I cannot get my IE to respond to UNsecure sites. Works great with secure sites. Neither will some programs update. Also MSN messenger will not see an internet connection. I am using dial up here.. I know, but nothing else is available here. My ISP is AOL. I had Earthlink free for 6 months when I got my computer, at the same time I had AOL, both worked fine with each other installed. AFTER I installed Earthlink Accellerator IE would no longer work with aol. Mozilla still works good as ever. I have spybot, adaware, and have cleared all history, etc. in IE. Does anyone have any idea what my problem is. I have contacted Dell, AOL, Earthlink and done what they said, no one can help me. I found something on the net about a guy that had the same prob. one time and he had to change something in the registry.
Well ever since I installed Bitdefender 9, it seems that my computer has gone slow. It starts up quick and all but its when i'm browsing, or choosing to bring up another program on the toolbar, or to start a new program. Its like the programs arn't responding and then I eventually have to wait for everything to work again, its a real pain in the butt because I tried deleting Bitdefender and it won't let me because i get a "Write to folder C:WINDOWSInstaller" message and same with ANY other program I try to uninstall in Add/Remove Programs.
Is there somewhere to look (like event viewer??) when this error comes up.It does not always happen ..why is that ??as the same programs are always running.Could it relate too not enough memory?Have done all the usual defrag,Adaware,Norton scan, etc.
Have been having problem lately w/ alot of my programs freezing up w/ Not Responding noted in task manager and have to close program. Have defragged, ad aware, and spybotted to no avail. I've looked thru threads but can't seem to find cure. Do alot of work w/ PS elements and performance has slowed considerably. Also Roxio DVD creator freezes almost everytime I use it now. Dell w/ P-4,512 RAM,XP home. Ran Pitstop and it highlighted fact that CPU usage was @ 30 while idle. No viruses etc. found when I run Norton, but would note that when I run Liveupdate that it is unable to install "symantec redirector" update. Thoughts or ideas?

I have 4 sign in's including the administrator, when I log in under the administrator, no programs or icons respond, including My Computer. Under the other log in's, they do respond but I do not have access to make changes or to see my data to back it up. I managed to install Norton Antivirus from DOS and cleaned up a few viruses but programs will still not respond. Should I reinstall XP, would I loose my data ? Also I can not find my XP disk but do have the package with the key, can you download another version and input the key?
Lately alot of my programs are (not responding). I've run virus scan, defrag, scandisk, Spybot, Ad-aware, you name it. Searched web and only find answers related to single programs, yet ALOT of my programs are not responding. At one point I could not get Task Manager to come up to end non-responding program.
When i start shutting down pc it shows every program "Not Responding" and then it shots it closing. And for every program like that. Auto EndTask is 1 but still it Shows how tasks ends.2.When pc is already at "windows shutdown" stage then sometimes comes svcadmin.exe Installation failed.
my family have damaged the computer in some way that im not sure about. I do not know whether its a virus or something else. On startup, all the programs that run automatically fail to and the "Program not responding" message is displayed for each one, and programs continue try to open to no effect. Any program which i try opening after that also has this problem. When i look at the task manager, no processes are given any memory usage.
My laptop has just decided to run very slowly of late.So much so that I am unable to run certain programs. Some will load up but if you try and navigate through any screens etc the program will stop working (comes up with not responding in windows task manager).This is even happening with windows explorer.I've got Norton 360, which although it should automatically boot up at start up is failing to do so.I can't even get it to run to perfom a system scan.This leads me to think I may have a nasty virus or worse still failing hardware
I am running on windows XP SP2 integrated. I realised that whenever I start my PC,windows does not respond(i.e. when I click on my internet explorer and all other applications / programs,they do not respond).I have to wait for at least 10-15 mins or restart 2 to 3 times,then windows can respond.I really do not know what is going on.I have scanned my PC with noadware but found nothing.Should I reformat my PC or perform a system restore? I am currenting using Intel Pentium III processor with 801 MHz,256MB of RAM.
I was checking my daughters pc for some usual maintenance. The start programs on list suddenly dont open, computer freezes up, did the error-checking but I cannot seem to get some vital prgrams to open up. I am running a couple of recent worm tools from Symantec and so far, nothing. Could this be a hardware problem or can someone tell me something I am missing?
I reinstalled Windows XP. For some reason, all of my old programs show up in Windows Explorer, but not in the Start Menu or in Control Panel/Add Remove Programs. Is there a way to fix this?
my P.C keeps going to Not Responding, all the time no matter what program is running, I am running XP with service pack 2 installed, can anybody tell me what the problem might be??
A 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.
I am running XP professional. When the computer is booting up it stops and comes up with an error message "explorer.exe is not responding" and will not let me into the desk top. What do I do to get past this error message and how do I fix it.
Several 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". When I click END PROGRAM, I get this "ERROR SIGNATURE : szAppName: msimn.exe szAppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 szModName : hungapp zsModVer : 0.0.0.0. offset: 00000000 ERROR REPORT CONTENT C:DOCUME~1OlivierLOCALS~1TempWER5168.dir00msimn.exe.mdmp C:DOCUME~1OlivierLOCALS~1TempWER5168.dir00appcompat.txt".
I 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. There is nothing on Microsofts website on this.
When 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.
Lately I accidentally disabled all my services on my computer, and it said since major hardware changes happened I needed to activate windows.Whenever I click yes it goes to a white window, and it's not responding.Is there any way around this or another way to activate windows?Also if I want to activate windows, do I need my XP set up disk?I'm hoping the answer is no, because I don't have it.
When I try to shut my pc off, I get, "WND for PNSETUPMGR not responding". Then it sits at the blue screen and WILL NOT shut off. I have to turn it off at the power source.I did a Google search. Some say it could be spyware but I couldent find a fix.Im using TrendMicro AV/AS which is up to date etc but it says its clean.
When I open My Computer it freezes and does not respond.Everything else seems to work fine and after closing My Computer the computer runs fine.It also freezes when I get to My Computer when going through Save As or other routes.It has been doing this for 4-5 days now.I have run Malwarebytes and AVG Free with no infections.Computer is an older Dell Desktop P4 2.4 GHz with 1.5 GB RAM Tower (I don't have the model # here now) running Windows XP Home 2002 SP3.
Window XP, Dell Dimenison 4400. Everytime when i click 'IE' (big blue E) to open, type for website to open, but then freeze, i did try click anywhere but nothing, it say (Not Responding) on top of bar, click 'X' to close, popup it say 'This program is not responding', so try again IE to open, same thing, thats sometimes is fine and sometimes freeze. Why that? i did try Spybot, AVG, Adware, microsoft antivirus, nothing found!
I have a dell desktop p4 2.4ghz w/ 1 gig Ram. For the past month or so, I have been having printer freeze-ups. I have a HP1012 hooked driectly via USB, and 3 other networked printers (2 HP and a Brother laserfax printer). The weird parts - it will freeze randomly, and will freeze when printing to any of the printers!! I may go a week between freezes, or a day. When it freezes, I can not bring up the "PRINTER and FAXES" in windows, and when I click on the printer icon in my time tray, nothing happens. I then must usually cntrl-alt-del to end whatever program was printing, then restart. When I try to restart, I always get an "Explorer can not close" message and must "end now", before it will turn off, and then it will take forever in the "Windows is shutting down" screen before it reboots.
I have Xp and i just installed a bunch of new programs and when i go into the start all programs menu there all highlighted in that orange tint and even after clicking the shortcuts they still stay like that is there a way how to get rid of it
Just did an upgrade install of Win2k on a Win98SE system. I've had this computer for ages and did not want to do a clean install.The upgrade went fine except for one problem.In my add/remove program section all of my previously installed programs are missing.They were not deleted, just missing from add/remove.How do I restore these programs back into the add/remove program section?
I need to use the "control-alt-delete" to end a program that is hung-up and not responding and I then get the dialog box asking me if I want to send a message to Microsoft telling them about the problem. First of all, is there really any reason to send this message, and if not, how can I prevent this dialog box from showing up again?
