Vista locks-up whenever I attempt to do anything that demands a lot from my wireless card. For example, if I try to transfer a big file over my home network then my computer will freeze. Also, if I try to use BitTorrent then my computer freezes within a few minutes. Last, when I try to upload pictures to the internet my computer will freeze again! It's weird though because the OS will always freeze after about 1 minute of me executing the operation. Does anyone have any idea what can be causing this? Thank you so much for your time. Incarn

Ok, I just solved the problem. All I did was go to the "Network And Sharing Center" and label my network as a "Private Network" then enable everything under "Sharing And Discovery." What a pain in the ass! Incarn

I guess I shouldn't have opened my big mouth. After I had changed the settings everything seemed to run normally, but after an hour the same old problems came back. Is anyone experiencing this same problem? Incarn

Try downloading all of the updates for vista using windows update. I was experiencing something similar to your problem and it seemed to do the trick. Also, if that doesn't work, try using system restore and restore the computer to a time where there were no problems with your network. Hope it works out!

I have every single update isntalled, but still have the same problem. I thought about doing a system restore, but to be honest I know there is a way to work around this. I hate restoring to a past point :( Incarn

I believe it's the router not Vista. If it's a Lynksys, it's not uncommon for them to overheat under load. Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right. - Isaac Asimov

I know for a fact that it's not the routers fault, because I tested another computer alerady on the same network and it does everything perfect. Incarn
