Not being able to see your machine I am gong to make a guess here about your experience.
I must give an example or two so don't get lost on program names etc. I know they
have noting to do with your setup.
Vista does what I can only guess MS considers 'multi-tasking' differently than previous
versions of Windows. And in doing so many tasks that were taken care of in the background
in the older versions and we never paid any attention to them, now make us pause
and wait for them to finish. And we end up getting impatient and really jack it up
trying to force it along.
Example: I do a lot of editing of enormous music files in Adobe Audition. Now I have
a VERY fast machine and yet when I save a file (sometimes 1 or 2 gig) it of course
takes what seems like forever. Now most of the time it finishes without as much as
a warning. If I click on anything and expect to continue before it finishes, it puts
up the warning that it is 'Not Working'. If I leave it alone it will finish OK, but
if I interfere with it some more it will crash the program and sometimes even Vista.
I can do the same thing on my XP machine and it won't take control of the program
like that. It is just slower than a snail because its an old 32 bit XP machine with
no special processor or extra memory resources.
See if that explains anything similar to your issue and if it might relax your expectations
some. You might try changing the resource focus from 'active program' to 'background
activity' and see if that helps some.
