If your just using the applications tab then thats your problem. I have had that issue before... you need to go into the process tab and end it there. If you already did that then its pretty jacked.

I would also recommend you go ahead and format to windows 7 (free until next march-june) because i used vista for over a year and am now using windows 7 and it is much better performance wise.
