Why is my system hangs for 20 minutes?

• System hangs for a minute when sending emails in Windows Mail.

  Original title: Windows Mail problem.

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • When I try and create e-mail or reply to a message, the system hangs for a minute before moving forward
  • Error messages - if you try and press the button create again, he says not responding do not
  • Recent changes made to your computer - no recent changes
  • What you have already tried to fix the problem - nothing
  Ensure that Avast is not set to analyze them.  That happens for every email or only the first message that you create?  Responses take longer?  You have a large list of contacts or a large number of fonts installed?  Both of these can slow down WinMail.
   
  In addition, after the removal of Norton, you must set the mail settings for the account, so its best to remove the e-mail account, close and reopen WinMail, and then add it again.

  I got rid of Norton and actually put on Avast anti virus lately. As I said when I hit Create Mail I get a message saying "windows mail does not" and then after about 45 seconds it comes up and I can send emails. I used this Windows Mail utility (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) to compact and repair the database and it has not changed much.

• 16 Firefox hangs for a minute to access some Web pages, I think that they all use Flash

  I installed Firefox 16.0.1 yesterday. I was running 15 earlier in the day and it was fine. However, 16 FF started suddenly hanging for about a minute when I try to access some Web sites. It thaws fine after this minute, no crashes or anything like that, but it is very irritating. From what I can tell, it seems to do this on pages that use Flash. I have the latest version installed, and it made no difference. I tried downgrading to 15 FF and it's always the same. Anyone know what is happening?
  Thank you

• Satellite L650 - 1 HM hangs for a minute or two to stop

  I have a year and 3 months old Toshiba L650 - 1 HM, being the most recent execution of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x 64 and Linux x86_64 Fuduntu 2012.1, I have updated the bios and all drivers I could find to try to solve this problem, but so far nothing has worked.

  My guess is the closing delay is caused either by ethernet or wireless boards because then the closure of Fuduntu, it hangs on the "closure of NetworkManager: _" systematic before resuming the shutdown sequence.

  This happens in windows and Linux.

• System froze for a minute while searching for a missing network drive

  When, for example, browse the files in the Windows Explorer home & network is disconnected, the system tends to freeze for half a minute, as it is waiting for the sharing network address. No processes are active in the Manager of tasks (idling only), but the computer is devoid. This happens on any PC, computers cell phones not only. Does anyone know how to get rid of this behavior, or at least to shorten the waiting period?
  There is a solution to disconnect network drives, but I would like to find something more simple.

  Hello

  Looks like you have mapped some network drives to your operating system.
  I think if you're looking for files or something like that OS trying to get permission to search or enter the network drives.
  But if the network is disconnected from the operating system takes several times to see that.

  I put t know if there is a solution for these issues. But try to google for more details. Maybe you about success. Please report if you find useful information

  Good luck

• Printer hangs for a minute on the last page, then ends.

  My HP Deskjet printer, driven by my HP Pavilion p6112p and using Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit) with Service Pack 2, freezes in the middle of the last page for more than a minute, then restarts.  I replaced the drivers and he has contributed a few prints, but he came back.  What should I do now?

  Hi OlderNavy,

  I want to help you with your Deskjet. First post please returns with the answers to these questions.

  1. Is the printer connected wirelessly or with a USB cable?
  2. The printer is connected directly to a wall outlet or a surge protector? (It is preferable to connect directly on the wall)
  3. You have all other printers HP installed on this computer? If so, do you still have the printers?

  While I wait for you, if you have not already tried the HP print and Scan doctor, do it and let me know the results. You will see a key, a yellow exclamation point, a red X, or a checkbox then each point tested.

• KB2770816 fails and "Configuration Windows Updates" hangs for 30 minutes at the stop/restart to 15%

  Hi Chris,

  It would be great if you remember to do it when you return, there is no problem for me to wait before the end of the month.

  I'll catch up with you then.

  Kind regards

  Chris.

  Hi everyone who has problems with the installation of patch number KB2770816 especially those with a Medion computer. I had this problem since early August and contacted Microsoft. They worked on my PC in the last two days and have now to rectify the problem. They will post how to solve this problem in due course. The information on the pages of the community regarding the evolution of the registry entries are incomplete. Until the correct information is available, I would recommend that 'hide you' this update to avoid delays when you restart your PC, etc. After you installed the updates. I can not praise Microsoft technicians quite strongly on how they have dealt with this problem for me and would recommend others to use its easy when things go wrong.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Windows 7 32-bit slow start of blue circle hangs on the network icon in the tray for 10 minutes, some programs don't load until the problem resolves.

  Hello world.

  It will be long and windy.

  I have a problem with my Dell XPS M1530.

  im going to write down the details of my question, short first. so if you want you can read my short story on my laptop and I.

  • Slow start.
  • Network at startup initialization problem.
  • Blue circle weighs on my network icon in the taskbar notification for 10 minutes or more. then she disappears with the problem that everything starts to operate correctly.
  • some startup programs do not start until the issue is resolved. (blue circle disappears) i.e. Dell touchpad, magic disc, pda.net and perhaps language bar.
  • programs that have to do with the network or the internet such as IE or center network to hang until the issue is resolved.
  • Some programs won't load if started up that the problem is solved. i.e. open office, cakewalk sonar.

  Another thing, I noticed. If I have automatic network connection configuration and the network is in range when I launch firefox I can actually serf the web regardless of the question.

  I'm not the only one having this problem, but solutions that work for some do not work for me. some of the things I've tried to understand.

  • has run msconfig to see if it is one of the start up programs or cervix causing the problem. found nothing.
  • has ran the command cmd, I forgot what's it called some thing/something else. It digitizes and restores the registers according to me. did not help
  • Used pc AVG scanner. then corrected all the errors found and the questions. did not help.
  • reinstalled the network drivers. did not help.
  • Ran startup recovery tool to fix problems at the beginning. did not help.
  • Booted up my laptop in SafeMode with network. Works very well

  Also, the problem started not with win 7 install I had it on my laptop well before the Enigma.

  im running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. as if lately, about 3 months ago, my laptop started to start slowly and be laggy when the system boots. I have no much attention at first. Since the question does not disappear on its own, I noticed that my network in the notification bar icon has a blue circle probably because its network initialization or loading something that is bound to it something as is. After about 10 minutes the issue resolves itself and everything works fine until I have reboot or restart. also if I put my laptop to sleep when I start it it works fine. I think that the time to resolve that issue got longer it is about 10 min now but it used a lot less. at least that's what I recall. In addition, I noticed a few more things. If I left click on the network icon does nothing when normally it will display network connections. If I right click on it displays troubleshooting and Open Network and Sharing Center. Troubleshooting doesn't help and returns nothing. Network and sharing Center is suspended until the problem resolves. in fact, some programs won't load until it the problem goes away like internet explore, network and sharing virtually Center almost everything what has to do with the network and also other programs that require a little more resources e.g. cakewalk Sonar. In addition, other startup programs and services such as Dell touch pad, magic disk, PDA. NEt don't start until after the problem goes away. What else... the kicker is that while the issue is to present the networks I connect to automatically are in fact very well and I have internet, even though the network is still initializing. what I mean is that if I start my portable firefox and launch (cannot use IE because he hangs up) I can go online and the serf of the web.

  Well, I am at a loss and don't know what to do next, except to format and clean install. However, people who did it until the problem was which leads me to believe that this is one of the windows updates may be.

  If someone knows how to fix this problem or can give a kind of constructive contribution, I'm all ears.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Kosmosis,

  I had the same problem, and after fishing trawl through the web to find answers, this is the most reliable solution that I found. At the very least, it will help to determine where the problem is.

  (1) reboot your computer.

  (2) go to Run--> services.msc

  (3) to sort the list by status (click the heading)

  (4) see those blocked at the 'boot '? These are your incriminated objects.

  Apparently, Windows has problems initializing services, and until he solves, or give up, he can't go the rest of the startup procedure. Different people get stuck on different things. For me, it was the 'Server' service as jams it for 20 minutes or more.

  You have 2 options:

  Right click 1)--> properties and change the Startup Type to "automatic (Delayed). This requires to load later, that hopefully allows all the rest at the end of initialization so that you can use the computer first.

  (2) read the Description of the service and see if you can find whats causing it to get stuck. In my case, 'Server' rule of network discovery, file sharing and printing. I realized that I UNPLUGGED a NAS from Buffalo, who worked as a print server as well. My windows was blocked to find a printer on a network that was no longer available. Remove the printer from devices solved the problem.

  If all else fails, you can always try to disable the service. This is probably not the best reccomendation, like its there for a reason, but it might help you to troubleshoot.

  Note: Use caution when installing codecs that you find on the Internet, in particular some of the free codec packs that claim to include codecs from a wide variety of companies or organizations. Incompatibilities are known to exist with some of the components in these codec packs that can cause serious playback issues in the player and other players, lead to the corruption of the system and make it difficult for Support from Microsoft to diagnose and solve playback problems. For these reasons, we strongly discourage you from installing these codec packs, and recommend that remove you them if you have installed them and you are having problems with the player. Install only codecs, filters or plug-ins from reliable sources, authorized, such as the website of the official supplier. Even in this case, beware: some codec suppliers offer minimal customer. Before you install the components of digital media, set a system restore point. The restore point to go back to the configuration of your system, if necessary.

  Please keep us updated.

  Thank you

• Why Adobe Acrobat hangs for a few seconds when first creating text box?

  I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.11.

  Usually, whenever I do the first text box after awhile since I finally used Adobe, it hangs for 5 seconds. Would it be a matter of Adobe or a hardware problem?

  These symptoms result from a combination of the internal architecture of Acrobat and your hardware configuration.

  When the first load of Acrobat when you explicitly call Acrobat or when you double-click a PDF file, only the minimum part of the program which is required to view a PDF file is initially loaded into memory. This excludes the required modules to support the myriad of features that supports Acrobat, including forms, preflight, signatures, editing PDF files, etc. What if all the code needed to be charged at time of initial start Acrobat, that the starting time would be too long! However, this additional code is loaded as needed. It is the reason why you see the delay of the first time you create a text box and not for the following text boxes.

  In addition, when you close your last document, Acrobat isn't immediately shutdown. For example, if you double-click a PDF file for a short time after you think that acrobat is is no longer running, it quickly shows your PDF file and even the creation of the first text box will not only delay you previously registered.

  This brings the question of how can you minimize the delay? There are several factors at work here. The first is the amount of memory real you have on your system. If you have many programs running and not a lot of memory, you end up with a virtual memory with the page fly resultant defects requiring operations on disc for you get the memory required by Acrobat and program memory pages that are stored on the disk. Then of course, the speed of your disks makes a difference both dealing with management as well as the portions remaining Acrobat loading of virtual memory needed for editing functions you call. A disk 5400 RPM is much slower than a 7200 RPM drive, which in turn is very slow compared to a SSD (solid state disk). And if you do not have a SSD and your magnetic disk drive is fragmented, more disk performance suffers. Bottom line is that adequate main memory and a disk capacity and speed higher will help. And if your drive is not an SSD, defragment your drive on a regular basis.

  PS: Protected mode or repair your installation of Acrobat are irrelevant here!
