Is the OS pre-installed by manufacturer?

yes vista was pre installed so I have no disc

Could you download Google Chrome or Firefox? if so install one or even both them as alternative.

Run an Upgrade check via Microsoft. But keep in mind that you need to set Automatic Upgrade to ON!

Cheers.

Im running Google toolbar and Thaivisa toolbar. I had google crome but it was unstable so I got rid of it.

Anyway they all go through IE Via Windows os?

No, they all go via windows but not 'via' IE.

I had a problem with IE on both XP and Vista a while ago in which after browsing TV for some time - opening new tabs for each thread I read, the whole screen would flash and IE would freeze up and I'd have to restart IE (not Windows, IE - OS and other apps unaffected). Anyway I switched to Google Chrome and it worked fine with Vista for a while until a couple of weeks ago that started acting flakily (move tabs caused it to crash, again not the OS, just the browser), so I changed to Firefox. I have now tried the new Chrome (post-beta) and that seems to be working fine.
