Windows Live One Care Safety Scanner Hanging
Oct 19, 2008
I have been trying to run Windows Live One Care Safety Scanner (beta for vista) I can successfully install and run it but when it performs the scan and it reaches 97% completion the program hangs. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software. I thought the problem might have arisen due to vista's securitythen reinstall th features so I first made sure to run internet explorer browser when I re-downloaded the scanner files. However, this has made no difference... the scanner still installs and runs but again upon reaching 97% completion hangs.
I am interested to know if anyone else has encountered this problem and better still if anyone knows how to resolve it.

I am running windows vista home premium and IExplorer 8 ..I have used the windows live safety scanner many times in the last year..The last couple of times I tried running it I got the following message. We're sorry. This version of the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner doesn't work with your Web browser or operating system. It goes on to say that I need to have windows vista and internet explorer.

Can I run, or am I supposed to run Windows Defender if I am using the Live Care One Firewall already?

For the past week I have been working with IoBit in testing various betas of Advanced Windows Care. Finally after many unreleased betas, I now have Advanced Windows Care working with Vista x64. I would say that it won't be too long before they release the final version of Advanced Windows Care that is compatible with x64. I consider Advanced Windows Care to be a great all in one program and after I had problems with their beta, I offered to test for them.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium edition and I am using Windows Live One Care. Today there was an update to Windows Live One Care. Now when I open windows mail it gets stuck on the authorizing screen and I get this message Account: 'shawmail', Server: 'shawmail', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19
I have 2 e-mail accounts and the 2nd one works fine but the first one does not, I have not changed anything, it was working fine yesterday. I even deleted and remade both accounts and it still does the same thing. If I leave windows mail open eventually it will get past the authorizing and it will receive the e-mails but it is very slow on my regular e-mail address.

I recently purchased a nice shiny new HP Pavilion DV7-1130US. It came with vista ultimate x64 SP1. I wanted XP but that was not an option. For the first few hours it was very buggy and explorer was hanging alot. After awhile it got better and for about 2 weeks i was really starting to enjoy my lovely new laptop. Well today, for from what I can see no reason whatsoever, my laptop has become unusable. My symptoms are similar to those discussed in this thread: Windows Explorer Crashes I boot up, log in, everything seems ok for the first 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Then explorer freezes and I cant access or use any applications, everything goes into "not responding" mode, and none of my clicks register. Then 2-5 minutes go by and all my clicks happen at once. It seems like explorer restarts once or twice during this too as I get the "ding" sounds.
I have also received some memory errors, and fatal application crashes from various applications. I cant even do anything, I tried to get to system restore in the first 30 seconds after boot up when the computer is usable, but i cant make it and am not sure where system restore is located. I love my new laptop but I am so frustrated right now that I could smash it against the wall. I blame vista, as I am using an old ass XP desktop right now that works absolutely fine, never ever crashes, yet my shiny new fancy HP dual core 4 gigabytes of ram vista x64 bit laptop is ****ing worthless............

If I am remotely assisting another computer, and they are having to lower their firewall to let me in, can hackers more easily access their computer? I don't want to jeopordize their system.

I just reinstalled vista and the only difference to my machine is a 8600GTS graphics card (used to be a 7800GT) but this time around for some unknown reason I can see all my drives in the safetely remove hardware list (I dont want them in there). They were not showing before (previous installs) and I also notice that the windows update has a history that is telling me that the nvidia raid updates have failed and if I try them again it fails repeatedly. So how do I go about making sure my drivers are all correct and removing the raid config and my other drives from the above mentioned list.

As of an hour ago I could not open AIM, McAfee, or HP Total Care Advisor. When ever I try to open one of these three programs I get and error message. Here's an example when opening McAfee;mcshell.exe - Bad Imagec:Windoessystem32SHFolder.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains and error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or software vendor for support. Then if you hit OK it comes up again and again four times with that same title then the title changes to "E398ADA39B044C5808A09B3D49548DB: mcshell.exe" The only way to get this error message to vanish is open task manager and end that program. What's going on with my computer? Also a program called On-Acess Scanner service has stopped working. I don't know that program.

I don't know if I am in the right place. But the people here seem to know what they are talking about. I have HP Pavilion dv5-1235dx Entertainment Notebook Pc. Windows Vista Home Premium SP2. I have already talked and emailed HP about 20 times. I had a problem with total care advisor so HP told me to uninstall it and then reinstall it so I did and the website they gave me to download it was really to update it and would not install. Now they say I have to do a system recovery. Is there anyway to download the HP Total Care Advisor without doing a system recovery? I was told by HP that I need this to do hp updates and it is important for my computer.

I have a problem with Vista. Recently, if I don't use a computer about 20-30. minutes and then try to run something then the explorer hangs and doesn't, ALT + CTRL + DEL combination doesn't work . If a program was run before the shell hangs then it will continue to work whereas the explorer is hanging. I have tried to left performance monitor opened and found that the CPU and HDD were not used while the shell was hanging. If I active use the computer without long inactivity then nothing happens.

On a couple occasions now, I have left the computer, and then come back to the computer to see the screen all black with that circular Vista logo in the middle of the screen. I take it that means the screensaver was about to kick in? Well the system did not respond either time. What is going on here? These Vista freezes are getting tiresome. I have also had problems with Chess Titans. If I open IE while playing it, then system is guaranteed to freeze. If I try to maximize the Chess Titans window, the system is guaranteed to freeze. Some people warned me not to get Vista. If I can't fix the freezing, then I will regret not listening to them.

I keep having the problem of MS Outlook not responding, or clicking on a link in an email and nothing happening, or clicking on any way to get into explorer either from a desktop or task bar icon, etc. If I shut down or restart it clears up for a while, but comes back soon, eventually. I have IE version 7, Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1. (32 bit) How can I keep this from happening?

Working on a Toshiba Satellite A205-S4617, using Windows Vista Home Premium. It started out with hangtime -- a lot of hangtime. With anything that put a little stress on the system: music, games, movies were all useless to me now. Even web browsing was a chore, with a 15-second hangtime for each web page opened -- sometimes twice (much worse on the graphics-heavy sites). The system was also extremely slow retrieving files on the hard disk. I didn't know what to do for several months until I narrowed the cause down to the Windows Update Error 80070426. Based on advice to other people with similar problems that I found here and other places, I took the following steps: I made sure my copy of Vista was re-authenticated, then I tried installing the updates again. No luck.
The next option was to restore my machine to the factory settings. This could be accomplished rather easily with the system restore disk that came with the computer. Except that during my last move, the wife thought the computer box would make nice storage for drinking glasses, and promptly emptied the contents of the box. That stuff has not been seen or heard from since. Whenever I describe my computer woes to somebody and they ask why I don't just restore it with the backup disk, I just give the wife a hard stare and shake my head a little, saying nothing.

The issue is that ever since I installed Vista, it will randomly, without warning, hang for about 30 seconds and then resume without issue.
- Reinstall Vista (done)
- Change SATA to ATA (not possible with Dell Bios)
- Defrag HD (Done)
- Check for Hardware Errors (No issues under XP for 2 years)
- Virus program (does this when AVG isn't installed)
- Drivers (all up to date drivers, froze before nvidia/creative drivers
installed)
- Bios (Latest bios version from Dell)
I have watched the reliability monitor and event viewer and I am not seeing any errors at the time of freezing. I really think this issue needs to be addressed because in my search of these forums and the internet, MANY people are having these problems, but no one is explaining it well enough and so many of the answers are unrelated.

I did a hard install of SP1 over two hours ago on my desktop. The system installed and configured updates-went up to 100%..however...it is still hanging-what I mean by that is I am still on the blue installation screen and it says "Configuring Updates-do not turn off computer" I am not sure what to do...should I just shut it off and restart?

When you click shut down, Vista doesn't shut down, or do anything for that matter. If it cannot terminate all processes, in about 3 to 5 minutes it will pop up this screen that say like "this process is hanging, click here to terminate and shut down" or something like that.

I had a problem with my Windows Mail, all of the sudden I could not get my mail to show up in the inbox so I signed up for Windows Live Mail to see if I could just export everything to it but it did not work. I now have a Windows Live import box stuck on my Desktop that I cannot get rid of and I cannot get into my Windows Mail anymore. The windows live is working well but I just want to get to my old e-mails and my contacts , is this possible?

I uninstalled (using the removal tool) Norton and installed OneCare on a trial basis. Do I need any additional spyware with this? Spybot, for example.

I have Windows Mail on my Vista machine. I did a clean install of Windows 7, and I now see that Windows Mail is not included. I must down from the Windows Live collection of 'Live' applications.
when I pressed the download button, I saw the file was named wlsetup-web.exe. Does this mean that to install Mail, I will first be installing the framework for installing any other Live applications I may want in the future? That is, is this like installing only Word from the Office suite?

Does anyone know if there is a way and if so how to have Windows Live Mail open by default to Newsgroups? I don't use it for Mail. I just use it for these newsgroups. Every time I open it, I have to click on Newsgroups. I would like to be able to open Windows Live Mail and have it directly open to Newsgroups.
