For example I can play a youtube video on the XP and have it play without stopping, but on the Vista I get about 10 second before it pauses. Is this just a problem with Vista and why everybody hates it, or do I need to uninstall McAfee or disable a registry setting? I was thinking I needed to upgrade my wireless router, but I'm not sure since the old laptop doesn't have a problem.
i've always used McAfee, and its always been a frickin' nightmare.

my new Vista machine came with free Norton, and its been trouble-free so far.


i don't know what i'm going to get when the Norton expires, but it WON'T be McAfee.
