• Computer hangs after installing windows updates...

  computer hangs after the installation of update.  Full system restore and the computer worked fine for a week. Has started having problems still... verified and automatic updates for windows have been downloaded and installed today. Confused about where to go from here. Help, please. Thank you!

  To be clear, the issue is not appeared since the updates have been installed one at a time, correct?

  KB2447568 is A compatibility view list update is available for Windows Internet Explorer 8:23 November 2010
  The KB updates a file in Internet Explorer.
  There is a small chance that Trend Micro has a conflict with the update. If this is the issue, then there would be more posts on this topic.
  This looks like a temporary glitch occurred.

  The only suggestion I would make is that when there are a bunch of updates, as there was in December, then it would be better to install the most complex by themselves.
  This would mean that changing setting Windows updates for "download updates for me, but let me choose whether to install them.
  For example, the cumulative update for Internet Explorer, KB2416400, would be installed last, and by himself.

  And, since you pick a time to install updates that have been previously downloaded, then you can install them in groups of 4 and If it is another problem caused by them or their installation, you will be able to refine specific update was the cause.

• Computer hangs after having gained access to workstation, network from the beginning places and at other times.

  Hi, I use Windows XP Professional SP/3 on a 32-bit computer. We have three computers on a home network wireless, everything works well for several years. Now several weird things happened more or less at the same time. I can't identify anything what I did precisely that lead to these problems that are:

  a. when I try to open 'My computer', ' Start ' or after opening 'Explorer', all I see is a small icon yellow flashlight, but not records.

  b. when I go 'Start' to 'My Documents' or 'My images', 'My Network Places' and the respective window opens but then crashes if I try to select an option in the left column.

  c. when I open a Word, PowerPoint or other document and try to "save under", a small window pops up that says "initialization root to display folders» Finally after about 2 minutes, show records roots but once again the process crashes as I try to use it.

  d. my computer recognize my HP ScanJet 5590 or my Canon digital camera when I attach one of them through a USB port, but the scanner Wizard and camera does not open to receive the downloaded or scanned images... nothing happens.

  e. when I open a file in "My pictures", I get a picture icon, not the image and then have to go to 'open with' to see the photo in the image viewer. If I try the film option, I see "generating Preview ' but nothing happens.

  f. and finally, when I get to the "my network places" and then click on "computers from the network view", the window hangs. Other computers on the network will appear in "My Network Places" but now only show as an icon is empty, is not an active link.

  So, maybe all these oddities relate? I have reloaded the scanner software, checked the camera drivers and a scanner, all OK. I don't know where to go from here after reading several threads of discussion about some of these issues. Can someone help me? Thank you very much.

  John

  To answer #1, that looks like a setting in the "boot.ini".  The following articles answer this:

  "How to edit the Boot.ini file in Windows XP"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/289022 >
  "Switches to boot mode safe mode to the Windows Boot.ini file"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/Q239780/ >

  This could have also been established by setting a check mark in the tab "Boot.ini" in msconfig.  Try to clear all the check marks in this tab.

  Good job tracing it down to WIA.  He would explain or influence the camera, scanner and long delays to explore.  Check out some of the following items:

  "Long delay before appear it files in my computer in Windows XP"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/819017 >
  "Windows XP does not recognize a Canon PowerShot S100 Digital camera"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/810609 >
  "Windows XP takes a long time to start"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/823612 >

  I believe that the general consensus is to remove all the seller WIA drivers, reboot, then reinstall them using the manufacturer.  It could be that you ended up with an incompatible mix of drivers, perhaps due to an update.

• The computer hangs after reboot cold.

  I just bought a HP Officejet AIO 6310xi. After several tests the OEM package will install not (installation failure). From the Web site and out of the CD/DVD included.

  I let MS-Vista install drivers and at least the printer works fine until reboot. Then the system freezes upward. Once I have turned the printer off and restart again the computer starts no prob. I have 6300 drivers and suspect that the drivers are up-to-date and incompatible with MS Vista. My computer is only a year old and during the inspection of the hub USB the draw appears in the settings (below 500 mha).

  The cable is less than 9 feet long. I have enough computer resources including backbone RAM and HD space.

  Is there anyway that I can get Vista drivers for this printer only without going through an arduous process for a long time?

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  It seems that the USB driver are to blame. But after I re-installed the new drivers of hub USB the computer always freezes the re-boot. It is not the most recent, I have found yet. The bios does not seem to be a problem because it is a Dec 2006 re - build. I guess it's a matter of waiting until the USB hub drivers are updated.

• Computer hangs after you have uninstalled Norton Internet Security Suite

  I recently uninstalled Norton Security suite (it's too intrusive) and installed Microsoft Security Essentials.  Since then, the machine hangs with a black screen if it's for more than 30 minutes.  I tried to restore to a previous restore point, but the machine to restore to the previous point (I also tried in safe mode).  I went to the site of Norton and their uninstall program to ensure that all of the Norton was out of my machine.  Also, the machine will now not install the automatic updates from Microsoft (I have 4 in the meantime), even if I try manually.

• The computer hangs after installing the latest updates

  I installed the latest windows updates.  Restarting my computer later, since hanging / freezing for half a second every 2-3 seconds.  I notice it more while trying to move the mouse or by watching a video (someone who speaks seems to stutter on about every 5th Word).  The computer clock has also been slowing.  He gets about 10-12 minutes behind before he catches upward.  When I look at the Task Manager, I do not take a lot of cpu.  Restarting the computer didn't help.  I've never had this problem before.  Any suggestions?

  Often by rebooting the computer solves an immediate problem.

  Take a look in the system and Application logs in the errors and warnings event viewer and post here the copies. Do not post on that more than 48 hours ago.

  You can access event viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, and Event Viewer. When searching for the meaning of the error, information about the event ID, Source and Description are important.

  A tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. You will see a button resembling two pages. Click on the button and close Event Viewer. This places a copy of the report to your Clipboard. Paste it into the body of your message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

• The computer hangs after resume from hibernation

  I bought a gateway in 2007 with Vista Home Premium. Great hibernation worked until 7 months after a windows update (I forget which). Now, when I resumed from hibernation, it restarts and comes up with the screen asking me if I want windows to start normally or in safe mode, etc. Any ideas of what could be the cause? Also now, after I try to bring it from being asleep, the screen is black and the computer does nothing. I have to then it reboot. Thank you.

  Hello Mlhargrave,

  Thank you for posting.  I found the solution to the problem of you in a Thread here on this site.

  We found that sometimes the BCD file may have problems.

  You can try this to fix the BCD file.

  1. run CMD. EXE as administrator

  2. run the following command: bcdedit - enum all

  Search for "Summary of Hibernate" in the output of the command above (example below):

  Out of the hibernation

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

  identifier {3d8d3081-33ac-11dc-9a41-806e6f6e6963}

  Device partition = C:

  path \Windows\system32\winresume.exe

  Windows Vista (TM) Enterprise (recovered)

  inherit {resumeloadersettings}

  FILEDEVICE partition = C:

  FilePath \hiberfil.sys

  PAE Yes

  debugoptionenabled No.

  3. Once you have found, copy the value of the identifier (in this example - {3d8d3081-33ac-11dc-9a41-806e6f6e6963})

  4. run the following command: bcdedit /deletevalue {3d8d3081-33ac-11dc-9a41-806e6f6e6963} inherit

  5. test of hibernation.

• The computer hangs after installing an update from McAfee.

  When McAfee performs an update on my computer, sometimes it takes turn off computer and do a reboot before they take effect.  Well, here's where the problems start.  When the computer turns back the cursor will not work, I have no way of online and even less off the computer.  I had to manually shut down the computer and restart with no luck there, too.  I had to resort to a restoration of systems even get the computer to work.  McAfee came with MSN I use and there has been no touble until last month of December.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have dial to connect.
  Thank you very much!

  Original title: McAfee update

  Personally, I would recommend dumping McAfee and using a more reliable program such as Microsoft Security Essentials.  Except that if, you should contact McAfee and see why it creates so many problems for you.
