Explorer Windows and Logon Screen saver

I am a user of Vista Home Basic.

Windows Explorer does not appear to run correctly in my laptop. Whenever I open my computer, or anything else, I have to wait for more than 10 minutes to access the file.
In addition, once the file opens and I try to open another auxiliary file, it does not respond even after 15 minutes. Finally, I am made to end the explorer.exe process and restart it again.
And sometimes, when my laptop is idle for more than an hour, it shows a blank grey screen with only the taskbar at the bottom and nothing else. Help, please.

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
(Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
manually if you wish.

  • Windows XP logon screen does not appear

    Laptop of my colleague was recently hit by the tdss rootkit malware.  I think I could clean out of his system.  When trying to load the computer out of safe mode, the Windows XP splash screen appears, he will then travel to the blue screen (BSOD no), the pointer of the mouse will appear, but the login screen won't come.  How can I get this problem so that the computer can be used again without having to do a low-level format?

    I've used the Windows Recovery Console to extract a new copy of the kernel32.dll file, but the problem remains.

    Hey

    I wish your problem which was simple. return to safe mode and go to control panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer on and click on system. Now you should be able to see all kinds of errors publish and republish when replying again so that can see your problem.

    It sounds like your windows for some reason any download some drivers painful, which is why the long delay for your account download. You may also check your registry too. I wouldn't you recommended changes before saving your date and knowing your way around.

    On the command prompt type: housing (MRT.exe) If you missed to clean malware, let him scan window clean from any virus remains. Parderogationauxarticles how to clean tdss rootkit and with what?

    When windows has finished the Scan, Type Run: (msconfig.exe), the utility configuration system to select diagnostic startup or selective startup which means choose what system services or start to download when windows restarts starts. I recommend for you to disable all non-microsoft services and all the commissioning.

    Restart the computer, you should be able to access normal account.

    It's not over I have difficulty but only first step setting... good luck.

    P.S if tool (MRT) does not work it means that your friend didn't update its windows xp.

  • Explorer Windows and Windows Live Mail does not.

    If I try to create a new folder, Windows Explorer stops responding. In other words, when I create a new folder and name it, after farm the naming dialog box, Windows Explorer stops to answer and the name of the folder has not changed (it is still new folder). If I use the task manager at the end of the Windows Explorer, to the revival, the new directory name. A second problem is that Widows Live Mail has also become insensitive, since its launch. I went back to two restore points, but no help. This happened when I tried to download an update of map on Garmin website (may be a coincidence). Delete all files takes a long time. For awhile, the dialog box indicating that the substance was sent to the trash was insensitive, but I have not seen that for a day or two. With assistance from a restore point will not work in normal windows, but it seemed to work in Mode without failure.

    What really was the problem:

    Mick,

    Because you offered advice so quickly, I tried you can see how I solved my problem. I did all that you suggested, but nothing helped. However:

    I've done some thinking on this windows live mail and the creation of a new directory have in common. The answer I came up with that was indexing. I tried to change the "indexing options" but this dialogue has also been insensitive. So I went to administration-> Services tools and attempted to stop "looking for a window. It would not stop. I disabled it and its entries to try again and restarted. I have Windows Explorer back and will then attempt my email.

    OK, this has solved the symptom, but does not solve the problem (I don't have work indexing).

    Thanks for your help,

    Hello

    Functions of the screen saver and sleep depend on the computer to detect an idle state. An idle state is reached when the computer detects no activity on the system. Once reached the idle state, it must maintain a State of rest for the period that you define in the element.

    If you have any device connected to the system that periodically checks for a specific action, this device can cause the system to achieve or maintain an idle state.

    Some devices, such as a device of VOIP phone that checks for incoming phone calls is an example. If you have a MagicJack or any other similar device, try to remove them and check if this solves the problem.

    Another culprit is an e-mail or instant messaging program that periodically checks for new messages.

    Tell us what you find.

  • Help/Explorer Windows and support issues

    Since a week ago whenever I try to open Windows Explorer to view the files and documents in my document folders, windows Explorer closes itself.
    At first, it all started when I tried to open the images and videos, that I saved on a new 500 GB extended hard drive that I bought last week. I thought it was because the hard disk volume was important that's why.

    But now, it's the same thing with my document folders and my help and Support does not work anymore.
    When I click on help and Support in my Start Menu, it does nothing,
    And every time I tried like two or three times to open the folders on my computer turns off just by itself.
    I downloaded the Microsoft Fix, but he says that everything is fine with my system, but it still the same.

    My computer is a Toshiba Satellite P300D supplied with Windows Vista Home Premium installed.
    I am running Service Pack 2
    Processor: AMD Turion) 64 x 2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz
    (RAM Ram): 3.00 GB
    System type: 32-bit operating system

    Someone please help I lose documents whenever this happens.

    Thank you

    > Another thing is my computer keep stopping now itself.
    > It's like it was over heating because when these impact happens my computer feeling a little hot...

    It could be an overheating problem. The laptop supports thermal protection that would have turned off the phone automatically if the temperature rose to a critical level.
    This may happen if the internal cooling modules n t work properly.

    Especially the dust and debris inside the cooling fans are the reason for this.
    I clean my vents at any time using the jet of compressed air. It is useful to remove most dust and the guard helping clean the fans.

    I think you should clean the cooling fans too much in order to remove dust.
