So, okay, I've got a question, how can I find out, if somebody hack into my system, or is using my system... or something else. Why I ask is, b/c my computer is a little weird lately. Sometimes I have problems with my booting script, then my license from windows is not okay, so I can't update stuff from windows. Then my Quicktime player license has now decided to not be legal. So, what the heck is going on? Or is it just VISTA? Should I install XP???

You may not have a hacker, windows Vista still has not gotten all of its glitches fixed yet. If you don't have any general maintenance programs other than the software that comes with windows is suggest you get one. They help a lot in fixing problems

I've actually had the same problems with vista. Could be a virus or spyware, every time I run into these problems I just do a clean install of vista. Only way I know of finding out if you have been hacked is through your firewall - some of the better ones log every event coming and going. Inbound and Out Bound you could try looking in firewall logs and see if there is a suspicious IP address.
As for whether or not to just go back to XP, I've been contemplating that myself but I'm reluctant to do so - but it's really your call to make you can go back until the first service pack comes out there's supposed to be a ton of security updates in it.
