My pc is so slow that it takes ages to play a song in wmp11. Ive used tools like ad-aware and registry mechanic, tune up utilities. But still no improvement. It used to be just fine, until I installed some pay-for-viewing add program. I have uninstalled it since then, but the slowness remains. And the processor is hogged, at the highest level, even though i killed many a startup processes.

I am confused, but I will describe this best I can: explorer.exe crashes when viewing folders or anything built on explorer.exe (I guess) at exactly 11 seconds in on them. It also randomly crashes every couple hours. Im extremely confused by all this

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having problems starting both Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer. Both generate the same error: "Internet (or Windows) Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." The details show that ole32.dll is the guilty module. So far I've had no success in locating a solution. I am using Windows XP Home Edition. I should also note that the control panel won't function either since it is basically part of Windows Explorer.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI started getting browser and sometimes PC crashes. At first it seemed to be browser related. But the PC would also crash when idle. I tried disabling add- ons in Firefox and opening in safe mode. Tried using Chrome but it would crash with the message that Flash had malfunctioned. Then I started getting Stop messages and BSODs.I hadn't installed and new hardware and, I don't think, installed any new big programs except for updates to existing ones.
I emailed a few of the mini dump files to a friend. He said they didn't specify which drivers were causing the problem. But it might be something to do with the video or the network card. I rolled back drivers. No change. I updated drivers and uninstalled lots of programs. For a month everything seemed stable. Then the BSODs started to return. Infrequently at first but then more regularily. Sorry the story is a bit confused but it is difficult to remember every detail of what happened and the order I did things in.
I recently put together a new PC - AMD X2 4800 / Nvidia 8800 GTS.For the most part it seems fine (just played through the first hour of HL2 / Episode 1 with full details etc and no issues at all), however, when i'm just idling around the windows desktop, browsing, shifting files around etc, I frequently get a complete lock up.During these lock ups the keyboard becomes unresponsive, the display stops updating etc, but the mouse cursor still moves in a laggy sort of way, for a few minutes until a BSOD flashes for an instant and the PC reboots. Eventviewer has a few offers on the subject. problems with the i8402prt driver failing to load, which would appear to be keyboard / mouse related somehow.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am having problems with IE7 crashing. I have run all spyware and adware programs, I even uninstalled them as well as some other programs that I thought might be causing problems. I disabled the shell extensions that were not Microsoft or Windows IE.
I monitor calls on a site--I call up popups that contain the calls--I go along fine and then out of no where the windows freeze up and I cant get out. Then i get the "IE needs to close"I have been working on this site for 3 years now and never had a problem. I do this at my day job too and I haven't had any problems. I am running Windows XP, Serv Pak 2, IE7 and Bellsouth DSL FastAccess Extreme
Any idea what I could do next? Please let me know
Thanks

I've had some problems with IE crashing. I have Windows xp with sp2 installed. I went through the error report and most contain a problem with mshtml.dll. I got the windows web site and it said that there is some problem with sp2 in this case and they have a hot fix. But it looks like I would have to pay $99 bucks to contact microsoft and get it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't have the windows bar (the one with the start) and I can only run programs through the CTRL+ALT+DEL and having a new task created. I was contaminated with several trojans/worms/etc but I think now I clean, since i already run Spyware Dr. and Spybot. I also already run Trend micro online clean and I have avast antivirus installed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I was helping out my neighbor fix his network and I needed some extra help in configuring the router. So I went on linksys' website to chat with tech support. Take all the steps update firmware blah blah... Then I try to get back on the chat login and I was waiting at number 1 in line for about 20 mins and I thought it was a bit weird. Then I closed the window and tried to reopen IE and it keeps freezing on me. I rolled back the system by a day and still having that same problem.
View 3 Replies View Relatedmy system has been acting up today. I got home from class and tried to install my Microsoft Visual Studio, it asked me to restart after the installation. When I did, right when it got to the desktop it said something about a registry problem has been restored and the system has been recovered. Something along those lines. Getting back on the subject, 5 seconds after it reaches the desktop it crashes. Not a hard crash, just a restart, but it crashes none-the-less. Is there a way to get around this without reformatting?(I even tried running in Safe Mode, same problem.) I can't seem to find a way to fix it if I can't even get to my desktop.
View 11 Replies View RelatedA couple of weeks ago I downloaded latest windows update and rebooted as instructed. Only the PC kept rebooting itself continuously. When I stopped it with F8 and set it not to restart on errors I got a critical windows error message. I reformatted drive and reinstalled windows, all was fine for a couple of days, then here is the really wierd thing. I heard the fan spinning but neither I nor Lady Walsh had turned the PC on. I once again found it rebooting itself in a continuous loop. Seems it turned itself on from standby and corrupted windows again. I totally wiped the disc, reformatted both partitions and reinstalled windows. Did a full Norton antivirus scan which came up clean. But the same happened again yesterday. Anyone heard of a virus that can start your PC up from standby and reinstall itself ? And that can survive a disc fomat and windows re-installation? I'm running XP Sp2 on an AMD64 with 1 Gb RAM 120 Gb disc.

View 11 Replies View RelatedRecently, when I Backup C: the process completes about a third of the Backup and then Windows crashes with the much-loved Blue Screen. Restart occurs normally and chkdsk reports no problems. An investigation has shown that the problem occurs when the Backup reaches the Folder C:Documents and Settings Local Service Local Settings Temporary Internet Files Content.IE5. When the backup reaches this Folder, the backup continues normally for a few seconds and then Windows crashes. There are 4 sub-folders in ....Content.IE5 and the couple of usual files like index.dat. Looking through the files in the 4 sub-folders these seem to be "bits & pieces" of a web page relating to Belkin. I have a Belkin UPS installed and these "bits & pieces" are related to the Belkin Support Homepage. Nothing looks ominous. A couple of .css files, .gif files and some .txt. I have run AV & Spyware on the Folder and all is reported OK. The disk has a small bad sector on it that was reported and fixed (isolated) by chkdsk a long time ago. I have not experienced any other unusual behavior that would indicate that this bad sector is creating any kind of a problem.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy friend has a VPR Matrix Desktop (2.6 Ghz, 512 megs Ram) with Home Edition that would not power up. I replaced the power supply and it powered up fine. It booted up and worked fine until I started trying to remove spyware. My friend said it would just reboot for no reason. It'd die, reboot, die, reboot constantly. I think this may have burned up the power supply - it probably did this while he wasn't around (maybe during the night).... anyways that doesn't matter.
I was able to get into safe mode and thought I had the issue diagnosed. I wasn't able to work on it for a week or so and when I booted it back up, it worked fine. I backed up all of his important files and then started working on cleaning it up some (it's slow, I don't know if it's the lack of ram or spyware). When I reconnected it to my dsl, it worked fine for a minute, it was a little slow connecting to the net but then I recieved a "Error, run dll as an app" message. It continued to run for a few minutes afterwards then it started crash/rebooting like it had earlier................
This morning I resumed XP to have it lock up on the desktop after a minute or so. It went right to a BSOD and rebooted to fast for me to read it. After post it shows my system configuration page then begins to load the OS. It pops up a Windows 98 boot screen then proceeds to show me the Windows 98 Startup Menu. There are 6 options all fail to a very limited DOS screen.It displays: Warning: Windows has detected a registry/ configuration error. Choose, Command prompt only, and run SCANREG.Then it shows a few missing files required for 98 to load. Funny thing is I haven't had 98 since about 2000 and I know for a fact its not even installed on my HD. Furthermore typing command.com results in bad command or file name. Only basic DOS commands work. CD, MD, RD, Dir, Del, type. All others result in bad command or file name. Checked my boot.ini, comes up fine. NTLDR, NTdetect.com, bootsect.dos are all in the root dir. I have 2 HD, master and slave. Slave drive is not mounted nor are either of my cdroms.I've seen a lot of things go wrong in the last 23 years but this one takes the cake. I would use my xp cd to reload windows but it is currently at my office and I'm at home.
View 6 Replies View Relatedwhy my Windows crashes sometimes when I am surfing the web on either Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox? When I am surfing my screen would just freeze and I cant warm-reset. I originally thought it was just IE7 but Firefox seems to doing the same thing to. It only happens occasionally but then again I just reformatted my machine with some new parts 3 times and updated all my files. So I'm not sure if it will crash every single time I surf the web or just sometimes. I'm not sure what it could be, it cant be a heating problem because
View 8 Replies View RelatedA couple of days ago my laptop (IBM Thinkpad) began to frequently crash and lock up on me. Ctrl Alt Del would not unfreeze anything so i was forced to just turn it off by holding in the power button.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've had problems with my laptop recently and it has been back for warranty repair. To their credit it was only gone 8 days total but despite them running tests on it overnight they didn't experience the problem I'm having. Unfortunately for me when I got it back it is *still* happening. The laptop has 2x RAM slots and in each is a brand new stick of 512mb DDR400 since they suspected it might be a RAM issue. So far it happens at random times and is proving really difficult to pinpoint. Here's what I've tried so far and the troubleshooting I've done.
1. Reseat both RAM chips.
2. Try using both sticks of RAM, on their own, in each slot
3. Unplugged all external hardware (mouse, external HD, WLAN card)
For some reason if I only have 1x stick of RAM in 1 of the 2 available slots and nothing in the other I don't seem to get problems at least until earlier tonight. I've since switched the RAM stick out to see if it happens with the other but it hasn't yet. However, the crashes are so random I can have no problems for hours and then it suddenly crashes, other times it seemed to happen within a few minutes of getting into XP. It's a virtual clean install of XP with only drivers and updates installed.The only BSOD error message I've gotten so far is the following one, any others I see after I'll edit to the message. If you can help me at all I'll be VERY grateful, I don't particularly want to have to send the laptop off again if I can fix it myself. If it's a hardware issue though it'll go back.
When in Windows Explorer (XP Pro) and burrowing through folders I get the following error:
Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Details:
AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName: ntdll.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 000106c3
I can make it happen consistently by going to the eighth level of sub-folders.It just closes Explorer and then everything comes back up (except for Explorer or my email if I was attaching a file).
I have tried everything, including a reparative install of Windows XP Pro. I have run sfc /scannow. I try to do regsvr32 ntdll.dll and I get the following error:
ntdll.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. The file can not be registered.
I have run Ad Aware SE, SpySweeper and Spybot (and even a TDS-3 full system scan). Spyware/virus is not the problem. Caches/temps are cleared, she defrags fine. This is a Dell Latitude 600m 1.6GHz 768MB.
What do you do when windows xp home crashes? I can not boot up, all I get is the revolving screen of choices to either boot normal, boot in safe mode, boot in safe mode with logging etc. Any of the choices just brings me back to the same screen. If I insert my OS recovery CD, it wants to wipe the hard drive and start fresh.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two drives in my system. an 80gb and a 160gb. the second one has the xp home setup on it.
2 days ago, I did soemthing really stupid; I decided to put Vista Premium on an old 40gb. I disconected the 160gb and connected the 40gb. I left the 80gb on and left it alone.
I started to type in the cd key and went to the next screen where you perform and a clean install and I deleted the 80gb disk instead.That's not all-I stopped after I deleted the 80gb information and stopped the install. I reconnected my 160gb and left the 80gb alone. The 40gb was off my system now. I couldnt log onto XP Home. I was crapping my pants. I decided to do a repair but couldnt do it because the xp setup cd was crashing on reboots. Couldnt even get as far as loading the initial setup files.
I opened up my case and reset the jumpers on all drives to the master slave settings and made sure all the cables were intact-made sure they were reseated and working. I checked the BIOS and made sure all was well-it is.
Low and behold, I cant get anywhere-I have my xp cd that crashes right before the setup files are laid out, I cant do a last known good config-it restarts, I cant do a safe mode.
I log into my account, windows loads up and during start up, explorer.exe just crashes, it completly removes itself from the task manager every 20 seconds, desktop icons then dissapear with only the wallpaper/background showing. This is a real problem, I've used Spy Doctor and Kaspersky, it found a few malware and trojans and my system appears to be clean however my explorer.exe continues to crash every 20 seconds, forcing me to launch programs through task manager in order for me to function on the Computer. I've read up this problem throughout google and tried some of the advice thats been given to others with a similar problem as the one im facing with however it still crashes.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have reinstalled Windows XP on this Gateway several times now and it keeps crashing. I have called the PC Virus tech support line provided by Microsoft and they gave me a few different virus removal tools to try. I thought I had fixed the problems and brought the computer back to my friend. A week later it did the same thing. It went to Scan disk and began deleting files. I don't know how to stop this. It may be a virus embedded in the registry keys but am not sure. I really need to remove it from this computer.
