Wheel of Death and Not Responding
I have had Vista for over two years now and two things that are driving me to despair are i) the 'Wheel of Death' and ii) Not Responding
The Wheel of Death, as I call it, is infuriating be beyond distraction. You know what I mean, that perishing orbiting blue wheel. It comes on for no apparent reason and just locks up the system - can anyone tell me what the use is of this annoying little ....? Worse than the old egg timer.
"Application" Not Responding. The screen just mists up and often works in conjunction with i) above. Once again, no reason is given. I know with AOL a message pops up to let me know that there is a fault and will let me know what the error is and what the solution is to cure it, but never, ever has! Sometimes my whole system locks up and have to reboot..
If a reason is given, I might be able to forgive Vista. I have tried just about everything to cure it - increasing RAM. defrag, disk clean up. Clearing Temp files and Temp Internet files, shutting down other programs running in the background. I think I have tried just about everything, but the one thing I haven't discovered and tried yet, must be the one thing someone else knows about and hasn't passed on to me yet.
Bill Gates! Try this computer of mine for a while and it'll soon wipe the smile off your face, especially when you are in the middle of something important or complicated, and the Wheel of Death and a Wipeout happens and you have to start all over again.
Anyone with contructive suggestions before I throw this out of the window?
