I have had all those problems with Windows XP - except for the Search problem,
since I long ago switched to the free program "Agent Ransack" for searches,
which also runs fine on Vista.

I generally have less stability problems with Vista than with XP.

The only Vista problem I have is that I change settings in programs, and then
they revert back by themselves....
