my pc:e7200
4gb ram
hd3650
it should be run vista smoothly,but when i open program or run game,it will suddenly not responding and need 2 wait it 2 respond,before that i use xp no such problem,who can help me?

maybe ur HD too bz gua...

check ur hdd temp

too many application run at same time maybe?? or maybe u should do disk cleanup and defrag once a while..

most probably kena virus..
no choice, better install a good anti virus..

are u sure ur vista is genuine?

Nothing to do with Vista not reponding.

try to reformat it.i got this situation too.and after format it then it is ok dy

I think is RAM not enough.

Hm... 4GB of ram still not enough for Vista..

Get optimiser programme try fixed it...

my PC has opposite Issue... it's unstable running XP but darn stable running vista Ultimate 32-bit..

Any intro bro? Looking for one too~

just think that it's not original so sometimes it got holes...

TuneUp Utilities 2009.

TS: Try using process explorer and see what's going on. U can download Process Explorer from MS website i think. It's much better than the task manager in windows as it tells u a lot more. It helps me in identifying my ex-ASUS M3A mobo is having problem.

Thanks bro~

No problem bro.

I using 8GB RAM

Your using X64 or X86 OS?

izzit normal vista using more than 2gb of physical memory? my dell seem so sluggish when using autocad. I check with task manager and my ram usage already 2gb, for this is abnormal for mew system.
BTW here is my spec:
core2duo p8400, hd3650,4gb ram, 320gb, vista premium.

google chrome 4 tab, autocad, ym =2gb ram.
google chrome 4 tab, autocad, ym, ms outlook =2.3gb ram

i only install CnC tiberium war and RA3, panda antivirus(off), office, adobe acrobat and the rest is still stock application from dell.

can not update
sure could be a problem

Urm. I've not used AutoCAD before but I'm sure it'll hog a lot of resources because from what I heard it's a very advanced piece of software that requires quite high-end specs. Btw, your Dell Studio laptop is using 800MHz or 667MHz RAM? (I saw 800MHz in your siggy, and I was like ).

AutoCAD not really hog lot off resource, well depend on what kind of drawing u're doing. but my point here this laptop perform worst than my acer in autocad only the rest is excellent.
off topic: yup my dell using DDR800 but with CL6.0, centrino 2 chipset. still not really zippy like desktop.

Have you checked in Task Manager which process(es) that using the most RAM?

i got the same problem...
vista alwayse not responding...
when i see taskmanager...
CPU: 0-15(max)
max process
Mem Usage:all below 50,000
my spec(Gaming rig 2) almost same with TS...

Dude, your laptop is a practical desktop replacement.

ya..i got this situation too with my vista sp1..but after reformat and im not apply sp1, the problem gone..never happen again..

So you mean to say that your computer is better without Vista SP1?

somehow..ya..when i install sp1, got so many prob..some usb device cannot use, always not responding..after i reformat the comp, the prob doesn't happen anymore..im still instal update from microsoft whenever it has except the sp1..

Mhmm, that's odd. If you dare, I'd recommend that you download and install Vista SP1 update from here (Official download and installation link from Microsoft). Make sure that no peripherals except your mouse, keyboard and display is plugged in while installing SP1. Btw, mind posting the specs of your computer?

that's is dat one that 1 used to download and applied.i download it from microsoft website.the same file as you mention..anyway, thanx for rcmendation..

below is my spec:

intel dual core e2140 @ 1.6ghz
hdd 500gb+160gb
ram ddr2 667 2gb
gc msi 8600gt oc version

Mhmm, I've got no ideas, sorry.

no prob..thnx for trying

Actually, try to install SP1 standalone installer in Safe Mode.

yup checked ready around 150~200MB juz for the autocad, on iddle total ram usage 1.3gb ready.. i think this is common problem with vista, juz check with my friend lappie also reach around my figure. he's fine with his laptop.. but for me .5 sec delay already coz a mistake when draw the cad.
i will consider downgrade to win xp pro.

@TechnoDude94

yup.. this desktop replacement weight more than 4 kg...

I do not use SP1 vista and am not having any problem atm.

My Vista in idle uses 500MB of RAM++. Damn it, 4 kg for your specs is very heavy. Anyway, I stopped using PCs already even though I still have them and use them occasionally. For 4 kgs, I may as well purchase a MacBook Pro (I'm a Mac user) which is lighter and almost same specs. But MacBook Pro is damn expensive. Currently using 2X MacBooks.

Bro, it's the time to update to SP1. SP2 already coming out but you still haven't installed SP1.

wah really?? 500 MB in idle.. i think i need to remove all dell software then i can get below 1 gig figure. Do you remove all the software??
4kg if include adapter.. if include the backpack, mouse, other accessories and everything i think almost 8kg.. haha.. like wanna go jungle tracking ready
this lappie purposely to make CAD only and i need a big screen!!
Didnt try apple yet.. kinda scary with OS-X..

here my S/S = autocad+google chrome 4 tab+ym+outlook.

You should disable acrobat tray, CCC (if you never used it) and other unused background app using msconfig...

Please post the screenshot of: "Processes". I can only see very few processes so I don't know what's running in the background.

already use msconfig.. can reduce up to 800MB usage but will shot up more than 1.3gb once i run a few application, SS shot later coz i just idle now

Okay, I'm waiting for the screenshot. Btw, make sure that your using Windows Vista Basic or Windows Classic theme and disable WindowsDreamScene and Windows Sidebar.

vista doesnt supports some programs in games.

Please provide some info or STFU

Mind elaborate and give example?

who say P****e cant update..

tried Vista Ultimate. and use win update site..no prob at all..
download all of them in 1 day..

Using same spec as you, but i'm using low profile HD 2400. So far, no problem running games and apps.

maybe u can turn off indexing service..Nero background monitor, win media player library..picassa 3..
auto defrag utility.. Antivirus scanning in background.

these some example of what makes ur pc slow down alot.

my vista also hav tis problem.....but only occur wit bitcomet....hangs many time de when i select to stop all the dl together....zzzz....format many times de also cannot solve tis problem.......

most of game that i played.. run more stable in Vista than in XP..less crash

since then i stick wif vista

Wanna tumpang sikit,

my Vista 64 Bit always got IE not responding. What problem a?

reinstall IE7 and see if the problem still persists.

Nah, i didnt install it myself. Its come with the OS.

And i use Firefox, nothing hang also. Strange..

try ie8..
else if cant use oso..

just forget it..edy..

im not using IE for 1year edy..

coz ive got Chrome +firefox 3.05 edy..

Try to re-download and re-install the latest version of BitComet.

IE 8 BETA or bread and butter IE 7? Make sure that your version of IE, if your using IE 8 BETA is 64-Bit.

at the moment i using mozilla, so far no problem

IE sometimes works nicely also. No idea

format

format and then upgrade to sp1..just my 2 cents

im using that golden Vista ulti..
no problem at all for few month..

just download and install SP1 package yesterday..

feel a bit same actually..
indexing service still 'kacau' when playing games..

clear your cache..
perhaps your cache is full...
