Crashes When Loading Up Certain Programmes
Ive just installed Windows 7 on my machine. Running an AMD dual core 3800+ with 4.0DDR2 and GForce 9750GT
On the initial installation, just before you have the option to set up user name- the screen went all blue with lots on small black horizontal line across. It hung for a few mins and eventually I had to manually re-start. Off to a great start!!
Anyway once it re-booted and after it had checked for the intial first use and graphics, I managed to get in to the system and successfully load onto the desktop. Continued through windows update and there was some updates for my graphics cards. After this I went to Nvidia's site and downloaded the 124mb file Windows 7 64 bit file.
All this downloaded and installed ok, however, whenever I try to open a media file, Windows media centre it'self and msn messenger, the screen freezes and seems un recoverable. I haven't installed any other programes yet, but I can only assume it's something to do with the graphics card?
remember this happened before I managed to even load the OS propperly for the first time...does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be at all and a possible solution?

Explorer Crashes Loading Update Program
I've run into an issue loading Windows Update that causes Explorer to crash everytime. A few days ago I tried installing a third-party Media Center plugin but the installer crashed... nothing surprising there except for when I tried to run Windows Update soon after, it failed to load and crashed Explorer. Fiddled around for a while and couldn't figure anything out, so I reverted to a Restore Point which fixed everything. Tonight I tried to install Silverlight (downloaded from Silverlight website) and nearly the same thing happened. This time the Silverlight installer loaded, I click 'Install Now', but the box disappeared and never installed. Then I remembered Windows Update had the Silverlight 'optional update' in queue, so I tried to open up Windows Update only to get the same Explorer crash. To eliminate the obvious, restarting does not fix it. Virus scan is completely clean. CHKDSK finds no hard drive errors. Etc. Here are the details of the crash: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: Explorer.EXE Application Version: 6.1.7000.0 Application Timestamp: 494324ea Fault Module Name: ntdll.dll Fault Module Version: 6.1.7000.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 49434898 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 00000000000ebbaa OS Version: 6.1.7000.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 4d8a Additional Information 2: d29eb71c73a836dd46145293986be191 Additional Information 3: d4d1 Additional Information 4: ec74563d182390778b2662c13e8631ad

Programmes Slowing Down Win7 64bit System
I am running Win 7 64bit ultimate and have a problem with the system clock slowing down when certain programmes or services are running. I have just carried out a clean install on my system which includes an AMD Phenom II X4 955 processor. All drivers have been updated to the latest reference Nvidia system board and graphics WHQL versions. After the full installation, the system was completely stable with no slowing of the system clock. After installing iTunes 8.2.1 (iTunes 9 crashes too often) the system clock started to slow down, losing about 10 minutes an hour. When I closed iTunes and disabled all associated services, the clock problem seems to have stopped.

EXPLORER.EXE Crashes, MMC.EXE Crashes, Moviemaker.exe Error
I want to love Win7 so badly, but this is just crazy. I'm about to go back to good old XP, simply for the stability. I'm about fed up with Windows 7 after only using it for two weeks. Off of a brand new and formatted clean install, with only Norton NIS 2010, Itunes, Adobe Reader, and Firefox 3.5.7 installed, I get constant explorer.exe crashes. Shortly followed by an mmc.exe crash, then it just gets caught up in a never-ending explorer.exe crash that only a reboot resolves, for a short time. All drivers are up to date, and all Win 7 updates have been applied. I've even formatted and re-installed Win7 only to have explorer begin crashing a day later. This is all on a stock Dell Inspiron 545 quad core, 8GB RAM, etc. I'm very tech savvy and am about jump off of the Win 7 bandwagon. Maybe the Apple Mac commercials are correct, another fumbled attempt at a stable OS from Microsoft? After extensive reading, it appears that many others are suffering through this ____ also. Some get it while attempting to right click any icon, some when launching apps, some, like me , for no apparent reason at all. I don't ever get the BSOD, but the computer is essentially non-functional due to explorer restarting all the time. I've done a ton of reading and have tried sfc /scannow, which found no errors. I've tried shellexview, to no avail for the context handlers. I've uninstalled and re-installed all non-MS apps. I've tried everything that I've read, and it eventually starts crashing again. It is very random, and I can find no patterns that cause the explorer crashing. It works for two days, then goes haywire. Sometimes it only works for an hour before the explorer crashes begin. And yes, this is a fully licensed and legal copy of Win 7 Pro that I purchased through CDW. A side note, this computer ran WIN XP perfectly. All hardware has been tested and is perfect. If anyone has found a fix for this issue, then please chime in! Below are the errors that populate the Event Viewer: Activation context generation failed for "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryMovieMaker.Exe".Error in manifest or policy file "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryWLMFDS.DLL" on line 8. Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested.

Win7 Loading Screen

Not Enough Space When Loading A Program
I get an error when trying to load some programs in Win 7 R/C. I'm not sure if the error is referring to Ram or Hard drive. I have 4gb ram and 250gb hard drive with only 1/4 of it being used in my HP 2120us laptop. Anyone know what this error is? R6016 - not enough space for thread data So far I like the new 7 version if I can iron out a few problems like this one.

Freezing At Loading Screen
My computer has been freezing at the windows loading screen. I have a Gateway FX6800-01e. I had a copy of Windows Vista Home 64bit and I noticed my processor was running around 25% percent at idle which I thought was odd because it usually ran between 2-8% at idle. I thought I might have a virus because my Norton 360 kept turning off the auto-protect. I ran a scan and found nothing. But, whenever I restarted my computer it froze at the Windows loading screen with the green bar, and the screen was usally dimmed. I let it sit for awhile but it never did anything and when I restarted I tried to run the check for errors instead of starting windows normally and then that usually froze. The only way I could start my PC was usally to unplug it completely from the power and let it sit for 10-20 seconds and the plug it back in and it would let me into windows. I don't know if this means there is a problem with my memory or if my hard drive is failing..Anyways, I just bought Windows 7 and figured I'd just wipe my drive and do a clean install. While installing it froze after the install unpacked and restarted my machine!! I unplugged and waited, plugged back in and thankfully the installation was able to complete. I know have Windows 7 on my PC but my processor is still running high when at idle. I'm literally at a loss of what to do, my questions are how do I check if the memory is bad, or if my hard drive is failing? If that is even possible? Or if I have some type of virus or rootkit that somehow got deep into my system someplace that is messing with my boot. Is there any steps I can go through so I won't have to tear apart my system.

Downloading Screen Not Loading ?
I clicked the download, and it took me to another screen. I've been at this screen for about 25 minutes, and all there is is a toolbar at the top and bottom, and a circle of green dots spinning around in the center. It hasn't been doing anything. Is this to be expected, or is it some problem?

Devices And Printers Not Loading
I have a very strange problem!  I have built a windows 2008 R2 domain I have added a Win 7 PC to it. When I log on to the PC with a domain admin account I can access “Devices and Printer”. When I logon using a normal domain user account, “Devices and Printer” does not load. I end up with a white box with the green progress bar, but no icons! I have tested as local user account and it does the same. I have no GPOs applying to the user. The only GPO that applies to the machine is the default domain policy. I have nothing configured in this GPO above the standard. I have read on the net and the only suggestion has been to enable the Bluetooth service. I have tried this but to no avail. This has also been tested on two different computers (one Dell and one HP).  My Windows 7 PC is about to make a quick exit out the window! This is driving my up the wall, apart from this issue, I have a fully functional 2008R2/Windows 7 secured school domain J  If anyone can test this issue on their windows 7 network I would be interested to hear if you have the same issue.

Error Loading Operating System
I have been trying all day to dual boot using the tutorial and no success. I have windows 7 install on my computer. I want to have windows xp. Now I have shrink my hard drive so I have 2 partitions now. Ok the problem is When I boot xp I goto install on D:/ the new partition it then copies all the files to that hard drive all good so then it wants to restart which is normal. Then When it reboots it will say error loading operating system or just nothing. Then I cant even Run windows 7 I have to delete that partition on windows xp and then put windows 7 and repair startup and Im back on again. It has to do something with the boot loader or something because I reckon Its trying to do start windows 7 but there is xp trying to install it self. Im not sure but I think I have tried every idea.

Will Not Boot Up Past Loading Screen
Ok, so iv put this computer together, installed windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and i got it up and running perfect for like a day. The next morning i switched it on and was working good for couple of hours then it seemed like the whole computer started to slow down and i got a blue screen error. so i rebooted and tried to start windows but, it then says windows is loading files then goes to the logo loading and after that it just goes to a black screen!? iv tried everything to get it back running safe mode, low res mode, repair, boot from disk etc but nothing. So i thought i would try and put the HD in another computer and wipe it to re-install windows but when i put it in another comp it does the same thing.. does the logo loading and then to black screen Iv found that when i remove the HD from my PC and boot from the windows 7 disk then it gets to the windows 7 installation bit so do you think it could be a problem with the HD?

Loading The USB Drivers Late
First off, let me acknowledge that this might not be the best Forum for this question - but if you can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated....I have a Virtual Machine issue that might be solvable if I understood drivers and INF files better. My problem occurs with VMware, but I suspect it exists in other VM environments. I have reported this to VMware, but no action or acknowledgement yet. VMware does not support USB. I have USB devices I want to access from within a VM. What's the solution? There is a USB server device from Silex called the SX-5000U2 / SX-2000U2 / SX-2000WG. You connect your USB device(s) to the server, plug the TCP/IP interface from the server into your switch, load the server's client software into your VM and access the USB devices tunneled through IP. Sounds a completely elegant solution and it works if the client is a regular OS load, but not a VM. Why? The reason is that when the VM was loaded with Windows (I'm still on XP), there were no USB devices enumerated, so no USB support was installed. What I need to do is cobble together a subset of the SIF files that originally load the system to install USB support even though no USB devices are detected. It would take some research, but I figure I could get there sooner or later, produce a CAB and INF that installs USB support even after the initial setup has been completed. I have a theory that this might not be sufficient but I haven't gone far enough yet to tell. Even with all the USB support installed, when the OS boots in a VM it will still enumerate no USB device, so it will not activate the drivers I just copied and not shim them in to the system. When I connect to the USB server and it tries to generate a "new hardware found" event, there may be no one listening. The driver issue I would need to solve is how to get all these USB components loaded and activated even though there are no USB devices yet present ... because there will be some soon! I think the interest in such a solution might be large. VM as a class of technology is growing all over the place. It's not just server farms and cloud computing, it's also in smaller development shops and some home or small business environments. It seems a shame for those situations to lose the advantages of easy USB connectivity. Any idea how to make this all happen?

Help With Error Loading Repair Disk
i have XP home and WIndows 7 Ultimate on dual boot. Today I shrunk the Xp in order to make room for a new parition to store a Windows 7 Backup Image. A lettered partition is viewed as a drive by the Backup Recovery Image and works well if needed to restore the other partitions around it - have recovered several computers this way since I cannot get Backup Recovery images to reimage from USB HD. During the shrinking of the XP partition , I had to move some system files using PerfectDisk10 and got into a situation where the PC could not boot. I was doing this by Remote Assistance and my host didn't have a Win7 recovery disk, so we used his Vista Installation disk to access Repair my Computer and restored the boot with line commands to fixboot and fixmbr. After the computer restarted the XP partition was shrunk, so I proceeded to format and install the Backup Recovery Image there. When it completed I wanted to test it, so I had my host put in the Vista Disk to boot into Repair>Restore from Image to see if it cued up the Recovery Image correctly. This same disk which has just worked to restore the boot, now gives this error message during file loading and won't proceed:"Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive while the device is in use, or by faulty hardware such a hard drive or CD-ROM drive that is failing. Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer. If you continue to receive this error message, contact the hardware manufacturer.Status: Oxc00000e9Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred. ""Most Google results on this point to a possiblity of a bad DVD, but since we had just used the DVD, I am concerned this has something to do with the partition drives not configuring properly. The computer is working fine. My plan is to try an actual Win7 repair disk in it asap to test if it will cue up the Backup Recovery Image for reimaging, and run DIsk Diagnostics and chkdsk.

Loading Operating System Error
So I tried installing Windows XP Professional alongside my existing Windows 7 Home Premium as a dual boot, but when my PC restarted following XP's text-based installation phase, I got the annoying "Error loading operating system error. I've tried: - Using the Windows 7 Startup Recovery feature from the Windows 7 DVD, but it didn't work. - Deleting the incomplete XP partition. That hasn't worked either. - Using the Windows XP CD to enter Recovery Console and run fixmbr. Unfortunately it asks me to log into my Windows 7 installation using the Administrator password, which is wrong every time I enter it. So I can't do that either.
