Vista not recovering from crashes

[Angel Massa]

I've noticed that Vista doesn't recover from crashes as expected. In XP when
an application crashes it closes or I can press Ctrl-Alt-Del to open task
manager and close the not responding application.

On Vista when an application stops responding the hole systems halts and
don't responds. I've had to pres the case reset button many times.

Regards,
Angel.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have had the new Crash
recovery/helpfull suggestion bit jump in a couple of times...but I just had
a hard crash in Oblivion and the ctrl-alt-del took me to the Aurora page
that offers task manager/log off/switch user/etc. I was actually surprised
it did not give me the option to Shut Down or Restart.
When I went into Task Manager it showed that Oblivion was not
responding...but neither was Task Manager.

I thought that Vista manages crashes better than XP. But not by now...
