Vista freezing on the web and Control Panel
My laptop keeps freezing today. It's freezing in the control panel in safemode, on Firefox. This is what I was able to access today. I get the message not responding and the blue ball of spinning. Leave and he begins to respond again hope does not work. Reboot does not work, two updates that were installed last night the uninstall does not work. It was working fine last night, but this morning, after these two updates were automatically installed, nothing works. I can view a page or screen or two and then it freezes. I did a reboot, several reboots, safe mode. Nothing works and I get fed up with hours of this.
I am running Vista on a Dell studio, bought in December.
Hey HeidiJoH
When it was working fine without freezing?
You remember recent changes to the computer before it started?
If the computer was working fine before, you can do a restore of the system on your computer. Here are the steps on how to do a system restore:
To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
Click on start toreduce this top t, type System Restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue.
In the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click Next.
In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
Click Finish.
Here is an article that will give you information about the system restore:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212/
The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.
Try to do a system restore and let us know if it works.
Thank you.
Kind regards

On the start menu control panel does not work
When I click on the start menu control Panel icon, it says and I quote": {26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}"the RPC server is unavailable." All other icons are thus working computer, network, printers, etc all its only the control panel is not working. Two questions how to fix this and what is the RPC server?
Hi I.Saenz,
1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
2 when was the last time it was working fine?
3. do you have security software installed on the computer?
Remote procedure call (RPC) is a part of Windows programs, which is "an interprocess communication technique that allows the software client and server to communicate." CPP is designed to provide a common interface between applications, making it easy for programs to communicate with the servers.
Check if the problem persists in safe mode.
Start your computer in safe mode
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
Restart the computer to return to normal mode
If the problem persists in safe mode then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.
The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

Vista freezes on the screen of closing
I'm having a problem with my laptop shutdown.
From what I understand, it is not a hardware problem. I can dual-boot Windows Vista Business or Linux Ubuntu 9.10, and I have no problem to stop under Linux. So the problem is located on the Vista partition.
It's probably not in the main files of Windows since I can always stop correctly on Vista Mode without failure.
So, it seems to me that the problem is in the supplementary programmes in my Vista. I searched the Web and found solutions like the registry to find errors in digitization and the system restore function.
The problem is that I already had my Norton 360 v3 scanner registry and found no errors. I can't use, System Restore because I turned off to keep my computer fast and light.
In Normal Mode, it stops properly until it reaches the screen "stop". Then, he works for a few seconds before freezing completely, forcing press and hold me the power button. But, I can continue to do this only if long before she starts to damage my hard drive.
What else can I do to fix this permanently?
Thanks for your time.Take care

ENVY of HP dv7 w / Win 8.1 freezes after the closing and re-opening of lid
Computer: HP dv7 ENVY
Processor: Intel Core i7-3820 QM 2.7 GHz
OS: Windows 8.1
Graphics Card & Driver: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M (worm 331.82)
Since the passage of Win 8.0 to 8.1, my laptop does not respond to the new entry after the closing and reopening of the cover. As an attempt to circumvent the problem, in Control Panel (Control Panel > hardware and sound > Power Options > System Settings) I selected 'doing nothing' for preferences "when I close the lid. After having opened the lid, tab browser fail to loa, windows cannot be enabled/disabled and CTRL-ALT-DEL gives no answer (preventing access to even the Task Manager). The computer must be restarted to continue in force.
This solution seems to have worked, even if I do not know why the four actions that were "resolved" by the resolution of the problems of power would cause the issue.
Thank you!

original title: no sound coming from my speakers
To everyone
Thanks for trying to help me. However, since some of the suggestions seem to me be beyond my capabilities, I decided to take the hard drive to a computer technician.
It took him an hour to solve the problem. One of the problems was that the new map, he installed had crushed WMV. He is also turned off user account control.
Everything works now and I'm very happy, because I had spent the day trying to solve the problem.
Once again, thank you to all of you who gave me your opinion.
