From everything I've ever heard,  Vista may be the worst Windows OS for 
music in the past 15 years.
It's just horrible.

Win XP Service Pack 3 kicks ass on it even though it is a previous OS 
and I hear that Win 7 is even better than that.

Typically,  Windows OS have issues until at least a couple of service 
packs come out (which is usually at least
two years after they are introduced)............I have to say,  the Win 
XP really runs robustly for me.

Painful as it sounds,  I'd highly recommend that you back all your stuff 
up and
clean install with a much more efficient OS than Vista.   My wife has it 
on her laptop and
I can say I truly hate it.
