OK - another Vista freezing problem. Does not seem to match anything else I've seen in Forums. Running Home Premuim on a QC HP box. It ran fine for a month or so - so I suspect a virus but all scans/diagnostic show up nothing.
Basically I can run programs when I log in but only for anout 1 min. Therafter I cannot lauch anything - desktop freezes. However the already launched programs work fine. I can surf away on Firefox, open new tabs, download etc. Likewise I can create/send & check mail fine if the mail client was lauched early on. If I minimise these programs though I lose them - the taskbar will not repond like rest of desktop.
CRTL-ALT_DEL works fine, task manager launches but freezes immediately. Logging off is a temp fix - if I cancel the alert about closing multiple Mozilla windows I get to cancel the logoff attempt and regain control - temporarily agiain though.
Seems to work OK if I have no LAN/WAN connection when I log in - have not tested extensively.
AVG scan shows nothing, went through registry repair and disabled all startup programs with cclean - made no difference.
Ideas anyone?
Yes - safe mode seems OK. Driver problem? THough I was pretty sure nothing has changed since it came out of the box I guess somebody else could have OKed an update. What is simplest way of knowing which driver is at fault ?
Thanks
I have a program that is not in add/remove programs that is in control panel called Nero 7 Demo. I want to uninstall it but it do not want.Help me please
Nice link. But no joy. I used MSCONFIG to pare it down to bare minimum. There were about 25 startups, only 3 are enabled now. But result is still the same. I can still get control by logging off and cancelling when it asks me to save the tabs but that is it. When is Windows 7 available ...?
Mate check your event log. I had a issues because of a Raid driver restarting. Could be a service too . I would check the logs. if noting is there i would disable every service and start up application i dont need. Just cos u disable the app doesnt mean the service for it will not run in the background. Hope it helps
