can I speed up my browsing on the internet? I know some sites are slower than others but, as of late, the internet seems to slow down to a crawl yet, when I do the speed test, I end up scoring higher or just where I am supposed to be at. I only use Avast as my A.V. & Spyware + Windows Firewall, no proxies. I am also using OpenDNS for my dns address and this has help a bit but still, I will like more from it since when I download a file, it does it fairly quick.

When you type in a domain name such as wingeek.com in your browser the computer must resolve the friendly name into an IP address of the server to download the web page and supporting files. Windows uses a DNS (domain name system) server to lookup this information. By default, Windows uses your ISP’s DNS server. Depending on your provider, the performance of their DNS resolving server varies. Some large national providers are known to provide unreliable and slow DNS servers.
The performance of the DNS server you are using is one component that affects the speed of your internet browsing. Since each domain name you type in must be resolved into an IP address, the amount of time that takes will delay the loading of any web page. Some users with overloaded ISP DNS servers can see delays in multiple seconds before web pages start to load.
OpenDNS provides free alternative DNS servers that anyone can use with any internet provider. Unlike many national internet providers, OpenDNS’s DNS servers are very fast and reliable. Using OpenDNS servers instead of your ISP servers will help you speed up your internet browsing by cutting down on the delay between resolving a domain name and getting the IP address so your browser can start loading the web page.
Configuring your computer to use OpenDNS servers instead of your ISP’s is a simple change that works in both Windows XP and Windows Vista:...

I have Vista x64 Ultimate and I'm having internet connection issues. My laptop is the HP Pavillion dv7. My ISP tells me everything is fine on his end. I have a router (Linksys model BEFW11S4) 2.4 Ghz - 802.11b. When I connect the wire from my modem directly to my laptop, I get internet speeds of 900 Kbps. But when I use the router, the speed goes down to 300 Kbps. Is there a setting in Vista that could be doing this? According to Linksys, I should be able to attain 900 Kbps with the router. The laptop comes with a wireless adapter (Intel Wi-Fi Link 5100AGN).

My internet server is Verizon FIOS running at 10 MB/S. I noticed that my download speed is much, much slower than my old computer which was a Dimension 8400 Pentium 4 630 (3 GHz) with 1 GB RAM. I first contacted Verizon and they uploaded software to measure download speed. It showed that I was downloading at close to the rated 10 MB/S. I also loaded Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) to speed up downloads but files still are only being received about 100-200 KB/S.
I tried contacting Dell Tech Support but they seemed to have no idea and blamed it on software in the computer. Other than the Vista Operating System and software preloaded by Dell. I have the same software that was on my older XP which I never
measured but downloaded visibly faster. Could this slowdown be caused by Vista?

A couple of times my screen turned blue for no reason. When there is no activity on the computer, it will turn to Sleep mode. On two occasions I went back and was browsing through the internet with my mouse and twice the blue screen appeared for no reason. I had to turn off the computer as the blue screen remained. Any reason for the blue screen?

Would you like to make a shortcut that will clear all of your personal information from IE7? Using a cool trick it is very easy to call the API's that the Delete Browsing History box in IE7 uses to clear your Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, History, Form Data and Stored Passwords. Follow the steps below to make a shortcut that clears all of these items or just a specific item:
Right click on your desktop and select New and then Shortcut.
For the location of the item, enter one of these values: ....

I'm new here with a problem that has popped up last night. Up until last night my web pages and everything was loading up in my Firefox browser pretty fast. Today things are loading up slow and with I go on to a news source to watch a video...the videos stop and go making the news video not worth watching. A couple of minutes I was looking at something on here where it said to use "cmd" command to get into something. It was set on "ultrarestrictive" and I changed it to "normal" but haven't seen much difference in how things are working. The other day I downloaded UTorrent on my computer but today I uninstalled it. Could UTorrent have messed something up?

ever since I started using Windows Vista I've had a low internet download speed (not the amount that I'm paying for). I know this isn't a problem with my ISP because on my other computer that has Windows XP, the internet connection is just fine.
I've tried the following tutorials:
Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level
QoS Bandwidth Reserve Limit
Neither of them have resolved my problem. My download speed is the only problem, the upload speed is "normal". I'm paying for 8Mbps but I get 0.5-2Mbps on my Vista system. I have my modem directly connected to my computer, through one of the two Ethernet ports on my computer.

I've been doing internet speed tests and I consistently have ridiculously high latencies. Like 500+ ms latencies. It wasn't like this a couple of weeks ago and the two other computers in my office don't have this problem. So I figure there's something wrong with my computer. Most likely a software issue but I just can't figure out what it could be. mI am connected wirelessly but so is every other computer in my office so its not that. And I've switched out my wireless adapter and wireless router so I've ruled that out as well.

A long load time when a user starts Internet Explorer is one of the most common performance issues seen with Internet Explorer 8. The primary cause of this problem is third-party add-ons that were either preloaded on a new computer or bundled with other software and installed over time. These extra mini programs must be loaded along with the core Internet Explorer code every time Internet Explorer is launched
Internet Explorer 8 includes a very handy feature that will help you identify how much time each add-on in Internet Explorer is ....

I have read many persons posts, but none have been quite the same as mine. With many tips, but no further explanations for the questions I have. I have a DELL Ispiron with Vista Home Basic 32bit and I use Internet Explorer. I am able to download absolutely nothing from the internet. I have a feeling it has something to do with the incorrect installation of AVG. A week ago, I wanted to try a different sercurity program, while keeping AVG. I downloaded Online Armour from cnet.com and after a couple of days uninstalled because I didnt like it. I figured I would just update AVG 8 to AVG 9, so I went to AVG Free - Download installation files & documentation, I think I should have downloaded the recommended installation, but instead I selected "intallation files" and selected one of those options. Now it list in my program files AVG 8 and AVG 9. In my programs, selected Windows Start>Programs, it list AVG 8.5. Now I read somewhere, a person with practically the same problem, that I could uninstall and then reinstall AVG and the problem could possibly be fixed. Also if problem persisted to try uninstalling AVG while in Safe Mode. I could do neither. Under program files AVG 8, selected Windows Start>Computer>Hard drive(C)>Program Files>AVG>AVG 8>setup, has a setup option. But when selected reads, setup window:Installation failed. Then selected Details reads, setup window:Installer initialization failed due to following error: Error: @AvgErrorCode_0x0253 %FILE% = "C:Program FilesAVGAVG8" @AvgErrorCode_0x0020
Under program files AVG 9, selected Windows Start>Computer>Hard drive(C)>Program Files>AVG>AVG 9, has no setup option, I assume I did not install the correct file, my mistake. Under my programs, selected Windows Start>All Programs>AVG Free 8.5>Unistall AVG Free, it list AVG 8.5 and when I try to uninstall the the same error occurs. I dont know if this is the reasoning for my issue but this is when the problem started. However I would still like to know how to remove AVG as well as the initial "fix." If this possible, should I delete the AVG program files one by one, just by right clicking on them and deleting? I also tried to run a System Restore thinking it would go back to a previous date before I changed anything, but the earliest date I could choose from was not soon enough. It did nothing except remove some updates and a toolbar that had been installed. Also, I am unable to install updates, I assume its because they use the internet to do so, idk.

I can't seem to download anything off the internet. I can click to download the file to my computer,but once it's on my computer, itregisters as being a part file that is 0bytes in size. Therefore it won't let you open it to install the software. I have limited kowledge and am not sure whether it is Vista or some setting on my laptop somewhere.

So I am using Windows Vista 64 bit home premium on my laptop. Starting today I tried to install a program which I had downloaded earlier for a game and it says that it is not a valid win32 program. I've been working on solutions that I have found on the internet and none seem to work. It does not seem to be limited to one thing as everything I download says that it is not a valid win32 program even .exe installers that I had used only days before. Now I can't even download things off of the internet. Anything I download just disappears from where the program has been saved too.

I have NewsIndividual as my newsserver. When I try to download the newsgroups onto my new computer (Vista, HP, SP1), the message reads that WLM cannot connect to the internet. I disabled the virus protection (Norton, which came with the computer) and firewall, but I still cannot get to my newsserver.
