Taskbar freezes sometimes (Windows 8 Pro)

• Intermittent USB mouse freeze on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Tested with several mice that work fine on other computers.

  I am having a frustrating problem where my Wired Optical mouse appears to 'freeze' for 10 seconds on my machine Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Meanwhile, everything else on the computer works fine, including the keyboard (connected through PS2). The mouse does not seem to lose power because down the red LED stays on. At the end of the freeze period, I hear the sound of Windows to disconnect USB, but there is no error or windows pop-up ads of any kind on the screen.

  Some more info about the configuration:

  * Core i7 950 processor
  * 12 GB of RAM
  * Radeon HD4950 video card (or almost)
  * The main SSD drive
  * 2 external powered USB drives, 1 powered MIDI keyboard, 1 USB dongle
  * Windows experience score 7.3

  I tried things that did not work:

  • Turn off all the power management, including the management of power supply for USB, USB hubs-> suspend to win power, etc.
  • Permutation of mouse. The problem came with three different mouse from different manufacturers.
  • Try the mouse on different computers of W7 Pro. Confirmed that the mice are not the problem.
  • Disconnected all other USB devices except the mouse. Problem persists.
  • Uninstalled all the drivers for the mouse and use MS default drivers.
  • Installed the software Microsoft mouse & keyboard center.
  • Installed the software from the manufacturer (ie. logitech) specific mouse driver.
  • Tried every USB port, the front and back, on my computer, including USB3 vs USB2.
  • Scanned for malware (using Malwarebytes)
  • Search for viruses (using Nod32)

  I must point out that NO other devices are having problems on this computer. My external hard drives all work perfectly. My printer when I plug it, works great, like my USB dongle. My MIDI keyboard never loses connection. Even when I have my phone connected Android, which normally creates a huge noise if I unplug it, never disconnects even for a second. It is therefore clearly a kind of mouse problem.

  The problem seems to occur regardless of what I do, although it seems MORE common if I use actually the mouse. If I'm just typing (as I am now) it seems not really to happen. On the other hand, sometimes hours go with no problem and other time it happens literally every few seconds.

  Remove the check to "improve the accuracy of the printer" logic. I had two computers windows 7 x 64 that gives me the same problem. When I tried a wireless mouse, the problem disappeared. they do not use the windows controls.

• HP DM1-4110SD touchpad freeze and sometimes keyboard under Windows 8 Pro

  Hello

  I have the following problem:

  When I use the netbook with Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) after some time, the keyboard or touchpad will freeze. I have seen under drivers and downloads there is a fix Windows 7 (KB2621491), but this fix is not available for Windows 8.

  I tried to disable the sleep for the USB root hub, but that doesn't seem to work.

  Is the fix is going to be available for Windows 8, or y at - it another way to make this work?

  Hi Speeder.

  Most of the W7 drivers will work W8. I'm not sure that an individual. More than likely HP won't to material support for W8 on any system purchased before October 1, 2011.

  Take a look at this document http://goo.gl/CO6uV , which provides information on the upgrade of Windows 7 to 8, driver compatibility and much more.

  Please let me know if it helps.

• PCI-MXI-2 causes w/SP3 Windows XP Pro to freeze

  Here are the specifications of the test machine which is the gel with the PCI-MXI-2.

  Motherboard: C7P67 (supermicro)

  Mobo has no embedded video so I've tried three different cards PCIe...

  Currently installed: Geforce GT 430 DDR3

  RAM: VS2GB1333D3 total (Corsair): 8 GB RAM

  PSU: 550W

  No other devices are installed.

  We have 2 cards PCI-MXI-2 and the two freeze Windows XP Pro w/SP3 at startup.

  It gets to the desktop and then, about 30 seconds everything is frozen, unresponsive keyboard/mouse, nothing...

  Removing the PCI-MXI-2 causes the operating system to work properly.

  I installed the NIVXI331 software for the driver. We tried an another C7P67 motherboard, same problem.

  I also tried different revisions of the BIOS as well as the latest BIOS for the motherboard, the same question.

  We are trying to solve this problem with this particular motherboard (C7P67) for our client.

  I have read the manual for the PCI-MXI-2 card and the rocking U17 matches what is on the card for a 'normal' functioning (1, 2, 3 switches are "off" with the exception of switch 4 "CT")

  I also tried the two PCI expansion slots are available on the motherboard, the same question.

  Any suggestions please? Thank you!

  Thanks for your response! For some reason, the cards work now with the motherboard. Nothing has changed.

  It was strange.

I couldn't start my computer. I have a lot of data in my hard drive. What can I do to start computer or recover my data?

  First run Memtest86 +:
  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if your one or more of your memory
  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors, then your RAM is OK.

• I have windows xp pro. whenever I try to minimize all the windows they don't show in my taskbar.

  I have windows xp pro. whenever I try to minimize all the windows they don't show in my taskbar.

  You have only one monitor and your system is configured to use a single monitor?

  This can occur if you have several configured monitors and one of them are not connected or are turned off that you can't see reduced tasks.

  Whatever it is, you should be able to see a task enlarged, restored or minimized (unless the application has been configured to hide the task in the task bar).

• Reinstall Windows 7 Pro on new 2 TB HDD freezes on Windows startup screen

  My 160 GB hard drive crashed and I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro from the installation disc that came with my computer on my new hard drive 2 TB.  I read the posts that took even freeze on Windows startup screen and I disconnected all devices and devices except the mouse and keyboard.  I don't have 2 GB of memory simms, 8 GB installed, but has released simm all but one.  I tried to reinstall Windows 7 Professional several times and whenever it crosses the screen of facilities, then when the computer restarts it freezes at the Windows startup screen.  Help!

  Evelyn,

  (1) I have an idea which may simply not work. Install the software of Western Digital's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics.

  (2) then select / click on the Seagate 2 TB of disk.

  (3) then click on the little icon above the list of player who scored "click to run tests.

  (4) in the popup windows choose the option "write zeros". Click 'Start' and select the fastest two write options who writes zero for beginners / before the command and at the end / last sectors on the disk. It will take about 2 minutes or less. Once the zero finished writing your drive will be in a State of 'Raw' (just as if you removed from the box for the first time).

  (5) open "Disk management", you should see a windows asking you to 'Initialize' the reader. Choose the MBR (Master Boot Record "option.

  Now try to install Windows.

• Windows 8 Pro freezes on my Samsung NP300E5Z-A07IN

  Hi guys,.

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 Pro to Windows 7 & since then it started to freeze every now and then...
  It freezes for probably 2 minutes & start automatically works fine.
  have you noticed that every time it freezes the access of disk on my laptop light is always on and not flashing.
  have installed all windows updates & have all the updated drivers too (checked from the Manager of peripherals & Software Driver Reviver).

  What should I do to solve it? its really frustrating me now.

  Windows Update will do?

  Thank you.

  A friend suggested me to install Intel Rapid Storage Technology App for Windows 8 & it solved my problem.

  I worked like a charm.

• My keyboard does not work sometimes unless I reboot Windows 8 Pro?

  I installed Windows 8 Pro as an upgrade of Windows 7 Ultimate last Friday.  Everything works fine, but often after the awakening of my system from sleep, I can't use my keyboard and need to login with the keyboard of the screen.  After login, I still use the keyboard of the screen.  No problem with the mouse.  Rebooting always fixes the problem.  All of the suggestions.

  Hi Len III,

  What is the brand and model of your keyboard?

  If you already check the manufacturer's website and make sure that you have the most recent driver for your keyboard version.

• IMAP operations freeze sometimes Thunderbird

  I just changed using a new computer with Windows 8.1. Thunderbird (latest version 31.2.0), now sometimes hangs (not responding), for a minute or two for the IMAP operations. It didn't happen in Windows 7, and all parameters are identical.

  I have not found no consistency to the problem at all. Sometimes it doesn't happen for a while, other times it happens on each IMAP operation. It can happen when you move a message from one IMAP folder to another, or when you delete a message from an IMAP folder or by emptying the trash IMAP.

  Things I've tried and that made no difference:
  -Create a new Thunderbird profile.
  -Disable all add-ons.
  -Change the "maximum number of connections to the server to cache" to 1 for the IMAP account.

  It took 4 hours of troubleshooting, but I finally found the culprit.

  Windows Search

  He did not freeze while Windows is in Mode safe mode with networking.

  I uninstalled Kaspersky, disabled all non Microsoft Services, stopped all startup items, then started turning off Microsoft Services. Finally I could reduce to Windows Search. Then I re-enabled all the rest but Windows Search, tested, then activated Windows Search again.

  Ultimately, the way to solve the problem is in the Thunderbird Options:

  Menu bar: tools: Options: Advanced: general tab: systems integration:

  Clear the check box "Allow Windows Search search for messages".

• Aurora running, but can not be played on Desktop Windows 7 pro 64-bit

  I've been using Aurora for several years with Windows 7 pro 64-bit with the two latest major 28/29 Auroa just missing from my desk after clicking on the icon on the desktop, I tried to uninstall, but the system told me I had still Aroura running uninstall so I had to reboot my PC, I could uninstall I then reinstalled Aurora and a pinned icon appeared in the taskbar, but when I clicked on the icon on the desktop the hourglass turned but no Aroura started on the desktop, so I went through the whole thing again and uninstalled Aurora and installed Firefox V26 and now it has progressed to the last version that has disappeared as exactly the same way.

  What can I do if I use Aroura again because it is very good and safe to use?

  I can't use the troubleshooting info as I can't see Aurora/Firefox to view or copy/paste the info shown.

  Pete

  Thank you solved the problem, I restarted the PC and now Aurora works again thanks.

• CMT Compaq dc7100 Dual Boot, Windows 7 Pro and XP Pro

  Tile: CMT Compaq dc7100 Dual Boot, Windows 7 Pro and XP Pro

  Hello everyone.  My computer is adjustable having the dual boot with Windows 7 Pro on disk 0 (320 GB SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.11) and XP Pro disk 1 (40 GB SATA Samsung SP0411C). As the two systems are available at the start but most all the time Windows 7 Pro would use. The computer is Compaq 7100, WCL PP255US, 3.2 GHZ Intel Pentium 4, 3 GB of ram, Council ch h 0968, bios HP 78 1 v01.05 16/06/2004, chip Intel 915 G Express.  According to the website of Seagate Barracuda 320 GB with (quote), ' he not there no master/slave because every player relationship is considered to be a master in a relationship from point to point.» If two drives are connected to a Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system considers that the two devices as if they were the two "masters" on two ports separated. Both drives behave as if they were device 0 (master) devices.  On the drive Samsung (SP0411C) I put a jumper for master, it is connected to the motherboard instead of disk 1. Used rider illustrated for Samsung SP0411N since I did not see the SP0411C listed. When selecting information for Samsung Seagate site sometimes showed data for their readers. This is perhaps due to the recent acquisition of Samsung or maybe my mistake.  Tried swapping around wiring of each drive but that didn't work of course. Looked at the settings in the BIOS but did not see a way to create the dual boot.  Please let me know if you need more information. If you know how this can be done or have some suggestions, please let me hear it. As always, thank you very much for your comments.

  Hello oscarmint, I checked the specifications of your system and it does not show the system supports two types of hard drives.

  The system supports only Serial ATA (Sata) synchronous Maximum 150 MB/s transfer rate

  You would need to make the jumper on the Seagate 320 GB Sata Drive pin, set at 150 MB/s.

  You are right that the Seagate would not Cable Select or slave settings and it would be the master and only on cable.

  If the 40 GB hard drive is a type of ATA (IDE), you'd better put as selection of cables (CS).
