• Windows Vista freezing after installing Service Pack 2

  Yesterday, I downloaded the Windows Vista Service Pack 2.  Now, 10 minutes after turning on my computer, my internet browser and all other open windows will be freezes and I have to manually turn off the computer.   I was forced to repeat this cycle about 10 times already.  I tried the system restore, but it was a mistake not identified, so that the system could not be restored successfully.  I also tried to uninstall the Service Pack, but that no longer works.  Help, please.

• Computer screen freezes after inactivity

  I recently did a free my Norton anti-virus update to the new version 2011. After this update my computer screen freezes like 1 or 2 times a day. It occurs normally after I put mode "Eve" and go back to using it. After about 15 to 30 seconds, it will freeze sometimes.

  I don't know if it's related but I got a DEP Data Execution Prevention, pop up, but not when the screen froze. I performed a complete analysis of the system of Norton and not detected no viruses.

  I wonder if this new version of Norton has problems with windows? I use my computer for e-mail and the Internet. Do not download music, games ect...

  Any help would be appreciated.

  On your download Norton: I had similar problems and discovered how to do a clean install by getting rid of that most completely in the control panel and task bar completely so we start with the most recent. If you do not buy on line and using the disk, Norton technicians will likely send e-mail instructions since it's their program.  But read on some similar experiences I've had, it might help you.

  I finally got the taskbar, moved to the bottom of the screen, but in the meantime, I downloaded a software called ParetoLogic who claimed that he could fix the taskbar, but he did all the scans and has not set something on the taskbar, so I deleted and kept following the instructions in the task bar and got moved from the task bar.  Then I uninstalled the software called ParetoLogic, my office has begun to gel.  I have to shut down the computer manually, so I contacted the technician on their site and they sent instructions to fetch the menus of tasks that were set to run and the record, but when I finally found the tasks, I couldn't delete them.  I tried to close the Task Manager and he said that I could not close file until all dialog boxes are closed, and I could not find how to close the dialog boxes.  I do not know how to find it after searching for the bar of tasks and answers questions, so I had to click on restart and shut down everything, so I probably lost some information on the way.  I had a computer to lock my CD drive there are several antivirus and anti spyware software, making a few years I used McAfee more Att security program free that they have downloaded with my DSL internet. I didn't know until you have to do a clean uninstall before you try to download a newer version. The control panel will not remove or uninstall all of a program, there are always parts of it, still running in the system, and that's what happens to me today, so, maybe if clean you the old version first, then do a clean with the more recent, install which will probably do.

• Vista crashes after having been slowed problems please help

  Vista freezes after inactivity after 10 + minutes. then the only way to get it back to a difficult start. Had this problem for over a year. I tried every fix suggested here and on other forums. I reinstalled windows, about 8 - 10 times in the last 18 mos. I have a HP Pavilion a1720n with Vista Home premium Service Pack 2 32 bit OS., core 2 duo intel viiv cpu 6300 1.87 GHz, 320 GB hd, 1 GB of ram. I replaced the video card NVIDIA graphic card, reinstall the ram and same half pulled then switched to another, tried the fix of the pagefile, changed the keyboard and mouse, did the thing to clean boot, msconfig-services-disable all, startup - uncheck some or most, among a hundred other suggestions. None of this has helped.  It does not freeze as long as I'm sitting in front of it using the keyboard or the mouse. It only happens when I walk off the pc for more than a few minutes.  Windows defender is stopped.  I have AVG 2012 but normally I have more than Mcafee, even if there is still an active subscription, I haven't added since reinstalling windows 2 days ago.  I scanned it with malwarebytes program and he comes clean. Virus scan is clean.  I noticed that whenever I have reinstall windows, it's usually after the installation of the updates that it begins to freeze again.  I paid almost $900 for this pc and expected to last longer without this problem. Someone at - he no clue as to how I can solve this problem for good? Help, please. Thank God I have another pc as a backup.

  Well, I decided not to buy a new hard drive after all. I reinstalled windows, once again, the only thing I did different this time around is format the hard drive rather than reinstall.  It's been 4 days since I did it and my pc was no freeze ups at all... yet.

• My new Windows 7/64 bit computer Dell freezes after being idle for 20-30 minutes

  Some basic information:
  (a) my laptop is brand new, I bought it less than a month ago and I started experiencing this problem in the beginning, very annoying.
  (b) my laptop freezes after inactivity for 20-30 minutes, I have to remove the power cable and reconnect it to restart the computer
  (c) the freezing happens daily when I have access to the Internet with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, no difference between these two.
  (d) I have Windows 7 Home Premimum with the latest updates.
  (e) I get no error message when the computer freezes, it freezes only when idle, as when I leave my computer for 20-30 minutes
  (f) I ran the disk check, I did the clean boot and I have configured the power setting, but the problem persists.

  Can someone help me? I searched this problem on the Internet and it seems to be a common problem with Windows 7. I've never had such problems with my previous computers with Windows XP and Windows Vista.

  This isn't a common problem.

  Do you have what programs or utilities maintenance installed?

  This external devices you have connected?

  Using Dell DataSafe? If not, uninstall

  Do you wrong used windows update to install the recommended updates, as apposed to important updates?

• Vista Home Premium 32 bit freezes after an indeterminate amount of inactivity

  For the last few weeks, my HP Pavilion dv6500 laptop has been freezing after periods of inactivity. Seems that the only change made to the computer until that moment was a Windows update that was late about 3 - 4 weeks. No other programs have been installed.

  I have not precisely timed duration yet, but I think 10-15 minutes of inactivity in freezing results. Little happens is important if the lid is open or closed. Only "a freeze" is to do a hard restart.

  I ran in Mode safe... same results. I did a system restore to a point before the update of Windows. I reinstalled the latest graphics and audio drivers. I ran SpyBot: Search and Destroy... we found an approximately 18 items requiring repair or removal, but it also has not fixed the problem. I ran Check Disk and the problem still persists.

  I'm running out of ideas, and this problem is driving me absolutely crazy. I hope someone can help before I lose my mind. Thanks in advance.

• Satellite X 200 freezes after 15 minutes of inactivity

  I'm tired of this problem: my laptop freezes after 15 minutes of inactivity and I can get it going again to reset. The problem was solved when I reinstall Vista, but after several months my laptop started hanging up. And my laptop is unable to install Tempro 2.0.3.

  Please, help me to solve this problem and I don't want to reinstall Vista again.

  Hello

  For me it sounds like that a 3rd party software application or is causing this problem because you wrote that after Vista reinstall, the problem has been resolved.

  I put t know this software you have installed, but you need to remove all unnecessary applications as shareware or trial versions.
  Then use CCleaner to clean the registry.
  Visit the Windows update website and install all the updates that are available for your Windows.

  In the worst case, you will need to reinstall Vista again. In my opinion a reinstall from time to time is normal and I have reinstall my laptop every year. So I often have good performance.

• Two minutes after I turned on the laptop Vista freezes

  My Vista freezes about 2 minutes after I turned on the laptop. Then it does not allow me to do something, so I have to cut the current, do not use the close option. I don't know if it is a common problem in Vista or if it's just my laptop.

  Download or leave the laptop on for a very long time will help this problem?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Usually, the OS should no freezes but sometimes if the temperature of the laptop is high it can happen that the laptop will not answer. Sometimes some installed 3rd party applications could have a bad influence and can cause freezing.

  I recommend reinstall the Vista from the Toshiba restore CD.
  If the laptop freezes still after the new installation you must contact the technician of the laptop of the ASP in your country.

  Good bye

• Windows Vista Basic has been freezing after sitting idle in normal mode and safe mode.

• Laptop freezes after exactly 2 minutes

  My laptop freezes after exactly 2 minutes. I don't get the problem when booting in safe mode. I've disabled all services & then allowed them one at a time and the problem seems to be with BITS & Windows update. My laptop will not freeze if I let only these two services turned off. I ran the Scanner to complete MS who managed nothing found. I also ran sfc/scannow & cleaning. I have a HP G7000 Notebook running Vista Home Basic 32-bit with SP2.

  Thank you.

  What follows is a generic response.
  Among the measures that you have already done.

  There are many reasons why a PC "behaves" in this way.

  These boring "desynchronization" can be caused by an overloaded hard drive, CPU overworked, Malware, 2 AV, useless data, browser addons, or you can have unnecessary programs running in the background, etc...

  What follows is a series of steps that you want to try troubleshooting...

  * Make sure that all the intake/exhaust vents are clean as well as fans.
  Download some software temp monitoring for cpu, gpu.

  * This could be a hard drive that goes wrong or corrupt.
  To check a hard training see Check Disk...
  Run the disk check.

  * In a Directors account type cmd in search.
  Type sfc/scannow in cmd.
  This report and solve minor problems.
  Take note of what is said at the end.
  Your computer should freeze, try to do the tests in safe mode.

  * Go to search, type Manager devices and look for the yellow warning markers.

  * If overclocking, restore to the original.

  * Try in safe mode; report back if it works properly.

  * Minimum. You to find out what is causing your problem.

  * Run a scan with Malwarebytes.

• Mouse Vista freeze for mobsync.exe (Microsoft Sync Center)

  Hello

  My Vista system had mouse freeze for 10 or 15 seconds every few minutes for some time now, too long for me to start simply undo the restore points. I read what is on the net about others who have had the same problem and tried many patches, but without success to get rid of or even change the problem.

  I have a MS optical blue USB mouse, running on an ultimate Vista update install on a Dell workstation. Gel mouse is often coincides with the hard disk activity, so I tried to decommissioning and anything that may run intermittently the hard disk in the background, but once again without any effect on the problem of indexing.

  Recently, I brought up the Task Manager and left open. A few minutes later when gel mouse happened again, I saw "mobsynce.exe" appears in the list of processes, and then disappear a few seconds after the mouse resurrected itself. That's what happens whenever the mouse crashes, at least on my system.

  I had never heard "Microsoft Sync Center", and read on this subject on MS gave me not a lot better understand why it's popping in and out, as if it were. I tried to turn off all the files and readers, without changing the frequency of freezing.

  MS wrote of Sync Center can not be disabled or uninstalled. I have not all attached to my machines, I know mobile devices. I am on an intranet home, and I have the HP MediaSmart Server on this network, as well as some other machines.

  In Sync Center, I have nothing that could be stopped to be synchronized, no evidence of errors, etc. Its only function on my system, seems to be to freeze my dozens of mouse of times every day.<|:-)>

  Anyone know about this feature from the center of synchronization and how to behave and leave my mouse only or even what the devil Sync Center is supposed to be for? Is there something to do with it being a USB mouse that makes the Center Synchronization think to check for "synchronization"?

  As part of the 'trying everying that everyone has suggested on the net regarding the mouse Vista freezing problem', I have installed/uninstalled drivers for this mouse mouse, but also using some generic driver for Vista is here. No change to anything. I have not tried switching to the a PS/2 port, but only because what I read just said he is indifferent to the problem.

  Thanks for your help with this.

  Ian J.

  For all the world's information...

  I rebuilt the USB stack and introduced to the mouse backwards to a USB mouse. I experienced the same problem as before, gel apparently slightly worse, which makes the mouse unusable. The only solution that worked in my situation is plug the USB mouse with a PS2 port adapter and use it that way. There are still sometimes 'breaks' but not gel, and they may have other causes.
