Main issue: every few days (if that), Miranda (my AIM alternative client) goes offline and then I remember I went to Internet Explorer (and I'm guessing, yeah Im pretty sure I tried chrome first, with that being my default browser) and the connection was like dead. IE gives me the "diagnose connection" button. I cant remember what the error comes up as but when I restart it's fine. I never had this problem in XP. Also right before it happen last time (maybe just coincidence, because its ahppened other times), my images dont show up properly. For example someone sent me a png or a jpg and there was fat lines going thru the middle, horizontally. This didnt appear on her image. Isnt the only time though, images show messed up on webpages sometimes, the google image was showing messed up before. Its just nuts.
I tried to update video card drivers, not sure if I succeeded but i remember there wasnt a vista update, only vista.
pretty sure it updated fien the second time, and still problems.
i only have 1.25gb of ram but the ocmputer runs fine normally, otherwise i would understand this, and the other problems im about to get into in a second. according to my memory application, i have 600mb free right now. even with it as low as 200, 300 the system runs fine though.
now the other day i right clickd a 6gb folder (not sure if i hit properties yet) and it froze...i gave it a few "keep trying" before hitting end task and explorer either crashing, or me having to close explorer.exe just to use my comp again. this of course, made me lose my program in the system tray (one of the major reasons i switched to win7, to not have to reopen that program that doesnt come back in my system tray, another solution to that maybe? a system tray refresh or something? i dont know).
lets see what else
reply to that please guys, my major issues and im sure ill think of more after.
thanks a lot.

xp just uses less resources to begin with no? maybe i shud just go back to XP if i want the best speed possible outta my PC? not seeing many reasons to stick with win7.
thanks all.
