  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to recover the DVD drive after Windows XP Service Pack 1 upgrade on protected M200

    I lost my DVD Multi writer after update WInXP SP1 on my M200 Tablet of protégé. Restarting ElbyCheck reported a conflict with v3.00189 drag ' n Drop. I chose (foolishly) to solve it.

    The situation is pretty much as described in FAQ ref: TRO0000001bf9 (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000001bf9

    Is it possible to reinstall the drivers and get the DVD without having to completely restore the tablet at its factory image?

    The good news is that the DVD works - it properly allows the Recovery DVD-Rom Toshiba to initialize. The DVD is mounted in the docking station for M200 Tablet and I don't think that there is another way to connect to the tablet.

    Windows XP Device Manager reports a problem with the Mat * a DVD-Ram UJ-810 USB device: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. "The driver is maybe corrupted or missing (code 39). However, uninstall or reinstall drivers does not help because Windows XP shows that the current drivers are installed.

    Is there a way to get the right drivers reloaded?

  • 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.

    The site is authentic.  You have two options when you do your relocation:

    Method 1

    1. Download SP3 form the Microsoft site and burn it to a cd or copy it to a flash drive.
    2. Reinstall Windows with your original Windows XP CD.
    3. Use the copy of SP3 that you burned on the CD or copied to the flash drive and update the machine to SP3.  Note that if you have an original CD of 'gold' of Windows XP without service pack that you install SP1a or SP2 before you install SP3, SP2 is available here , download and save it with SP3 before making your relocation.

    Method 2

    1. Download SP3 from the Microsoft site and it wake to your Windows XP CD.
    2. Install Windows XP with your slipstreamed CD and your installation will be in SP3, when installation is complete you will not need to install service packs, you'll just have to do some other updates that have been released after SP3.

    The http://lifehacker.com/386526/slipstream-service-pack-3-into-your-windows-xp-installation-cd is legitimate, it only gives you instructions on how to create and burn a CD of SP3 slipstreamed Windows XP.  If this seems too daunting then use method 1 to install Windows.

    Both methods are very good but method 2 allows a nicer cleaner installation, everything is installed to SP3 level and there are no remnants of previous service packs.  While creating the slipstreamed CD may appear to be a time consuming task, in the end, it will be a time saver and afterwards if you ever have problems with the installation of Windows you may need this cd SP3 slipstreamed to all repairs on the installation.  You can create the SP3 cd now and do it ready and at hand for future needs.

  • When I reboot after installation of service pack 2, the message comes out and says that updates are not configured correctly, returning from changes

    When I reboot after installation of service pack 2 on a computer laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit Dell XPS M1530, the message comes out and says that updates are not configured correctly, returning from changes. Do not turn off your computer. I installed update readiness tool, but it does still every time. I tried to disable the antivirus software prior to installation.

    Hello
     
     
     
    1. how you try to install Service Pack 2?
    2. are you able to boot to the desktop?
     
     
    Method:
    Step 1: If you are able to start the computer in normal mode, then try a clean boot.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • The computer hangs when connecting - if the workstation service is enabled.

    Original title: the computer crashes with workstation active service.

    I'm currently under Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I struggled to the login screen where you choose your user name and it says welcome, but nothing happens. Otherwise, my cursor will come back, but I can't do and ctrl-alt-del does not work either.

    I did safe mode, disabled services and isolated the problem to the workstation microsoft service. I understand that this workstation is essential for some components, such as connecting to a network drive, or a network printer.

    Now I have to work with workstation service disabled, and it's very inconvenient for my work. Is there a way around it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Were there any changes or updates made on the computer before the show?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you run Microsoft Safety Scanner for any malware or spyware infection and check if it helps.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    See also:

    The Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool helps remove specific malicious software and present on computers that are running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=890830#FAQ

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2:

    I suggest to create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

    Create a user profile.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-a-user-account

    If the new user profile resolves the problem, you can screw the corrupted profile and re - install the applications and programs.
