Why do people install a BETA OS and then complain when it doesnt work properly? Er how about going back to XP? Maybe look for updated network card drivers?

I've just installed Windows 2016, but nothing loads. It says USB is an unsupported legacy device, and cannot load drivers. Scawen, please fix LFS so that Windows supports USB again!

Seriously, it is either a problem with Vista itself (which I doubt), or a problem with Vista combined with your hardware/drivers, or maybe even your ISP changed some settings that cause these timeouts now.
