my company employees are connected to a domain. everytime the sturn the pc on, it takes about 10 mins for the sign on screen to come on- this is all in black screen.
ive checked on the services and there is nothing specific running in the backgroup just the usual group policies. this issue is happening to about 5 out of 100 ppl in the company.
So I recently added a new system running x86 windows 7 to the network, and when I log out or shut down using a local account,everything works as it should. If I log on to one of the user domain accounts, however, these actions don't work. Instead, the start menu and icons disappear and I'm left with the desktop background indefinitely.Unplugging the network cable and plugging it back in then makes the system proceed to regular log out / shut down procedures, but I'm not sure why... Any ideas on some setting that is mis-set?Also, this only seems to happen the first time I attempt to log out or shut down since the last reboot. So, if I log in to a domain account and try to log out, it will do this "freeze". Then, I unplug the network cable and plug it back in, and then the system logs out of the account. If I then log back in and try to log out again, it will work fine. But if I reboot the machine, the problem returns.

My question is, is there something I can change, such as the registry or user profile so that a different account (such as larry) does the same as administrator, which is automatically change from domain to local upon typing the name in the user field?

my computer was not booting up so last night I went to the built in startup repair in Windows 7 and through the command prompt did a "chkdsk c: /f /b" which I saw online. It took about 15 hrs to get where it is at now which it finished the stage 5 and now says "Free space verification is complete." I thought that meant it finished but im assuming not because it won't let me type in the CMD box. Its been at this point for about 2 hours now and im wondering if I should try to shut down and boot up my computer or wait out until it does more. Also during stage 4 it said a couple times that windows repaired bad clusters?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen initiate either one, before the shutdown will complete, am told that the reboot must wait because the ScreenShot Manager is still running. Now, the wait is only for a couple of seconds then the shutdown completes ... so it's no big deal - just frustrating. But I'm wondering if there is something running that shouldn't be.I do have 'Sticky Notes' running (have a couple of notes always there to remind me ... something have to do each week) and wonder if that causes the 'screenshot manager' to run.

I've had windows 7 for like 4 months now and i turned my computer on today and it was at the please wait screen for about 15 minutes so i forced shutdown by holding the power button and tried again but it will not go past the please wait screen right before the login prompt. I decided to try to run in a different mode and right now i am running in debugging services mode in which functions are limited.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've notice that Windows Update, after just installing the OS, gives you some optional updates, and those updates are the drivers for your devices, and it seems that if an update for that drivers goes out, Windows will let you know so if you want to download it you can do so. Now my question is, Is it better to go to the manufacturers website and download the latest driver manually or is it just the same to let windows search for it automatically and download them when there is an update?...
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo a couple of days ago, my PC started hanging up on a "Please Wait" loading screen in between the "Starting Windows" screen (where the Windows logo forms from coloured orbs) and the user account selection screen. Sometimes I'd leave it half an hour and it still wouldn't load.To start with, I simply gave my PC a hard reboot, and the problem would go away. When this stopped working, I system restored, and then the problem disappeared. This morning however, I performed a system restore from safe mode, and now when I boot my PC, in whatever mode, I get the "Starting Windows" screen, then the PC hangs up on a black screen with only the mouse pointer active.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAbout a month after I started using it, the Say the Time clock program I bought stopped launching the management menu when I right click the date/time field in the task tray (notification area).
Therefore, I can't use or edit the program. Neither the touchpad nor the cordless mouse works.
Other than this problem, my computer works great. Every single item that's meant to be right clicked works for me.
Is there a way I can generate a log to show the software manufacturer (Provenio) that it's their problem and not mine? I am a novice user but I can follow instructions. However, I don't want to put my computer at risk if I make an entry error.
I've been using computers for 18 years and I've never had this problem until I bought this software and used it for about a month.
I just wanted a conclusive way of putting the ball back in the manufacturer's court.
I spilt some water on my laptop a few days ago but fortunately it's completely dried out and working perfectly.... apart from this minor (but important) issue.
Problem: the system time does not stay correct. Even after manually updating the BIOS time and also even after manually syncing it with the various servers available under the time options.
Fix: set the internet time sync interval to every minute rather than its default setting? How do I do this?
P.S. This couldn't be a CMOS battery issue surely because even when the system is on and plugged in the system time still deviates from correct. (I assume the CMOS battery is only used when the system is powered off.) If I need it replaced, how does that sit with my Dell hardware warranty?
So I bought a new desktop computer about 2 weeks ago and ever since I got it, it's been freezing (locking) up on me at random times. I currently use Windows 7 64-bit. I put in a new graphics card and new memory sticks just the other day and I got the same freezing problem. It's very random. I can be surfing the web and the next thing you know, the whole thing freezes up. I can't move the mouse. Can't do CTRL ALT DEL. Can't do anything. Seems as if the whole computer locks up. The only way to restart the computer is by manually holding in the power button for a few seconds. So since I replaced graphics card and installed new memory, I was thinking it may be something else causing this.

So I turned off the computer and tried again, this time the login page screws up a little and then the BSOD appears again. Safe Mode won't work either as the BSOD screen comes up at the same time as when normally booted.

The laptops are intermittenly hanging at the "Please Wait" screen right before the alt + ctrl + Delete option appears. The time it hangs varies. Sometimes it can hang for 2 minutes, sometimes it could hang for an hour. So far the only pattern we could find is that it happens mainly while the computers are not connected wired to the LAN and on wireless. If we toggle the wifi off during the please wait, a few seconds-mins later it finally shows the option to login. I set the NLA service to manual startup (network list service was already set to manual as well), and it stopped doing it. I enable it, and it starts hanging on message again. It also works fine in safe mode (both networking and without).
Any suggestions or ideas? Would leaving the NLA service to manual cause any major conflicts? Are there any timeout settings we could verify?
I've changed the setting of maximum processor state on battery from 100% to 50% to save battery. But the setting resets to default 100% time to time. I don't know why this is happening.
