Gentlepersons,
I am pained to read this Thread because you are all honored customers, and... I am a perfectionist. We do NOT see the problems you are experiencing, and we test on XP+SP3, Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, and Vista 64.
RickyRay pointed out that VIP and Beta Testers seem to be running without problems, but not "common" users.
Read and DO all the changes to your system in this FAQ page:

This is one reason "seasoned" users are not experiencing the problems some of you are.
Vista's SIDEBAR takes an
ENORMOUS amount of compute power. If you have it running... disable it.
AERO also plays havoc with video/audio products. Consider disabling it.
There are other changes to make. I hope this helps more of you in this Thread. I know we would all like to hear WHICH of the changes you make (and if you have XP or Vista), and did they work. This will help us and all our users.
We ARE listening....
