Found the problem on mine. It was vista. I simply did a freash install of
vista and unchecked the box about installing updates. It was one of the
update things that was causing it.

Same. I got a brand new computer and it freezes about 90% of the time even
when I have nothing open at all.

Does
anyone know about this or have had a similar program?
