My SL sticks on VFS even though I cleaned the cache manually. I updated my Windows to 7 ultimate.

I have done a clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate on my machine, than tried to download SL. It was sticking at initializing VFS. I tried manually clearing the cache. And made sure I rebooted before try to start SL again. I have downloaded the latest drivers from ATI. I then updated to Windows 7 Ultimate. The same thing Keeps happening. I then tried Phoenix viewer, a third party one. It still locks up my computer at the same point. I would appreciate any help anyone can offer. I want my SL back. :P

Yes, it's that kind of locked up. The only thing that is still running is the hard drive is still doing something. As you said, I can't move the cursor, and can't enter task manager. I have no control over my machine aside from pushing the reset button. However, I haven't waited thirty minutes. I haven't waited more than 10 actually.

I read your post in it's entirety. I don't have a solution to offer that I can guarantee will be the answer. I can offer a suggestion, try to wait as long as possible for the Intializing VFS to complete (30 minutes). When you say the machine "locks up"; what is your computer doing or not doing for you to determine that it is locked up?

When I declare that my pc locked up, I mean that my mouse cursor won't show, I cannot open my task manager or any other program, pressing an holding the power button is the only way to shut the machine down. That kind of "locked up"?
