Vista - very irritating popup boxes

very irritating popup boxes

Hi

I upgraded my windows XP pro to VISTA ultimate and been facing very
irritating problems.

1. Every now and then, a popup window appears with message "windows modules
installer stopped working and was closed" and this happens when I am running
windows update. Following this message, windows update seems to have stopped
though the windows update window shows "installing updates".

2. Whenever I try to open control panel, it crashes windows explorer and
control panel never opens.

Unless I can fix the above two problems, transition to VISTA will be
regretful and I will move back to XP.

RE: very irritating popup boxes


I know vista can suck for some people, Are you using an old computer or a
new one? Did you do a clean install or an upgrade? If you did an upgrade, I
suggest doing a clean install. Remember to back up all the data on your hard
drive before doing it because it will format your hard drive. Go into the
device manager from the control panel. Are there any yellow or red enteries?
If so the problem could be device drivers. Is your computer vista premium or
vista basic capable? I will gladly help you if you give me more info about
your computer.
