Hi,

My labtop has been working great until yesterday. I do not know what reason the system was hung (mouse can not move) after 5 or 10 mminutes running (AVItoDVD burning is runing). The I powered off the labtop and turned it on. It worked great and quick. Then I run AVItoDVD converter to make movie. When I returned after 5 or 10 minutes, the system was still, I could not move the mouse. I forced to power off the lab top.
Notice that this has not happened before.

Does my lap top get virus?

Thank you for your comments.

Best Regards,

Have you always had AVItoDVD?

Have you also tried System Restore?

As you know, It is hard to do system restore in Window Vista.

First click on the start menu, then choose control
panel, click on System and Maintenance. Click on
backup and restore center. Clock on Restore File from
Back up. Click on Use Window Restore to fox problem
and undo changes to Windows. Then I select Chose
Restore Point. But There is only point of current
date. I do not see the previous restore points or
Show restore points either

AFAIK, the System Restore I'm referring to is invoked the same way in Vista as it was in XP. You may be confusing that with the new Backup & Restore feature in Vista - there is a difference.

My other concern is that you think creating backups is a chore, if you value your data ... you shouldn't.
