    This could be caused by a lot of different things. You haven't given

    enough information to get focused help. Please see this link for what

    details you need to include about your computer in your next post:

    This has been a problem with some USB drivers, much more prevalent in the

    beta

    releases of Vista. I have a Creative webcam that still causes this problem.

    I removed

    the webcam and driver and haven't had the problem. If you do have USB

    devices,

    you might want to check the manufacturer's web site for Vista drivers.

     

    Good luck,

    Tim Bell

    Ditto. My wife and I both run Vista on our laptops and they both consistently

    freeze, regardless of the application we're running Outlook, PowerPoint,

    Explorer, it doesn't matter. Unfortunately, we were unable to buy XP anymore

    when we bought our laptops ... I am SO dissappointed with Microsoft you have

    no idea. A patch please!

    Try looking for new video drivers,,,,,, these are notorious for causing

    lockups and freezing. If no new one try to revert to an older one.
