fast and is usually wrong.

Hi,

What's not responding? When does it happen?

Rick,
Lot's of programs. Photoshop, Firefox, Lightroom, Windows Media Player to
name a few of the regulars. With Photoshop if I just wait it out the program
finishes the process and the message goes away. Vista just seems to jump the
gun a lot.

Hi,

Either too much is loading at boot, or you have some spy/adware loaded.
First place the system in diagnostic mode by running msconfig from the
search line. It's on the general tab. After rebooting, see if the problems
still occur while running a couple of programs. If not, then the problem
lies in all the software that was disabled, the startup tab of that utility
will have the list. If it's still happening, run full system scans with your
preferred antivirus and antispyware applications.

Rick,
I'll try your suggestion and see what happens.
Thanks

RickRogers, you have absolutely no idea what message he is referring to,
do you? You should not respond to problems unless you understand what
the problem is. He (as well as myself), want to get rid of that damned
annoying "Program Not Responding" message that Vista is way too
trigger-happy about. Half of the time, the program is simply loading.
When I click "Cancel" to clear the message box, the program RESUMES
right before Vista shuts it down. Obviously, this feature is flawed and
needs to be disabled. Any one know how to do it? Anyone NOT named
RickRogers? This is not about viruses, or spyware, or load. This is
about disabling a feature of Vista. OBVIOUSLY. -_-
