Update WU Causing BF2 To Lag Horribly?
Sep 23, 2007
Recently i found that after playing BF2 for a while without issues under vista problems have arised. I get random horrible hard drive thrashing which causes the game to just skip and be so choppy im forced to either wait it out (will eventually stop) or close the game. When it does stop it will happen again later...then stop again etc.. I disabled indexing options and defender hoping that would solve it. It didnt :/
I really dont know whats causing it. I even reinstalled vista in hopes something was just screwed up and i couldnt figure out what caused it but the same problem happened again. Im hoping that there are others out there that have found this to be true on their system or at least help me figure out whats casuing it. As for things running here is what i have running while playing BF2:
Xfire
AVG Antivirus

I have been trying to get the IIS server working on a PC (not mine) but keep getting the server error message as shown........I have installed the IIS in windows features. Not sure what is causing the error. I have even tried being explicit with the filename inside inetpub/wwwroot.......but that does not work either. Also - I'm not certain what a 'handler' is in this particular context.........................

I have successfully been using p2p connections on my previous Windows Vista 32 setup on my laptop, however, since I bought this desktop with 64 bit windows my computer continually locks as I open p2p connections. Included programs which cause the lock are, Azureus, Blizzard Downloader, and Bit Torrent. I believe this may be a port issue. Not sure however. Has anyone had this issue with 64 bit Vista?
The freeze is almost instant as the program opens. Within 5 seconds of opening any of the above programs the comptuer locks/freezes requiring a restart as I can do nothing else. This is why I suspect a port problem; it seems as the firewall opens the p2p port, the computer instantly freezes.

I noticed today my mouse causes strange behavior now and then such as click and hold titlebar of my browser and it maximizes it when i only wanted to move it a bit,click close button on say wordpad and some game mod zip file under the close button i clicked opens up,in my thunderbird email client when i click a message to read it a window opens with the message i clicked in it,and after installing three new games on my computer one of the icons i clicked and held to move it just started the game!No major problems so far,just occasional irritants throughout the day.Anyone knows what happened?How to fix this?
Edit 1:I clicked a zip file for a game soundtrack and then extract.When i checked "create a folder from archive name" and "Use subfolder info" the checkmark appeared then disappeared in each box i clicked.I clicked again carefully and the checkmarks stayed.Seems my mouse is VERY sensitive today for some reason!Oh,and i use zipgenius for the unzipping of the file. Edit 2:I tried to move the newly created folder with the soundtrack files to my music folder and they did the second time.The first time i clicked and held the file it opened it.Seems my mouse has become Way to sensitive!

I have a problem regarding my Vista installation. I'm using it for a while now but since a few days I get lots of freezes, hangs and crashes of my Vista and I cannot figure out what is causing these crashes. I'll explain the symptomps first: Somethimes it happens after the PC was running for hours sometimes it happens right after logging in. When the PC starts to freeze first one or two programs will stop to react, until everything freezes and won't react anymore. Funny about this is though that I can still talk in Vent and hear until the very last moment. Sometimes though the entire systems just starts to lag like crazy. If I have task manager opened there's no prcess using up CPU% other than System Idle Process. However in Reliability and Performance Monitor the CPU is usage is at exactly 50%. One core (I run a Core 2 Duo) is always at 100% and the other is at 0% and suddenly they switch and the other will be at 100% while the first is at 0%. That happens until finally the CPU calms down again. Just a few second after that though the system will BSOD and tell me a crucial system process was terminated....

I have an Acer 4810TZ; Im looking for a definite fix for this 100% CPU lock - when some hardware starts to hammer it with Interupt requests. I know this can also happen in XP; but I want to know if Vista has a way of sorting the problem out?

I have a webmail POP3 account for work. Instead of checking email on the web, I set it up in Windows Mail. On my web email I chose to leave a copy on the server. I also did this when I set up the Windows Mail account. Regularly, email stops coming to my blackberry and I have to validate my password on my blackberry constantly. Does Windows Mail have anything to do with this?

Is Micoshaft Marketing Causing Retardation of IT Admins? I speak with them and I hear gobbledigook from them about Linux that bears no relation to The Linux Desktop Experience or to the Linux Server Experience. However it does seem to have 100% correlation with Micoshaft funded fraudsters and asstroturfers selling Anti-Linux FUD in COLA and their pro-micoshaft posted articles.
All this marketing is not being shovelled just into COLA but the wider world of 100% controlled puppet journals and press coverage. A few minutes talking to these IT RETARDS often clears their mind and the opens their eyes to wanting to install Linux immediately giving it their best to have a go.
1. Demo of a liveCD or two, and doing an install or two.
2. Demo of virtualisation with windummy OSen running in Qemu or in ?Virtual?Box?.......

I currently own a audio input interface called MobilePre USB. I have recently purchased a computer with Windows Vista which (I think) is using service pack one (not sure how to check this!). The audio interface has been causing my computer to crash (blue screen) and having contacted the company they have told me that the hardware is not supported by Vista service pack one. They did say though that I can "roll-back" my system which would cure the problem. I am unsure about how to do this or whether this is safe to do.

When I have my display adapter (nvidia 7300 gs) enabled as normal, Vitsa freezes at a random time. It occurs more frequently when running video files, but can happen with no applications open. When I disable this display adapter and run on the on-board one, the problem does not occur, but then I cannot run anything that needs direct x. I think the issue is due to the driver for the nvidia 7300 gs. I have rolled back the driver, but this has not helped. And I downlaoded the latest driver from nvidia's website, but this has not helped. Through device manager, I have unistalled and re-installed the nvidia 7300 gs.

That is the message I get from the icon in my Vista tray. When I try to manually check for Windows Updates I get the message that I need to "first install an update for Windows Update". When I try to install that update for Windows Update, I get error code 80070643. There is a lot written about Windows Update error 80070643 having specifically to do with restarting the Office Source Engine for Microsoft Office 2003. HOWEVER, I do not have Microsoft Office 2003 installed on my system and this is not my issue! I am quite fearful at this point that I am vulnerable to all sorts of attacks considering that I haven't updated Vista for about 6 months now. This is not good.

As far as I can determine, this update (released 22Oct08) does not work, at least not with Windows Vista Home Premium. I had update 7 running, and got an update notification for Release 10 earlier today. Downloaded and installed the update, tried the Java test page, Firefox (both 3.0.3 and today's Minefield beta-test for Firefox 3.1) hung. Tried the update in IE7, that, too, hung.
Went to Control Panel, clicked on the Java icon, had some problems opening it; when it did finally open, I went into Advanced and found that Update 10 was not recognizing IE. Opened IE, redownloaded the off-line update, to see if that worked; answer is, no, it still did not recognize IE. Back to Java, found the off-line installed for Update 7, removed 10, reinstalled 7; Java works once again. In the midst of this aggravation, trying to figure out what the problem was, I did find one link to an article that said Update 10 had been delayed due to some unspecified problem. Seems to me that, at least for Vista Home Premium, there is still at least one unspecified problem with Update 10.

Microsoft Update was first released a few years ago for Windows XP and Server 2003 as a great way to update all of your Microsoft software installed on your PC. Not only would it update Windows, but it would also update Microsoft Office. Are you a Microsoft Outlook user? If so, Microsoft Update would even download updated junk mail signatures when they are released.
In Windows Vista the new Windows Update application is no longer web-based. Microsoft has built-in the old Microsoft Update functionality into the new interface but you need to turn it on before you can use it. Follow these steps to turn on updates for other Microsoft applications: ...

The last time an update was installed was in January..since the next time i was offered an update, Windows Update or any of the programs that use windows update fail to update. Also i can't download the updates manually..standalone msu installers also dont work.. windows defender, IE8 installations also fail to update. And unfortunately i have deleted the recent system restore checkpoints before i knew about this problem. Windows Update gives error 80070002, i have tried the "solution" to delete temp update files, and all other solutions i could find on the internet. Windows defender gives the same error.
The updates can be downloaded from windows update, but cannot be download (not even manually in .msu package) I also lost many shortcut files of MS Office (the icon turned white and they lost their target). Some shortcuts of 3rd party programs are also lost (which were supposed to be in c:windowsinstallerlabla I have Windows Vista Home Basic with SP1 (SP1 came with the ssytem when i bought it). This is very weird. I have no other choice than to reformat drive and use recovery disk.

I am running Office Home and Student 2007 and have just run a diagnostic which suggests that my installation is not up to date and that I go to the Microsoft Update site and download any available updates. When I do, I am asked to sign on with 'Microsoft Update'. The idea is, I think, to combine this Microsoft Update with my Windows Update and let Office updates come though along with updates for Vista, IE, etc. I have posted here before with issues concerning updates including a fiasco I had last November which involved Office updates and am wondering, since Office seems to be working well at the moment (I was bored so I did a diagnostic ) should I bother with this or just leave it? Does Office have security issues like IE and Vista?

I have it in Windows Update, but I wanted to ask you guys, is it worth it to do it? My computer is really only used for gaming and such, and I've heard it causes issues. Also, if I installed it to 4%, then clicked 'cancel' do the 4% of files get installed, or at least do they not actually come into effect unless it's completely installed?

New system, Vista Ultimate x64. Started with IE7, Update forced IE8 onto the system. 7 was fine, but 8 screwed some things up, and there is ONE thing left that I can't fix. Downgraded back to IE7, but the address bar is still missing, and I can't find a way to get it back.
