Windows 7 will not be closed. URGENT.

Whenever I try to stop, restart, or put my laptop to sleep, the screen simply goes and it freezes, but never stops. This does not happen when I start in safe mode. I've recently upgraded to 7 Home Premium to Vista. 2.10 GB of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 105 M map graphic, IDT Audio Drivers and PC Tools running as spyware. In addition, Windows Explorer crashes constantly, almost whenever I do a right-click on the desktop. Help! (Need this ASAP for school.)

Thank you, Jon

Okay so after getting help on another forum for windows 7, I found that you can do a clean install / custom Windows 7 from a upgrade disc, if you start from the disc. After the start of the disc, I upgraded all my drivers from the HP site, and its works perfectly.

as said by a person on the other forum, upgrade on an existing operating system is ALWAYS a bad idea. do a custom installation automatically saves all your old files in a "windows.old" file as well, so you lose nothing (except for the few hours to put it back where it was). so, a CUSTOM SETUP from the disk if you experience this problem.

  • Pavilion dv6-1350us Entertainm: Pavilion dv6-1350 us running Windows 7 will not be closed

    Have not used my laptop for the last 45 days and have not installed anything new. W7, 64-bit running. Just used on these days and it will not be closed. When I stopped it just hangs and displays that says: "if it please do not turn off or unplug your machine. Installation of update 1 of 1 ". This can last for hours.

    I stop it manually with the power button which of course translates message when I start again that «Windows did not close properly»

    I thought that since I had not used the computer laptop or literally turned on for about 45 days, that maybe I was missing a few important Windows updates, but when I go to Windows update via Control Panel and click on Windows Update to search for updates, it "just hangs" it thus, showing never updates available. Last update of the W installed was 26/03/16 and laptop worked OK.

    Any ideas?

    I downloaded ccleaner pro (first edition) and scanned the hard drive. I checked 'fix all issues' and it worked! Whatever files or conflicts on the register or wherever was causing the 'hang up' were eliminated obviously that my laptop was able to stop. :-)

    Computer was fine until these last days and turns off will not. That I disconnect and it will close, but the screen stays on the same message and I have to hold in the power button for 5 seconds to close

    Shutdown problems are usually caused by a program or process that won't come out gracefully. The program or process may be against malware, or may be legitimate (for example a pervasive like Norton or McAfee antivirus). If you use Norton or McAfee product, uninstall it and replace it with a better program like NOD32, Kasperksy or Avast (free). The Windows Firewall is enough for most people. Shutdown problems can also be caused by old/badly written drivers so make sure that all drivers are updated, especially on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

    A.the first step should always ensure that your computer is free of viruses/malware.

    B. If the computer is free of viruses/malware, the drivers are current, and no program Norton or McAfee is installed, then do boot minimum troubleshooting to see what program/process is the culprit:

  • Windows XP will not finish closing

    I have Version 2.0.4 (159196) merger and normally I have no problems.  First of this program installed on my Macbook Pro and the other day I opened the merger/windowsxp and some other programs, it is on the side of my Mac, when it was time to go to bed I closed the lid on my Mac, and the next morning, I opened the hood, read my mail and did a few other things on the Mac side.  So I opted for the windows form, and it says that Windows has been stop, stop ok I really should not use windows.  Later I went back and he said the same thing, as it froze.  I have quite fusion strength and stop my computer, when I've reworded my mac and went to the merger, he said has been shut down windows.  I can't reach to stop, there is no place where to click to force windows to close and open the merger.  If anyone can help... Thanks Kathy

    Hi Kathy,

    As you suggest, it seems that Windows froze. This occurs on physical computers, too, but at least there, you have a power switch. For a virtual machine, you must force to turn off; This article (and video) will guide you through the process: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006215. If you're curious about how this works, I recommend the article from the link in the additional information section.

    Either way, you mention that you're under Fusion 2.0.4. I strongly recommend that you update your version, as there have been several bug fixes and performance fixes since then. You can download 2.0.8 Fusion now, for free, here: https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=FUS-208&productId=49&rPId=1540. Stop your virtual machine before upgrade you, but the process should be pretty painless.

    You should consider upgrading to the latest version of released Fusion, Fusion 4. It cannot be run on older versions of MacOS Snow Leopard version, but it is much faster than Fusion 2. It is an upgrade, you need to buy, but you can try a free trial 30 days here: http://www.vmware.com/go/tryfusion.

  • Windows 8 will not be closed

    I have been using Windows 8 for awhile now. Why can't I shut down my computer? I go into settings, then tap the power and picked off, but nothing happens. Can someone tell me why?

    I have two computers 64-bit of Windows 8 and I got the closed program hangs (and down/restart) on one of them.  Both have AMD and Norton Internet Security chips in 2013, but problems only happened on my old office.

    My short term solution was downgrade to NIS 2012 on the desk and I have not had problems since.  If your configuration is similar, you could try this and see if it helps.

  • (Redirected) Alienware x 51 will not be closed. Fans and lights still on. Can not enter the BIOS at startup.

    Hello

    My Alienware x 51 will not be closed properly. Fan and lights constantly. I need to hold the powerbutton to shut it down.

    Its an Alienware X-51-purchased around June 2012.
    GeForce GTX 555
    Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3, 40GHz
    8.00 GB OF RAM
    Windows 7 Home Premium

    The problem started when I upgraded my BIOS version A06 to A13 (running A14 now). Now, whenever I turned off my computer, the lights are still up and the fan runs. In order to stop completely, I have to press the "switch" button.

    My warranty expired a year ago.

    Anyone know how to fix this? I suspect there is something wrong with my motherboard, since I can't even get into the BIOS setup when I start my computer.

    Has anyone tried to replace the motherboard? What type of motherboard do need me? Is it possible to buy the "original" Alienware mobo?

    I hope someone is able to help. Comments or suggestions are welcome.
