After reading the thread it sounds like this computer originally had XP and
was upgraded to Vista. If you didn't do a clean install I'd recommend trying
this. If you did do a clean install then the computer may not really be
Vista compatible. I have installed vista on many systems. Some systems just
do not work right with Vista. They were designed before Vista. Sometimes a
BIOS upgrade will help but in the end some motherboards just plain have
problems with Vista. If you have one then I'd recommend going back to XP.
SP1 will probably not fix your problems. If you didn't do a clean install of
Vista then wiping the system and starting again may fix your problems. If
you decide to downgrade to XP you will be doing a wipe and install anyway so
it may be worth it to give Vista try with this method.
