I am using Windows 7 64 bit and last night I was listening to Itunes and suddenly the song stopped and everything froze. After a minute or two things started working again. Tonight as the computer came out of sleep it froze again. After 3 minutes or so I got tired of waiting so I just hit reset (yes, I know this can lead to disk corruption and it did) Disk Scan ran and it found 100's or orphaned files and "repaired" them then booted up and Kasperski showed it could not protect computer due to corrupted databases. I updated the databases and all is fine.
I have been reading about Windows 7 freezes but other than one or two at first I have not had a problem until recently as the freezes are totally random, sometimes with Internet Explorer, sometimes with FireFox, Itunes, Windows Live Mail.
All my drivers are up to date from the manufacturers. Either Microsoft (Windows 7), manufacturers and their drivers and software, or both need to get together and get the bugs out of the Windows 7 environment.
