-messenger (msn, live ) wont connect says error (cant click on rememeber email, save pass, either, like doesnt highlight when i have mouse on it, and it should)
-says i dont have a anti virus program when i do.
-window pops up and says, "windows explorer is closing" my screen flickers, and some things dont show up in system tray. usually when im doing some random thing.
-my "e" drive doesnt show up no more (installed nero 8 ultra, and still nothing. (cd-dvd player burner drive) says in properties not working properly i installed it right
-system freezes programs, and is slow, but i have systems settings on "for best performence" and now its kinda slower, and a bit faster. but i get alot of freezing programs. (yes my computer is beyound requirments for vista)

After you install Vista, you need to install all your motherboard and Video drivers, if the Video card is not built-in to the motherboard.
To find the correct drivers, you need the Make AND model of your motherboard AND video card. To do this, I use the Belarc Advisor, free from:
Then, go to the respective manufacturer's website and download them.

Some older programs are not supported in Vista. It causes programs buttons drop lists, textbox, etc, to look weird. Run the Program Compatibility Wizard and watch out for Vista Service Pack 1

I wish you all the luck in the world. I bought a brand new, $800 Dell computer in May that had Vista preinstalled. It has been nothing but a nightmare, lots of compatability issues. Especially with Microft Office and Internet Explorer!!

I also upgraded to Vista. It is the biggest mess I've ever seen.
My printer quit working and I had to download new drivers. My computer is Vista capable, but what it doesn't say is that you have to download new drivers for things to actually work.
I even tried to take Vista off, but it wouldn't come off.
I feel for ya.

Messenger definately works with Vista, maybe you have to get a newer version of Messenger or just reinstall it. Since it can't connect maybe you have a problem with your firewall or even internet connection.
