Stupid Vista

So I searched high and low for a solution to my problem of sudden shutdowns. And I have found that a clean boot (no puns please) helps.

If you're using Vista (you can probably do it for XP too if you find Fiesta laggy) go search msconfig.

In the General tab go to Selective Startup and deselect "Load startup items"

Go to the Services tab and check "Hide all Microsoft services" then disable the rest. If you know which ones are your anti-virus program then you might want to just select that if you so wish. Then just click OK and restart your computer.

After all that I can actually alt-tab out of Fiesta soooo smoothly it was just crazy. No lag, no nothing. Thought I'd share.
