Vista 64 bit, Conroe E6600 2GB Mem
Vista has been running fine for over 6 months but in the last few weeks several users have had issues which are the same (me included).
1) User opens Computer (Start > Computer) it starts to open sit but sits there with the whizzing thing spinning (use to be egg timer - not sure what it is called for Vista) for up to several minutes, eventually it does display what you want - what is causing this?
It was fine until a few weeks ago and the gut feeling is that this started to happen just after the latest updates.
2) The folder/file view select keeps changing back to some other one to the one you set it too, it can be fine for weeks, days, then it just changes, seemingly at random - how can I stop this?
3)When printing, click Ok to print and the print dialogue dims, the Vista whizzing timer thing sits there spinning, can be minutes (much the same as issue 1)before it prints.
4)When copying thousands of files and GB's of data, it seems to take ages to calculate the time it will take, and more than once it seems to have got into some sort of loop - this issue was noticed from first use of Vista.
As I said, all of the above issue, with the exception of the last one, number 4, seemed to have happened after the last updates were applied, there was also a big update for Offcie 2007
