When using Outlook Web Access, I can't reply to e-mails. I get a box with an "x" where I should be able to type.

Also, YouTube videos/most videos in general have a tendency to stop buffering/playing about 1/5 of the way through. Is this Vista-related? If so, is there anything I can do to fix it?

I think it could be a browser related issue. I would recommend updating Internet Explorer or using Firefox...

Heres the firefox link

you could also try running this scan from Microsoft, they really did well on it. It should help protect and improve the performance of your PC. Best of all its free. It removes spyware, viruses and trojans.

Even for a Microsoft fan like myself i just dont think Vista is a very good operatiing system. You might want to reinstall windows.

For the youtube thing you might want to try using another browser. For Outlook it could just be an error in the program not just Vista. Try contacting microsoft about the problem they might be able to help.
