Vista freezes from time to time... UAC problem?
I recently installed Windows Vista Home Premium and have noticed a troublesome delay when doing some things in Vista. For example, I could be switching from one application to the next and Vista would hang for about 10 seconds then resume. I could even be switching from one web page to another in IE7 and the same thing would happen. I want to blame this on UAC... but am not sure what could be the problem. Here's my system stats:
Motherboard: DFI Infinity SLI (NF4)
Memory: 2GB
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 - 3200
Hard Drive: 250 GB Western Digital
I forgot to mention that my graphics card is the Geforce 7600 GT and Microsoft Vista rates my machine a 4.1 with the CPU score being the lowest (@ 4.1), so its not my computer's hardware.

There could be two things:
1. the driver you are using for your motherboard (nvidia didn't release yet a stable version for nforce 4 and above, and the beta version has minor problems which hopefuly will be fixed soon).. this is also available for video drivers
2. the processor's speed... On a single core CPU, Vista won't run that great...

You seem to have a good system, at first I thought maybe its your memory, but when i saw you had 2GBs I thought, "Wow, maybe Vistas requirements are much higher." The only thing i can guess is that maybe some of your RAM might not be working well or maybe Vista is having a harder time transferring Data from your hard drive. I heard its going to need some pretty good computers to run but i wouldn't think thats a problem. No one has much experience with Vista yet but i would recommend getting help from Microsoft.

The RAM manufacturer doesn't matter as much as exactly matching the voltage, latency, capacity and speed. It is just easier to buy from the same builder. I haven't upgraded to Vista yet but when I do I will run a minimum of 2 Gb and probably 4 Gb.

Just bought Windows Vista Home Premium I'm having exactly the same problem as above. My config. Intel D 3.2GHz, 1.5GB & 250GB SATA HDD. My XP Media ctr. is way more stable than this release of Vista.

Don't understand your system stats. You should talk to a professional or something. It posible your computer isn't upgraded enough to run the actual program. go to http://www.staples.com/vista and run this program that will see if your computer is able to actually run it. You might have to uninstall it.
