I use Vista Home Premium SP1. Vista seems to load (log in to user account) followed by desktop being populated. All taskbars in place. But nothing works - left/right click or keyboard. Message (after a gray screen) - Windows not responding, end process/cancel. End process results in all desktop items and taskbars disappearing. Switching computer off and rebooting works sometimes, but often a number of reboots are required. Can normally boot into safe mode, but a restart from here is not always successful either. I use Bullguard as anti-virus (auto update). Windows update is on (although there is a icon in the system tray saying that Defender is not up to date - trying to update the definitions returns no new def available - Defender still runs each day). Have cleaned/checked connections inside computer. Do I need to reinstall Windows? Thanks, Terry |
