    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.

    programs dont respond!!!

    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 .
