I am using a browser, and for example looking at the forum here. When I close the browser without logging out from the forum and then restart the browser I am still logged in.
This never happens with Vista, I always have to login again
Does seven not close the programs properly to speed up the re-opening??
Does this not infringe on some aspect off security? Not for me I am the only user
I recently installed the new service pack for windows 7 and since then seem when I try to close down a program such as Word, Excel, my browser or Outlook they take ages to shut down. Computer seems to lock freeze quite often as well and take several seconds to start running again.
Running the following:- OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional , Service Pack 1, 64 bit Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10 Processor Count: 4 RAM: 4094 Mb Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 4350, 512 Mb Hard Drives: C: Total - 467517 MB, Free - 388075 MB; Motherboard: Dell Inc., 0N826N, A02, ..CN7360498L01H6. Antivirus: AVG Anti-Virus, Updated and Enabled
when running several programs on my Dell Inspiron laptop (Windows 7).
1)Outlook keeps stopping, Windows says it's checking for problems and can't find any. 2)Can't open the volume control and I have no sound lthough when I hover over the small icon on the lower right of the computer it says its at 52% 3)Can't open Windows Movie Maker from the start menu or from locating the .exe file within the C: drive.
probably others I haven't encountered today.Running Windows 7 (64 bit) on a Dell Inspiron 1545, have had it over a year. Using Avira AntiVir personal, perform full scans each night. Problem began last night (5/4/11). I received a backup file for Quickbooks Pro 2011 via e-mail and tried to restore it to Quickbooks (something I do weekly). QB program would begin opening, but couldn't. After working with a great tech from Intuit we discovered the folder holding the QB data files was the problem (corrupted?) and worked around the problem by creating a folder on the desktop to use for data and backups.Steps I've taken so far:
1) Updated MalWarebytes AntiMalware and ran a full scan. No malicious software found. 2) Ran the defrag program. C: had 3% (if I remember right) fragmented, and it ran 5 passes to fix that. 3) Updated CCleaner and ran the cleaner to delete unneeded files. 5) Avira had run last night and found nothing, so I didn't run it again. 6) In looking at Task Manager there's a file that seems out of place: qbw32.exe *32 Quickbooks isn't open and the usual QB program file is just qbw32.exe without the *32, so maybe that's a clue. 7) Another possible clue: our other computer has slowed to a crawl..currently on its 16th hour running a malwarebytes scan. Both access the same verizon e-mail so maybe something came through e-mail to plague us.
I have a question that I have been unable to solve but first I will start off by saying I am running boot camp on a mac, just so there is no confusion. I am an architecture student and am using a program called Revit to render 3D models regularly. Due to the long render times find myself stuck waiting many hrs up to many days with my computer tied up rendering. Recently, after a lapse in smart thinking, my battery went dead and I thought I had lost 4 hrs of rendering time. I then disappointingly restarted my computer to restart the render but found that Windows had saved, as a last effort to maintain my program files and unsaved data, the progress of the render and it continued upon reboot.
With vista and previous OS's it was easy to just right-click a program on the taskbar and hit the letter "c" to close it. you could very rapidly close a series of windows from the taskbar.
now in Windows 7 x64 when i right click a program in the taskbar and hit 'c' it simply highlights the "close window" option... requiring me to either have to hit enter or click on the selected option "close window"
is it possible to have things work like they used to ?? such that a right-click and then the letter 'c' would close the window without any additional input ?
I have 4 PCs running W7 Home Premium 32 bit all with the same annoying problem. Very often when I close Windows Live Mail 2011, Microsoft Security Essentials or Word Pad the corresponding process is killed but the window will not disappear before I click the Desktop Ikon. It only happens with those 3 programs. The 4 PCs are 1 Sony Vaio Laptop, 1 ThinkPad T60 and 2 ASUS Desktop PCs. It have been the same alle the time (for more than 1 year). Everything is 100% updated. W7s are OEM Versions. The Log do not show any problems referring to this issue.
I upgraded Vista x64 Ultimate to Win 7 x64 Ultimate. The upgrade went fine - no major issues with the upgrade process. I am, though, having some small issues when running 7:
1. Outlook 2007 process remains open after closing Outlook.
2. Very slow closing certain programs/games.
3. Gadgets doesn't work.
4. Occasional empty folder pops up on taskbar that I can't close.
5. WEI for my SATA3 HD is 2.9 - 500GB Seagate
6. System shutdowns take forever
The system, overall, seems to be quite responsive but the problems I'm running into are somewhat frustrating.
Not sure if these have been addressed in other threads yet, as I'm still searching them. I'm guessing that part of it may be due to MB driver issues, but not sure - running an EVGA 780i MB.
The only problem I have is that when I open or close certain programs I get an unavoidable 'black screen'. IE: When I get done watching some Death Note in Windows Media Center (full screen) and I decide to close it, occasionally it will close and just go blank. My monitor doesn't detect that it's been turned off, or that there's a problem.
So I'll do what a lot of people do, and ALT-CTRL-DEL once or twice to try and bring up that screen. No luck. The only time I can retrieve everything and save my data before shutting off my computer is if I have an unfinished word document and when I press my power button the screen comes back on and viola! I see windows again! It then asks me if I want to save my work, click cancel, I can resume my Windows 7 enjoyment.
Well, because I press the power button and Windows wants to shut down, it closes out of some services and other programs, so I'm limited (barely, but limited) to what I can do.
It is not only WMC that causes this. I play Combat Arms in full screen, and occasionally when the program opens (into it's full-screenness) it will black screen (and I can still hear the music, so the computer isn't crashing) or when I exit the game. For a bit I thought it was just when I play stuff in full-screen and my video card gives out.
So I open Game Maker, and I attempt to make a game every now and then. I save my work, throw my project into a test play, and everything works out. It begins in windowed, and so I don't screw anything up, I leave it that way. Well, I came here because that was the last thing I did. Close out of a windowed game that probably took barely, if any, video ram (I know it takes some, but old computers' on-board VGA adapters would have no problem running the program I made.) and I get 'black screen' after closing that.
Out of being piss off'd (yes. piss off'd.) I go to the ATI website and download the latest 7/Vista drivers for my Radeon X800 video card. Got the drivers, nothing special happened. Still get an occasional black screen. Got one of the forms of the Catalyst driver thing (I don't know what they are, so I just install them) and still nothing. I know that there is a sticky in this forum for the drivers, and I already have the drivers linked here.
So I tried the 32 bit link (getting catalyst stuff,) and I'm presented with the first download link being for 64-bit computers only. Why is it in the 32-bit page? I even look at the URL, and somewhere up there is says .../vista-32/sumin'... or something along those lines. So what the heck? Downloaded it. Now in its installation 7 keeps telling me "This program has stopped working," "This program has stopped working" all throughout the installation process.
Earlier I tried playing some Minecraft and noticed I would stop moving every 5-10 seconds, MC would freeze and then regain control after a couple seconds, then this behaviour would loop. I had Resource Manager open to the side and noticed C:pagefile.sys taking between 10-90MB/s HDD usage. I used the Crystal program thingy a couple months back and I think my HDDs had about 85MB/s Read/write. So obviously there's my problem.
Found out how to disable the pagefile.sys, and did that just fine. Now I'm getting some silly warning saying my memory is low ect ect. I have 8GB RAM and have 4 of those dedicated to MC in it's settings because I pretty much always have at least 5GB free, even when I have all my browser tabs/other programs open. I heard that this warning appears when you're at 75% used RAM or something, which is silly with PC's nowadays. Is there any way I can go about disabling this super awesome function?
A person who works from home brought his laptop in today as he was having issues printing. We have the same printer here so I hooked it up as he would do and got rid of his problem (a print job stuck in the queue! He has just called me and says that now he is back at home, his printer works fine but when opening or closing programs it goes in what he describes as 'slow motion'. He likened it to the same effect as when you switch on the trail for the mouse pointer. I haven't done anything which would affect things to my knowledge as I didn't install any updates / drivers / software etc.
sometimes when i try close the PC my screen gets error and it doesn't shut down, and when i start or close some games it gets me the BSOD error saying that there is a problem with cdd.dll Adress 972CB768 base at 872C0000 date stamp 4a5bd922
After that success with Skype into Win7 decided to have another look at the programs I had problems with..DataDirector 2 ; EzyChart ; EzyManager...I installed an Acronis backup file, the original install with only Acronis up and running..what do you know!! have installed those 3 program now into Win7 64bit..would cost way over A$1000. to replace these "must have" for me programs plus heaps and heaps of work to transcribe Tax nec. data..
DataDirector went in easly but the other 2 took a bit of fiddling..I did have these installed in Virt. XP mode but even though MS Virt. PC is the best I have used by a long chalk, there are delays starting it up and it will hang sometimes when you first click into it..increaded Ram allacation to 1g helped a little..much much better to have all the programs in Win7
Just a quick word on Vista..have used this program from when first out, some problems with driver to start but since have found it a great program for me ..stable and better than XP.. but am finding Win7 better than both especially 64bit.... has to be the way to go I remember 8bit and 16bit..Did anyone see that program on Quantam computers?? they will be like an ocean liner to a rowboat..all I have to do is live long enough!!
I downloaded Windows 7 from MSDNAA from my school and burned it to a blank DVD (4.90GB I believe is the capacity). Everything seemed to work fine and the burn didn't seem corrupted even when I burned it at full speed, so please keep this in mind for the following issue.
After I successfully installed Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit on my system, I ran into an issue. Certain programs will not open or execute at all, whether it be a setup file or even Internet Explorer 8. Windows Media Player opens sometimes, but bugs out too every now and then. This is hindering me because since this is a fresh install, that means I cannot begin to install drivers such as the latest Catalyst drivers for my HD 3870.
Even if I open it as Administrator, it does nothing but show the usual "Processing" mouse animation spinning symbol and after a while, nothing shows up. I checked the task manager and I see it is still running, but since I don't see anything, I have to kill the process. Again, this happens with more than 50% of the Application files/Programs that I have tried and this is a fresh install of Windows 7.
I have tried to re-install Windows 7 again to no avail.
One weird error message I got was when I tried to open the sample "Wildlife in HD" video just to test it out: "Server Execution Failed".
I don't know what else to try and right now I am using my laptop with Windows XP to use this forum since I can't even open my browser on my desktop. Is there a way to solve this problem? Sorry for my first lengthy post, but I wanted to provide as much detail as possible.
And I think my specs should show below since I filled that part out....does it?
I'm looking for a program which translates the OS(programs etc) into chinese. I understand that language package is only available for windows 7 ultimate but the cost is too extreme. The computer is a present(dell inspiron 17) I want to give to a friend but they are not very literate in ENglish so I was hoping there were alternative programs I can install to change the language settings.
I'm also aware there are windows 7 chinese versions but that too costs alot to purchase.
I just upgraded a 32 bit windows vista Sony Vaio to 64 bit windows 7, but all the shortcuts and original programs (accessories, dvd writers, etc.) installed by Sony are gone. Would like to know how to get these programs back. I had try to use the disc that came with the computer but it actually wipe out windows 7 and reinstall windows vista back onto the computer.
I have purchased and downloaded both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows7 Professional (no CDs or media here only download version)
I sucessfully upgraded from Vista 32 to Windows 7 32
Then I upgraded my hard disk (140Gb 500GB) and RAM (3GB to to 4GB)
Now I would like to go from Windows 7 32bit to 64bit
When I try and run the Windows 7-P-retail-en-us.x64.exe file it upacks the box then stops with this error:"We are unable to create or save files in the folder in which this application was downloaded. Please check the folder properties to make sure that you have security permission on the folder to write flies and that that folder is not read only".
I am the System Admin and I have full rights, and have moved the exe and the setup box files to My Documentsand I have modified the directory properties/attributes but I still get the same error over and over.
I searched the posts and some people stated one needs a clean install others say you can upgrade from any version so I am trying the upgrade here especially since the upgrade from Vista 32 to Windows 7 32 was smooth and did require all the extra work of a reinstall.
I purchased the Win 7 Pro Upgrade 32bit via digitalriver, but I've been doing some reseach and probably should have selected the 64bit version.
- Any ideas how I can get the 64bit version?
- For those who ordered the 32bit back-up disc kit for the extra $15 and have received it, does it come with both 32bit & 64bit?
- I've already installed and activated the 32bit version, but when I go to install the 64bit version, will I need to / is there a way to deactivate my initial 32bit install or will this not matter?
My desktop PC running Windows 7 64 bit behaves erratically when I close it down using the Start Orb - shut down button. Sometimes it closes down fully on other occasions the computer goes into a deep sleep, (the hard drive light continues to flash, the fans are running, the monitor screen goes off) but it will not respond to either the keyboard or the mouse, both of which are connected by USB cables.I then have to close down the computer by holding in the power button for about 10 seconds.When I next require the computer it boots normally and seems oblivious to its shut-down problem.I always ensure that no programs are running when I shut down the computer and cannot see any clues regarding what I was last doing before shut-down that might trigger a problem. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the USB device drivers to no avail.
I’m using windows worms dors cleaner tool to close ports , these ports ( 137 , 138 , 139 , 135 and 5000 ) , successfully closed but i can’t close port 445 , so please tell me how to close port 445 .
I'm currently running 32-bit Windows 7 (Professional, full version) on my laptop, and want to use this machine to create a bootable USB drive with 64-bit Windows 7 (also Professional, full version). I tried going through the steps that are available on various tutorials online, but I'm always tripped up while attempting to use bootsect to make the drive bootable; basically I get an error saying that I need to be using a 64-bit OS.
I don't have convenient access to a computer with 64-bit Windows Vista/7 (I work at an academic institution where all pubic computers have XP or Linux), so I'm wondering if there's any way to get around this and create a bootable USB for 64-bit Windows 7 via a 32-bit OS.
I just got a new HP laptop running Intel Core i7 and Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm also using IE 9. A lot of times when I have a tab open in IE9, and open a new tab, either by clicking on the new tab, or a link inside the current page opens the new tab when I click it - when I'm done with what I needed and go to close the new tab, I get an error message 'Internet Explorer Has Stopped Working' IE freezes until I close the error window. It doesn't happen every time a new tab is opened - I just can't narrow it down to what is actually causing it.
laptop is running win7 x 64 bit, i have one program that opens ok but closes after about 12 second, i have this same program in my XP home laptop and it runs perfectly.his is not a virus problem , i have tried ( one at a time ) a paid for version of vipre, a free version of malwarebytes and a free version of zone alarm, all with the same result.i have opened the program when i have not been connected to the internet
OKay, so this week oblivion was on sale for 5 bucks on steam and im like sure, why not, because my xbox game broke forever ago. I purchase it and install it and when i try and start it up and press play in the launcher, it says, "Oblivion has stopped working". I can't get it to work. What I don't get is that I can run Skyrim on maximum graphic settings.
i usually started to got alot of BSOD after closing games like PES 2012 or S4 League and this is becoming annoying . I used WhoCrashed v3.06 (HOME EDITION ) to analyze my BSOD and this is what i got after my last BSOD error when i closed a game: [code] I can't understand what those two BSOD means , but i think they are the problem . I will attach the dump file i got and the files that i got from the SF Diagnostic Tool.
Well I have a iPod so I have iTunes but heres my problem when i click the X to close the program it freezes on me and the only way to get it to close is to go to Task Manager then process's and find itune.exe, i have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and nothing has helped and i'm not finding anything on google that fixes my problems either.
i start a new thread in oder to know if any one have the same issue with ACDsee Pro,The thing that ACDsee pro in my computer close very slowly , i have to wait for about 10sec to have it closed completely.i explique the situation,double click on one photo, it starts automatically ACDsee view in full screen (good thing) press Esc to close the full screen view: have to wait 10sec .(bad thing - issue) - in Vista or XP, it was below 1 second.Others soft go normally with Windows 7 Condition,windows 7 updated full,My Pc is protected by Kaspersky 2010 Kiss with all update full.
