  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  Windows, then closing, checks all open programs. If there is, it sends a request for the program to close and wait until the program closes safely, to avoid any loss of data. But, Windows is waiting for some specified
  If you are sure that none of the programs are obviously open, you can try the following steps:
  Press Windows key + r, Type regedit and pres enter. If UAC prompts, click Yes. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> expand System-> expand CurrentControlSet-> click on command (exapnd no do this). When you click (or select) control, you can see WaitToKillServiceTimeout. Double-click it to change the value. Set the value to 500 or less than that. Click Ok, and then close the registry editor. Now, restart the PC. If the problem persists, stop and try again and check.
  Be careful with registry access as incorrect values or remove the unknown keys can prevent Windows to start and it will fix it.

• Icons are white or invisible at the start of windows 7.

  We have just upgraded a laptop Sony Vaio running Vista 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. There were not problems by installing the software and Windows loads fine but once it does all the icons on the desktop and in the menu start are either a box white or completely gone. The icon shortcuts seem to work when you double-click. The same problem occurs in windows Explorer. For example, in the pictures folder, none of the thumbnails are viewable. It's the same thing with the white boxes. We have updated the drivers and it doesn't seem to help. I also reset the icon cache and who still doesn't seem to help. The interesting thing is that if I start the computer in safe mode icons ARE visible. Any ideas on what can be causing this and what can we do about it? Let me know if more information on the specifications of the computer is required and I can post it. Thanks in advance.

  I have an old computer running wins xp, its been running on the local network.

Anyway should I install clean my computer?  What I lose one of my data or applications or settings? Thank you

• Windows Vista black after login screen and Explorer has stopped working error

  Hello world

  I have a very big problem. Whenever I connect to my computer that is running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition all I get is a black screen and a mouse pointer. I can use Ctrl + Alt + Del or Alt + Ctr + Shift lift the the Task Manager, and from there I can run firefox. Once in Firefox I can use the option open the file to find programs, do a right-click and then run them. But I want my back office. When I try to run Explorer from the Task Manager and then I get an error message saying it stopped and must be closed. I also keep getting an error message for something like 'Windows Search Protocol Host' or somesuch. A large part of time that this will just about a five-minute cycle in a style of window minimized down thing then the error message poopping upwards. I am also quite unable to open Control Panel or MSCONFIG. Whenever I try that they freeze and I get an error message saying that they have a problem and need to close. Also I did not change my software recently. In fact it worked fine yesterday when I was with Photoshop Elements 7.0. Another thing that can help anyone trying to find an answer that is in most of the forums help I saw people talking about going into regedit (something I CAN open it) and put the shell on explorer.exe. Mine is already set to explorer.exe. It is also something else that many videos help and forums have said I should close explorer.exe in Task Manager process tab, then run it again. I don't have an explorer.exe in the processes tab and when I try to run it I just get "WIndows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close."

  Please help people, I'm going nuts without a desk job.

  PS. I use the computer with the problem to type this.

• Windows 7 desktop icons are all links

  Have a new windows 7. flying over my photos from the old computer. Some show a picture, so I right click for hopefully display image in an another photo viewer. I chose the windows photo viewer.  All icons on the desktop has changed so that icon and I can't open anything. They are all links

  'All icons on the desktop changed to icon and I cannot open anything'. I assume this is the icon of the windows photo viewer?

  I think that what's happened is that you used 'open with' on a shortened. You can check by going to control panel > programs > associate a file type or Protocol with a scroll of program LNK partner should say unknown. I suspect now is said however: Photo Viewer.

  If so, there are two ways, this can be fixed. The easy way requires editing the registry but then you want to go this route.

  1. click on Start Menu, type regedit in start search and press ENTER. Right click on regedit search results and run it as an administrator.

  2. navigate to the following registry branch:

  NtVersion ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\ [ext]

  Replace the [ext] with the real extension of the file you want to restore the file type association to return to the original Windows 7 by default (probably .lnk). If you unsure, simply browse through all the Sub-touche under FileExts.

  3. delete the subkey named UserChoice.

  4. exit the registry editor.

  The second method is a little more work, can't fix it, but does not involve the registry.

  Since the default action is caused by the user (as it was accidental) choice, you can be able to restore everything simply by creating a new user account. See if the icons to return to their natural state, then knit. If so, just move all your files and folders and delete the old account. If you use Outlook, you also need to reset where it looks for files of Outlook, but it can be automatic (do not try to start Outlook until what everything is copied on the property). If you use this method, remember to copy the hidden appdata folder. Just show all before you begin the copy.

• KB975051 updates and KB976882 will not install on Windows Vista. They are Office and Outlook 2003. Anyone else having the same problem?

  Tried several times.  Windows Update keeps prompting me to install but it fails every time.

  I was finally able to solve the problem of not being able to update KB975051 and KB976882 by taking the following measures:
  In Google I typed in 'the kb976882 will not be installed.  Under options, I got "Download Details: update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Junk...» "the site of Microsoft.com/downloads.  I downloaded from this site and then also picked KB975051 on other popular choice located lower on the page and done the same thing.  I don't remember this solution being a few days ago.
