I shut my computer off every night, sometime during the day if I'm not going to be on it for a few hours. A couple of times a week, upon shutdown, there is a DDE Server Window not responding error that stops shutdown until I tell it to "end program."
View 7 RepliesWhen shutting down my PC last night I got a DDE WINDOW SERVER NOT RESPONDING. END NOW message? I have never had it before and the only way I could shut down my PC was to end the task.

Eventually I get a "server not responding" I have done it many times. I am fixing to try to build a website for our horses, and didn't know if java would have any effect doing that or not. Any, I need to find out what is for security reasons if nothing else. I know there is a way to test the installer, but it is to technical for me to understand. I was hoing some one would have an idea where to start. It's a 3.1 (KB893803) what is it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOccasionally, I will go through the Shutdown procedure and, not wanting to wait the time it takes to be sure it actually shuts down, I will walk away only to find it still on hours later with a message on the screen "This Program is not Responding", with an available "End Now" button.Sometimes, it is more than just one program. I'll click on the End Now button and another will pop up within a fraction of a second or a few seconds with the same message.Is there a utility that will shut down Windows and/or give an end-now answer to these monolog boxes?The programs that are giving me these problems are too valuable to my work and too valuable to change--and in some cases cannot be replaced. All are designed for Windows 2000 or later and the problem happens on Windows 2000, Windows XP Home and Windows XP Pro on multiple desktop machines and my new Compaq laptop.
View 5 Replies View RelatedRecently I've noticed that when I shut down and reboot my desktop computer, there is a program that is not responding to the shutdown command and I have no idea what this program is, where it came from, whether it is spyware, virus, trojan, etc. I am running Windows XP Home edition and the name of the program is this: 7801a2f0-bfbd-40f4-9a8c-06b91134573d I have tried to Google it without any success. If anyone knows what this program is or where it came from, whether or not it is needed on my computer, etc., I would be interested to hear about it.

View 7 Replies View RelatedThe procedure is as follows:
Right-click databases -> Restore Database
I mark 'from device', click the '...' button & select 'File' in the dropdown, then brows to the file itself. Under 'select the backup sets to restore' I check the only checkbox there, then in the 'To Database' I select the name of the database in the file (a new DB name appears there as you select the file).
XP Pro SP2, all latest updates. When I reboot, I can correctly sync to a time server, but after an unknown amount of time it goes back to saying "The RPC server is unavailable" instantly after clicking Update Now, regardless of what server I tell it to sync to. I also noticed that if I view my nForce Networking Controller status, then click Properties and go to the Authentication tab, everything is greyed out. If I hit OK without changing anything (I can't change it even if I wanted to), a message pops up saying "An unexpected condition occured. Not all of your requested changes in settings could be made" and just goes back to that window. I have to hit cancel to close it

1. I've got to set up a Terminal Server Licensing server and was thinking about putting this on my second domain controller. I was wondering what would happen in this server dies, though. Is there some way of having resilience in this scenario? Perhaps a second Licensing server or something, the way you have 2 or more Domain Controllers?

View 8 Replies View RelatedThis is weird. I have to go through the shutdown procedure twice, i.e., Start/Shut Down/Shut Down and click Ok, then Start/Shut Down/Shut Down and click Ok again. It will then shutdown properly. The same thing happens when I try to "Restart." After doing the first shutdown sequence, everything is normal. I can open programs, surf the web, etc. It's as if I never tried to shut it down at all. Only after the second shutdown procedure will it shutdown fully. One note: When I go through the first shutdown sequence, my taskbar pops up and the desktop is darkened. After clicking Ok, the taskbar autohides and my desktop returns to its normal color.I have only had this problem for the last month or two. Before that, all was fine. It's not critical since I can shut it down. It's just annoying to have to do it twice.I have Windows 2000 Pro, SP4, build 5.00.2195.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen attempting to "shutdown" or "reboot", I have to do it twice. When I select "Start" then either shutdown or reboot, my desktop will flicker a couple of times, and then nothing appears to happen. I must select "start" again and then either shutdown or reboot and then they will work as expected.

View 2 Replies View RelatedA few weeks ago it started and got worse now that Windows shows the message "EXPLORER.EXE is not responding" during logoff/shutdown after it has been up for a couple of hours. After 2 or 3 minutes showing this message (I resist to abort the program), heavy hard drive activity and a low CPU load of approx. 5-10%, mainly kernel time, it continues and shuts down fine. Task manager shows that nothing much is happening during this 2-3 minutes except for page faults of explorer.exe thus I
assume it must be some paging performance problem. Generally, after these 2-3 minutes explorer.exe has accumulated another 20000 page faults before the system continues which seems a little bit much for a 25MB process. Sometimes, the heavy swapping for 2-3 minutes also happens while the system is running.The computer got a fresh XP Prof. SP2 setup from CD about two months ago. 512 MB main memory from which there is according to task manager 1/3 still available and the total memory usage is still far from that, too.
Several times a day when trying to open certain sites I get a pop-up telling me "This program is not responding" - I have no idea why this happens, it isn't just one program - it could be anything. Does anyone know why this is happening and what can be done about it.

View 11 Replies View RelatedSeveral months ago I upgraded my notebook PC to Win XP Pro SP2 and everything has been working very well. A few days ago however all of a sudden a lot of my applns (eg Internet Explorer) have become very hit and miss. Sometimes they work (for a while) after a boot but often they hang when I try and run them. When a program hangs I get an application not responding and when I shut down the program the PC pretty much just sits there - ie. I can see the Desktop and icons etc but nothing works, not even Start. If I try Ctl-Alt-Del the PC freezes with a blank (no icons) desktop screen and all I can do is power done the unit.
I'm running up to date Norton AV, Win firewall, Spy Sweeper - and I have scanned with Spybot S&D and Adaware and hijackthis. I have done on-line virus scans (trend micro, ewido, nai) until I'm blue in the face. A few medium risk files were found but nothing has helped fix the problem. Surprisingly, if I boot into Safe Mode IE etc seems to be working perfectly so it must be something (driver?) that is loading and conflicting in normal mode. BTW - when I try to run sfc /scannow in normal mode the program closes by it self half way through the scan. If I try to run sfc /scannow in safe mode I get a rpc server (whatever that is) is unavailable. Sure don't want to have to reload Win XP and all my applns and I'm hoping that if everything essentially works OK in safe mode, then I can fix whatever is screwing up in normal mode.
When I open outlook express 6 the screen pops up by giving the message "not responding".

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am running XP,SP3.I have Kaspersky anitvirus, PC Tools spyware doctor, Lavasoft Ad-aware (free), spybot search and destroy (free). Recently I had my computer wiped clean, so I have had all the updates from Microsoft. I am now experiencing a problem with my Internet Explorer. It will open, either from the start menu or the launch. However, if I close IE, it will not re-open. Then when I shut down or log off, I receive numerous pop ups that "iexplore.exe is not responding.click end now. The # of pop-ups I receive usually correspond to the # of times I have attempted to get IE to re-open OR during my session of surfing, how many links I may go out to. I started looking at my task manager, and I am finding 3-4 iexplore.exe running! I have already run all my scans, including in safe mode. Nothing has helped. I am getting ready to purchase XoftSpySE after researching real time protection.I have done some research and have seen that others are experiencing the same problem I am having but have already done everything suggested that I have found so far.
