If you have just migrated to Vista from XP wipe the HDD with something similar to Boot & Nuke available here

Then install XP and keep it fully updated and work with that till Vista starts to become more reliable which it isn't at the moment.

If you like you can post a question on the Windows Vista Community here

You also need to use Vista Drivers and not XP Drivers as they don't work correctly with Vista so you can track down the Vista drivers at the above Web Site if you wish to preserve with the Vista Install.

Of course if this is a computer Under Guarantee return t for repair ASAP.

Sounds like you:
1) Don't have enough system memory (RAM). You need a MINIMUM Of 2GB. 4GB would be much better.
2) Have a weak CPU.
3) Need upgraded video and drivers.
4) Could probably do with a larger, faster HD.
5) Never updated Vista as you should have.
6) Are probably running without a strong AV presence, and so have huge amounts of malware on your HD.
7) Probably need to run a Defragger for a few hours.
