i had some wierd ass problems kinda like that, accept internet explorer would not respond every time i opened.  the problem just went away after a couple updates.  like he said, give updating your drivers a try.

Explorer stopped responding. It's no different then if Firefox stopped responding, just bigger.

yeah. Vista has alot of kinks to iron out. Microsoft is offering a free downgrade to windows XP for people with OEM versions of windows Vista Ultimate, and Vista buisness.

Windows XP still has some life.

I had the same problem every time I loaded itunes, I would either have to wait to minimize then remaximize itunes each time.

Windows Explorer and sometimes firefox would also freeze for me almost every single time I opened 2 or more tabs. Also, my computer ran really really slow even with 2 gigabytes of RAM

And.....that is why I installed windows xp on my laptop last night. I couldn't be happier, everything runs faster and I haven't had a freeze up yet.

microsoft canning vista might happen sooner than you think. i was reading somewhere that dell, and one other major pc maufacturrer, maybe hp? are going to start shipping their new computers with XP again because vista has so many problems.

I graduated high school and moved out and bought myself a new desktop and new laptop that all came standard with Vista.....Im starting to get the classic "blue" screen soo I hope windows can get some new upgradeable software.  I should have thought things through more.....whenever a new OS comes out it always has bugs and kinks.....

Point taken......its inexcusable for all the issues Vista is having straight up.....bugs were inevitable...but to the amount and severity they are happening, its just pathetic.  I really thought Windows would have gone for a more efficient OS...but instead they had to try and go for useless functions and gadgets...

hmmm i guess that makes sense.

i'll change my statement then,

i cant wait till there is a noticeable slip up for mac's

even though i do agree that vista has some serious problems that need to be fixed in the next 6 months...
