Download/Download speed of control with windows vista
I've searched for a solution to control my download speed on my system. I live in a House with other roommates and need to know if there is a way with windows vista to restrict my network speed and download. I looked at the software and routers, routers, or way out of my price range and offers much more, then I would need a home network. Software requires another computer to stay on at all times, working as a router/firewall software. If there is some hidden in windows settings, this would solve my problem.
Hi Skyday_BG,
Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.
There is no option to set the download speed on a particular computer in Windows Vista. There are 3 third party applications which allows you to limit the download speed of Windows Vista.
WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE
Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
Hope the information will help. Please post back and we do know.
Thank you & best regards

Why are my download speeds so slow with flag and windows 7. My dell inspiron becomes 10-13 mb
Pavilion dm1
REF ly133av
[Redacted] SN
Windows 7 operating system
This Pavilion is brand new and only get like . 2 Mbps of speedtest.net. The download speed is normal, but the dwnload speed is terrible. Now, I still have my old computer sitting here and it is on the same network WIFI get 10 to 15 Mbps of speedtest. It's a dell inspiron with windows vista. This must be a matter of hardware/software. I saw many posts to ask this question but I havnt seen the answers. Please tell me you can help...
-RayAll,
I have this SAME problem. I just bought my m6 Pavilion three days previously and immediately noticed that the download speed is very slow. In addition, a lot of things people recommend this site do take into account that the laptops are brand new, the parameters are already factory installation and things are not running in the background whenever we try to download. And just like the original - poster I have my old laptop awkward, almost dead here and it's the things download 5 times faster than my new laptop.
Also, I found another post online from a user in HP Pavilion, who bought a new laptop and this is the slow download.
So taking all this into account, a PERSON LOGIC CAN CONSLUDE THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH the computer PORTABLE PAVILION. Yes, is there an employee HP mans this site who can lift this problem and come back with the official HP answer to why this problem occurs? I will definiately go online and noted the low ratings sites flag if I don't get an adequate response.

HP pavilion dv6-1030us with windows vista 64 bit have now upgraded to windows7 32 bit.
HP pavilion dv6-1030us originally with windows vista 64 bit have now upgraded to windows7 32 bit. MIC is unable to send sound in Skype after upgradation.
Hello
Try the following.
First, uninstall Skype and when it is finished, restart the laptop.
When windows has reloaded, download and reinstall the Chipset driver here.
Once the installation is complete, restart the laptop.
Let windows load completely, then download the installer of IDT Audio on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.
http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp45001-45500/sp45044.exe
One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers. Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.
When you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery. Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery, connect the power adapter and start Notepad.
Let Windows load fully, then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation. When this has completed, restart the computer again.
Reinstall Skype and see if the MIC now works Ok.
Kind regards

the touchpad on my toshiba laptop with windows vista is disable, and I don't know who to make it work again.
Hello
Toshiba has also map of keys which allow easy adjustment of the TouchPad. See support for Toshiba
and Forums. The key shortcut for the TouchPad, if they are responsible in the Fn + F9 or see the key card
So usually loaded at the top of the screen.There is also usually a TouchPad control utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock
at the bottom right.Toshiba support - click Communcate for links to the Forums and Contact Toshiba.
http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jspToshiba downloads - access your model.
http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=downloadToshiba forums - good source of info from others who have the same system or similar
http://laptopforums.Toshiba.com/Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there probably
are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.Also check the control - Mouse - touchpad settings panel.
You can also try this:
Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
(drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
RESETThis will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
of work.Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
device if present.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575Then go to the website of the manufacturer of system (Toshiba downloads - access your model - listed above)
and get the latest touchpad drivers.Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.
I hope this helps.

Does anyone have experiences with Windows Vista on a Satellite M40-129?
Hello
does anyone have experiences with Windows Vista (Business) on an M40-129? Any suggestions on the proper drivers and advice are welcome.Best regards
SaschaHello
I have an owner of the M40 motorway m but I didn t install Vista on my laptop.
Why? good Vista needs a lot more material resources like the XP.
In addition many additional applications that are running on my system are not compatible with Vista.
Last but not lease I didn t find the drivers of Toshiba for the M40 on the Web site.I think that the drivers Vista missing on the page is not a problem serious because important factors as driver graph, sound driver, lan and Wlan driver can be downloaded from the website of chip manufacturing.
Anyway, if you want to install Vista on your M40 I would create an additional partition and install the OS on the second partition.
In this case, you can use the two BONES; XP and Vista.To my knowledge the Vista installs a clean boot manager and it should be very easy to switch between XP and Vista.
Best regards
Good bye

You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a

Do I need a firewall if I have installed the basics of microsoft with windows vista x 32 Security. If I do how can I download the microsoft firewall?
Your quick response would be appreciatedEdwardiniWindows Firewall is delivered with and is part of the Vista operating system.
You already have it and, therefore, you do not need, or you, can download another Windows Firewall.Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) will close your Windows Defender because MSE has its own advocate and performance 2 defenders in the same machine allows to create conflict, not to mention redundant.
