Vista installation has frozen my laptop

Successfully installed/validated Vista Premium on brand new Sony viao laptop
and all working well. I can open the desktop and the cursor is free to roam
but I cant access any programs. Get message "file system error (-1073741502)
or left clicking on it doesnt do anything, nor does right clicking on "open"
