I had the same problem and haad to resort to Partition Magic
Just out of curiosity, what type of video card do you have?
I experience this exact same problem using an Nvidia FX5500 video card, and traced the problem to the native Windows drivers for Nvidia. The cpu was being flooded with interrupt requests which was causing the 'lag' effect.
By replacing the video driver with the latest Vista driver from nvidia.com the issue was resolved for me.

After updating from Beta2 to SR1, I noticed that if I move the mouse slowly across the screen, every 2 or 3 seconds the arrow would pause or hesitate for approx 1/4 of a second. Also when I open notepad and hold down the "x" key so that x's start to be written across the page, every 2 or 3 seconds the x's will pause, again for approx 1/4 of a sec and then continue on for another 2 or 3 seconds until there's another pause.
This does NOT occur when I boot into Safe Mode w/ networking.
But it DOES occur when I do a "Selective Startup" w/out loading system services or startup programs (clearing the check boxes in msconfig), even if I also choose a "base video" startup (msconfig- Boot tab, checking "Base Video")- arrow.
Using the "net start" command, I found that only 2 services ARE running during the Selective Startup that are NOT running during Safe Mode. Those two services are: - Group Policy Client - Software Licensing
Disabling Software Licensing service doesn't help. I assume "Group Policy Client can't be stopped.
What's could be causing these irritating hesitations, and how can I fix it?
Thanks.
This sorted my problem, thanks for all the help.

It appears that some sites cannot be opened with Vista (beta 2) because the webservers don't respond well to the tcp autotuning feature that is enabled by default. I managed to access the sites by turning off this network auto tuning with the command:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
Since this is a network setting, it affects all browsers. It's not a IE7 issue.

If you want a little background on the design decisions made for Vista's defrag, see our blog at https://blogs.technet.com/filecab/archive/tags/Disk+Defragmenter/default.aspx. You might find the FAQ useful, as well as the recent chat transcript.

Is there a way to access defrag.exe in Vista RC1? I'm an advanced user and would prefer to use the full graphical defragment utility, not the limited one that pops up when you click on drive properties, then defragment. It appears they have made it simpler, but it also doesn't display nearly as much information.
As I understand there are two ways to access defrag.exe, through the command prompt and from the System32 folder. I figured out how to access it through the command prompt (using an administrator command prompt) but that only gives me a text version. When I click the file in System32 it tries to do something (command prompt window displays for a few milliseconds) but then nothing happens (this is the same as "run" "defrag.exe"). Thanks for the help. -- Dave

On the Start Menu choose "All Programs", then go to "Administrative Tools", and choose "Event Viewer", then when the viewer loads choose which type of logs that you wish to view, "Applications", "System", "Security", etc.

It seems I'm cursed with defrag in Vista. After installing Diskeeper 10 and rebooting, ALL the storage is diappeared from Computer Management and now I cant resize or move any partition.

That's strange. I seem to have better download speeds with Vista. I am clocing downloads up to 100 and 150k through my Cable internet. My downloads acre cruising.

This also happened to me as well with beta 2, builds 5600 and 5728. However build RC2 5744 seems to be fine. Copying a 3.59 gigabyte file from one sata drive to another took less than 3 minutes. Deleting the file (3.59 gigabytes) from Vista took a couple of seconds to drop it into the recycle bin. The recycle bin emptied correctly when prompted. "Stuart Nathan" wrote in message

Symptoms are: it boots fine, it's loading stuff after boot, it works fine for about 2 minutes then just freezes. There's a little activity going on (clock changes every 10 minutes or so, mouse will move after same time period). I can get the task manager loaded but it's not giving me a clue to the hang cause. I suspect Desktop Search but it's only a theory.
Any diagnostics I can run to find the cause?
Hi,
Solution to your problem is disabling disck caching for hard drives and disabling all power management features under vista.

This is the way i have always installed an OS on my computer but i tried an update as well but had the same problem with that install.
I'm sure its the lack of memory and relative low spec of the system but i'm not sure if it is a hardware incompatability with the motherboard.
Thanks anyway its much appreciated.

This solutuion worked for me! I had tried everything and I had never tried the autotune thing unitl now. Although, I dont think setting the system to default autotune is the best way to do the final release.. I mean really this will piss lot of users off.. if their browser doesnt work right out of the box. Of course this is assuming this issue is not changed in RC2 or the final release.

You can also try using another USB slot. If it is plugged into a USB hub, take it out and plug it directly into the computer.

I have just recently installed RC1 Build 5600 and it is almost not usuable. I understand that it is a pre-release and I have used many pre-release versions prior to this, but never had these problems. I know that there are issues with drivers, and I am still trying to find usable drivers. My rating is 1.0
This is a new system that I just built several weeks ago and it ran just fine with XP. It is a 3.4 GHz PIV D with 512 Mbs of DDR2 memory.
So far I like what I have seen with the operating system, and looking forward to the final release, but if I can't resolve some of these issues within the next few days, I will be forced to go back to XP.
I usually do clean installs, but for several reasons, I did not do that this time. I upgraded Windows XP Home Edition
Any suggestions ould be appreciated.

I am having the exact problem. I assumed it was the indexing icon in the start menu. Is their another way to turn off the searchprocesses? With all the reloading it makes it impossible to turn it off.

Under problems and solutions Windows is telling me that problems with the search protocol is solved in the next CTP build. It happens here from time to time, you can kill the searchprocesses in taskmanager.
If you type something in searchpane it will start itself new.
Also this seems to happen, when your drive is not yet complete indexed and you try a search before that.

I'm using build 5600 (RC1) and have a huge problem with the WindowsSearch process (Windows Desktop Search Tool Try Admin).

I have tried several things like to disable the Windows Search service and the indexing of the filesystem, but it continues reloading and reloading. My solution now is to use the Safe Mode with Network until Microsoft have a new build available, or maybe you have a solution?

I have finally figured out the problem. It appears to be a driver conflict. To see if this is the problem on your system download "Process Explorer v10.2" from sysinternals.com. If you see 30-40% to Hardware Interupts. A driver is your problem. This took me forever to figure out. My conflict was with my sound card. Well good luck to the rest of yall. thanks for all your help.

I have Vista RC1, and get the following errors:
- low memory trying to play a DVD in Media Player - DECODER ERROR in Media Center trying to play a DVD - DECODER ERROR in Media Center trying to watch TV from a Hauppauge WinPVR-150 (I think it sends the video to the PC in MPEG)
Can you tell me if the MPEG-2 codecs for RC1 are expired now? If that is so, can you tell me how I can get an unexpired codec? I believe I have some codec's with software for that PC, but it is XP based, and I don't know if it is compatible with Vista.

The reason for this behavior is that the "trial period" on MPEG-2 codecs needed for MCE/DVD playback/burn has expired around 8/31 in Vista Beta 2. Using RC1 is the right solution for now. The codecs in final Vista release would not have such an expiration.

When I click on something (anything, IE/VNC/etc) at random intervals it hangs for around 1-2 minutes. Mouse and keyboard "respond" but the system is in a perpetual state of hanging until all my commands hit at the same time.
Some info on the system: Sony VAIO VGN-S460 1.2GB RAM, Pentium 4.
This only started happening recently, so i thought it may have been an update that did it. No luck after uninstalling it. Next I also just recently upgraded the RAM, but after running several (hours) of tests it turns out fine too.
Lastly, I thought the CPU may be overheating, but I don't know how to test that at the moment. According to the taskmgr though, the CPU does not go to 100% during the "lag" but it does act as if it was.
Looking forward to anyone's help. I have WebEx if some Microsoft tech wants to take a look at it.
Thanks,
Yeah, I had to download the meeting manager in the troubleshooting section.

How did you get WebEx to work?! I tried to host a meeting this AM and it locked up loading meeting manager with 1 min left (just hung there even though the progress bar showed 100%).

Me too I am going out of my mind trying to solve it. It is not my system It can't be. I got the message when I had a gig of ram and 1200mb virtual I upgrade to two gigs of ram and let my virtual mem be at 3000mb. I got the same message. I dumbed down all my performance choices and closed all my programs. No change. The cost in time and effort alone is crazy. Who is going to pay money for these head aches? Pete

I have Vista RC1, and get the following errors:
- low memory trying to play a DVD in Media Player - DECODER ERROR in Media Center trying to play a DVD - DECODER ERROR in Media Center trying to watch TV from a Hauppauge WinPVR-150 (I think it sends the video to the PC in MPEG)
Can you tell me if the MPEG-2 codecs for RC1 are expired now? If that is so, can you tell me how I can get an unexpired codec? I believe I have some codec's with software for that PC, but it is XP based, and I don't know if it is compatible with Vista.

The reason for this behavior is that the "trial period" on MPEG-2 codecs needed for MCE/DVD playback/burn has expired around 8/31 in Vista Beta 2. Using RC1 is the right solution for now. The codecs in final Vista release would not have such an expiration.

Well, I can't help but you are not alone. I just started getting errors as well and have read a usenet post that indicated the same. I'm hoping one of the updates has a bug that will be fixed by Microsoft.

I used to be able to do both with no problem. I'm running a 3.4Ghz Intel Viiv Dual Processor, 2GB RAM and have 150GB free of my hard drive... Any help?
I temporarily changed my system date to Aug 15th and all the problems went away. So it seems like the decoder did expire sometime after Aug 15th.
Unfortunately, the performance was really bad. The image would jump when watching TV. That didn't happen watching a DVD. But in both cases, the CPU was almost 100% busy.
The same computer booted to XP is able to do either with ~35% CPU usage.
My PC's an older P4 1.7Gig with PC133 ram. It does have a new ATI Radeon 9550 video card (so it supports Aero), but the AGP slot is limited to run at 4x max speed.
