Exactly how (using what software) did you look for "infections of any
kind"?


yet MSMail, MozillaFF and
IE7 lock up constantly. How can this be fixed short of a reformat and
reinstall of the OS? Vista has been as unstable as W98 for us. Is there any
way to get it as stable as XP? Does anyone know what causes these constant
W98 type freezes so many of us are enduring with Vista?




In my experience, on my own two Vista machines (one running Vista for
over two years, since rtm in November 2006) and on many others, Vista
has been absolutely stable, and has *never* crashed nor locked up.

So if your experience is different from mine, be aware that the
problem is not Vista, as you apparently believe, but is something
specific to *your* computer. Here are the possibilities:

1. Malware infection (despite what you think).

2. Hardware (or drivers for the hardware) that doesn't get along with
Vista.

3. Software that doesn't get along with Vista.

4. Some error you've made in setting up or configuring your machine.



Ken, give up on this guy. He has been asked for that information
several times. No reply from him. And, he still makes these posts
again and again.



Thanks. I hadn't remembered that.
