Vista - Hanging up

Hi,



I have a Dell Dimension E521 Athlon with Vista Home Premium. I had to
reinstall Vista a few months ago at the advice of Dell's crack technician's
in India. I was having trouble with computer freezing when I booted up. After
it was re-installed problem continued even after a new mother board was
installed. I reinstalled Vista again and this time it booted up OK but
deleting a file, if I wanted to change the name of a file, and sometimes
copying a file it hangs up like the above user complained about. The hanging
file could be a music or podcast file from my Ipod library, a Word file, a
video clip from the Media center, changing the name of a link, just about any
file. I need to bring up the task manager to cancel deleting process.
Unfortunately this closed down Itunes, Word, Windows Media Center,or Internet
Explorer. I have installed many programs currently and I really don't want to
reinstall Vista. I hear there is a service pact coming out this month. Will
that help? This problem is becoming more and more annoying. With my Ipod I
listen to podcasts everyday. I must have ten podcasts a day to delete. So
instead I must save them rather than individually delete and close Itune ten
times. The same goes for videos in Windows Media Center. HELP!!?

Hi,
I did everything you suggested. I downloaded four programs, defragged,
cleaned, scrubbed, and waited hours for all to be done. When finished,
rebooted and same problem exists. Hanging. hanging.hanging. Soemone suggested
it could mbe related to USB ports. I ahve external harddrive, printers, Ipod,
and a hub which adds four more USB ports. Any other suggestions short of
reinstallation. I belive this is a Vista problem and not a virus etc. Thanks,
