Weird behavior of the computer

Windows XP SP 3
I wake my computer from sleep mode.
Wallpaper is slowly deteriorating with a solid color.
I opened all the windows display little data that it was supposed to-text, input, buttons.  The caused cursor sometimes given to this place to display the cursor was hovering.
Whenever I open a drop-down menu, the computer sounded like an old phone.
Make an entry to a window sometimes caused the program to lock up.
The foregoing was also true for the Windows Task Manager.
I was unable to restart, then I shut it off and turn it back on.  Same behavior.  Finally I was able to reboot and everything was back to normal.  But then it happened again.  Restart - back to normal.
This seems to be the odd behavior of Nastyware, but I did some scans (MalwareBytes and Avast) which are things, but I don't know what to do with them other than quarantine.

I can go back to a System Restore Point, but I would like to know what is happening.
If the technicians have thoughts please let me know.

Hello

·        Since when are you facing this problem?

·        Remember to make changes to the system?

·        What are infections you found on the system?

I suggest that you can run an online virus and malware scan and check the infected files if they are part of a program or toolbars installed on the system etc if it is related to a program, so I suggest you to uninstall the program from the system and check if the problem persists.

As you mentioned in the question, you can also do a system restore to the previous point, when the system worked very well and see if the problem is resolved. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned in the article given below to do a system restore.

How to restore Windows XP to a previous state

Apart from that, I suggest you to download and install Microsoft Security Essentials on the system in order to maintain your system against viruses and other threats. It is easy to install and is free of cost. Click on the link mentioned below for more details.

  • Weird behavior of the wifi service

    My project showed very weird behavior. As in the connection of signals and slots he was segfaults. I posted that in here . Also, I couldn't create a QTimer object. This all happened after I have use some features of the wifi_service.h file. My CPP code file is subsequently

    /*
     * WifiController.cpp
     *
     *  Created on: Jul 4, 2013
     *      Author: Roland
     */
    
    #include "WifiController.hpp"
    #include 
    #include "GeoNotification.hpp"
    WifiController::WifiController() {}
    WifiController::~WifiController() {}
    
    int WifiController::toggleWifiState(bool state)
    {
        getWifiState();
        int status = wifi_set_sta_power(state);
        return status;
    
    }
    int WifiController::getWifiState()
    {
        wifi_status_t *status;
        wifi_get_status(status);
        if(*status == WIFI_STATUS_BUSY)
        {
            return 2;
        }
        if(*status == WIFI_STATUS_RADIO_ON)
        {
            return 1;
        }
        if(*status == WIFI_STATUS_RADIO_OFF)
        {
            return 0;
        }
    
        return 0;
    }
    

    The strangeness begins after I call the getWifiState() function. It fills the fi last statement and returns 0. But after these problems occur. But if I don't call this function then, everything works fine.

    This will produce undefined behavior:

    wifi_status_t *status; // unitialized address
    wifi_get_status(status); // wifi_get_status will write into random memory
    

    wifi_get_status waiting for an address of the variable to write to:

    wifi_status_t status;
    wifi_get_status(&status); // & takes the address of status
    

    You will also need to check the return value of wifi_get_status. An example of code:

  • Behavior of the computer after the conversion of XP

    Hi all!

    I just upgraded my IdeaPad to Windows XP SP2. (Y510 - 1.83 GHz dual core - 160 GB HDD - 2 GB RAM - nVidia 256MB - Bluetooth - wireless A/G/N) All Lenovo drivers have been installed successfully with the exception of the touchpad (which works in any case with the generic driver). I also installed a subscription anti-virus McAfee 8.5I perpetual (for life). This is so my concerns... If anyone knows anyway to diagnose these problems, let me know!

    1. seeing piles (near the hinge) do not work.
    2 USB transfers are significantly slower. (For example, to a 7200 RPM disk external DRIVE with USB 2.0)
    3 Windows 'Automatic updates' can not be turned on. (When I tap "activate" Automatic Updates Control Panel window hangs and I have to ctrl-alt-del and kill it manually)

    Furlong:

    Thank you for your comments! It turns out that I discovered in fact the solution at least two problems last night.

    Simply, I redid my installation of Windows. After you have installed the Lenovo drivers, I welcomed Windows Update to download everything she wanted (approximately 100 updates, during about 5 cycles of reboot) BEFORE installing McAfee.

    It eliminated my problem of updates automatic and lo and behold... the battery lights came on also!

    I don't really know my USB transfer speed. It just seemed slow in general, but maybe I was overlooking something... in Vista, the file transfer progress bar usually fills up very quickly and then crashes (a lot) just before the transfer is completed. I think it comes down to the same time period.

    But maybe you can answer me this... is it really necessary to install SP3? As it is known as an update "critical", it seems pretty useless to do.

  • Weird behavior of Safari Dock icon

    For several months now, I noticed a weird behavior of the Safari icon on the dock.

    Note: I have the Safari Dock permanently icon in the dock if the application is running or not for quick access.

    With open Safari, after periods of inactivity or after the awakening of the mode standby, the icon will lose the small black dot on the bottom that indicates an active application.

    By clicking on the icon or a .webloc file reveals that Safari is still active, but because the icon does not animate as it does when it is launched.

    How can I fix and when Safari * is * open its Dock icon indicates that it * all the time *?

    Probably also related...

    All too often, after similar as scenarios above, Safari actually leave - all on its own.

    How can I fix this too?

    Safari has also been freezing quite often lately have to be re-launched or sometimes requiring a restart of the computer system.

    Something is not.

    Go step by step and test.

    1. Disable Extensions and test them.

    Safari > Preferences > Extensions

    Uncheck 'Enable the Extension' and test.

    Enable the Extensions one by one and test.

    To uninstall any extension, select it and click the "Uninstall" button

    2. Quit Safari if it is open.

    Hold down the option key and click on the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

    Select 'Library', then 'Caches.

    Find the folder "com.apple.Safari".

    Right-click on "com.apple.Safari" and select "move to trash".

    Restart Safari.

    3 remove the test and com.apple.Safari.plist file.

    Empty the trash.

    Quit all applications.

    Hold down the option key and click on the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

    Select 'Library' in the menu dropdown.

    Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist

    Right-click on it and select "place it in the trash.

    Close the Finder window.

    Turn it back on.    Restart Safari.

    If this does not help, "put back" the com.apple.Safari.plist

    Right click on the trash icon in the Dock, then select 'open '.

    Right-click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select 'Put Back'.

  • Weird reading during the use of Stream.play ("mp3:file")

    Hello!

    I am trying to set up a selection side server for playback of mp3 files, if I fall into a weird behavior of the FMS.

    I use the last FMS 4.0.2

    Here's how I try to publish the stream (ActionScript on the server side):

    var s = Stream.get ("boo");

    If (s) {s.play ("mp3:rhcp", 0) ;}}

    Client side, I try to play using NetStream.play ("boo"). However, the sound quality that I get is really weird. The sound goes slower and faster and stops for a split second. He can play properly for a few seconds, but that's all. Sounds like a problem of decoder for me, or a bitrate conversion problem.

    When I play the stream with NetStream.play ("mp3:rhcp"), the reading goes well.

    I tried several MP3s with different flow rates, but they all have the same problem.

    It looks like a bug to me, so I'm expecting Adobe to comment on this one.

    Hello

    Please try the FMS 4.0.2

    It is a little strange to see the problem, but I would like to know your settings on the client side. What player flash you use (although I doubt that it is a question that your reading of the original file is ok), and what is the length of the buffer that you used? There are known issues with the length of the buffer to 0. Can you try and change the length of the buffer in some other values and see if that helped to get the best quality?

    Thank you!

  • The sound is missing and other weird behavior

    Original title: is not very computer savvy.

    Hello

    My computer seems ti have something wrong with it. He has lost all the sounds and really strange things. For example, it won't let me go in my account hotamil. It freezes and I have to shut down the computer, also when I open word 2010, told me that I must go to my control panel to solve the problem. I tried to make a recovery and take it back to earlier date and it does this through and restarts then to say an error has occurred while he was and nothing has changed.

    I'm not the smartest when it comes of this substance and the thought that it might be useful to put there before I take it to someone.

    Thank you for your time.

    T.

    I think it would be more sensible to run some decent scans for malware first, then start solving the remaining problems.

    He doesn't has any sense to try to arrange things on a system having malware on it (does?).

    What do you currently use for antimlaware/antivirus software?


    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    Tell us a little about the patient:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Once MBAM and SAS run clean, we can fix the remaining issues with at least some conviction that there is no obvious malware on the system.

  • Phone Boot - Auto on USB to the computer?

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone had seen this quirk...

    1. I let my Moto-X run to the bottom of the battery until it stops.


    2. I then plugged my charger USB (not a computer)


    3. When it reached about 80% then I unplugged and plugged into my USB connected to my MacBook hub


    4. The phone then started by itself without having to push the power button.

    For me, it's weird behaviors and I have never seen where one of my phones did in the past. Feel when he settled with a USB charger to a USB hub that is connected to a computer, it automatically starts...

    Is this normal? If so, is there a way to prevent this? I wanted to reload completely my phone before using it, but that will not happen if this keeps the cause...

    Thank you!

    There are two types of cable - support cables and PC Sync cables. Now most of the time you get only the PC sync cable.

    When the phone load bootstrap and it detects a PC sync cable it will automatically start in the operating system. It is a 'feature' of recovery so that you reach fastboot or for a full boot if the display does not work (this is the explanation given for me). I have four phones spanning 3 years motorcycle variants and they all behave this way.

    If the PC sync cable is plugged into a wall charger, data pins are inactive and belt of startup of the phone determines that it is solely in charge mode.

    If you have a charge only cable and plugged into your MBP the phone would not be spinning-globe and boot to the OS.

  • Weird behavior of Firefox in Facebook when scrolling down

    Hello

    My Firefox has a weird behavior when I open Facebook and start to scroll, I have attached two images, first image is when I open facebook, everything is ok (I dimmed the contacts), second image is when I start scrolling down, you will see square masive black with blue navigation. That happens only when firefox is "enlarged" and not with windows. I also try to disable all addons or run firefox in safe mode I have also reinstalled it and the problem is still there. Have any suggestions, which could be bad, also if forgot to tell you that any information not hesitate to ask and I will it provide.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • USB stick not recognized by the computer. Have tried all the options I can think about.

    Very well.  I have a S-Mini Patriot 32 GB flash drive that does not recognize my HP Slimline 400-434 Windows 8.1. In my view, he acknowledged once and has refused to do since. My laptop (Windows 7 Toshiba) recognizes very well.

    All other devices USB function perfectly on this computer. USB hub mouse, keyboard, USB, cable Apple iPhone.

    1. I tried to unplug all other USB devices before trying this one. IN CASE OF FAILURE

    2. I went to device management and the USB does not appear in the list. IN CASE OF FAILURE

    3. I uninstalled the USB root hubs and restarted the computer. IN CASE OF FAILURE

    4. I tried to plug in the USB ports on the back that plug directly into the motherboard. IN CASE OF FAILURE

    5. I have updated the drivers, and have been unable to find a update of the BIOS as the link on the HP download site and told that it is incompatible to my computer. IN CASE OF FAILURE

    .. then what the hell gorram bloody I do now?

    Good and the most ridiculous way, I never solved a technical problem...

    Failed to insert the USB flash in the port. She has to insert slowly, so that the contacts are aligned.

    I found it trying to connect to it in my USB hub and noting that the witness red light was going on and outside that I inserted the USB key, flicker on as I inserted it there and then off once it is all the way in.

    Weird. But good. It works now.

  • Weird behavior with Signal to simulate and loops

    I'm having a weird behavior with Signal to simulate and while loops. Attached a photo of my program. The problem I have is that when I use Stop to stop inside while loop, then use to restart the inner loop, simulate Signal instantly generates a bunch of points of data between when I pressed Stop and Go. By example, if I stop for 5 seconds, wait 5 seconds, then press Go, it will instantly generate data for t = 5 t = 10. What I need is for the generation of signals to stop when I press stop and continue where it left off when I press Go. How can I accomplish this? I have no idea why he exhibits the behavior described in the first place.

    Hi optometry.

    Can you give us a screenshot of the configuration window for the VI express to simulate signal? I was able to reproduce the problem when I used "Simulate the time of acquisition" at times, but the VI's are featured as you described you wanted when I used "run as fast as possible."
