Post subject: System crashes on non-admin account Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>performance_maintenance (more info?)
I run Vista Ultimate 64 on my "gaming" PC. Recently, I made a new
(non-admin) account to use day-to-day. When I play games (notably, World of
Warcraft, Age of Conan), I occasionally get system freezes. These freezes
are unrecoverable and require a hard reboot. Often I can tell when it's

cursor glitch is always followed by the system freeze. Typically, when the
system freezes, the colors of the pixels on the last image on the screen are
different than normal.
These freezes are extremely frustrating! I have noticed, oddly, that they
seldom, if ever, occur when I use the administrator account instead of the
user account. My system specs are as follows:
