• Windows Vista does not respond after the removal of a usb device! HELP Please!

  I have windows vista for my PC and I noticed that most of the time when I remove a usb device, the computer is unresponsive and crashes on me shortly after. And I won't have any choice but to cut the main power supply if the computer shuts down. I know that this cannot continue and will eventually damage the computer. Is there a solution and why this can happen?

  Hi ClaudL,

  1. this happens with all type USB devices?

  2 when was the last time it was working fine?

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

  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.

• m9300t CTO - Vista "not responding" to Montor Wake Up

  Hello

  Recently I received a message 'No response' frustrating to Vista when I wake the computer.  To be clear, my current power setting turns off the monitor after 20 minutes, and I did not put computer to sleep at all.  After twenty minutes, my screen goes white, (as it should), but when I try to move my mouse and start working again, I see a message "Not responding" on the title bar of any window I try to focus.  Also the symbol of the blue circle over the mouse begins to turn in circles without any apparent resolution.  And I literally shut down the computer and restart to get things working again.

  Some ideas I have are:

  1 maybe NVIDIA driver problem... so I'll try to update the drivers

  2 could be a problem with power options; so I try to leave my computer screen all the time and see if it crashes

  3 can be hybrid sleep issue, although probably not

  Someone at - it any other suggestions?

  Thank you

  I would so go to the update of windows and HP

  and check for updates

  There will be a few extra infro information or click

  He will tell u what they are

• Vista displays the message "not responding".

  When I click to open programs, the program does not open and a message "not responding" appears next to the title of the program at the top of the screen. The entire screen turns off and when I try to close the program a box pops up that gives the options for "Wait for the program to answer" or "close program". When I select 'close program' a message saying "windows is looking for a response" but no answer is found and the system hangs and I can't 'restart', so I have to close the pc using the power button and open again.
  This problem occurs with any program and randomly. Some of the programmes concerned are Internet Explorer, windows Explorer, windows, windows snip tool, roxio creator 2009 and other photo gallery. It seems to happen with any program being launched and programs that have successfully launched previously.
  I searched the various help pages without success.

  3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

  4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

• Kindle book pages translate Amazon "not responding".

  Since the update to FF43, Windows Vista, I get a message "Not responding" whenever I visit a web page on Amazon.com that contains the information of product for a Kindle book. For example, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0189WSN9K/.

  I even tried to start FireFox in safe mode and got the same result. I also tried after logging on Amazon, first.

  When I pull up the Task Manager, it shows FireFox with about 25% of the available CPU resources, and the amount of memory used just constantly increases. I let it run for about an hour before ending, and he went from about 350 KB to 3 MB of memory. I suspect that it is in some kind of loop...?

  If I hit ESC at the right time, to stop the page loading, I get a web page that appears complete and functional. But if I'm too late, I just need to put an end to FireFox and restart. Too soon, and I need to try to load the web page again. Usually, it takes about 5 to 10 seconds to get the result "is not responding.

  Others with FF43 told me that they do not have a problem with the web page of the example I gave above. And it works fine for me in Chrome.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  It is no longer a problem. A later update of FireFox fixed it or Amazon changed something on their site.

• TB, slow and not meet with 'The Script is not responding' mailWindow.js CAUSE: McAfee (new)

  I have been using TB and its predecessor Eudora for years without any problem. These last few months I met it is very slow and usually "does not" clicking on something before the end of the thought. At this point I sometimes get an error message "chrome://messenger/content/mailWindow.js:180", saying that the script has stopped working. I click on continue and it resumes.

  After reading the various posts on the topic several times I did 1) re-indexed 2) made a clean installation 3) disabled modules 4) run in safe mode. Nothing seems to improve things. typical symptoms are:
  A. Download emails seems to take normal time, but their display in the Inbox can take a minute or more (used to be instantaneous) by clicking in the intermediate product, the message "not responding".
  B. Sending messages seems normal
  C. selection of a mail in the Inbox, or try to move or delete one takes a minute or more. Click on in the meantime generates the message "not responding".
  D. generally every action with the mouse has this long accompanied "not responding".

  I use Windows Vista, McAfee is installed but disabled does not make a difference.

• Satellite A200 - Vista does not and only the mouse works

  I have problem with Windows Vista SP1 on A200 (PSAE6E).

  After the recovery of the DVD attached to computer system Vista laptop and running other programs sometimes not respond. Hard drive also stop working. One job of the mouse and the cursor moves on the screen, nothing else. ALT + CTRL + delete not work too only solution is hard power off by pressing and hold the switch.

  Before recovering the system everything works fine. I noticed this Vista product key does not match that of the sticker. I have not changed key and no one else do not have access to my laptop, hard drive that is encrypted by TruceCryp.
  There is no viruses or Trojans in the system (verified by Avira free antivirus and HijackThis), all updates are installed, only one material error with I noticed his first bad block on the hard disk.

  Hello!

  Have you tried an external keyboard on the laptop? Maybe the internal keyboard is not working properly and so you can not use CTRL + ALT + DELETE.
  The laptop is not completely freeze because you can move the cursor.
  In addition, what programs have you installed on your laptop? Maybe these software applications cause this problem.

  Furthermore, you reinstall Vista using the Toshiba Recovery disk or the disk of Microsoft? Because you have questions about the product key on the underside of the laptop and this key belongs to the preinstalled version of Vista. It's an OEM key and you can't use it with a disc of Microsoft.

  > only material error with I noticed his first bad block on the hard disk.
  I think you should swap the HARD drive as soon as possible. Back up your data immediately.
  And this is perhaps the reason for the problem... Who knows?  :|

• Equium 1000-337 is not responding error

  Since the day 1 with ordinary "not responding" errors, I have suffered with this machine, which means generally that the PC freezes and must be turned off.

  Vista Home Premium, 1024 MB of RAM.

  Any help/suggestions appreciated.

  Hello

  "Usually the not responding" errors happens because of the CPU busy and stressed out.
  I put t know how many applications and programs run on your operating system at the same time, but if the CPU is busy it can happen that the running program must wait and that is why he does not answer.

  I see that you have installed Vista on this computer. "He should know that this OS needs resources much more like a MS OS at the beginning and I really don t wonder that such does not ' errors appears on the laptop with only 1 024 MB of memory.

  In my opinion you shouldn't t run multiple applications simultaneously and if possible try to improve memory if you want to run Vista smoothly.

  Hello and happy holidays to all.

  Please could I get help with my G40?
  The pc hangs and will not work.
  Ccreens lock and I get constant messages that the programs do not respond.

  I ran all the controls, I could find, chkdsk to invite cmd, defragmentation etc. There is no reported problem.

  I used the professional system of mechanic to check the registry and everything else, once again nothing of what should not be expected were reported.

  I ran all the software tests virus and malcious.

  I think I want to restore the pc to factory settings but can't find any option to do so.

  All ideas
  Stafford

  Hello!

  If you want to restore the laptop to factory settings and that you have Vista, you must start from the recovery discs or press F8 at startup and then select Repair my computer and follow the instructions in the menu.
  If you have Windows XP, you have the recovery disks.

  Prior to this, back up your data first. The HARD drive will erase completely.

  I also think it s the best way to reinstall Windows, but you should also check if you have the most recent BIOS:

  Hello

  It seems that this has nothing to do with the laptop but with installed applications.
  Possibly a configuration or compatibility problem

  It's not easy to say what can be the solution, but in the first step, you need to reinstall certain applications as the next step should be a new installation of operating system/update, etc.

  Good luck
