Too many programs in the system tray – So I went into Task Manager and Resource viewer (very nice by the way) and methodically de-installed stuff that was no longer used and then prohibited a few more things from being starting. And then when I log in and try to launch Windows Explorer – Fail (again). Then I had some errands to do and then I was gone for 2.5 more hours and when I came back it was still at 70% – so I power-cycled it and somehow on the next boot, the service pack finished. First I left it sit for 30 minutes to see if it would unhang itself.

One hour and three reboots later, the upgrade was stuck at the third (of three) step at 70% complete and seemed to be hung.

Nope – that was not it.ĭid not install Service Pack 1 – I figured since this would hardly ever be used – I had never installed Vista SP1.

Not enough free disk space it only had 3GB free and that sounded like not enough so I went in and started uninstalling software and blasting large temporary files and got it up to 12GB free. Not enough memory so I went and bought 2GB so it went from 1GB to 3GB. So I decided I would find the daemons that inhabited my Windows partition! My suspects were:
But enough of that – back to my main train of thought. Mac is some of the only hardware that can run Vista, XP, and Windows-7. I think that Macs run Windows better than purpose build hardware like HP, Dell, etc – because Mac’s leave their hardware alone and quick tweaking the dang drivers. Needless to say, buying a new PC just for Windows was not one of the options I considered seriously. Their solution was to go buy a special computer just for Windows because “Macs Suck”. But this was kind of disquieting to the Windows users in the home. Interestingly they behaved better after you clicked on them and restarted them. Windows Explorer and the sidebar application were even getting the spinning wheel of death as soon as you clicked on them. Recently, it developed a really annoying problem of hanging on any kind of application startup – even pressing the “Start” button would hang the system. I installed it back in 2007, and pretty much left it alone. It is a simple installation with very little software, no games, people don’t read E-Mail, or do FaceBook and most of the time we spend with the computer booted to Mac OS/X so it does not get a lot of spyware or adware. I have BootCamp running on my mid-2007 iMac so we can go into Windows if needed. I have one Windows system left in an otherwise all-Macintosh home.
