System Stops Functioning
Mar 19, 2010
I have a Fujutsu Siemens Amilo Pi Laptop.. I run Vista Premium Home 32 Bits. Service Pack 2. Intel Core 2 duo CPU T7100 @ 1.80 GHz 1.80 GHz Memory: 2GB. But everytime when i'm working on it for a while it stops functioning.. ( for about 30 minutes ). I went to a computer shop and said they would fix it for me.. but when i got it back they said everything is working fine. does anyone know how i can fix it myself? I think it has something to do with my hard drive.. cuz when i'm working in office word i save it multiple times but when i open it later i find out it haven't been saved for a while..

I am trying to open jpeg image files from a CD on my new Vista PC laptop and it is not working. I think I burned them on a Mac - there is a small red Apple icon on the disc drive icon. I can see the jpeg files in the disc folder but can't open them by double-clicking the jpeg icons - nothing happens. I can't import them into Windows Photo Gallery. When I drag and drop them into Photoshop, it just opens blank white jpeg of the same dimensions. If I try to open them from within Photoshop, I get the error message: "A device attached to the system is not functioning". I can't copy the files onto my computer. I can open the images in Windows XP and Windows 2000, just not Vista. I assume the problem is because the discs were burned on a Mac (I could be wrong).

I have a Asus pro80 series laptop with Vista 32 bit. I connect using the ethernet Lan. Uptil about one month ago averything was fine. Since then my Connection after about 10 to 20 minutes slows right down until it stops. It dosn't actually disconnect from my provider. it just stops. If I dis-connect and re-connect then it will work again for a while. Then stops.
What I have tried so far: Updated the drivers for the realtek ethernet. Reinstalled Vista Installed the vista service pack 1 Checked power settings for the ethernet card. Other info: I know that the connection its self is ok as i use the same cable for my works laptop without any problem. Hardware manager says all is running correctly Changing user has no impact.

I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced these annoying freezes that occur randomly in Vista 64. It can happen while I'm playing a game, it can happen while I'm browsing firefox etc. I freeze up about 4 times a day and the only solution is a hard restart.
It is beyond me, I have the video card drivers up to snuff, all updates are installed, virus scanners/spyware scanners, video card isn't overheating, CPU idles at 33 loads at 42. I'll describe the problem a little better other than to just say it's freezing. When the freeze occurs, the entire screen stops moving, I cannot move my mouse, all sound stops working, and if there was a sound playing, it will get mutilated into a nasty buzz.

Firefox frequently stops working and this seems to have something to do DEP (Data Execution Prevention) as the DEP icon appears in th system tray after each crash. I have tried to turn off DEP for Firefox but system insists that Firefox must run with DEP on.

I have a headset (mic & earphone). I used it on my old system and it worked fine, but now that I've upgraded to Vista x64 it seems to not work. I'm wondering if maybe there is a setting or something that I have missed somewhere?
The problem: I can hear sound coming from it...so no problems there. The sound quality is great just like before..now then, the problem is that the mic seems to not work anymore. No one can hear me and I've tried testing by recording myself and it doesn't play back anything either. I also tried hooking it back up to my old PC and it worked fine...so its definitely a software problem of some sort..

I recently downloaded WinAmp. I have only that to possibly blame for my current predicament. I just uninstalled it.
When I download something (anything) I used to get the little download box to appear in the upper left hand corner of my screen showing the download that just took place. Then I could right click on that download to show Open or Open File Location (which would be in the downloads file). But what I liked about it was that I could go right to that file location easily.
Now, whenever I make a download, the box still appears in the upper left corner but for a split second you see a file going into the small downloads box and then quickly disappearing. In a flash. How do I get the file to show in that small downloads box again?
As I said, I suspect WinAmp but I can't prove it. In any case, this brings up another problem. WinAmp took over my Windows Media Player and made itself the Default Player. I discovered the download box problem when I tried to play a video download and it wanted to play on WinAmp-not WMP. I don't recall setting WinAmp up as my player-I may have and not realized it, however. Anyway I want WMP back as my default player. Prior to WinAmp, my download box was working fine as best I recall.
Is there some reinstall or configuration to get the download box working again?
I tried to reinstate Windows Media Player (11?) now but it won't associate itself with all the various file extensions. How do I get my WMP to fully work again?
And how do I reinstall WinAmp (which I like) but keep WinAmp from taking over certain features where I do not want it?

The other day IE 7 was running very slow. It took over 10 minutes to load a web page. I only found out the it would actually load the web site because I left I IE running while I used another computer to search the web of answers. whe I returned the web page was loaded. But if I tried to click on anything on the page it would not load for a long time. I thought that the network was not functioning. But I was able to install the current updates with no problems. The antivirus updates worked normally. I could ping www.excite.com or www.usatoday.com with no problems.
I also noticed that the antivirus program would hang and not start scanning the memory. If I used task manager to end the process it would cause the antivirus process to go to the next step and I could tell it to scan the disk drives. But it would never start. I tried to reboot but had the same problem. I finally rebooted into safe mode with the network. At this point the network worked and the antivirus also worked. I did a virus scan and it found nothing. I then rebooted the system and now everything seems to be working.

I had a problem printing documents - the 'spooler subsystem app' was not functioning properly. So I found this site: You cannot add a printer, and you receive printer spooler error messages, and didn't see the fact that this troubleshooting page was for XP only. So I followed the instructions, and basically ended up deleting nearly all registry files in safe mode except the default ones. When I realized I had messed up, I performed a system restore that I had created immediately before editing the registry files. After the system restore, Vista wouldn't boot. So I restarted and booted in safe mode, got confirmation that the system had been restored, and restarted once again in Vista. Now, I have some annoying problems:
-the start menu freezes. I can click the menu, but i can't click any icons on the start menu itself. -Windows Live OneCare won't start -System restore will not boot. when I start it in the start menu (before start menu freezes), I see in task manager that rstrui.exe (the System restore file) is running as a process, but no application appears. How can i restore my computer?

I followed the tut here -> http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/11...ate-1-rc1.html
Got all the prereq installed. Then after waiting the 10-15, I acutally had dinner and came back started to d/l the SP. It got to 6% and stopped, sat there for a while and then failed with a code of 80070002. Click on the get help link and followed the instructions for clearing out the Software Distribution folder.
Then I checked for updates again. Did the same thing, stopped and failed at 6%. This time I clicked the 'Try Again' button. This time after hanging out for a while it went to 19%. But then it failed AGAIN! If I try again it just stays at 19%.
I figured that maybe the server is overwhelmed. It was 9pm EST or so. I tried again here at 5:15am figuring that most of the US is in a coma at this time. Same results.
Any ideas on how to get this SP? I'm plum out of ideas!
I'm down for anything, just to get this to work! Why did they have to change the way SP where handled? The d/l from a URL was just fine!

I am running Vista Home Premium x32 SP1 on a Dell XPS T8300@2.4 GHz. Whenever I try to run sfc /scannow it stops at either 39% or 69% ('Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation')and at the same time I get a pop-up message 'Windows modules installer stopped working and was closed'. I decided to run the sfc because yesterday morning I found my pc with a blue screen and the dreaded 'Windows has encountered a fatal error...' message. It booted successfully but I noticed several things (so far): all entries from System restore had disappeared, Windows updates had failed several times in the last 3 days trying to install Windows Vista SP2 (KB948465), and the 'uninstall/repair program' button in the control panel did not work (when I right-click over a highlighted program I only get two empty squares and no options). So I could not restore the system, could not update it and could not uninstall the most recent programs that might have caused the problem.
The next step was to do a repair install since I have the original Dell installation DVD for Vista SP1 but the upgrade was also unsuccessful - in the beginning of the installation I got a pop-up window with the message: setup.exe - Bad Image : C:Windowssystem32uniplat.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. I clicked 'Ok', the installation ran for about 1 1/2 hours and afterwards a message informed me that it was not successful and my system was being restored to its previous state.........

Over the past few days my Windows Explorer has begun to give me trouble. Stops responding several times a day. I've been through the Reliability and Performance Monitor and the Event Viewer and cannot find any specific correlation with installs or hw, sw changes. Most, but not all, of the errors seem to be related to ntdll.dll and encoders.dll. I can search for the specific error codes one by one, but since there are several, I thought there might be an easy way to check or re-install Explorer.

Greetings, I just formatted my new computer and when i try to play a dvd with WMP it loads the dvd and goes to a black screen and thinks for a moment, then a windows box pops up and says that WMP has stoped working,"we will look for a solution to this problem"
"This problem was caused by *NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller*,which was created by *NVidia*.
A newer version of this product is available that might solve this problem."
I believe that suggests that i reinstall my nvidia drivers, which i did, but it didnt work.
I have no codec packs installed either
Before the format everything worked perfect but i was having pop up problems and i think i had a virus of some sort.

I just got a new HP pavillion dv3 with vista home primium. But every time the computer went to sleep the clock and date stopped. I could not find out why, tried to remove sync with internet but nothing helped. But then we tried to correct the time and date ind bios and now it works Don't know why but it does. So if anyone else have the same problem I think it is worth trying.

with all the latest games I have bought (gta IV and mirror's edge) I get DEP errors. I tried to exclude them from DEP but my vista won't accept it. So now every ten minutes my games freeze up. What can I do about it? I've read some artikels about shutting of DEP completely. I'm wondering though what that will mean for my security. On some other forums it has been implied that the DEP errors have something to do with faulty hardware.

I am trying to run Easy DVD Clone on a vista computer. The decryption happens through a DVD Fab software which transfers the video ts folders to a location that Easy DVD Clone can then read from. The initial process works fine and it transfers the files to a temp location but then when it tries to burn it to a DVD, the process stalls at 99% and right after I get the pop-up window stating "Easy DVD Clone has stopped working". This happens with all DVD's. Do you know why this maybe the case and if this a vista related issue? I have already disabled my virus protection software as someone has suggested somewhere that it may cause a problem and I also deleted some other dvd burning softwares that I had on there but the result is much the same.

I'm using Vista Home Premium. I have a Brother 5170DN (direct network connection) that has been working fine with my older computers running earlier Windows versions. The trouble is that when the IP address of the printer changes, Vista is no longer able to print to it, so I end up having to reinstall. The reinstallation adds a new TCP/IP port into the driver, and then it works fine until the next time. Since my network is changing frequently right now, due to reconfiguration, this is a pain.

I am on windows vista sp1 home premium, and I often get a problem saying rundll32 has stopped working. I googled and found out that this is often caused due to nero's codecs which interfere with vista, but I have neither nero nor roxio installed, except that I use the latest version of vista codec pack. I just checked out by disabling startup services in msconfig and rebooting each time, but it's all the same every time, the problem just keeps repeating. I often get the problem on resuming from standby.
Can anybody recommend a solution? BTW, i am on an HP Pavilion dvt6846tx. Problem log from "Problem Reports and Solutions":Product Windows host process (Rundll32)

I have Vista Home Premium. My PC has recently started running a lot. Sometimes it runs for 1 min. and stops for 1 min. then starts again, does this over and over for a long period of time. Sometimes it runs constantly. Other times when it is in sleep mode it just runs constantly also.

I have an HP Pavilion Media Center m8200n PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit. The problem is with publishing from WMM to DVD using Window DVD Maker. The encoding process goes fine but once it begins to finalize (98.8%) the DVD will eject and then it gives me the message that it cannot complete the burning process due to an error but it doesn?t tell me what the error is. The only thing mentioned is to check the burner and make sure it is connect properly. I should mention that I have an internal LightScribe burner (ATAPI DVD A DH16A3L SCSI cd Rom device). After spending the better part of a Sunday afternoon I tried using only a LightScribe DVD and that worked but in the past I have been able to use any brand DVD.

My operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit with SP1. The computer downloads the majority of BF2 until the end of the 3rd cd then stops and doesn't say error or anything. It won't allow me to download a patch for BF2 either because it can't specify the file BF2 is in. When I start BF2 it says it can't start up because some file wasn't found and I have to reinstall the application. Which I have tried mucho but won't download the whole shin dig. In the quick info of BF2 where it has the minimum system requirements it doesn't recognize the OS and says that requirement failed but everything else is just peachy.
