Definition
Windows Vista is the latest version of the Windows operating system available for PCs. It was released in January 2007 and its primary objective is to improve security in the Windows OS. It has been received with mixed reviews—its new features and improved security have been cheered, while it has been criticized for a multitude of other reasons.
Business applications
Vista provides numerous deployment and maintenance technologies including WIM (Windows Imaging Format), Windows Deployment Services, 700 new Group Policy settings, and a multilingual user interface. The Windows Vista OS also offers a Business upgrade that provides a variety of tools and features for small businesses.
Controversies
Early after its release, Vista was clobbered with numerous criticisms and complaints. Issues such as large system resource requirements, restrictive licensing agreements, and problems with the User Account Control (UAC) have dogged the OS since its release and continue to make users—and businesses—wonder whether its worth the price of an upgrade.
Technical details
There are six editions of Windows Vista; Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, and Windows Vista Ultimate. Vista capable computers are required to have at least an 800 MHz processor, 512 MB of memory, DirectX 9.0 capable graphics card, 32 MB graphics memory, and 20 GB HDD capacity. However, to fully utilize some of the special options and high-end graphics features, it is recommended that your system have 1 GHz processor, 1 GB memory, DirectX 9.0 and WDDM 1.0 driver support, 512 MB graphics memory, and 40 GB HDD capacity.

Sounds familiar.... dude ...a program must have been uninstalled incorrectly. If u know which application it was..try installing it again. then,perform the uninstallation thru the Windows Control panel's "Add / Remove" program.
If unsuccessful,try this...
dude if u r using vista:
click on start, programs, administrative tools, system configuration.
**WARNING**
DUDE this program controls the way your PC boots. so, messing with it without any knowledge could cause other programs or protocols to work abnormally.
goodluck!
