I never had random hangs with 32-bit on my desktop, but this is a serious issue with Vista 64-bit .

I've seen basically the same thing. I purchased a new hard-drive for my HP dv6000 CTO. I had 64-bit install discs that came with the Vista Ultimate I bought for my desktop, so I put 64-bit Home Premium with the original key on the new HD. You can do this with any version; 32-bit Vista discs are the same across versions, as are the 64-bit discs. The CD key you feed to the installer determines which version (Home, Premium, Ultimate, or Business) gets installed.

I can't find any particular cause, so I'm calling it "random". The system appears to lock up, with only the mouse cursor responding. Interestingly, it seems that the Aero desktop compositing is still working, because I can't type or open any new applications, but I can switch active windows.

Anyway, after a minute or three, the system comes back. Interestingly, it appears that it was paying attention, because anything I told it to do while it was "locked up" actually happens all at once - new windows open, menus pop up, files close, etc.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Remarkably based article from Garter - apparently there IS someone working there that actually understands mainframe systems.

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      Calling it TDS doesn’t answer the question: why did this site skip prior UFC games but review this one, at this exact political moment?

      Its the timing of its release, mixed with the timing of the review mixed with the timing of the event, when this site never reviewed previous iterations of this game that I could find.
    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature"

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
