There's probably another process that is hogging cpu. Fire up task manager,
ctrl-shift-esc, and have a look at the cpu column (addable via View >
Select Columns)

I have a similar problem with deleting/recycle bin with my new Vista Basic -
when I try to delete a file the dialogue box asks if I want to permanently
delete the file. If I hit "yes" the file disappears completely from my
computer. If I hit "no" it doesn't delete at all. There appears to be no
"send to the recycle bin" option and when I check for deleted files by
clicking on the Recycle Bin icon on desktop, no files can be found. In this
way I have inadvertently lost files which I wished to send to the bin - but
not immediately delete completely. Can these be recovered? What's wrong
with the delete/bin option?

Hi jvista - I've actually solved my recycle bin problem - but I don't know
how! After a long on-line chat help session with Microsoft-HP it now seems
to operate in the usual way - that is, when you delete a file the pop-up
window offers the usual Recycle Bin query. I THINK that after going into
"properties" and changing the size of the bin (a new Vista-type thing - I've
not come across this option before) and making any of the other changes
suggested by the on-line chat consultant she should have told me to restart
the computer. She didn't and thus her advice didn't seem to help. But when
I booted up this morning, the whole thing was working fine.
