CTR/ALT/DEL

While using Vista Business with any program it occasionally stops letting
you acces the program and any others running. although the louse is still
active on the screen it does not do anything when clicked. The way to get
it going again is to use CTRL/ALT/DEL then either cancel or ESC. After that
full accers to all programs is restored.

I have run for Malware and spyware but no success.

Any suggestions.

You could try keeping the task manager open to monitor running processes.
You might pick up on something when the system becomes unresponsive.
Regarding the possibility of malware, what software did you use to scan your
system?

Something is taking up all available resources when that
happens. Keep Task Manager open to find out which item it is
