I hate you Task Manager

I hate you task manager, windows xp. You're suppose to stop the actions I tell you to, accessed by the magical cltr, alt, del, but instead you yourself Freeze up, not responding, rendering EVERYthing useless!! Nice back up plan PC, looks like you're competitor MAC is looking better and better.

Thanks for nothing stupid, newly fixed, completely restored computer that should work quickly and flawlessly as a useful tool. Instead i sit here staring at the frozen page and the spinning planet wondering how long I'll have to spin on this planet to load 1 picture!!! (i have a cosmos theme, so it's not a globe, a hand or a leaf.)

I'm still just burning photos from DVD to my computer and this crap is happening. The editing process is going to be a lot longer than i had originally thought, go figure.
