• Vista displays the message "not responding".

  When I click to open programs, the program does not open and a message "not responding" appears next to the title of the program at the top of the screen. The entire screen turns off and when I try to close the program a box pops up that gives the options for "Wait for the program to answer" or "close program". When I select 'close program' a message saying "windows is looking for a response" but no answer is found and the system hangs and I can't 'restart', so I have to close the pc using the power button and open again.
  This problem occurs with any program and randomly. Some of the programmes concerned are Internet Explorer, windows Explorer, windows, windows snip tool, roxio creator 2009 and other photo gallery. It seems to happen with any program being launched and programs that have successfully launched previously.
  I searched the various help pages without success.

• Message "Not responding" when recording in CS5

  Today, it is the first time that I had the chance to get out my new illustrator CS5 for a drive and have found that the more often than otherwise, when I save the file, I'm working on I get the error message "Not responding" appear. My system is a brand new Dell quad core, Q955-@ 2.83GHz with 8 GB RAM running Win7 64 bit.

  The files that I use are located on a network drive, and I wonder if this may be the problem. If I let it go for a minute or two that he corrected himself, but I find it a bit odd, given the software and materials, that I am running.

  No idea where to start?

  Given that disconnect him persistent mapped network drive, my problem went away. So far so good.

  To clarify my question, I saw intermittently a message "Not responding" in the title bar of Adobe Illustrator CS5 when you try to save a drawing. By clicking on file/save would immediately show a wait cursor (blue circle in Windows 7) and the Save dialog box does not appear.

  Although the error "not responding" appears, my PC does not seem to be busy doing anything (no use of the CPU for the executable to HAVE it in the Task Manager).

  After some searching on Google for hung in Windows 7 when recording applications, I came across the following Microsoft link:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/313937

  According to Microsoft, Windows 7, when you save, first checks the availability of network resources (persistent mapped drives liked). Applications like MS Office may crash when you try to save if these network resources are not available. Windows 7 seems to also not 'hear' well with older versions of Windows (such as Windows 2000 for example). The guillotine registration number can also be caused by a slow network connection to network resources.

  In my case, I had:

  1 - a slow link between the guillotine Windows 7 PC and a persistent (ie - reconnects when connecting) mapped network drive.

  2 - the network drive is also hosted on a Windows 2000 Server (Windows 7 is not always play nice with Win2K)

  After disabling the group policy that this drive mapped to the login time, my question GOT hooked disappeared. I can still reach the reader via a shortcut on the desktop of the PC Win7, and which seems to work very well. It is only when this resource has been "localized" as a shared drive that this become a problem for Windows 7.

  Anyone having this problem should also verify the possibility of losing your network connection to a shared resource (as the network adapter passes in mode "sleep" because energy saving options and thus break the connection to the network).

  Hope this helps others.

• I get messages "Not responding" constants and Thunderbird freezes. I did everything suggested on this forum. Nothing helps.

  I've done all that I can find in this forum - in safe mode, change the settings for McAfee, etc, etc, etc. I downloaded Thunderbird again and reinstalled. Nothing helps. I can look at an email but if I try to remove it I get the message "not responding". If I try to go to the next message I get the message "not responding". If I try to do something, while the screen is frozen, it goes gray and I get the message "not responding". Short of changing my email viewer, is there anyway I can fix it.

  @Jennis, what are posting you here to. Contact McAfee, it is not a question of Thunderbird.

• Flash slows down FF hangs with message "not responding".

  Shockwave flash is causing crashes giving the message 'firefox is not responding' and slows down my internet experience. I know it's the add-on flash because when I disable it, firefox works much better. I tried all the suggestions concerning problems of flash on this site and nothing worked. I am running win 7 64 bit (Home premium). In addition, Firefox 36.0.1. All the drivers seem to be aware, but I'll check.

  My question is... is it possible to easily disable/enable flash without going into the Add-ons Manager? According to what I'm doing, I'm in crashes and Add-ons for him Manager allow either when I need it or disable it when firefox is slow.

  I've gotten to the point where I just open add-on Manager in a tab and the leave it open because I know I'll probably be in there turn flash on or off depending on the way in which its make my machine.

  Also, I tried flash running in mode 'request to activate', but you must reload the page so that it can find the add-on.

  This problem has been ongoing for a few months now; Performance of Firefox was so much better, but this problem does not appear to be resolved. I love firefox, I really want to go to a different browser.

  Thank you

  Please ignore the above answer!

  One of the reasons frequent slow script errors are the feature of mode of the Flash player plugin. The Protected Mode feature has safety benefits, but there seem to be some compatibility issues on some systems. You can turn it off by creating or modifying a parameter file. The following/post pages which provide different approaches:

  • Adobe technical support under the heading of 'Last resort' article: Adobe Forums: how to fix protected Flash Player for Firefox mode?
  • Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
  • Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078 (alternative version of file batch of Carm with some modifications by me: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=f7d304d92388737d & id = F7D304D9238...)

  To download the Flash completely (closing and restarting Firefox could help) until it takes effect.

  Any improvement?

• Whenever something happens on Firefox, I get a Message "Not responding" for about 10-20 seconds.

  For the last two days, Firefox acting strangley. It is not plant and must be closed, it's just a lot of crashes Micro. Whenever I change a tab, refresh a page, click on anything, do anything, Firefox doesn't work for about 10 to 20 seconds, sometimes less, sometimes longer. When it happens, I get a message at the top saying (not responding) until it suits me later.

  I had been very happy with Firefox, but if this problem cannot be corrected, I'll be forced to find an alternative, I don't like the sound of. Any help would be appreciated...

  Hello Adam.

  You may have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, make sure that it's not one of your modules installed, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode , and then select disable all add-ons. If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins in the same way.

  If you want supported for one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

• Double click on the photo (my photo) causes PC freeze with message "not responding" (scheduled for the windows fax and picture viewer)

  "This program is not responding...". »

  I then have to click on the right upper window X two times to close the window. When it closes Finally, everything on the desktop disappears for about 3 seconds then reappears as if the PC restarted, but it does not actually restart.

  My images, the other day, all open without this feeze/final issue. I don't have these problems when you use Windows XP Paint, Jasc Paint Shop, or Quicktime to open images, once set by default...

  I used to always use Windows Picture and Fax Viewer with no such problems.

  I did your suggestion before posting here. I saw the same solution as your addition, the interpreter, but it does not solve the problem because I already had the shimgvw.dll etc. in their proper place and my photos/images were not always open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer the way I wanted them to open.

  Since I got my photos all open as I wanted (as before) this way to use Windows Picture and Fax viewer:

  Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types: I changed then each file/folder associated with 'images' to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. I determined this by reading the details for each extension / the item highlighted. If the referenced details 'images', I then clicked on change and choose Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to open the extension.

  I went through everything everyone who was not obvious that they are. I made a change: BMP, GIF, EMF, JFIF, JPE, JPEG, etc... I changed at least 12 (more than I thought it was).

  Immediately after changing all of these types of files, I rebooted and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer was still working the way I wanted to (as before).

• Windows Defender does not work. When I try to turn it on, I get the message "not responding".

  Original title: Windows Defender

  I have Windows Vista and my Windows Defender will activate/doesn't not work.  When I try to turn it on, it responds by saying: 'it is not responding' and stops automatically.  I tried to re - install & who did not work.  Any ideas.

  Hi lskdjfoie,
   
  What have you tried to reinstall? Windows Defender or other programs?
   
  I suggest the following steps and check.
   
  Step 1:
   
  Usually if you have a third-party security software installed, Windows Defender would not work. I would temporarily disable all security software and check if the problem persists.
   
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
   
  Note: 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.
   
  Step 2:
   
  If this does not help, I would say you scan SFC on your computer and check if Windows Defender works fine.
   
  Step 3:
   
  If none of the steps helps create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

• various websites is send me the message "not responding" and the system

  that is, try to get to www.powerball.com/powerball/pb_numbers.asp, I get "not responding", then the system hangs for a few minutes. My hard drive seems to be active, trying to do something, and then after a few minutes I can return but can never get on the site.  I had the same problems with some mails in hotmail but not others.

  I'm on a comcast dsl cable modem/router with the enclosed telephone service. I think I found my answer by checking my network connection. The system used a network connection to broadband instead of the connection to the local network. I disabled the broaband as the main connection connection.

  Please look in my problem, no response, I would not have studied on my own.

• FaceTime and Messages "not responding" MacBook Pro but works on iPhone Plus 6 and 3 Mini iPad

  In January, I sent a text message with a very large number of numbers through Messages on the Macbook Pro.  Since then, it will be not open without the reel spinning of Messages and FaceTime, the system fan going at top speed and the computer slows down considerably until I Force Quit or other software.  I have zero problems on the iPhone or iPad with either.

  I've already removed the library of Messages and attachments, and this seems to have actually exacerbated the problem.

  I did a complete reinstallation of the operating system (El Capitan), and it had zero effect.

  My guess is that these two very large text messages are the culprits, and I can't understand how to reset all messages.  I'm happy to delete all, if I can get somehow my Macbook to recognize what has happened.  Otherwise, I am at my wits end, trying to get these two applications to work again.  I'm quite the newbie, so please refer to measures as simply as possible.  (Btw - the texts were a legitimate response to a follow-up request, and I hoped just don't have to send them all individually in case of FAILURE)

  Thanks for any help you can offer, Apple!

• Flashing of the program windows with the message "not responding".

  I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise and have experienced a problem with the flashing/flickering program windows since the installation of the program. It tends to happen more, when some programs take up a lot of memory, be several excellent windows, photo editing with GIMP 2.0 program or several tab navigation in internet. The flicker can be short, but it arrived to keep it constantly. I don't know exactly, what induces it. It might have something to do with the mouse hovering over the taskbar, as the flickering tends to start when a new window will be selected. A form any of it also occurs when you type in a cell in MS Excel: I start to type in the window of a single program and finish the word in another.
  There are two options in the forums. One more course includes the passage off Windows Desktop Manager service. I tried and it seems to work. However, windows aero is off then.
  The other includes mingle with the registers in accordance with the following statement: http://www.webtlk.com/2009/06/02/how-to-fix-screen-flash-in-windows-7/. What I've avoided trying because the computer is not mine.

  So, what is the solution? This flickering is not only a cosmetic problem. In one occasion, he can freeze a program and a lot of time and also some work may be lost.

  Hi Lauri

  Sorry for the delay. :(

  You mentioned 1.5 GB of RAM, even if it is higher than the minimum requirement of 1 GB, it is weak to implement features like the Aero interface. Aero is very graphic intensive and can consume a lot of memory.

  16% of free RAM is an ambiguous number. Although you have 1.5 GB, you don't have that much physical memory available. You can check this by using resource monitor.

  Press the Windows Logo + R.

  In the Run dialog box, type resource.exe, and then press OK.

  Select the memory tab. A nice GUI appears in the physical memory section.

  An important point is the reserved physical memory. It's the memory that the computer BIOS material reserves for some hardware on the system (the installed graphics device usually consumes the biggest part). This amount of physical memory is not available for use by the system. If deduct you the number of installed RAM and then rerun your test of memory usage of crete, you will get a true number for 16%.

  Tip: you can hover over any element in the physical memory section and a description of the pop-up window for this item.

  In regards to windows offering a caveat when system resources are low, as I said before, this is what the State does not is all about. When a program is started or the memory is too low for a running program to respond timely is when you see this State does not reply and flashing that you described.

  What you can do.

  1. increase the memory by installing more physical RAM.

  2. check the virtual memory settings. Open the Control Panel/System/Advanced tab control. In the performance section, click on Settings / Advanced tab, make sure that the programs are selected in the processor scheduling section.

  In the virtual memory section, click the Edit button. Select the system drive and click System managed size. This will allow Windows allocate virtual memory if necessary.

  3. open the Control Panel control/troubleshooting. In the system and security section, click check for performance issues. Follow the steps in the resolution of the problems.

  Make sure you run the Maintenance options as described in.
