Dialog box in Windows XP is slow to come to the top

Problem:

Whenever I try to shut down the computer after a few minutes of use, the stop dialog box happens immediately, however, when you do a shutdown or reboot or anything using the dialog box after a few hours, the area takes a few minutes to come. Closing is fine, only the dialog box is slow in coming. I ran all sorts of controls on this computer, there was no virus. I looked at another post saying that there could be a problem with the installed graphics card, but it was only for a similar problem and not for this one. He is a professional PC. Any help appreciated.

Hi Timothy l.,

(1) did you the latest changes on the computer?

(2) when was the last time it was working fine?

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP 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.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • Windows 7 running slow at startup to the top

    I had problems with Win 7 Starter & slugglishly running in general in recent weeks. I did a clean installation a few months ago & everything was OK but now I notice a lag in just about everything, even small things such as opening a new tab in IE seem to cause a delay that did not previously exist.

    IM compares to my machine Win7 I use at work that runs a lot faster (C2D 2.8 ghz, 2 GB ram) which is in contrast to my home pc which is a quad core with 2 GB & a lot less open applications (I'm at work now with MANY open apps & still run faster than my PC with no apps open all the House!)

    Time opening IE8 reboot & loading the homepage is apprx 3.5 minutes (slower even than my old Vista laptop). Ive done all the cleaning I can use C Cleaner, emptied the trash, removed rarely used applications etc.. Everything which is still connected is my printer, the KB & mouse, also ran MSConfig & make all the necessary changes so that he can run faster, but none of this has made ALL the difference - outside to do a fresh install of W7 I don't know what I can do.

    Also tried starting in Firefox or Chrome instead of IE8 but its still just as slow (is also used with compensation history of IE8, cookies, etc.). Even things like Win explore & Control Panel are slow at any time, as is the search engine that is supposed to be indexed but still chuggs along for more than a few seconds (once again my work PC is very fast in this regard with a lot more files potentially be examined). Office 2010 also takes about 20-30 seconds to open Word or Excel, once again my work PC starts immediately...

    Another aspect of stress that has never caused problems in the past, my main drive (160 GB) is partitioned into 2 sections (50 / 50 split apprx)-many spare parts on the 'C' drive and even again on the data section. I also have a secondary internal HDD 320 for data only, both drives are 7200 RPM - is there something here that is causing a problem with Win7 that never affected XP?

    HARD drives are all defragged using Diskeeper in game & forget mode - all showing healthy

    Can someone suggest a remedy for my sick PC?

    Norton is known to cause slow downs and other issues. Uninstall and then running
    the Norton Removal Tool to stop the remains (even those will interrupt the strange) to load.
    Use the recommendations below when testing, even better would be permanently.

    =================================

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • I updated adobe and now windows vista will not come to the top!

    I was doing something that requires adobe 9 or higher, so I updated to 10. Now my main screen will not come to the top. I can't do all the suggestions for troubleshooting because I can't get to my computer at all.  I validated and it says windows Pascal more send activationsetc. and I can't update because I can't.

    Try to start in safe mode (press F8 immediately and repeatedly after Power Up Self Test and before Windows starts) and uninstall Adobe Reader X.  Then try to restart normally.

  • Related workflow in the dialog box / popup window and Session Timeout

    Hi team.

    Using JDeveloper 11.1.2.4.

    We have several use cases that have linked the workflow shown in dialogues.  Dialogues are defined in the workflow.  The dialogues show very well related workflows.  However, if we have a session timeout, we are witnessing the login page that appears inside the window of dialogue instead of the home page.  Any suggestions out there?

    I have the text on a command button, invoking the action of dialogue BTF.

    useWindow = "true" windowModalityType = "applicationModal.

    Thank you

    BradW

    Hello.  Digging into the issue, we had a requirement to force the user to the logon page when the session expires.  However, the Service of Dialogue rich ADF fires and wants to ask us if we want to save the changes or continue leaving the popup.  To work around this problem, we made a JS call, follow these steps:

    AdfAgent.AGENT.removeBubbleEventListener(AdfPage.PAGE.getDomWindow(),"beforeunload", AdfDhtmlRichDialogService._beforeUnloadHandler);
    

    So, in summary, we had created a PagePhaseListener to inject some JS in every page to make a timer based client-side redirect.  However, the Service of RichDialogue ADF complain if there are changes in the pop-up window.  To work around this problem, the timer called the removeBubbleEventListener.

    It works, I think it might be a bit fragile between versions.

  • No dialog box edit in Photoshop with LR and PS are the use of ACR

    I am looking for more information without success "full"... The answer closest to you what I was looking for was found in this quote, but, as in the quotation even he ask to open a new threat do not interfere with issues.

    I just started having the same problem. When I edit a photo in Ps from Lr. The dialog box is not started, and if I edited in LR it takes adjustments and opens to the PS. I have Lr cc v2015.5.1 camera raw 9.5.1. I have reset all warning dialog boxes. Weird. I suspect that there is a bug. Any ideas?

    Please start your own thread. Since you have LR CC 2015.5.1 you also PS CC 2015.1.2.

    What you see is normal. When you select Edit in Photoshop LR and PS use the same version of ACR so no dialog is necessary. Your RAW image opens in PS with all the LR settings included as a type of RAW file waiting to be saved as all that you have selected the type of file in External Editor preferences of LR, PSD or TIF section. The only time you get this dialog window is if ACR versions do not match. LR uses a version more recent ACR uses the PS version you have installed.

    Ok!! I get it but is there a way to get LR to me for anyway? Sometimes I like to play in LR to get an idea of the final image, but I'd still love to be able to edit in PS 0 and compare results once in LR. I get bored just this box!

    You can get this dialog for non-premieres images. With raw images if you have the same version of ACR and LR it will always open directly.

    If you want to edit from scratch, simply create a virtual copy and reset its development. Then open in Photoshop. Note that the changes in Lightroom are exactly the same as what you get in the cab.

  • Dialog box options Type does not allow me to resize the text box, please help!

    Hello - I use the latest version of Adobe Illustrator CC on Windows 7. I need to make a text box with columns to 32.875 w x 20 h. I use the text tool, draw the box at that size and then open the "type area options" dialog box to specify the column number, gutter width etc. and it automatically resizes the text to 13.888 box w x 13,889 h without fault. I try to type the right width and height in the appropriate space and I hear the windows "error". When I click on 'Preview' show me the box of text resized to 13.888x13.999 so I don't see what I'm doing. It's infuriating, please, someone else had this problem?

    I checked the window of 'transformation' - and the 'blocking' to constrain the proportion of width and height is "unlocked."

    I has a limit to the width of the columns that you have found. For the size that you want, you will need to do it manually.

  • dialog box of LabVIEW poping not upward when you use the test bench

    Hello

    When you run a sequence of test, test calls to the top a labview VI which took there properties defined in a dialog box, and although it is not his position, he sometimes appears behind the screen before test (if minimize you the test screen, you can see the box). If I close all the programs National instruments then re-run the test sequence dialog box will appear before the screen test, but this only seems to happen once.

    Can someone help with this problem?

    Thank you

    Chris

    It seems that you do not use the functions of start modal dialog/end modal dialog located on the TestStand palette. Add them to the end very beginner and even your VI and it should work as you want.
