Programs not responding

[Steve/Aus]

I have been running Vista for some time on a new machine. Non responsive
programs are a daily, no make that an hourly occurance. Most of the time
they end up launching successfully or overcoming the hanging problem, but
quite often Vista will warn that the program needs to shut down. The program
that seems most susceptible to this is CorelDraw X3 although it does it on
all programs including Windows mail.
Is this normal behaviour? Windows XP very rarely caused problems.

I agree that it is a regular problem. I do not use CorelDraw, but other
programs at random will lock up. My only option is to turn the computer off
to reboot. It is very frustrating

I am having the same problem.

WHAT "same problem", doofus!?

You appear to be replying to a very old post... and the vast majority
