Constant Freezing in Vista

ShadowFold · Feb 18, 2009

My windows Vista x86 install has been having some freezing problems lately. Here is a screen shot, everything just locks up and I can't click on anything.. I can move my mouse tho. I'm about to reinstall XP 32bit until Windows 7 goes retail since my friend lost my vista disc..

P.S. Everything is at stock.. It started doing it this morning so I reset the bios and set everything to stock so.. I also cleaned all my drivers and reinstalled them.

Is it just FireFox, or does it happen when it's not open as well?

Not sure yet. I'm running IE7 right now so.

Like spearman said reinstall the fox. This happen to me also after an update(firefox) I deleted and reinstalled and never again.

You dont want to go back to XP that would be a big mistake IMO
