    Hi, I have a problem with my CR220E that came with Vista.

    The problem is that this computer is really screwed up.

    For instance, when I web-surf, after one hour or so, the internet explorer suffers some problem such as

    1. Right click not working
    2. Ctrl + N to open new window does not work
    3. Ctrl + Alt + Del doesn't work. At least the taskmanager does not pop up.
    (Even when I try to click Run button and type taskmgr, it doesn't work)

    And I have to reboot the laptop to make it work again.

    Do you guys have any idea fixing this Vista/Sony problem?

    I am so sick of Vista that I want to install XP on it but I cannot find XP drivers for this laptop. Anyone know where to find XP drivers for this?

    Thanks a lot :)

    I have this problem too. Right-click works at first, but eventually it stops working.

    However, I have a Dell desktop with Windows XP SP2 with IE7. So, I suspect that it has nothing to with your hardware, or with Vista (with the possible exception of IE7, which is part of Vista)

    Actually, I suspect that it is due to using Notebookreview a lot. I often have multriple tabs that display Notebookreview.

    The problem is possibly due to an interaction between IE7 and ad-blocking software (e.g Adaware), or due to having my IE7 security set at medium-high and privacy at medium.
