2009-10-25T02:53:11+00:00 Hi,
There seems to be some hardware driver incompatibility and I will suggest you to get in touch with the manufacturer for the latest drivers for the hardwares. Open the Reliability and Performance Monitor, open the Reliability Monitor in the left column and you can see hardware, Windows and application failures.
You can also give a try by repairing the current Windows Vista Installation:

Cheers and Enjoy....:)

2016-04-28T01:53:01+00:00 I had a critical error unable to locate start menu after a recent update. I uninstalled Dropbox that was added on 04/15/16 and my Windows 1 performed normally.
Hope this helps someone else.
