It's Official Sick of Vista!

[*Sandy*]

The lan driver missing is probably a symptom, not the problem. Probably caused by data corruption from the random shut downs.

I'd still return and get a replacement. Can't really sell a dud laptop can you... Unless you like ripping people off...

No going to do a complete restore, and test it...I need to wait for the macbooks first, and what i will be selling it for anyone will buy it for that price even with the shutdowns disclosed...however I feel it might have something to do with magic network, it started on that day...so I will wait and restore,,,,no one is getting ripped off

Hey *Sandy*. I've used Windows Vista before - I suspect that Magic Network is incompatible with Vista. I'd try uninstalling it, and looking for a newer version that is compatible.

I love my macbook but since its being repaired at the moment I'm using my old emachine with vista BASIC.. and its really not that bad, honestly.

I thought I would hate it but so far its fine. Not as nice as my macbook of course but not much is.

So basically you started your rant saying Vista was crap and had loads of problems. Yet now you've mentioned that the problems did not start until you installed Magic network.

It would seem that all your woes are caused by this extra software and not by the hardware or Vista.

I think it would be good to change the title of this thread to "It's official Sick of Magic network" because that's the cause of all your problems.

I have two HP laptops running Vista Home Premium here and both work perfectly. One is about two months old and of course came with Vista. The other is a 1.5 year old HP running vista that came with XP originally.

Vista is actually pretty solid. I just hate being prompted for permission every time I want to change a setting.
