Computer slows down, Songbird doesn't load
When I try to load Songbird, my vista system comes to a screeching halt. Trying to load any other program even the task manager takes forever after clicking the SongBird icon, which never ends up loading before I have to restart my computer. Everything was working fine until 2 days ago. Tried reinstalling....same problem.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Give a little info about your system specification i.e. RamGb, 32 or 64 bit Vista, CPU type, also is your music stored on C: User Music Folder or on a separate Drive?
Did songbird import the iTunes Library or Scan the Music folder.
Is Vista indexing on or off? Since it was working before, do you recall what Add-On/s you have installed since then? -
Inappropriate?2GB ram, 32-bit Vista sp1, intel core 2 duo e6550 2.33ghz
Music is stored in c/users/myself/music
Songbird scans the music folder. No import from Itunes. I don't even have itunes installed.
Vista indexing is turned on and I haven't installed any add-ons as of yet. And the same problem occurs if I try to run Songbird in safe-mode.

Inappropriate?Trying to reproduce your problem. My Paging file is 'on'
Things to try, ignore quotes and brackets
Make new text file on desktop rename to 'Songbird.cmd' need extensions 'not hidden' to change extension.
Right click new file click [Edit] and paste in following
Start /abovenormal /B "1" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Songbird\Songbird.exe"
close [save changes] presuming Songbird in default folder.
Run file to start Songbird at 'above normal' priority
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Songbird -right click Songbird.exe select [Compatibility] tab and tick
'Run this program as an administrator'
and/or
'Run this program in compatibility mode for' [Windows XP (Service Pack 2)]
Is your C:\ Drive getting full? Try moving your Music files to a separate Drive if it is.
I’m hopful

Inappropriate?C Drive is only a quarter full.
Running the program at higher priority and in admin mode as well as following the other directions didn't change anything. Still doesn't load up. Basically freezes the comp.
I’m confused
-
Inappropriate?Getting the feeling SongBird is quite Linux centric, don't appear many users on Windows Vista. Sorry I couldn't help, tried to make my comp react the same but no joy.
Good luck anyway in finding the cause. Maybe in the Events Log you may find something listed giving some clue..
