Help, please! Slow internet on Vista computer 17/40Mbps speed...

I have a newer computer with 4 GB of ram and a dual core cpu. I am running Vista and you have two computers that are connected to a router. The other two computers get high-speed internet, but the Vista computer gets half of what gives me my ISP. I have a connection of optical fiber with download 40Mbps. speed I 39Mbps on two XP systems but the Vista I get 17-20Mbps.

I scanned for viruses and the computer is clean, I updated the drivers ethernet, the firmware on the router and I changed the connection cables. Nothing has helped to increase the speed or performance. Any ideas? Help, please!

Thanks for the replies!

I already tried all the foregoing, but yesterday, I found two culprits. 1 I have updated to SP2 for Vista and my speedtest went up to 25/40Mbps, but the main culprit was Norton 360... Even though I disabled the program (Firewall/AV) I looked again in the application and noticed that garbage online backup, they've added was technically on but set to "manual". After you completely disable the full online backup feature, I did another test of speed through my ISP and got 39.7Mbps!
I am happy again! Thanks again for the help.

  • Help, please! Got an old computer xp, when I turn it on it asks me to activate windows now...

    Please help, I put in the Installation ID over the phone, and it says its not valid.

    I tried to call tech support, but he said the key requested is not valid? I don't know what to do :(
    I got a computer that my sister received a colleague for Christmas. Worked very well, my brother-in-law, messed with it today, replaced the motherboard and now when I turn it on it asks me to "activate Windows".
    I really don't want to have to rebuy Windows...

    Unfortunately, this is probably what you're going to do, buy another copy of Windows (or another computer).  When Windows comes pre-installed on a computer, the Windows installation is allowed on this computer and cannot be moved to another.  In order to have a component to show up and say: "it is the computer that I came!", this component is the motherboard.  Now that yours has been replaced, the Windows license that came with the old motherboard is zero and cannot be used any longer.

  • Need help please. Graph of my computer is "stretched".

    Hello everyone, I don't know exactly what I did but I am having the problem of my computer graphics "stretched" on (example: If a circle is now an oval) and do not know how to correct the situation. Would be eternally grateful to anyone who could help me solve this problem, as I'm pretty much computer illiterate. The computer is a desktop Dell Inspiron 530 running windows vista.

    Hello

    There are a few things you can try:

    If a desktop computer and monitor there should be a button automatic reset on the monitor.

    Change the resolution of the screen;

    My guarded vista stop without known reason. He started up the main login screen and I could connect. After that so long it would just turn off.

Then suddenly it disconnects and begins to do the updates for windows. Then it goes to a black screen and tells me what he planned for a clean disk. So he goes through this process and restarts. Now it is impossible to get pass Part 3 of 3 updates and it just stays at 0%. He will remain on this page for about a minute and just keeps restarting itself.
