  • Windows stops working, but the computer remains on

    Since I've upgraded Windows 7 Vista Home Premium, my computer did this weird thing where the system stops completely, but the computer continues to operate.

    The screen goes black w/backlight, the power led lights up, and no keys will result in no change. ESC, ctrl + alt + delete, entry, all keys by sliding through the keyboard, nothing.

    I have to hold the power button to turn off.

    There's no real consistency on what programs I am running when this happens.

    I ran a few laps with no improvement.

    It happens not every day.

    Question did not begin until AFTER the upgrade

    Compatibility test of Windows 7 past on all brands before installing

    I considered the life of the battery and, once again, no consistency there.

    I downloaded all updates and kept the customization to the point where I put only reliable programs and without attempting anything weird (like the installation and execution of programs from one partition or dual-boot)

    Any ideas?

    It's just a thought! It would not be something to do with the software or operating system. I have had a few clients with this problem.

  • Flash Player stops working when the computer is restarted. Why? It is always enabled.

    Why is Flash Player stops after restarting the computer to work? I have download Flash Player several times a day. Norton is the cause? When I re - download, I get a message that I have not sufficient user privileges, but it solves the problem, anyway!

    Unlocker is my go - to for fixing the files in this State.  It is probably easier to do it manually: Unlocker - free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com

    That said, the permissions being stripped on files is a symptom, not a cause.  You might get away with the lock and blowing these files and things will work normally after that.

    The point I want to drive home, it is that it would be smart to take advantage of the opportunity to save something essential.  You could just as easily be the first signs of catastrophic disk failure.  Having lost my share of data that has not been backed up, I always count these early warnings as gifts and take seriously at this point.  There are many good solutions free/good market online (especially if you don't have a lot of data that you really care), as well as traditional approaches to removable disk.

  • DVD player stopped working after the installation of 12 items

    First, I loaded the disc DVD in the drive and tried several times to install 12 elements.  Whenever the program has been installed the computer would start flashing and the dvd drive may stop working. Every time I had to use a PIN to eject the DVD because it would not eject.  It worked well before its installation to 12 items. After that the program was finally installed dvd player worked.  But the program would be closed when you use it too often.  I finally just deleted the program of 12 items on my computer and install it on another system.  It's been a while since the abolition of the program from my computer. Tonight, I reinstalled the program Adobe 12 elements with the dvd drive works fine.  Trying to install the program, all loaded fine.  Then once more, the dvd drive eject nor does any work.  What happened several times with 12 elements of loading on my computer.  It is a real pain.  Now the DVD drive doesn't work, or eject.  Can someone help me out here?  It sucks. The other computer works fine.  It is a HP Pavilion, Windows 7 Home Premium system.

    Computer was off all night. Turned on this morning and the system works now.  I rebooted the system, at least six times last night with no result. I don't know what was different this morning, but everything seems to work.  So if it's not broken I will not try to fix it.  Thanks for posting. Dan

  • Fallout 3 stops working after the computer wakes from sleep

    Since the games for Windows Live 3 is out, Fallout 3 has never been the same. He used to work at best my GfWL and now her nightmare. Recently, after that I quit the game and put my computer to sleep, Fallout 3 will stop working completely after wake up. I try to start it and I get them all is a cursor with a small blue rotating light. What is even more strange, is that my computer goes into a State of semi who no longer meet this point where programs and keyboard shortcuts no longer work, but I can browse my hard drive. I try control + SHIFT + ESC to see what the devil but that causes Windows Explorer to stop working. CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work either. No matter what I try, once I start Fallout 3 after the computer wakes from sleep, I can't do the task to the top manager and I can't use my computer. The only way to get it is to hit the reset button or turn off manually. Can someone please help to get rid of this problem?

    Hi murphy449,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. the problem only happens when you start fallout 3 after the sleep mode?

    3. are you able to wake the computer quits successfully sleep mode?

    4. What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you manually download and install the latest drivers for display on the computer card and check if it works.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that you try the clean boot procedure to check whether a third-party program installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • My computer keeps showing random parts "suddenly stop working" and the computer needs to reboot - I think it's a virus.

    I have a problem when occasionally and randomly my computer components apparently all of a sudden "stop working and must close ' which translates into my computer restart itself. This happens a lot, but I can not associate with any particular issue, as it changes each time. I think it's a virus, but nothing seems to be wrong, it's just the inconvenience. I had the computer more than a year and nothing wrong with it. The only other common thing is a program called "twonkymedia" seems to be on my pc and "must be closed", but I can't find anywhere to remove it.

    It's driving me crazy now, as can happen at any time during the game, work or other passtimes of the computer.

  • Keyboard stops working when the computer is idle

    I have an ASUS desktop and windows 7.  When the computer is idle for a few minutes, the keyboard farm operation.  The mouse works fine.  Tried a new keyboard and no solution.  Tried a different USB port and the same thing.  If I restart my computer, it works fine until it is idle for a few minutes and then stops again.  Really frustrating.  any ideas?

    Original title: keyboard closed unexpectedly

    Hi Majohnson,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. This is not the exact model. your ASUS computer?
    2. The issue has started happening recently? If so, did you do the computer-specific changes before this problem?

    The question could arise is there some problem of corruption of pilot partners or a third party service interferes with the function of the normal keyboard. In order to diagnose and resolve the issue, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Try to start the system in safe mode and check if the number is reproduced. If this isn't the case, then clean the computer starts and check if that helps.

    Step 1:

    Safe mode is a diagnostic mode in which you are connected with only the minimal necessary services and active pilots. Check if the number is reproduced.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2:

    Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.
    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    If you have any security software installed on your computer, try to temporarily disable the security software and check if the key words work properly. Subsequent update of the security after a repair software.

    Disable the anti-virus software

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    See method 3 for additional assistance on the issue.

    Method 3:

    Uninstall and reinstall the drivers USB controllers. Use Device Manager to uninstall and reinstall all USB controllers. This allows controllers to recover the port USB of his condition does not respond. USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager.

    1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
    5. Plug in the keyboard and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

    Your computer comes pre-installed with Windows 8. You can extract the product key on the basis of good records, but it will not help you add functionality to your edition of Windows. To add features (Windows 8 Pro Pack or Media Center Pack) to your existing windows, you must purchase a product key that is completely different from your product key of Windows 8.
