Vista - programs dont respond!!!

12-13-2007

First thought that comes to mind always is Viruses.

Good luck with that, I remove them for a [part-time] living (which I
loathe), and I gotta tell ya, they suck.

Funny thing is though, Vista is quite resilliant to Viruses now a days,
usually it's the XP systems with all the problems. Probably just no good
Vista viruses out yet.

Other than that, I don't know what to suggest, update your drivers, worse
case scenario, reinstall vista, or find a professional that can diagnose
your system for you. Geek Squad does hardware diagnoses for $59, but if you
want the software fixed it's usually $199

Vista has some latency issues with itself, Instead of launching programs directly it calls a service to launch it for you amid a heap of other things (Security descriptors, NTFS Defragmentation, congested services) it just depends how/what/when its used. The best way to determin whats going wrong is to check the permormance logs "Computer > Manage > Logs)" It can tell you the exact process/driver/program/service causing the problem.

na no viruses in there,ive tryed full system scan with my antivirus,and ive
downloaded the Malicious software revoval tool from microsoft and run it &
its fine.i rekon its a hard ware problem..ether my processor is on its way!
or my HHD is stuffed,i would like to upgrade my HHD from a 80gb to a 160gb
anyway.,so getting a new processor is going to be tricky!(cos thay dont make
em any more), maybe...i could can get a better processor thats compatible
with my motherboard.,but even then its a big stuff around finding what
processor will work and what wont work .
