Vista - Vista not recovering from crashes

I've noticed that Vista doesn't recovers from crashes as XP does. I've read
that Vista should recover better and has some features that makes it more
reliable but doesn't seems to be this way.

I know is still a beta and I don't worry when something crashes. But I've
had to push my case reset button more times that I expected. When an
application gets hanged the full system halts and I can't presh Ctrl-Alt-Del
to open tast manager and close the application not responding. The only
option is to do a hard reset.

Regards,
Angel.

Angel,

You need to be more specific. What programs are you using and computer
specs. I have had no problems other than Movie Maker not responding, then
closing down. I initially had constant lockups with Computer Associates
antivirus. When I dumped it all of my problems disappeared.

I have locked up 3 times in IE. No certain pages. I had to reset also. No
Taskman.

I've not been specific becouse I was not asking for any solution. It was
just a comment.

On XP when an application crashes (rarelly as it's very stable for me) it
just closes and the system keeps running flawlessly. On Vista everytime a
program is not reponding (often, I suppose it's normal in a beta) the whole
system gets hanged and I have to do a hard reset to recover loosing all the
data on other open applications.
