Norton does seem to slow down your system. I have found that Diskeeper Pro helps speed disc access up far better than MS defrag. It can also defrag and speed up the boot drive. And you are still right. A full partition is like a crammed desktop at work. No place to put extra stuff, so it makes it harder to find things.
Ah for those curious, I finally got back an answer on this. the 6TO4 and the ISATAP errors can be ignored. It's for use with WAN only, and designed with the concept in mind that you can upgrade from version IPv4 to version IPv6 infrastructure without costing an arm and a leg for the company.
in other words, it's a piece of lazy programming on microsoft's part.
Now...any of you Guru's having partition problems? I just finally got mine straightened out. i'm assuming the partition is just for restore point and file swapping/sharing (correct me if i'm wrong). For some reason "Bob" had nibbled away all available partition space over time. bad bob! no snacking on the side!
(If its like it was a decade ago, a full partition could slow your computer to about as fast as a pregnant water buffalo in spike heels on ice.)
And finally...I'm trying out ESET NOD32 Antivirus and I REALLY like it better than Norton. It's much faster and seems to slow my system less. Anyone else try it?
Yeah, it does seem to be a vista problem, which I am using (got to get to a VA meeting! (Vista Anonymous!)
What I'd really like to know is should I bother pursuing it. I've lived with it for almost two years (I was out of practice when I got the system, and only recently have bothered joining the 21st century and the "new computer/ Internet age". But "Bob" (my laptop) does run slower than he should...which is annoying.
(After years of learning Dos, windows 3.0+, pascal, etc...I don't really have the patience for keeping up to speed anymore and only do it when absolutely necessary).
I do miss the old days of actual real tech support and not some schmuck in india with a bad accent and a tech manual he doesn't understand let alone can pronounce the terminology. :)
Ah well. i'm going to dive back into the "oh so helpful internet" and spend five hours getting an answer i could have gotten in ten minutes with a free phone call 15 years ago.
Thank god they improved the internet and technology since then, things are SO much better than before!!! (Dripping sarcasm) :)
I picked up a nice user friendly British laptop not too long ago - I don't think one peripheral that I run was compatible with Vista! I know this isnt exactly what you are talking about.....but wtf? Microsoft doesnt have a vested interest in selling new cannon scanners or hp printers do they?
~5m lines of source code for windows. it's a wonder it works at all. ;-)
Well just like with addiction we need to know how long you've been using etc..Lmao
What OS are you using?
