Cursor Will Temporarily Freeze/hesitate With The New Hardware Recognized?
Nov 11, 2011
This happened on a previous computer running Vista Home. The cursor will temporarily freeze/hesitate with the new hardware recognized, sound alert. With the previous computer, after much grief, it was determined the processor was failing.
This is an entirely new assembly with Windows 7 - 64 bit installed.
Mobo: ASUS m2n68-am se2
CPU: amd athlon II x2 245
Socket AM3 (938)
Bios: american megatrends INC - version 0704 - 05/19/2009
4 gigs DDR2
Nvidia Ge Force 8800 GT
Creative SB X-fi Sound Card
All drivers are current. No matter what mouse I use, this cursor hesitation with the new hardware sound alert happens and is happening with continuing frequency.
I set up an alternative wireless mouse, and I'm currently switching back and forth, when one fails the other one works.

if I can temporaily deactivate in a LAPTOP the function keys (F1, F2 and so on, normally dedicated to functions like dimming, changing volume...), so I can use them for gaming? some games need that keys, but I cannot use them because they do something else...

I find the aero snap feature of windows 7 really useful, just not all the time. What I would love is for a feature where the 'snap' kicks in that I could press a key (ctrl, alt, shift something like that) that would temporarily disable snap so that I can position windows where I want.Is there anyway of achieving something like this, either natively or through third party software?

I have two internal 750GB HDs - one is partitioned to C (Windows) and the other D (data). The other is E and simply a mirror backup of D which I do once a day.
The problem is that the E drive goes to sleep after XX minutes but some applications or processes (e.g. Empty Recycle Bin) want to wake it up before they work, which means a delay of ~10 seconds as the E drive spins up - very annoying.
How can I temporarily disable the drive until I need it for the once a day backup?

Ever since I've built this computer, I have failed to figure out where this small problem is coming from. Here is an example: I will be browsing the internet and all of a sudden (whatever task I tell the browser to do) will freeze, while everything else remains operational (mouse, other programs, etc.). After about 10 secs average, it resumes what it is doing. Now this goes the same for any other program I am in, for instance: my game that I play will freeze up temporarily, and i can alt-esc to return to windows and everything is still fine there but the game is still froze, after about 10-20secs, its resumes what it is doing. Unsure if this is just a driver issue or a hardware conflict.

So I have an administrator account for maintenance purposes and I also have my frequently used standard account. Usually, when you right click on a program, for example: Spybot S&D There is an option to "Run as Administrator". And if you click it, it prompts for an admin password.but for me, it does not ask for an admin password, it just ignores the fact that I clicked that completely, and runs it as a standard user.
This happens whenever I need admin privileges for something. I cannot elevate my privileges on a standard user account.It used to work properly, until I changed my account type to standard, and enabled the Administrator account.

Windows 7 Home Premium
Dell Inspiron N7010

My netbook will bog down horribly. Rebooting clears things up - but only temporarily. This is a Toshiba NB505 Netbook running Windows 7 Starter 32-bit. Below are screen shots of task manager and msconfig.

I have a Zotac 570 gtx connected via HDMI cable to my Asus VE258 LED monitor.I've had this video card and monitor setup working before with the exact cable, card and monitor.Something changed in my system where the monitor is no longer recognized for what it is. When i go into my Nvidia control panel under change resolution 1.Digital Display, 2. DVI-PC Display - Resolution 1080p 59 Hz. There is no DVI cable plugged into the computer and the monitor is set on HDMI input. When i go to my Audio playback devices, the HDMI connection does not show up at all, even as disabled or disconnected.When i go to play a game (Diablo 3, Skyrim, Farcry2) The game either doesn't open (skyrim) giving me the error that resolution is not recognized (but then does not give me any resolutions to choose from in the options menu) or will play (Diablo 3) but is stuck on extremely low resolutions with only 2 options.
Here's what i've done. Contacted Zotac and had them send me the most recent drivers for the video card. Uninstalled originals and re-installed the new ones. Contacted Asus (they say its not the monitor as long as its set on HDMI input) I am unable to find a driver that will make my computer (Windows 7) recognize the monitor for what it is. Zotac failed after their attempt with the driver and told me to RMA the card. So i did... i waited a month.

i've had this pc for a year almost now and it just started to freeze at random moments for like 10 seconds, but after that it return to normal. it can really be annoying while watching Internet or something the sound gets really irritating. the picture stays the same, and after few seconds it just quickly rewinds in few pictures.
pc config
cpu : intel core 2 quad cpu q8300 2.5ghz
mother : asrock p43de3
memory : xms3 (ddr3 2x2gb)
graphic : ati radeon hd 5850
supply : cx600 corsair
if anybody can help i would be grateful.... and yea i think (but im not 100% sure) the longer the pc is up and running the more often it will happen... and it happens while im watching Internet most of the time (or any streams). it doesn't happen while i'm playing any video games or anything like that (maybe it does but it is rare).... and it can happen while im on desktop just copying some files any that.

Obviously I use Windows 7 since i am posting in this category. I am in desperate need of some assistance. My computer lately has been lagging or momentarily freezing when I open a program or window. The most disturbing problem is that my laptop shuts off whenever it feels like it. I had to do a System Restore just to get it to turn on yesterday. Luckily I have come acrossI have a working knowledge of computers, enough to get me by so far, but this is way out f my league. In case the info is important I use AVG for anti-virus and also Windows Advanced Care (recommended by a friend). My computer is used mainly for gaming so I would love to get this fixed ASAP since shutting down mid boss fight is highly irritating.

On many occasions, after I close IE8, seems like iexplorer.exe freezes. I can open Task Manager via Ctrl+Alt+Del but it does not respond to any mouse/cursor action. Therefore I can't "End Process" since the window does not respond. I can see two iexplorer.exe processes still running but I cant terminate them.
The workaround is to "Log Off" and then log back in. I am the only user and have full administration rights.
When I log off, I can see all pending actions blink momentarily before I am logged off. Ex; Start pullup opens, Taskbar right click popup shows up, etc.
Other than that it seems to work fine. Only four (4) add ons on the Browser; IDM, AVG, Adobe and Google.
SpyBot, AVG and Malware Bytes don't find anything wrong.
Any suggestions?

Every time I click on a gray scrollbar and drag to scroll, Windows 7 freezes. I notice this most in explorer (first happened in control panel), and it seemed to be just a problem with any scrollbar in explorer, but then it happened in OpenOffice too.
In Firefox however, there doesn't seem to be a problem. I have just installed Windows 7 RC (32-bit) on my brand new computer, so surely not a virus/malware issue. All drivers up to date.
I'm able to reset or hard shutdown. Cannot Ctrl+Alt+Del.

I have recently installed windows 7100 x64 on my acer 5920G laptop.
t7300, 8600mgt, 2gigs of ram
antivirus: nod32 v4.
The problem is that after a period of time of using my laptop (movies, browsing,...) it just ends responding. (I'm talking about 10-15minutes of use) for example:
Im watching an xvid, the xvid freezes, I say '**** not again'. Then I try to exit the mediaplayer and get to my desktop, try to get to the taskmanager but can't. Then it freezes. The hdd light remains on and stays like this. after this I do a forced shutdown but pushing the button for 7sec.
This same problem also occures when I'm on the net with my mozilla firefox browser, I don't know about the other browsers but I'm guessing that they would have the same issue.
All my devices work fine except for the intel turbo memory (pci memory controller) for wich i can't find a driver... there's another thread about it on this forum but the people don't seem the have the same problem I'm experiencing.

I am on a 640 GB western digital HDD running Windows 7 Professional.
The symptom is that the computer RANDOMLY - no pattern to the freezing whatsoever- freezes. During this time, whatever sound was playing will stutter for a while, the screen will remain frozen with the image that was last on it. Their is no keyboard response, numlock etc... or mouse response.
Upon restarting, the event log has no recollection of what caused the issue. I have checked,many, many times, over the course of 3 weeks now. The only error it contains is the one stating that the computer unexpectedly shut down. Nothing else is pertinent.
I have all the latest drivers, for everything, BIOS updates, etc... as well as windows updates.
On top of that, i have reformatted my computer, and the problem still persists, but here's the kicker:
On a secondary drive, running windows XP professional 64 bit, the computer works just fine, never freezes at all, so i doubt its any hardware component, i have left it on for days to test this, and it still functions properly.
Specs:
E8500 Intel processor, core 2 duo 3.16 Ghz
8 GB of RAM
Cross-fire setup: two ATI Radeon HD4850 series cards
All on a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P motherboard

I have a D-Link USB hub (DUB-H4) and it no longer shows up in windows 7. If I plug a flash drive directly into a usb port on top of my tower it shows up fine. When I plug it into my hub nothing.I tried unplugging the hub from the computer and plugged it back in to see if it would reinstall itself but windows does not detect it.

It worked fine before. It is the one in the actual computer - not a hub.

I decided to get rid of antivirus and just turn User Account Control on (I had it off)but the problem is when I turn this on, the computer cannot recognize any usb. Nothing shows up on disk management either. And when I turn it back off it works again.
