Sounds like it had a bout of Valetors syndrome.  ie water in the electrics,the only problem is there is a chance of corrosion on the terminals,but that wont show straight away.

Hi ya, I bet as its your spare they didnt clean the bead.
What I sugest is you get an idependent tyre company to strip the tyre off and wire brush the bead or seat of the rim. To loose 10psi says you have several leak points

I bet your virtual memory is running out because of all the programs you have added, so shut them down and delete the short cut's from the desk top.and then try to defrag the machine. vista is so very memory hungry you could add extra RAM
