Hello KenricLow,

Try this to see if you can connect.
Boot to safe mode.

To access Safe Mode:
(a) restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
(b) select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.
(c) when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.

Of in safe mode, type msconfig in the start in the start menu search box and press return. Then on the Startup tab, uncheck the box any reference to the verisign/authentec software. Then, go to the services tab, sort the columns by manufacturer, then uncheck all references to Verisign. Then click ok and restart in normal mode.

If please reply back and let us know if that helped to turn out to get rid of your error message.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

    my computer keeps stopping and restarting itself.

    Hello

    IE was running is very important to the solution to the issue - check below.

    -----------------------------------

    BEX errors often are caused by toolbars such as Google, TrendMicro and others. You use one
    3rd toolbars in IE? Cause and solution is the same for Vista and Windows 7.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
    on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave remnants behind which emits causes).

    Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore advanced settings, and then click RESET - APPLY / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on Reset all areas - APPLY / OK

    Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

    Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if she's here, it is no longer necessary but Java still
    installs and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again). Look for other
    possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right.
    Allowed are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program, ask
    topic here.

    Could be that a BHO - SpyBHOremover - free - program of autonomous, needs no installation, download, unzip
    and run. Also not all the BHO is bad, that some managed bars of tools and features that you added.
    http://securityxploded.com/bhoremover.php

    Startup programs
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/79612-startup-programs-enable-disable.html

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you never think malware updated, then
    run as a scanner.
    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

    I hope this helps.

  • "Audio Windows has stopped working" and "host process for windows services stopped working.

    Hello. I recently had to reinstall windows vista on my computer. Everything works well except that I continue to have problems with the audio. When I play youtube videos or to make Skype calls, that the sound disappears and I get the message "Windows Audio has stopped working" immediately followed by the message "host process for windows services stopped working." I remember having this problem in the past, every time that I had to restore the operating system, but I don't remember what I did to remedy. I went to the history of my problem and it's certainly a problem with Windows Audio. What can I do?

  • Receive the error "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed" after the video card replaced

    I have a HP computer with Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) Service Pack 2.  He has a VISX PureTV tuner card and already had an NVidia GeForce 8400 graphics card.  This Setup has worked well for 2.5 years until what the graphics card died last week.  It has been replaced with an ATI Radeon HD3450 and both all Windows updates have made current.  Since that time, the TV tuner did not work.

    When you sign in to an account, it gives the error message "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed".  I can use Media Center to watch the recorded video before, but if I try to watch live TV he hangs up and close Media Center.  If I try to configure the TV connection in Media Center it tells me that there is no tuner card.

    I looked at the map and see no problem and I tried it back in place.  He has the most up to date drivers (so does the new Radeon graphics btw).  I tried "Uninstall" in the Manager of devices and then put it back, but it was not good.

    "Windows Media Center Receiver Service Stopped Working and was closed" I tried all the fixes I've seen this error.

    I tried all the things I saw here and elsewhere related to this issue.  I did a "clean boot" with all non-Windows services and the disabled startup process.  He always did the same thing and gave the same mistakes.  It seems to be linked to a Windows service, and I hesitate to begin deactivation to track down.

    I ran 'sfc' in mode 'cmd' and he found no problem and none of the files to be fixed or could not fix.

    In the list of services, I changed the login for "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" to "Local System account", Local Service, Network Service and individual accounts, but no permits.

    I'm afraid I'm at the point of having to reload the Vista, but I don't know how to do this and want to avoid at all costs.  I don't have the recovery disks and software.  Is this enough?  Can I reinstall from the recovery disks without wiping everything aft of the configuratiion with which it was delivered?  I guess personal files will be OK (although I don't know this for sure), but I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall other applications, my family has developed over time and perhaps lose the media protected by DRM licenses.

    Someone has encountered anything like this or have any suggestions?

    Well, I finally stumbled into the solution.  It was caused by a conflict with another application.

    A few weeks before the card failure I had installed a program called video capture Replay Video Capture that I had bought a few months ago and never used.  However, at this time where everything including the TV tuner and Media Center worked well that's why I associate the problem with this software.  The problem comes after the system is rebooted the first time after installation.  In my case, it has not been rebooted until a few weeks later as part of the recovery of the fault of the graphics card.  Suddenly, the TV tuner did not work and I get the error messages mentioned in this title of the thread.

    I was at the end of my rope with this and was just to clean your system to do a reformat and reinstallation.  I uninstalled the Replay Videa Capture program to move it to another computer, and when you restart the computer I noticed that the error message disappeared.  Of course I went to the Media Center and could set up my TV tuner card and watch television.

    Looking for some info on this conflict, I found the following. (http://forum.applian.com//showthread.php?847-Conflicts-between-RVC-and-XP-Media-Center-OS&s=c0aec9897b51d550c47b919e73e59bfc)  It is difficult to say who is at fault in the present.  I'm sure that Microsoft accuses Applian for the encoder to mpeg (mcm2ve.ax) used in Replay Video Capture, while Applian says that the problem is a Windows process (ehrec.exe) that works all the time, hogging the tuner on the system device.  According to Applian other products similar to theirs have this conflict as well due to the process of Windows.

    Fortunately, there is a solution in this case.  Applian has released a new version of Replay Video Capture (version 4.2) that uses a different mpeg encoder and eliminates the problem.  Given the surprising lack of info about it on the Microsoft Web site, I wonder how many other people with this unresolved issue dealing with the same thing as me.  If you're like me and you don't usually need to reboot your PC for a few weeks at a time, you may never know to associate the problem with the application.  What a waste countless hours trying to diagnose, and most disconcerting, that's what I was about to go through a reformat and reinstall because of this.

    Thought I'd post here my problem resolution in the hope that it might help someone else.

  • "Windows Media Center Receiver service stopped working and was closed" - Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

    Several times, I get the error message "Receiver Service Windows Media Center has stopped working and was closed".  Windows then search a problem and suggests that I run the update.  I run the automatic update and am completely up to date.

    Any ideas of what could be the cause?

    Thank you

    Then, I found my problem.  I have installed the Tivo Desktop Plus.  The codecs it uses to convert to different formats somehow in conflict.  So, I had to rename some of the files and he immediately recognized my Tuner card and Media Center is back to life.

  • After 5 minutes, I get a message "Windows host process for Services stopped working and was closed"

    I get this message on my Vista Home Premium SP2 system.  I installed SP2, last week when it first came out and this message began today after the reboot.  I rebooted 5 times and I still get this message after 5 or 6 minutes.  I did the reboot after the installation of Microsoft Patch KB911895.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Use his computer to boot. Disable all third party applications start to rule out the possibility to be a software problem.

    Go to google.com and search for Autoruns. Download and install the tool and disable all third-party software. Reboot the machine and see if you still receive the error.
