About once an hour or so while using Vista Ultimate 64 bit (specs below) I
get a series of glitches that makes the PC unusable until I end the
'explorer' process and then restart it. The glitches are hard to explain.
All drop down menus become basically unusable, as clicking them (or even
right clicking) can cause the taskbar to move from bottom to top and only
have the "Notification area" show on the left, program windows will begin to
blink and render incorrectly. Ctrl-Alt-Del brings up the prompt seemingly
correctly and without error. Clicking "Start Task Manager" does bring up the
task manager, but many times only the gray frame will render until I mouse
over processes in the process list, at which time they will appear and then
disappear as soon as I move the mouse. Closing and running the
'Explorer.exe' process returns all to normal. Any ideas?
