If this is an upgrade, you should consider reinstalling using a custom
(clean) install. You should start by looking at the programs you have
installed that are not Vista compliant. While they may install, they may
either have problems themselves (not responding for one) or cause other
programs to have problems. If your not responding problems clear up without
closing, as most do, you should check to see what other running programs and
services are being assigned the machine cycles available.
