    I have an OSS and Vista shared as half and half. The Mac has no problem, but the vista SP1 keeps freezing. I installed Vista SP1 in my working place, so whenever I use my laptop in my workplace it works perfectly fine. But, when I go home, the laptop makes massive freezes and the CPU rises to 100 whenever i do simple tasks, such as open "My Document". Can someone please help me solve this problem? Is it something all SP1's do or is it the location problem. THanks~!

    When the CPU rises to 100% switch the task manager to processes and see which process is hogging things up.

    I'm guessing it's some sort of network thing gone haywire.

    Is this a clean install or have you been using it awhile and have other programs installed including possible spyware or viruses?

    Check what programs are running and using the memory up and the processor.

    Check your computer temperatures as well. Get SpeedFan for that.
