"Not Responding"

[rdub]

I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I am now getting "Not Responding" on almost every window. Browser, email, system etc. Of course when this happens nothing works. Can anyone suggest a fix?

Start up the Task Manager. Select the Processes page. Click the Show Processes from all Users button. When the Task Manager comes back click on the CPU column to get the largest CPU users at the top. Make the screen as small as possible but still visable and see if anything is using excessive CPU when things get non-responsive. Let us know what you find.
