Buy a full retail version with a legitimate Product Key, perform a clean install, and you shouldn't encounter that issue anymore.
I would also advise you to have a thorough read of the following site and implement their Advisor: -
Get Windows Vista: Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor
I have Vista Ultimate SP1 running as a dual-boot alongside XP SP3 and am experiencing no troubles whatsoever.
Furthermore, if you are referring to Vista SP2 Pre-Beta, then you would only install Pre-Beta, Beta, et al, on a test box, most certainly not your main rig. No wonder you are experiencing problems.
I wouldn't mind betting that your system is hosed with infections, trojans, etcetera, as pirated versions of M$ OS's are notorious for containing malware.
