Would it not make sense to post a Vista question to a Vista newsgroup
instead of Windows XP newsgroup?

:I am running Vista Home Premium SP2 and few days ago I added a new
: graphic board. I also installed some new software and my system became
: very slow. The system worked well and fast for just 30-40 seconds and
: then freezed for 2-3 minutes with the windows of the application
: saying "Non responding" ("Non risponde" in italian)
:
: I was not able to understand the cause of the problem, so I decided to
: reinstall from scratch.
:
: I now have a system where Vista is just reinstalled with all the
: current updates. I didn't see any problem related to the updates
: installation.
: But still I see from time to time some windows "Non Respondig"
:
: On the system I have installed the drivers of the new graphic board. I
: don't see any error or conflict of the boards. I had tried to run both
: boards with two videos: it was funny and it worked.
: Now I have disabled the original board that is on the mother board,
: but with this board enabled or not, it doesn't make any difference.
:
: On the system I have now installed only Firefox, Kaspersky 9 and Adobe
: Reader. So it should be a very light system. Still I have some freezes
: that became more severe while I was installing these few softwares or
: while I was scanning the system for viruses.
:
: I have just 2 Gb of RAM, but the system was working well before the
: installation of the new graphic board, and at that time it was really
: overlaoded with application, including the same Kaspersky 9, Firefox
: and Adobe Reader plus many others.
:
: How can I check if it is a problem of conflict of Graphic board, RAM,
: conflict between some Windows updates and my applications or failure
: of some other component?
:
: Could somebody advise me on some diagnostic tool or process to follow?
:
: Thanks in advance,
