A priceless screenshot of an error message taken from Windows Vista. Hat tip: Duncan Riley.
These Programs are causing Windows to Start Slowly:
- Host Process for Windows Service (svchost.exe)
- Windows Explorer (explorer.exe)
- Microsoft Software Licensing Service (SLsvc.exe)
Update: Conversation regarding Windows Vista problems continues here as the comments have been closed on this post.

However, if any of you have used Vista, or had access to it, it's not too disimilar from Mac's OS "X" platform. With the exception that it doesn't have a Unix backbone. :( One can hope. LOL

Last time I checked, Mac is the only OS that ever shows up in movies. In any case, Windows Vista is a "Wholly Crap! NIGHTMARE!" ... You talk about wanting my $256 back really bad right about now. I could send you a boatload of error "snippets" that I've taken in Vista Home Premium in the past couple of hellish days since buying it. I'm almost in tears it's so freakin' bad. I have a nice clean version...still in the plastic...of WIN 95. I htink I'm going to install it on a dual boot just so I can use my computer again.

It has downloaded definition updates for Windows Defender and failed to install them for over 2 weeks.
The Free 3 Month's of Tech Support that come's with Vista is a joke. I e-mailed them last Sunday and still haven't recieved any real answer's or solutions for the numerous problem's this o.s. has caused.
I ran the Upgrade Advisor at Microsoft's website before Christmas and it said my p.c. could handle Vista Ultimate , if I removed X.P.'s Power Toys and updated my Video Card driver.
Now , I get error message's when I try to use my Lexmark X7170 Printer ,
One Touch 2 portable H.D. and it also doesn't recognize my T.V. tuner / F.M. radio card.
It recognized all this and said everything I just listed was compatible.
Did Microsoft change the Vista compatibilities since before Christmas when I ran there Upgrade Advisor at there Web Site for it .
What a joke and nightmare rolled into one.
P.S. If your considering Vista repeatedly rethink about it as Aero , User Account / Parental Control's and Media Center aren't worth the headache's for the price any version of Vista cost's.
Be very careful in your decision making , when it com's to Vista as it could be another 5 years for the next version from Redmond .
