System Restore slow to start, get on the Vista diet

I'm using Vista upgrade, clean install. Because I'm having so many problems
with Vista I keep creating Restore Points.
Sometimes it takes minutes for System Restore to open.
When I create a new restore point, System Protection crashes after it says
it has successfully created a new restore point.
This is my third install of Vista. XP is looking pretty darned good.
I have been trying to configure Vista to work optimally for three days now.
I have lost 6 pounds due to my obsession with this.
If you want a good diet, get on the Vista diet! I have never has so many
problems with a Microsoft product as I have with Vista.

Can you describe what "System Protection crashes" means? Are you getting
error messages?

System Protection: Not responding. I have to kill it with task manager.
This is very perplexing. System Restore, when opened for the first time
after a boot takes forever to open, however once it has opened once, it
opens quicker the next time. Any suggestions.

This turns out to be a known bug. The only workaround is to wait--don't kill
the System Protection process (this isn't a crash).

Can you give me a rundown of your hardware? Specifically, let me know: CPU
type (P4, Athlon, Celeron) and speed, memory size and type (SDR, DDR, DDR2),
hard disk size and RPM (4200, 5400, 7200, 10000).

2.0 GHz AMD Turionâ„¢ 64 Mobile Processor ML-37 with PowerNow!â„¢ Technology
1MB L2 Cache
2048MB 333MHz DDR System Memory (2 Dimm)
120GB (4200RPM) Hard Drive

And here I thought I was going crazy.

No, no, not crazy! Give the system time to finish. I will let you know if I
find any more info about this bug.
