I run vista ultimate x64 too; but I haven't seen that behavior with winamp (the only one of those programs you list that I also use).
Have you tried setting the compatibility mode on the executable? Regards, Michael B.

The thing is, with specific programs, when I close them - Vista thinks they have crashed. The applications have otherwise closed properly, but Vista doesn't think so - and activates its Problem Reports and Solutions tool. This frequently happens when closing applications such as WinAmp, Firefox, Trillian, as well as various Games that are installed via Steam (the error is centralized to Steam itself, and not the various game I may have been playing (could be Team Fotress 2, Left 4 Dead, Peggle Deluxe, Bioshock, Portal). I haven't had much luck resolving this, and its taken a secondary priority because nothing actually seems to be wrong. Has anyone else experienced this behavior? -- ME2 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
