Just as I finished getting my system installed, my Control Panel started hanging.
When I try to open it, I can do nothing on the sytem, I can not even get to the Task Manager to end task. I have to Hard Reboot. Control Panel does open in Safe Mode.
I can not believe Vista is this unstable. I have nothing but Microsoft Products installed. Of course, incompatibilities and embarassing (for MS) bugs abound...it is very disheartening. I think I have had to hard reboot this system more in the past 2 weeks then in the last 10 years on w2k and xp.
The system is 2 weeks old. There are no prior versions to restore from.
I have tried refreshing licenses, creating a new user, rebuilding icon cache, I have no idea what else to try.
I would very much like to not have to waste another week rebuilding my brand new Laptop (Dell XPS).
I tried reinstalling from OS. That did not work. Said 'Checking Configuration' all night.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
