Sure am glad no-one called the guards!

This happens to me too, and I use the same method to unfreeze it, but I'm only running one client.

It freezes when I switch between the client window and other windows such as IRC or IE.

My current theory it that it's "multiple monitors" causing it. It happens on both my primary PC's, one has two monitors, and the other 4. Oh, and Windows7 on both.
Well, this is happening to me very frequently now. I've been trying to open my house door for an alt on another account for about 15 mins but each time I switch between accounts UO stops responding. I don't use multiple monitors however.

Get a friend or family member who is "good with computers" to help you with this.

With direction from Derrick in IRC just now, I can confirm that running the client and Razor (maybe not needed for Razor) in Windows XP compatibility mode fixes this issue.
