I don't know what happened but I can no longer open Event Viewer. When I click on the icon to open it, the computer appears to work for a split second but then nothing happens. No window opens or anything.
View 5 Replieskeep getting it logged as an error. I have gone into Adjust Date and TimeInternet Timeand it is set to automatically synchronize with time.windows.com and on a scheduled basis. When I try to update or change the setting I get an error message that an error occurred while windows was synchronizing. I have tried to do a system file check but get the error message that Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested service or start the Repair Service. I have checked that Windows Modules Installer is set to manual and so I don't know how else I can repair this error 131.

I have recurring 910 and SENT something to do with taskhostex.exe under performance and slower than usual computer. The only thing I have done is install IObit driver program after MS win update screwed up AMD 7420G graphics driver and caused a crash. Should I uninstall IObit, and see if that fixes it? The drivers installed by IObit will still be there to load? IObit fixed the crash
View 1 Replies View RelatedI started up my computer and Windows explorer randomly froze up and hung. I didnt do anything to provoke it. I just sat here waiting for my computer to boot up.Then when I thought it was finished I opened firefox. Then Windows explorer just freezes completely. I tried doing windows key + r. It opened the run window but it froze. Then I tried moving my mouse on the right to open up the charm bar, ( I think it's called that) to hit settings and then restart. When I clicked settings the whole bar just closed out and would close out every time.
I right clicked on the task bar to try and open task manager. When I clicked on task manager it wouldn't ever open. So I couldn't even shut down properly. I just pushed the power button. Then I turned it on again and the same exact thing happened.So I shut it off again.
Then I turned it back on and went to msconfig before it froze up and I set it to boot into safe mode.Then I got into safe mode and ran a malware bytes scan and an avast scan. Nothing came up on either so I just went back to normal boot. The problem stopped now but I want to know what caused that whole thing to happen because it hasn't happened to me before.So I want to look at event viewer to see if that'll explain it. Where would I find that at in event viewer?

View 1 Replies View RelatedLately, while browsing, the computer start to freeze in this way:
First the browser (any browser) gets stuck loading pages but it is responsive (I can change tabs, scroll, select text etc)
The taskbar stops working at all and the mouse cursor changes to spinning circle when I hover on it.
The desktop screen seems to work at first, but it freezes too with the spinning circle if I open anything or right click.
CTRL ALT DEL, ALT TAB and start screen shortcuts won't work.
I have to reset because I can't reach shutdown or reboot options. Then the computer returns to normal.
Checked hard disk, and sfc /scannow without any errors. No errors in Event viewer.
Since installing Windows 8 Professional 64bit I have been experiencing lots of differnt erros / warnings in event viewer. I have attached an admin log from event viewer which shows the majority of the erros. I currently have all the latest drivers and Windows updates installed. I have contacted Gigabyte for a newer BIOS and they provided me with the latest BETA Bios that they have but this still dates back to 2011.
I have also installed the latest firmware available for my Corsair 120GB SSD. How I can go about resolving these errors.
Heres the log from event viewer:
Log Name: Application
Source: Application Error
Date: 6/2/2014 1:20:44 AM
Event ID: 1000
Task Category: (100)
Level: Error

Thats the end of the log. I just got this computer back from servicing...
Clean install, right from the beginning I see on a daily basis errors stating something like the zune music and video apps cannot be updated, it won't update from store either, I'm just guessing where this isn't released to the public yet.

This issue it happens for too long I can't open photos of any kind with the windows photo viewer, I don't know how it happened and I don't remember when. When I try to open nothing happens.. its like something happens for a fraction of a second and nothing. I tried almost everything, well, accept for restore but there is no chance I am doing it the cost is too big.
I just noticed that when i try to view a photo file, two processes pop for a fraction of a sec and immediately disappear, one is COM Surrogate and the other Windows Problem Reporting.
Windows Photo Viewer ? now when I open picture I see it not in max size of windows.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI noticed a (very long) thread that is exploring issues with Windows 8.1 not sleeping properly, and while I've also had issues putting my computer to sleep, I'm more concerned right now with its inability to hibernate. I've been having my laptop hibernate most nights since I got it last year, and it's been working fine (with the occasional shut down instead of hibernation) up until a few days ago. It will not hibernate anymore. I have every power option set to 'hibernate': it's supposed to go into hibernation automatically when I close the lid, push the power button, anything. I've also set up a shortcut on my desktop that used to put it into hibernation, but now, when I go to wake it up afterwards, I've found its has shut down and closed all my apps and documents. At first I thought I was waiting too long between sessions and it automatically shut down after 12 hours for example, as I've recently come home from college and I'm going longer between wake-ups, but last night I put it into 'hibernate' and an hour later tried waking it up only to find it had had shut down again.
I've got Windows 8.1 but hibernate was working for weeks on it until recently. I've DEFINITELY got hibernate enabled in my power options, I've checked about a million times. I don't think I installed or changed anything around the time I started having these issues.
I tried to use my license key to Add Features to Windows 8.1 but then I got that message.
It didn't say that when I first did it!
Before upgrading to 8.1 I had a cool Photo Viewer. It was the default viewer so I do not have an app name.
When I selected Photos from the main Start screen, there would be 10 to 15 photos on the screen at the same time and different sizes (large thumb nail). Plus the photos changed individually in a random way. Selected photos randomly from different folders. Very cool.
After upgrading to 8.1 all I get are full screen individual photos in a slide show format.
Is there an app that I should download or am I missing something?
I updated my Windows 8 to 8.1 version, and after I installed recommended updates for 8.1, my laptop restarted and from that time I cant log in anymore, when i type anything it says wrong password or username, but when i type correct it says Invalid pointer, and now i cant nothing, i cant even start in safe mode.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI had a very very disturbing experience in which I was forced to shut down the computer, but failed and accidentally sent it to sleep.
Unfortunately, it never managed to wake up. It stayed during half an hour blocked early in the restarting process... I took my chance with a hard-reset.
And then it becomes insane. It gives me the cold shoulder, just hanging in a "Reverting changes" task. It's been a good while too.
I stand in awe wondering how is it even possible to break my setup like this. Considering the damn thing came with no restoring CD of any kind, on a scale of it's all fine to you're screwed, how exactly would you rate me ?
I have windows 8 installed for just over a week now. Everything seems to work just fine untill today i found something that rather annoys me.
When in the start/metro menu you right click on the bottom right corner you will have the 'all apps' option. When i clicked on it a few days ago you go to see a list of all your installed apps, like it supposed to. But now when i click on it i just get a blank (in my case) green screen with nothing on it. Pressing the windows key will get me back at start.
Also when searching for apps (windows key+q) it seems like the searching freezes and crashes sending me back to the original start screen. I have the same problem on my laptop where i installed the same windows 8
I'm using the 32 bit version of Windows 8 pro.
I have bought a new computer with 8.1 . When i did the first setup and i had to choose the language i wanted italian but it wasn't there so i choose english and i downloaded the LP later. I installed all the updates inculded Update 1 and everything worked fine. After one week of normal use when i restarted the PC it sayed the was making operations on windows and it lasted like 20 min . I have the OS installed in SSD so it is fast.
After the restart i opened events and saw and error for LP cleaner and CBS initialization.Later i did a restore and checked region and language in control panel and it was working. I opened LPKsetup and uninstalled le LP manually , after the restart Region and language didn't work. I checked for the file intl.cpl in c/windows and there was like 30 files there, in my other pc that has only one language installed there are only 5. How to repair region and language so it can open?
I tried to make recovery discs but Win 8.1 won't allow that anymore. This is from a MS full install disk, not OEM partition or similar. I tried the flash drive method and it did do that. However, the customer had only a USB flash drive adapter that allows MSD to fit. It accepted that and created the recovery flash drive using that setup. However, upon rebooting it just doesn't go into recovery mode. It just sits there prior to boot menu setup after pressing [ESC] for the laptop. What is going on? I know the flash drive is holding the boot process after I press [ESC] to enter boot menu for the laptop, what gives. I really don't think a true flash drive will work as well, though i couldn't test that at the time.

I just upgraded my desktop to Windows 8 from Windows 7 using digital download. Everything was running smoothly as I was installing apps and drivers. My graphics driver required a reset after installing, and now when I try to boot up my computer, after the bios and initial windows logo happen, the screen goes dark and the computer stalls. After a while it'll give me 4 beeps. I tried the automatic repair, which seems to be the only thing I can do since I can't boot to the start menu, but the result is the same. I used digital so I have no media to boot from, is there anything I can do to fix this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedToday, for the first time, when I started my computer, the icons on the desktop (I use the old-style desktop) had shifted such that there was nothing in the top left corner. And I cannot drag anything up there anymore - there's this blank spot where I always used to keep my "My Documents" user profile folder. I turned off the option to be able to point up there and switch apps, and it didn't work.

I have the problem since a few weeks (mostly after a tile update), and I'm not the only one, my friend has it too on both his laptop and desktop, that the live tiles, or actually some of them, for example weather, are not refreshing anymore. It just shows the blue weather tile. When I open it, it works though, news the same. Also I tried to deinstall and reinstall the weather app, but now it doesnt even show the "use live tile" button anymore (look at picture).

If I download a .PDF document and then open it from the browser (Chrome) downloads area, the PDF is opened using the inbuilt Windows 8 PDF viewer in the Metro interface. I would like to change that so I can open it using a PDF viewer of my choice (say Nitro for example) and preferably on the desktop instead of metro.
how to do that?
