st of all the laptop is the Toshiba Satellite X205-S9800

Now my 1st issue is the built in wireless is slower than dial up. We have DSL, and my desktop with a Linksys network adapter was really fast. The laptop hooked directly up to the cat-5 line is really fast just the built in wireless is a snail. Any ideas?
I finally got frustrated and just ordered a usb wireless adapter off ebay, although its not hear yet.

My 2nd issue is i HATE vista, what a pos operating system.
I tired installing XP and it stoped because it couldnt see my hard drive, also all the drivers for my laptop on Toshiba.com are for Vista. Is there any way to get XP on this?

to get drivers search in google for the drivers - Google Search

The reason for it been slow, is probably all the free stuff they put on which slows everything down.

Dude, use the search function, I have written a short novel of why Vista is not worth the $ to upgrade, and I have also written about the problems and why it is not worth it.

I love vista!! If you cant get vista running right then YOU are obviously doing something wrong. People who cant get vista to run right dont belong on a pc. I say this too many times. I am sick of people bashing Vista for their own dumb fault.

Thats exactly how I feel G25racer.

So' you're saying that if:

P: Vista doesn't work for me
C: it's my fault.
