I have a HP DV6000T with Windows Vista Home Premium. It came preinstalled with Vista so I have no hardware or driver issues and all updates are current. My biggest complaint is IE7 constantly freezes up and needs to be restarted. I usually have multiple tabs open so all the pages have to close and this is becomming a real annoyance. It probably happens about every other day. Is there anyway to fix this? Also sometimes windows itself freezes up and I have to hard power it down. The system is very slow to boot and shutdown. I have turned off almost all startup programs with msconfig. I am running a core 2 duo 1.73 ghz and 1.5 gb of ram. I think it should be a little faster. I'm almost to the point of buying a second hard drive and just installing XP. If anybody has any tips and tricks to make vista actually perform like it should I would like to hear them.
