i have suddenly developed problems with my win 7 after installing software, specifically the aforementioned update. at present, i can not use skype (i get the 0xc0000034 error), any torrent downloaders, play video on Internet, etc, and the flash player crashes in all browser windows (ff, ie) every time. vlc will play video, but no sound, and when i try to access controls, the program crashes, but won't quit the systray, like skype. itunes will load up, but not play anything, and then freezes, and has to be forced to quit. i've done a clean boot, and still nothing was working. i tried to restore twice, but both failed, at which point my save points were deleted as new action had taken place. i checked my device manager. and all hardware is functioning fine. i am currently updating all drivers, but i'm fairly certain it's superfluous. i have disabled my firewall and avg, run spybot, and scanned for virus. all clean. (i've always kept a clean drive). i am soooo close to fragging the drive and reinstalling windows. save my sanity. i have tried to uninstall the patch, but can't. things went to pot after installing kb2533552, and 2534366... running win 7 64 bit, ultimate, v.6.1 (build 7601, sp1) 4 gig ram, triple core amd processor, ati 4770 graphics card, creative sb titanium sound.

View 12 Replies View Related2 days ago, I posted about how my BIOS can't even detect SSD anymore. So we concluded that my SSD was dead. After talking to OCZ tech support, the guy told me to change SATA configuration into ACHI and then my BIOS was able to detect SSD again.
So i thought that the problem was solved, but as soon as windows 7 logo shows up, blue screen pops up for like 0.5 sec, and then restarts the computer. I thought that SSD was working fine, BIOS could detect it, and the only problem is with windows 7 so I decided to put windows 7 disc in dvd drive to format and reinstall. But now, my windows 7 can't detect SSD.
What should I do? Why can't my windows 7 disc detect SSD when my BIOS can. And does this mean my SSD is still alive? [URL]

Then windows installer can't find the SATA 3 ssd. but it is working fine at windows 7 . only problem that windows installer can;t find when i trying install the operating system on this SATA 3 ssd.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've recently reinstalled Windows 7 (32-bit Ultimate). It seems there is some problem with 3D stuff on any OS I try. After the setup, when it was checking the video performance it crashed as well. And now every time I try to run that program which gives you system's rating in Windows 7 it crashes within a few seconds (on Running Direct3D Aero Assessment). If I try to play any games it crashes almost immediately as well but other than that everything seems to be working perfectly fine. I can watch movies and browse the internet on Chrome for hours (weirdly it crashes on Firefox after some time...) I had the same problem on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Windows Vista Home Premium x32 as well... And all Event Viewer is showing is that ID 41 Error which doesn't really tell anything. :/ Before all these Vista and Windows 7 installations I used Windows XP and it seemed to be working pretty good but it would crash on certain games too.
I've tried changing back to XP but everytime I try to install it I get a BSOD telling me to run checkdisk (I've used 2 different CDs to try and install it because I thought maybe some files on my CD were corrupt or something but I got the same BSOD). I ran chkdsk and it didn't find any problems. I'm not really good with computers scomputer specs:Intel Core Duo 2.20GhzATI Mobility Radeon HD 45704GB RAMWindows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit
Basically I want to know how to bring all of the windows within a group back to their original sizes.
For instance let's say I've got two Word files open side by side. If I go to a maximized Google window to look something up now I have to click on both word files separately. After a while this gets to be a bit of annoyance. I'd like to know how to click on the Word tab and bring both word windows back to the size they were before another window was on top.

I have an Acer Aspire 5542 Laptop running Windows 7 and have had no problems until recently. I went to check my Hotmail and found I could not get to Hotmail.com then my msn messenger signed out and would not sign back in.
I then noticed that I could not get to any Microsoft site but all other sites work fine. I am a computer tech and run a small home network the laptop being the only machine running windows 7 all other run XP or Linux all other machines can access all Microsoft sites so I am pretty sure the problem lies with the laptop, however after running every scan I can think of and coming up empty I wiped the mbr and recreated the hard drive partition and reinstalled windows with the factory restore disks.
I was using Windows Live Movie Maker and working on a tribute to my sister who passed. I decided (wrong thing to do) to update and downloaded Windows Live Essentials (because there was a newer update of Movie Maker). Then, movie maker would not start up.Reinstalled several times. Then I read somewhere about DXDIAG. Then tried dxdiag in Run command. THIS is the error message:C:WindowsSysWOW64dxgi.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact yoru system administrator or the software vendor for support. After I press ok, I get another message saying:
Error: Could not load dxdiagn.dll
Not sure what to do My goal is to continue working on my video tribute. I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials. Tried to reinstall DIRECTX, states I have the latest version. I used several scans (SFC/scannow and others for malware). I have an ACER Aspire 1430z-4677, Windows Home Premium (64).
I am using an HP Pavillion DV9700 laptop
BIOS F.2C
AMD Turion 64x2 TL-60 2.00 GHz
2 GB on board
Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit OS, all updates installed
Somewhere, after a Windows 7 update many months ago, the problem started. I had no problems before. It started with the OS not recognizing the optical disk drive that came installed with the laptop. The computer's set-up BIOS recognizes the drive as being there. The optical drive does not show in Device Manager. I tried changing out the disk drive, it did not work. Soon, Windows 7 would occasionally lock up at the boot screen, but work fine on a cold reboot following a lock-up.
But then the lock-ups became permanent and cyclical. No amount of reboots would facilitate. I went to do a clean install using an external USB optical drive and accidentally discovered it cured the problem! The laptop will not lock up if the external USB optical drive is hooked up and turned on when starting the computer. I tried a clean install of the operating system. I tried updating the drivers. Windows 7 always recognizes I had problems booting and sends the error messages to Microsoft.
After launcing the game my Windows crashes all the programs and windows ( volume control ) that are related to sound as i try to edit or change anything ( change volume etc ). And i hear no sound from anything, only after i restart the computer ( i then hear "ssssss" noise instead of nothing ).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have several internal card readers for my desktop computer. Two are Rosewill brand from NewEgg and one is RocketFish from BestBuy. They are all of the type that read SDHC, CF and a host of other cards and also have a USB port for a flash drive. They all connect to main board dual-port headers.For no reason apparent to me, the card readers still read USB flash drives but do not even acknowledge any flash memory cards at all in any manner. It is as though I did not insert one at all. I researched the 'net and found some things to try (registry edits, scanning for malware, disconnecting the power cord for several hours, etc.etc.); but, after several hours of troubleshooting, I decided I had three bad card readers. In a last act of desperation, I restored the OS to an Acronis image I made several months back and now the card readers function flawlessly,So, where in Windows 7 can I begin to look for a cause/solution to this kind of problem if it happens again? It probably will happen again as I already have an XP system where the problem has popped up with these same card readers.Additional Info: I have an external reader that functioned fine on the same systems on which the internal readers did not work.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently build a new Sandy Bridge computer to replace an older Conroe system. The new build retained the SSD (OS and programs) drive and the SATA data drives along with the existing Windows 7/64HP installation.I built an Asus P8Z68V Pro with an Intel i5-2500k and DDR3-1333 ram (12GB). I did not reinstall Windows 7/64HP. I had to tweak a few programs that had an issue with my substitute hardware, but otherwise it seems to run fine.However, I've had some crazy BSODs that seem to tie into grmnusb.sys. Yesterday I had 3 BSODs in a row that would happen as soon as I plugged in my Garmin Edge 305. The first happened while I was OCed. I rebooted and changed to default BIOS settings. Another BSOD when I reconnected the 305. So I uninstalled the Garmin USB driver and rebooted. Another BSOD when I connected the 305.I finally just left the Edge 305 connected and rebooted the computer and it came up ok and let me access the data on the device in a normal manner. And yet on the same system, I've had a number of times I've plugged the Garmin device in with no issues at all.When I first built the box (a couple of weeks ago) I had a BSOD from the Edge 305 connection, again with the gmnusb.sys tie-in. I rebooted, uninstalled the affected usb driver and all was ok for a time. And then the Garmin didn't want to connect so I re-installed the Garmin usb driver and all was well for a time.. and then, here we go again.Before I go though the routine of uploading the BSOD jcgriff zip files, I want to see if this is a known issue related to Z68 boards, or perhaps because I didn't re-install Windows 7 for the new hardware or if it's because computers just don't like me for some reason.

I've been having some serious trouble with my computer and CTD's and BSOD's related to what im fairly certain is something to do with my graphics card.
Long story short I've had repeated Service Exception BSOD'd for the past 2-3 weeks. In that amount of time I've run memtest to see if maybe my memory was to blame but that turned up nothing. I used driver sweeper to remove my nvidia drivers and put a fresh install on, and yet it still crashes.
I'm at my wits end here, normally its simply a matter of bad memory or a bad driver, but with this I have no clue what to do.
my computer is tweaking out, what usually happens is I will turn my computer on and it will load fine, connect to the internet fine and then i can do anything that is non internet related just fine, then I will start browsing the internet and it freezes...
another common thing for it do is it will start up and not have an internet connection and will not even display my usual home connection...then when i go to restart the computer it will automatically freeze...
it will also freeze say if i start up any game related to the internet, at first i thought it might be a virus but i have scanned with microsoft security essentials many times and nothing... i think my motherboard might be fried but i am not sure
i recently installed diablo 3, and in the process of installing i somehow managed to pin a shortcut to my taskbar. this shortcut says "Battle.net Account Management". the shortcut works, and is actually a link to the battle.net login screen. HOWEVER... i cannot right click or drag on the icon to try and remove it. i can drag it along the taskbar, but thats all. its a small problem but for one as OCD as myself its extrememly unnerving. i found a related thread in support, but it was for the diablo 3 beta.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI bought a new computer in Feb 2012 and the people that I bought it from put it together and I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Within the first week I was getting lots of random blue screens but being busy I couldn't deal with it and after the first week, then it was fine for about 2 months. I still have it under warranty.The blue screens were getting much more frequent, did memtest86 and had TONS of errors and took it in they said the ram was bad so they took out the bad ram and I've got it running now still with 8gigs.Took it home and every couple of days or hours or weeks I would get a blue screen related to memory such as MEMORY_MANAGEMENT or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA etc. The people I purchased it from told me that they wouldn't look at it again until I've reinstalled Windows again from scratch. So I did. Same thing, random blue screens usually pointing to memory and at random times too (sometimes running a lot of things, other times it's been idle). I do shut my computer down every night.I decided to do another memtest86 and this time the memory seemed fine. Did chkdsk and it was fine. The people that I bought the computer from then took it back, looked at it for a day and said it must be the mouse, ethernet, power, keyboard, monitor, printer or something connected and that they wouldn't look at it until I'd swapped all that stuff.So I bought new speakers, new mouse, disconnected printer, new cables and a new ethernet cord (didn't buy a new monitor). Still getting random blue screens. I don't think it's related to a piece of hardware as I am running them all on another Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine with no issues but just to be safe I swapped them all (except monitor).
View 1 Replies View RelatedWell this is my first post on the forum & immedially it is a blue screen post. Not entirely unexplainable since I was able to reproduce it and solve it!
Issue: Bluescreen when accessing redirected "my documents" folder.
Involved machines:
Windows 2008 server environment. The fileserver runs on a perc 5/i in RAID 5. The disc is configured as GPT as it is larger then 2 TB. Folder redirection is configured by a GPO towards the fileserver. Domain is running on windows 2008 functional level.
Test PC running Windows 7.
Cause & solution:
Well, basicly I could reproduce the bluescreen occuring each time I worked with files. I configured the initial rights on the fileserver according to this guide: How To Configure Folder Redirection (I keep forgetting what rights are needed "DUH")
What did happen to cause this issue? Well, I wanted to place data in the redirected folders to play around with. As I was currently working on the FS at that time I wanted to do it directly. Access was denied on the "my documents" of the test folder. So I took ownership... Apperantly the folders created by "folder redirection" differ quite a bit from 2003. I lost all rights on the folder. No biggie I figured, I just add the user to the ACL with full rights.
This is the moment I started to get the bluescreens on the Windows 7 test machine. And after a while it dawned upon me that the change of rights must have been the cause of it!
I disabled redirection of the my docs in the GPO, made sure the client machine was logged off, renamed the folder by adding .old, enabled the redirection again and logged in on the client machine.
I understand that taking ownership of the folder f*cked up the rights & windows needs these rights to work properly. It just seems that getting a bluescreen is a bit over the top.
I'm getting some occasional flickering in Windows 7 Media Center 64-bit. The flickering only occurs when the NVIDIA control panel is set to control video color settings and Dynamic Range is set to Full (0-255). This setting can be found as such:
NVIDIA Control Panel->Video & Television->Adjust video color settings->With the NVIDIA settings->Advanced->Dynamic Range->Full (0-255).
Without this setting, the drivers apparently default to the limited (16-235) color range, which results in noticeably washed out video with poor contrast and incorrect black/white levels. The flickering appears to be between the full and limited ranges, as if the drivers are doing one thing and the player doing another. Or something.
Also what is strange is that it doesn't happen all the time. Most often it occurs during commercials, whereas the main broadcast might be unaffected -- but that's not always the case. Haven't figured out what triggers it yet.
Anyone else run into this or have any ideas?
