Vista - Vista Enterprise Freeze's when Accessing Folders

Its a very random thing, no matter what program I am in if I open a
Open/Save Dialog sometimes the dialog will freeze for several
minutes. If I open a folder from the run box, same thing.
Lets say I'm in WMP and I go to open a file, the open dialog will
freeze. So I open Windows Explorer, it freezes. The desktop
sometimes freezes along with it, sometines the task bar does also. I
also get alot of Explorer crashes as well (Desktop, not Internet). In
XP when Explorer froze or crashed I would just kill Explorer.exe and
restart it from the Run box. Doesn't work in vista, probably has to
do with the Aero interface and the Desktop Windows manager service,
both of which i tried to restart but did not solve the issue.

I have a fairly new dell w/ a dual core processor and 2 gb of ram.
All I run is basic business apps.

Any Ideas?

A really wild idea, could it be the DNS configuration.

This is what happened to me.
