Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem. But I've discovered that it
happens when vista backup (set to backup to an external western digital
mybook drive) comes on automatically, and I happen to start a progam. The
program then crashes, the physical ram gauge spikes to 99% and gets stuck
there, and everything slows to a crawl. Control ALT Delete will then
(evenually) cause the logon error message. Then, unplugging the external
drive will eventually get the physical ram gauge to go down (to about 15%)
and the machine's performance will improve but not come back to normal. Only
rebooting makes it useable again. For now, I'm going to disable automatic
vista backup and see what happens.
