I am very frequently getting on of the following error messages:
"Windows Live Mail (not responding)"
"Microsoft word - non-commercial use (Not responding)"
"Windows Explorer (Not Responding)"
In each case the only way of getting out of the problem is to click the exit button (top right)which then gives a choice of:
1. Restart (the application, not the whole system)
2. Close (the application)
3. Let Windows sort out the problem (never works)
So it's not a drastic problem (so far!)but very annoying
