No, Windows explorer, outlook, word, Adobe, all lock up all the time. In addition to restoring the laptop 8 times, the RAM and the HD have been replaced. There are a lot of application errors, cdrom errors, as well as application hangs.
I am just sick of M$ and want to give something else a try. The problems I am having are both on a XP machine as well as a Vista machine.
sounds to me like you got a lemon. I have 3 different computer at my house and work with over 100 computers on a daily basis at work. I think you need to get your mother board replaced. If you have replaced the hard drive and ram an dit is still locking up there are other problems with that computer besides MICROSOFT. If it was possible to load mac osx10.5 on that computer it would still suck just as bad.
I think that is the main problem I am having, have two computers in the house, both MS computers, and both have similar problems, as well as individual problems. I am just sick of having computers that have hardware and software problems, and from the numerous people, the problems I am having, don't exist with macs, or at least exist in dramatically smaller occurences.
