    Hi NancyB_598,

    Thanks for posting in Microsoft Communities. Provide the following information to understand the issue:

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         When exactly do you get this error message?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security 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 do not 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 during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Follow these steps:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

    Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode with networking, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 7 the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you try to reset to a new start Indexing Options by removing and then rebuild the index and check if it helps.
    Your search index requires virtually no maintenance. However, if the index looking for files that you know problems must be in a location indexed; You may have to re-create the index.

    To rebuild the index:

    a. open indexing and Search Options by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Indexing Options.

    b. click Advanced Options, click the index settings tab and then click on rebuild. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Catalyst Control Center: Host has stopped working

    Whenever I start my old Toshiba laptop computer for 3 years, I get this message: host of Catalyst Control Center has stopped working and then nothing. I check the current update drivers says it all day, but I went on this site called Driver Whiz and he says I'm wrong 8 things with my computer Says: Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller... out of date... then 2 ATI HDMI Audio... updated... then system devices said ATI 1/0 5 MB... updated... communication processor and then disconnected devices : 4 JMB38X MS Host peripheral COntroller is disconnected, but they want 50 buck for them to fix it when I downloaded what I thought was that it was free so now it's on my computer... UGH!

    My LT is a Toshiba Satellite A665D

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1

    I am running Iolo System Mechanic 11 on my machine for detection of spyware, malware, viruses and been with them for 5 years and this has NEVER happened since I was with them. My Toshiba Service Station does not work and tried to contact Toshiba as well, but yet they want the money for technical advice. I know that somebody here is tech savey and I am disabled and do not have the money to repair this laptop so please can someone there give me info on how to get back to his old self of my machine? Oh and btw, I did a system restore, but this message from Catalyst Control Center is yet to come. PLEASE HELP ME AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    "I went on this site called Driver Whiz and he says I'm wrong 8 things with my computer.
    Don't believe one thing, or say similar sites. They are only after your money.
    To top it off they often install software that can be difficult to uninstall, and if
    you don't uninstall it you get messages.
    It seems that there are a lot of discussions about uninstalling the program driver Wiz, but I
    guess the best place to start is to their own site-

    http://driverwhiz.com/support/uninstall
    If that won't uninstall not indeed their software, then you may need to do more
    read other threads.

    "Microsoft downloaded as 13 updates when I turned off my computer.

    I hope that you do not say that you stop the machine while the updates were
    installation. If none simply let problem Windows updates check again and select only a little at a time and let it install, go to learn more. Avoid also the 'Optional '.
    updates, particularly of driver updates.
    In regard to it and the fake driver software installed. If you started having problems after that Windows updates don't you have a restore point from the system that dates back to before that you did? If so do the system restore and then move on the updates again. Restoration can even delete 'wiz pilot' with a bit of luck.

    Now - 'Catalyst Control Center host has stopped working"I suppose you were
    get this error before the debacle "Pilot Wiz"?
    I uninstall the drivers ATI and the CCC software via programs and features and then go to the download page of Toshiba for new drivers. It can be pilots became corrupt, but the "updater" does not know this. It checks only to a version of file.
    Personally, I do not use updates of autopilots. Best to download the installer and install manually, if Toishiba have this option.
