If you post details of what programs cause problems, it is probable
someone may be able to give solutions.

Is this a new computer shipped with Windows Vista?
Return it since windows vista does not perform as expected.

Or did you purchase Windows Vista and install on an existing computer?
If so, did you verify Windows Vista compatibility with all hardware
and software before installing Windows Vista?
Anything the manufacturer says is incompatible or you have other
reason to suspect should be uninstalled before the upgrade.
The Upgrade Advisor can also help:

Remember, as the name suggests, it is an advisor, nothing more.
You still need to research your essential hardware and software.

Any hardware that is questionable should be removed/disconnected.
Additionally anti virus, spyware removers and other malware tools
should be removed, not just disabled, before upgrading.

If you are still dissatisfied, return retail Windows Vista.
Easy in North America within 45 days of purchase.
Other regions may have other policies.

I'm a developer and I use Visual Studio, but for development work, I still
use XP. I have a testbox which has Vista. I have Visual Studio on the
Vista box. It acts weird and I wouldn't dream of using Vista for any
serious development. Maybe when Vista SP2 comes out and the first Service
Pack for the newly released Visual Studio 2008. Take you time moving over
if you can.

What Jupiter said, with the note:

What's the call stack on the crash? Or, what's the fault bucket data--

I cant understand how they squeezed so many bugs inside the Vista code..

they must have used some sort of high compression.. LOL

jokes aside.. take a look at the other thread we were talking about...
I have some suggestions for WMP, it would be great if you took a look, just
so the time I took writing the post
would not go wasted..

thank you

Study the Vista Application Compatibility Guide on MSDN:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/win.../aa904987.aspx

Microsoft has been publishing this info on Vista for developers, since the
PDC in 2003!

I couln't agree more. I have gone through Win 3.1 to this mess called
Vista, and this is worst, problematic, unstable, and tottally undependable.
I have it since shortly after it came out and it's been one of the biggest
mistakes I've ever made. I've had to spend more time reconfiguring and
trouble shooting a multitude of problems, ever aspect of the system has
broken down at some time or another, that I have had very little time to
accomplish anything worthwhile. I need a system for work and production,
not diddling around with a mess I know now is never going to be worthwhile.
As soon as I finish burning to disk all my important data, I'm going back to
XP Pro. To Hell with Vista.

Well, since you claim to be a developer, why don't you design your
applications to work properly on the target OS?

I am not demanding him to see it.. nor forward it ...
I took the time in good faith that he would see it and thats all....

One thing is certain.. is that MS ignored thousands of people who gave good
feedback..
Its their arrogance in ignoring all this feedback that will be their
downfall.

now take your crappy personality and go play with your fip 3d vista button
