I have an Acer Travelmate, Inter(R) core(TM) i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50 GHZ, 8GB RAM, 64-bit, windows 7 enterprise SP1.
The problem I have is: Normally ctrl-alt-del brings us to the login screen and we can login by password or swapping the finger. Randomly (not everytime) when my PC is locked or in sleep mode, it does not brings me to the login screen it remains blue (wondows theme) for ages and I have force poweroff my PC and restart it.
A user of mine is telling me she gets a BSoD often when she wakes up her laptop from sleep, or if she tries to undock it. My free tools for analyzing the dump file aren't giving me anything useful, so I figured I'd post it here in case someone with better tools would give it a shot.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy taskbar buttons are set to never combine. Each instance of a program is separate. However, they seemed to be locked together when I want to move them. What's particularly annoying is that if I want instance A of this program to be on the left I can't move it if I already have another instance of the program open (instance B). They are locked in their left and right positions.
If I wish to move them around relative to different programs open in my taskbar that's fine. However, if I wish to move them among each other they're locked in place.
Is anyone aware of a way to disable this? I believe I was able to do this at some point on my laptop which also used windows 7.
Is there a Sticky for understanding/unlocking the info of Mem dump, software/utilities to use. Been reviewing Windows resource kit tools

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install Windows 7 on my notebook. It currently has Vista and the computer will not boot up at all. It will not let me go into safe mode, or even system recovery. The memory and hard drive are both fine (based on the tests.) Whenever it boots from the Windows 7 disc it goes to "Setup is starting." and just hangs there. I've let it sit for about 40 mins and I really doubt it needs more time. I've searched on this a little but none of the solutions seem to work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedA few months ago my Windows 7 installation seemed to hit a hiccup -- explorer.exe started hanging whenever I attempted to return to the desktop. That's the best way I can describe it. Explorer is just fine and happy if I stay within Windows, but if I either
a) Connect to the machine remotely via RDP (i.e, I am connecting to this machine from an outside computer), when I get to explorer..
b) Run any sort of full screen application, for this example let's say Valve's Half Life engine, although everything else does it too, and then Alt-Tab back to Explorer..
Then when I return to Explorer it is hanging -- the mouse shows the busy wheel on the task bar, and it never returns. I can click, I'll be told I can check for solutions and close the program, and voila -- explorer is killed and restarted, all is well.
I have: Replaced the display drivers, no effect Insured the installation is up to date, no effect Sweared at it, no effect Installed windbg, saved a dump file, realized I'm not a developer, cried into a pillow, no effect

Anyone managed to get this to work? For anyone not familiar its a UMPC, currently running XP Pro. I created a new partition for Win 7 (x86 RC) and installed it there.
It went through the installation and various reboots until it said it was finished but now just hangs during the final reboot. I've tried safe mode - same thing.
Anyone had more success? Is there anything else I can do during booting or install to try and diagnose the issue? I am assuming its a hardware or driver issue.
I've successfully installed on several other desktops and laptops its just this one giving the problem.
Is it worth trying a newer build?
The upgrade has been hanging on the final step "Transferring files, settings, and programs" (58%)...
It has been at that point for approx. 12 hours. The three dots after the percentage continue to appear and disappear which makes it looks like it is processing, but no progress.
How do I get out that this and complete the upgrade?

View 1 Replies View RelatedComputer posts, then checks hard disk RAID status (Healthy), then a white blinking cursor appears on upper left corner on black screen, and hangs there forever, UNLESS i put in a Windows bootable CD, then based on my boot priority order (CD ROM, HD) it reads the CD, then it displays "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD...", for which i don't press anything, and the computer proceeds to boot Win 7 OS correctly. So basically it doesn't boot unless i just have a bootable CD in tray.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was shutting down my laptop last night and there was a program (Adobe Reader, I think) that caused it to wait before shutting down. I left it assuming it would eventually shut down. I pushed the power button this morning to turn the computer on, and it says "resuming Windows" and then goes to the screen that says "Logging off". It has been hung up on that screen for over 30 minutes now, so who knows how long it did that last night when it was supposed to shut down. I can press and hold the power button to get it to power down, but when I press the power button again, it starts the same "resuming Windows" stuff all over again. I tried tapping the F8 button when it was restarting, but no luck. I can't use my computer at all, This is a pretty new laptop (Dell), so this is especially frustrating. Not to mention I have LOTS of work to do and I everything is on that laptop.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Win 7 Ultimate using a DVD bought at retail. The upgrade process hangs while Gathering programs and settings, always at the 86% mark. Yesterday it hung at 6:00 PM and I let it run overnight -- at 9:00 AM next day it was still hung. No error message, no shutdown, just sitting there waiting.Following suggestions from various sources I have tried working from an empty start folder in Vista, and from a clean boot in Vista. Neither made any difference. I have turned off antivirus and taken down the firewall. My system is approved for upgrade by MS. I have tried starting the upgrade program from Vista safe mode and by booting from the DVD, but was not allowed to continue. I have done everything suggested by MS as a prelude to upgrading.My computer is a Dell Inspiron 530.

It hangs on start up; it gets past the Bios but stays at the Windows Logo and says "Loading Windows" until I am forced to shut down. Here are my specs:
EVGA 780i mobo
3.0ghz intel duo-core processor
4 gigs of DDR2 RAM
1 TB seagate HDD
1 gig of video (Gforce 9800GT 512mb SLI)
So my computer was working perfectly fine until this happened. However, this has happened before! This same exact problem happened before, so I figured it was the hard drive so I got a new one(the one I have now).Fine, it worked for about 1 month. Then this happened... again. I do not know what the problem is. Like I said in the description if my computer does get past the windows logo and I log on, after about 10 minutes of running I freeze and have to force shut down. Then I am stuck back at the Windows Logo... I have also tried to insert the Windows CD itself and try to repair windows, but even then it still won't get past the windows logo.
my ASUS Eeepc 1015 netbook, running Windows 7 starter, hangs after i try to restart -- mainly after an update.
after acknowledging the restart, the screen would go dark and hang. i would have to hold down the power button to shut it off, then i would start it up manually.
as a side issue probably related to the netbook... often when the netbook goes into screensaver mode the mousepad doesn't respond when i want to get out of said screensaver mode. i have to hit a button in order for the netbook to "wake". once in a blue moon, even that doesn't work, and i have to reboot.
[SOLVED]couple of curse words and a sfc /scannow seems to have fixed the problem :DMy HDD has some bad sectors on it (I already ordered a new HDD because I think this one is going to fail soon) sometimes when I boot up in my BIOS after the POST I will get a HDD not detected error if I cold boot it goes away and I am presented with my GRUB (I dual booted Win7 & Linux Mint). Is it possible that these random hangs are caused by my HDD?Mod Edit:Removed DDS log, not applicable/allowed in this forum, issue resolved by OP
