    Gidday guys.

    I am about ready to burn this thing. It is 6 weeks old, and just seems to go haywire. If I click on a desktop shortcut, notably "Control Panel" probably half the time I get a Windows Explorer tab appear on the tool bar, then a Windows Explorere-Not responding tab. I don't know why it seems intermittent, or why it seems worse straight after booting. It's not just the shortcut for Control panel, but others as well, even if I try from the start menu. Other times, I will open something, just to get a blank square in the middle of the screen. I have tried a recovery (wasting a license of Trend Micro in the process) but it's still the same. Is my machine a piece of crap, or is this just Vista. Help please anyone?
