• Windows Indexing running for hours each day, slowing down computer

  Every morning when I start my laptop, the Windows Indexing service starts.  He turns for hours and really slows down my computer while it is running.  I suspect that it is a new construction index every day and not incremental update.

  Last week, I opened administrative services, found indexing service and set its startup type to disabled.  When I go in there now, he said that the service is stopped, but in my status bar windows taskbar system, it is still ongoing.

  I am running Windows XP Professional Svc Pack 3.

  Help, please!

  You probably mean the Windows Desktop Search?  (Which is not the same as Indexing Service).  Go to add/remove programs then uninstall it.

• Rescue and recovery blocks for hours at 0% of backup

  Hello

  My R61 ran quite OK, but slower over time. I got through rescue and recovery made a backup of the entire system on an external hard drive. (I had come back to XP and recently did a total system backup on the external HD). So I haven't started the rescue and recovery, thinking that he should simply reinstall it previously saved system. Alas at step 2 the progress of rescue and recovery, the new generation of the system stopped. Black screen with the message: «backup system is...» 0 % ». Here I wait for hours. Nothing progesses.

  What should I do? Island of 'progress' is already happening for 6 hours! (I see that my external HD flashes from time to time, but the computer does not seem to do anything).

  What should I do? I fear that if I press the power button to restart the computer, I will plant it completely.

  Please help me!

  Thanks in advance

  Rescue and recovery hung several times for hours. Yet, it seemed to work after 20 hours. Puhhhh...

  Lenovo at: Your UI during the rescue and recovery process is ineffective. He left me without any feedback for hours. Almost, I rebooted the computer during critical backups. Here you certainly should help the user to understand what to do and what not. How can I find out, it's OK to have a bar saying 0% progress made for 8 hours.

  Even now, I don't know what to do. The computer restarts, windows is OK. But now I can turn off the computer or is always something during rescue and recovery. The last time, he says, it is step 2 on a total of 5 steps. Is it still now something in the back? The rescue is complete? Where is the message telling me, he did the job.

  All users: be patient, do not hit anything it either by running a rescue and recovery.

  Lenovo: By the way, I had - after installing my computer with xp - makes a backup of the system. that I repeated it several times. When my HD arrived full, I remove some of the older versions, because anyway, I had the newer versions which worked perfectly. Alas, I didn't, which obviously rescue and recovery done a system save, later versions are simply updated. By removing the first version, I lost all the! So, I ended up having no actual backup of a validating at the beginning.  In short: Rescue and Recovery can be a tool very well for an IT expert. For the average user, there are much too many traps. Lenovo: Try to it you like-centered-design user instead of the user Board Chinese garbage, if in the future, you want to keep as «almost IBM» brand name For me, Lenovo - in this regard - is more "almost Chinese It-garbage".

• Windows 7 blocking for updates of 27/05/09

  After you install the important updates yesterday, my computer broke down four times. Twice I was streaming media on IE 8 (hulu and pandora radio). The next two times my computer has gotten barely past the Welcome screen before turning off. It then restarts to the choice screen «Windows did not close properly» I tried to restart in normal mode every time. I was wondering if someone else was familiar with a similar fate after the updates. Everything worked fine before them.

  Hello, Nate

  This occurs in a different version of Windows?

  It seems likely that a piece of equipment is missing, if this happens outside of Windows 7, it can confirm.

  We look forward to o back to hear you.

• router cannot be configured. blocked for hours here.

  Hi, I recently changed my ISP. I tried to use the router with the same settings as my previous ISP, but it didn't connect. I have reset the router, ran the installation cd, and before setting the admin password, it detected initially as dhcp internet connection. I put the password, could load google. then it came to a point where there was sure easy installation in which I had to press the button in the router (that I didn't because it was not any signal in the statement to do).

  I refreshed the page and google no longer charge. I opened a new tab, but in vain.

  I have reset the router, followed by the installation and at this point eversince, it detects the connection as an ip address static (step 8). I changed it to dhcp, but the error message saying that the router cannot connect to the internet. I have reset the router all over again, but the same problem occurs.

  My question for everyone is, is there a way so that the router can detect the internet connection as dhcp? Sorry for the long post, but I must detail the problem and air my frustration.

  any help will be greatly appreciated.

  I called linksys free of charge and the problem was the internet light on the router is not light, so the agent told me that it be replaced.

• Windows xp freezes for a long time during the installation of Windows Update.

  Original title: xp freeze during an update... what to do

  I turned on my computer for the first time in 10 days. When stop he went in update mode (21 updates) and was 19, since yesterday evening around 20:00 is this normal and if not what is my next step since he says do not close during an update?

  Hi MarcyDowning,

  If the update is blocked for hours, then you can try to restart the computer and check if it starts in normal mode.

  If not, then try to start in safe mode and try to perform a system restore:

  Step 1:

  You can check the article to start in safe mode:

  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

  Step 2:

  If you are able to boot into safe mode, and then try to perform a system restore and check if you are able to boot into normal mode:

  How to restore Windows XP to a previous state

  Note: When safe mode system restore, system restore points are deleted.

  Once you are able to boot into normal mode, you can try to install the updates in batches containing updates 4 or 5 at a time and check if it helps.

  Hello drjoe_anzaldua,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.

  Usually the "Windows is unable to Check For Updates" error message produced always of the blocker window update connection attempt.

  1. first of all, please check that there is no any third-party firewall preventing Windows Update to communicate with "update.microsoft.com.

  2. check if Windows Firewall is blocking the update of Windows.

  Please see the following article for connection errors:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/836941

  836941. you may encounter temporary connection errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates

  After following the steps of troubleshooting in the article, if you still get an error message, thanks for posting again so that we can help you.

• Firefox keeps asking for an update, but is unable to complete. It is stuck on the "Connecting to Server" and turns for hours until I stop. Help!

  I have a version of Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I used Firefox on it since I got it 3 years (?). The most recent update for Firefox and Thunderbird guard invites me, but when I say 'yes' to update, a bar with lines moving through it, and he said: "Connecting to the update server", but it is never a more far. I left for hours at a time and it does actually update or another program.

  If you have problems with the update then more simple is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.

  Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop DMG

  • Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
  • Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
  • Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
  • Install the new version you downloaded

  Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
