Explorer and built in apps freeze when I type

You can try it by running the Windows installer, open in Computer, right click the Setup and run in compatibility mode for Vista SP2. You might need to uninstall SP1 and then use a non SP1 installer.

I've tried the compatibility mode, and that didn't work. But I'll try uninstalling SP1. Hopefully that works :D
