More Vista woes!

System Hang

Is this Vista or the Toshiba...?

I left my laptop alone for a while, when I returned the screen was blank, the system wouldn't respond to keypresses. Caps lock/Num lock didn't toggle their respective lights on/off, and dabbing the power button didn't put the system to sleep. So, hold down power button and switch off.

So, try for a replacement set of AMD/ATI drivers, see if that helps. Ho hum.

UAC

The new system under Vista for elevating privs is a bit clumsy. It seems to be asking for every operation I might do that needs "elevation", and failing silently those that don't realise they need it! Also it seemed to ask me twice on one occaison!
