Once again Vista crashes on me and this time it's pretty bad as it looks like not only is Vista corrupt but my laptop is experiencing hardware failure.

Luckily I found this video which soothes my pain..

I have had no problems so far with my vista. I have had more problems with xp than vista ... its weird. I think its the same with every new windows product ... the bugs and kinks will be fixed soon and then when the newer version of windows comes out everyone will be in love with vista and hating the new one.

I hope yours quits crashing on you and your lappy gets well soon.

the only windows problems i had is that 64bit xp doesnt accept 32bit drivers
so it can be a problem installing hardwae as most pcs are 32bit

After five years I am mostly problem free with my XP os. Thats what commitment to scandisks defragments, and spyware protection get you.
