Why csrss.exe freezes all other programs that are running when it is active?

I don't know what to say here. I have an ASUS Intel duo Core Windows Vista OS and when I read the e-mail or watching Facebook, play WoW or just generally surf on the internet and the active process other programs freeze and I have to restart the program.

I've read several channels that talk about the possibility of malware, and I have a current copy of Norton Antivirus and Malwarebytes, more I ran the quick scan of MRT and none of these show that I have a malware.

Any suggestions?

What do you mean by activation of csrss.exe? What program you restart?

Csrss.exe is responsible for the separation and process and thread creation. I think that all activity on his part would be a symptom rather than the cause of the problem you are experiencing.

This name has been used by malware to disguise himself. You can check if this copy is the real version of Microsoft looking where he was charged with the Task Manager. Go to view > select columns, look for the command line entry. It will show as C:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe if this is the true copy of Microsoft. Another thing would be malware.

You can try to use the clean boot to diagnose the cause of the problem:

  • What is the best way to properly activate the Lightroom Student Edition? Is the edition of students a permanent program, or it disables it after that student 2-4 years, as some other programs which are the versions?

    I just bought the student Lightroom edition! I am very happy to use it and start creating beautifully modified pictures, but I'm a little unsure on a few things. He says that I have to prove my eligibility to use student edition which won't be a problem, but what is the way the faster and easier to present this evidence? I also fear that the student edition will be temporary and I have purchased this program only to have it end after 4 years as some other programs that are student versions. Is the student a permanent program of Lightroom edition that I will have for life or it will turn off after I graduate?

    When I bought my academic version of Lightroom, it's a whole package. Inside was a yellow card with instructions on how to check that I qualified for the academic discount. I presented my academic e-mail address and other info, as requested on this yellow card. Less than 5 min. I received my serial number. Very simple. I had no problem whatsoever.

    There is only one version of the program Lightroom itself. The only difference lies in granting licenses and pricing. If you are eligible for the academic discount, by all means use it. You buy the same Lightroom program that someone else does. It does not expire, there are no missing features, and it can be upgraded when new major versions are available. These updates will cost the same as they cost to anyone else, regardless of how they bought Lightroom.

    You can move confidently until you have received your serial number. The only thing you do differently pays an initial purchase price lower because of your academic status.

  • Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    I changed the subject: config to make the rotation gesture to move between tabs and it worked great for well over a year. It now behaves properly, as described here:

    https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598

    It used to be very controllable move a tab on, now it is erratic and moves quickly and the unexpected tabs regardless of the slowness, I do the gesture of rotation. It's the main reason I use Firefox on Chrome and I will continue to do so unless there is no solution for this.

    Just put the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

  • All my programs that once displayed in programs and features are no longer the

    Also, I wonder why all my programs that, once appear on programs and features and now no longer?

    Seems that the x 86 programs disappeared.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    `

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.
