PLEASE HELP WITH NEW T60/Vista!

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this post - I have just purchased a new t60 from Circuit City and already have a few issues and as a side note hate the idea of having to use Vista -Issue number 1: The text when I am online is really grainy and I cant figure out how to change it - I have the same screen as my presrio x1000 and the text while surfing the web etc is much more clearer and readible this looks very grainy/shoppy. So if anyone has a fix for that it would be great -

My second question is the more important one - When I go online I might as well go fishing before my pages load - Yes, I can get onto google, yes I can go through the google search results, but once I select a page to view well lets just say I might as well take a nap!!!! I have not called Lenova yet as I just bought this Yesterday but wanted to see if anyone had the same issue or can provide me afix here - My wife can get online with NO problem so I know it is not our router etc.....Also, I am SOOOOOOOOO close to bringing this Vista based machine back and ordering from Lenova an XP based system - Am I being to hard on Vista or do you all feel the same way???

Thanks again for all of your help!

 

Two things I can think of.

1. It's full of "bloatware"
2. You might need more RAM (you should have at least 2GB... 3 or 4 would be ideal)

I'd recommend a clean install (link in my sig).
And, if you don't have at least 2GB of RAM, get some. Click here for the latest: RAM Deals

 

Sounds like alot of bloatware. When your start your system up and see the lenovo screen, hit the blue thinkvantage button and it will allow you to do a custom recovery.

If you have a windows anytime upgrade cd, you can do a "real" clean install. Just make sure you run a program like magic jelly bean so you can write down your product key.

 

panteeddropper - thanks for the info however can you provide me with some more detail on the thinkvantage button and cutom recovery - once I hit that what do I do or what do I select, not select etc...I would also love to do a "real" clean instanll but have no clue on how to dao that as well the machine came with NO CD's etc....Please help thanks!

 

Before you do anything, burn off the recovery discs.

 

I said click on the link in my sig. It explains everything. If you don't like the answers you'll find there then you can come back here and keep asking.
