I am guessing that something probably got messed up in the installation of vista.What i would suggest doing, formatting your hard drive, and then reinstalling XP and vista. Make sure that you don't install any programs from the time you install XP to when you install vista.See if that helps, if not Microsoft provides free installation support (or at least they used to).

First things first, we do NOT ever mention piracy in our forums.Anyways, my question is: why bother installing XP along side w/ Vista? Upgrade the full way!xboxrulz

It's not because he downloaded vista that it is persĂŠ illegal. You can legaly download vista, but that's only the business version.
And why running both along side ? Because not everything works on vista like it works on XP.

joe, considering your problem. I suggest you first do a full virus scan (I see you've been doing on, but I think you're using Norton ... baaaaad choise, try doing an online virusscan, or install a virus-scanner without on-access protection, like the free version of bit-defender, or Clam Anti-virus portable).
Next, scan for malware using ad-aware and spybot s&d.
Infection is one option.

What you might try is booting the WinXP cd in recovery and ruling out Vista's boot manager by doing a fixmbr. Next, try the same for Vista.

Last but not least, start backing up your data ...

ok ... ok
@ .:Brian:.
i dont think the problems is the installation because i have formated my Pc and reinstalled windows 3times... till now

@wutske

I see you've been doing on, but I think you're using Norton ... baaaaad choise

I am not using Norton iam using Mcafee Enterprise 8(that's the only 1 i trust ... till now)And yes i have made a full scan for my system 3 times but nothin'

and For

i dont know how to do that coz i never tired that before .

but here's the facts:
first i had Xp and had no problem ,it was working just fine
and after a while i downloaded Vista Business then the troubles became which was a big annoy for me and ended up Formatting My Pc.
and downloading Vista Ultimate (1 windows) but the problem was the same so finally i ended up with win Xp and Vista..
i know it seems abit rediculious but i had no idea what to do but "Formating" .

and 1 more thing i have otice this morning on my XP that some files icons has been change into Vista style ... ?????

I'm afraid there is something bad in the partition table, due to the dual Windows install. Remember that Windows puts things you don't master (like boot.ini) in places you would not expect them to be.
However, the freezing looks more like a hardware problem, bad blocks on your hard disk and/or too many retries on the Ethernet adapter. Remember that simply a faulty Ethernet cable can cause a system freeze !
In order to evacuate the hardware hypothesis, may I suggest you to boot on a Linux or a Windows LiveCD, and see if the problem remains ? If the problem remains witth a liveCD, this means that the problem is not from the Operating System nor from the Hard Disk.
I would also like to suggest you to read this topic : http://forums.xisto.com/topic/92272-topic/?findpost=1064363523
It's from the "Similar topics" section of the forum, and I found it effectively very similar. Seems that a lot of people canot have a correct dual-boot with both XP and Vista.

@yordani totally agree with you... that what i thought a week agoand sent it for technical check for all hardware parts and after all the problem was My cooling system(fans and supply power)was extremely damaged so i replaces them among 1 hard-disk which was ok before i sent it ,???. ;)but after all it just keep on bugging meHelp me!!!! [edit]but althought i do suspect My CPU because when i run Vista it seems to be buys all the time CPU 15%-100% even though iam only on IE (internet exploer without the sidebar)

Hey congrats you lasted a week on an untested microsoft program I don't know how to fix the problems other then calling tech help or posting on Microsofts forums and emailing them (unless your computer is too glitchy to do that). Windows XP SP2 has that error on it also sometimes. They set it up so when you close a window, it moves the windows left slowly but sometimes glitchs if you have a real fragmented computer. Do you have XP and Vista on the same computer? Maby thats why? Don't use IE explorer unless you really need to. It is one of the worst explorers in my opinion.
Hope this helps,

I think that if it's software-related, it could be a bug in the vista installation. I had a problem once (with XP, not Vista) where somehow there was a glitch in the install, and then my computer processor would run at 100% until it overheated or i shut it down manually. reinstalling worked, not repairing.Either that, or perhaps your power supply isn't rated high enough to provide the extra power the graphic card needs for Windows Aero.
