Windows 7 pro take 15 minutes of power on Ctrl-Alt-Del

I have several machines that used to be on XP pro with no problems. With XP end of life we have been to modernize our systems for Win 7 Pro. With a new installation, the operating system takes 15 1/2 minutes of power on the log on screen. It will make all the way to the Windows logo, where it will freeze, and then 13 minutes later, she resumed, connect.

Assuming it was a memory problem (they were all on 2 GB of memory), we upped the memory to 4 GB, but the problem persisted. Then, we started to replace hard drives, also with no improvement.

What is strange, is that some of these computers to boot with no problem and others crash, but they all have the same model (Dell GX520) and they are all using the same components. The problem of interruption could be linked to the age of the hardware, or the chip (chip Intel 4 CPU 3.00 GHz)?

Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site and search for Windows 7 drivers for your specific model number.

GX520: http://ftp.dell.com/Pages/Drivers/optiplex-gx520.html

If there is no driver, your PC may not work correctly (No. LAN or WiFi, Audio, USB, etc.) after the installation of Windows 7. You can search the Web for Windows 7 drivers or try a Vista driver such as the chipset driver and see if that helps.

If there are Windows 7 drivers, then to download to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them, starting with the card drivers mother/chipset, LAN, Audio, USB, Graphics, SATA, Webcam, Etc., and so on.

    When I click on anything it either in the Outlook Express Preview window to stop answer and I have use the ctrl-alt-del combination for her all over again. Anyone out there have the same problem? If so what did you do about it.

    Original title: I'm under Oulook Express 6 Windows XP Home SP3 environment.

    Bruce:

    The problem has been fixed (I think) but in a most unusual way. Let me explain.

    When I was closing down to give the computer a rest yesterday, there was a pop up saying that vprotector expected to close. He really wanted the process of closing until I clicked on finish the process. Curious to know what vprotector is, I searched on the net and got a lot of shots, saying: it is a virus and should be deleted pronto. So I searched the hard drive for the vprot. * and found in the folder program files for AVG!

    I then went to AVG to see if it's really a part of AVG and they said yes. If there is a problem with vprot, the toolbar is at fault and needs to be reinstalled. There was one click here to download and run the part of the program to fix the problem. However, I had WebRoot antivirus running that stopped the download of this program as a virus. Because I trust AVG, I've disabled WebRoot and reinstalled the AVG search bar.

    I haven't restarted WebRoot and computer flying along as it should, and OE is the link to IE when I click on a link as it has always done.

    Seems to me to be the faulty AVG toolbar and a cross with two virus programs upward was at fault. Thank you for your time. Your reply gave me a chance to think differently this problem could arise.

    Computers are really complicated machines and we have to be complicated to deal with their problems.

    Thanks again,

  • When I turn on my pc win xp pro, I keep getting disk error press ctrl alt del to restart. any ideas as it is common on some internet forums, but no one has ideas a solution.

    Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

    Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

    On tests of hardware failures often alleged swapping parts by parts checked. If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).

  • Satellite Pro 4600: disk-read error occurs - press Ctrl Alt Del to restart

    I have a Pro 4600 which displays the error message "a disk read error has occurred. Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart "as soon as TOSHIBA logo goes.

    The laptop was given to me because the person who had tried to move to XP Pro and don't could not make it work, error with the CD Rom drive and she deleated the old OS (Win2000) off the coast.

    I took the hard drive and did a fresh install of XP by attaching the drive to another computer. The hard disk starts well on the other computer, but I get the error message on the Pro 4600.
    Any ideas. I know that I need to replace the CD Rom, but if I can't make it work, I don't want to drop money in it for a new CD Rom

    Thank you, Bob

    Hello

    Are you sure that the CD drive is dead?
    I have goggled a bit on the net and found some practical information that there may be some HDD malfunction.
    Some guys advised to use the command CHKDSK C: /R to solve this problem.

    But if it's a cd player error, it should be possible to disable the drive in Device Manager.

  • CTRL Alt Del does not work Windows 2015 10 rMBP

    Hi all

    I have a MacBook Pro for Windows 10 15 "Bootcamped retina.

    CTRL Alt Del does not, any more than the function keys (brightness, mute, etc.).

    I tried to manually reinstall the keyboard driver. It installs ok but does not solve the problem.

    On Reddit, a user suggested that another user with the same problem should do a Bootcamp driver repair.

    However, when I go in the Bootcamp Assistant I get only the possibility to restore the volume.

    My best guess is that the Bootcamp Driver repair fix it if I could access.

    Does not mention that this is the model of 2015.

    Your system could be achieved a malware.

    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..

    Some malicious software is aware of the methods you're most likely to use to find and remove it (Task Manager, System Restore, command prompt, Internet, Google, etc.)

    The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.

    The malware is happier when he let you think you need to use system restore, a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch to fix your system when none of this is necessary.

    You can fool the malware (and then fix it).

    Assuming that your Windows is installed on your drive C, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32 and locate taskmgr.exe.

    Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize.  I like to call the copy:

    c:\windows\system32\jose.exe

    Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens now.

    The problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a running process in order to thwart you all (I have a feeling that he will well a day on jose.exe).

    Will not 'fix' your task manager, but at least you will know whether or not the Task Manager mechanism works (taskmgr.exe still not start properly).  If you try to remove some malware and the need to use the Task Manager, you can simply launch jose.exe (double-click) instead, but will be still infected your system.

    Usually, there are a few other things that also don't work you would like to know later, so I recommend you do this:

    Reduce the risk of malware by running some scans.

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, restart, test your task manager and we can repair any other pending issues.

    If things look good, you can delete the c:\windows\system32\jose.exe file.

  • Windows will start, the screen starts flashing and then the screen say Logging Off, then restore the screen to the CTRL ALT DEL all other functions will not work.

    Start my computer, it will default to the CTRL ALT DEL screen.  After graduating in the login screen I enter the password.  Windows will start and then the screen starts flashing and the screen say Logging Off, then restore the screen to the CTRL ALT DEL I can boot into safe mode.  All other functions will not work.

    Thank you

    I guess you wanted to ask how to solve the problem. If then all in Safe Mode you can use system restore to set up Windows to a point when the problem did not exist.

  • Why pressing Ctrl + Alt + DEL to join a windows logon is considered to be a more secure logon process?

    Why pressing Ctrl + Alt + DEL to join a windows logon is considered to be a more secure logon process?

    Hi Stuckfree,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    From your description, I understand that you want to know why the keys Ctrl + Alt + Delete is considered a secure method.

    1 if your computer is part of a domain, the domain-wide policies may have been set that override settings that you apply on the local computer.

    2 disable the CTRL + ALT + DELETE sequence creates a "security breach." The CTRL + ALT + DELETE sequence can be read by Windows, ensures that the information in the logon dialog box that follows can be read by Windows. This can prevent programs unauthorized access to the computer.

    3. the MS-DOS-based computers (and some older UNIX-based systems), by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE wins the attention of the BIOS, causing a reboot of 'hot'. You can use the keyboard to shut down the operating system. On Windows computers (start with Microsoft Windows NT), the CTRL + ALT + DELETE sequence is intercepted by Windows. The advantage of the typing technique initially is to help prevent Windows is stopped by someone who doesn't have access to.

  • CTRL-Alt-Del give Task Manager vs Windows Security

    In the Windows XP computer, Ctrl-Alt-Delete displays the Windows security group, I can quickly and conveniently lock it the screen.  On another Windows XP computer, it brings up the Task Manager.  Bleah.  How can I change so that I get the Windows Security Committee?

    IIRC, the difference in behavior for CTRL + ALT + DELETE depends on whether you have the screen of welcome (and with fast user switching).

    You can also use Windows key + L to lock the computer.
