sjors123,

If the above troubleshooting steps dont's resolve the problem, try checking
a Vista report for specific errors and corrective measures to take: Click on
Start (icon) and select All Programs. Then, select Maintenance > Problem
Reports and Solutions. When that report opens, select from among the Tasks
on the left margin and elsewhere. Peruse the report and look for any
specific information about what caused your problem (or other problems while
you're at it). If you get some insight from the report, take the corrective
action suggested in the report. Just something to try, since Vista logs
errors and hopefully it will in this case. Let us know whether any of this
is useful. We like to know, too.
