I saw your other post about getting BSOD's when you try to "browse" from the
run window. Not sure what you mean by "browse"... are you opening a cmd
window or what? Well, regardless, from that problem and the above problems
sounds to me like you either have a hw issue or the Vista upgrade choked on
something.
Did you run a chkdsk before you upgraded to Vista? If not, I would suggest
running a chkdsk now. Open a cmd window with run as administrator and run
chkdsk without any parameters. If it finds any problems it will tell you. If
chkdsk doesn't find any problems, you may want to try running a repair by
booting from the Vista DVD and selecting repair (not sure where, exactly,
the repair choice is...)
