A few weeks ago i had to reinstall my copy of vista home premium 64 because i installed new RAM and it corrupted windows. . .(wierd!)
Anyway i have a couple of problems now, both very annoying:

This is incredibly frustrating, any help will be muchly appreciated.
I'm a little annoyed at microsoft to be honest. I've put up with so many problems and worked aorund them, but sleeping and file sharing - two features which they used to sell vista have given me such problems recently.
Anyway i have a couple of problems now, both very annoying:
1) my pc does not connect to the internet when i wake it from sleep. It requires me to shut down and turn off power completely, then reboot. My previous install of windows was fine
2) my pc is set up (as far as i can tell) to file share. to see other computers AND share. I cannot see other XP machines on my network, they cannot see me. Before i reinstalled it was also fine.
I have tried so many different things now to rectify the problem but nothing seems to solve it

This is incredibly frustrating, any help will be muchly appreciated.
