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?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI used the windows xp home edition disk to reformat my computer. i also installed the chipsets and drivers for the motherboard (hoping its done right) and i had a couple of other cds, one being 'ATI CATALYST driver suite' which i dont really know what to do with and another for a pci modem. They came with the computer but i think you need to know about how the computer works to know what to do with them. Well anyway my programs such as windows media player, outlook express, search.... etc.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen shutting down my computer, I get a box that pops up and says program not responding C:documents/settings (that's the most I can see.. I can't see the whole path name). When I click on the end now, the error goes away and the computer shuts down properly. I looked in the task manager to see if anything was running and I didn't see anything and all programs look to be shut down before I tried to shut the computer down. I have Windows XP and I don't understand why something in C:documents/setting would be doing this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a three month old HP Pavilion a1624 , 250GB HD and 1GB memory, with WinXP Media Center Edition 2005, with ZAPro, NAV 2007 and use Firefox 2.0 (I get the same problem using Firefox and IE6). I connect to the internet through a wireless network to cable modem. When surfing internet sites things go good for a while then it hangs up. When I click a shortcut or type in a url it starts to go then stops. The active browser icon turns back to just a pointer and when I do the ALT-CTRL-DEL, the task manager indicates, in two separate lines entries, that the program is not responding. I select End Task and at that point I can't connect to any site. I reboot and everything goes normal for a while then, boom, the same thing happens. This happens about every hour or so of use. I have tried running an ethernet cable directly from my PC to the router, but still have the problem. Other PCs on the wireless network have no problem.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with my computer. Recently, a friend went on my computer and installed some games. He might have done some other things cause ever since that day, any time I try to shut down windows, a message comes up telling me a program named "Sample" is not responding.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently used CDBurnerXP Pro 3 to write an iso image on the HDD. The progress bar jumped to something like 27% and was apparently frozen.Thinking something was wrong, I tried to terminate the program by ctrl+alt+del and the window opened up with the status message "not responding". But the "end task" refused to terminate the CDBurnerXP...The HDD lamp was glowing. The final observation was that the iso image was successfully written.I have repeated the process and my observation on 2 different computers is the same - the progress window jumps to some %age completed and freezes, CDBurnerXP is writing the image to the HDD, but the status window shows the program "not responding".
View 3 Replies View RelatedSometimes when a program is not responding, I try to close it, but it just can't. I hit ctrl-alt-del and try to close it using the task manager, wait for a long time, and I see it is still there. I can't even re-start the windows because it is stop at the freezed program. I need to hard start the computer in order to get away of it.Sometimes even a program can be killed, some of the icons in the system tray is gone. Is it something wrong with the Windows XP? or is it normal?
View 5 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 1 Replies View RelatedI am running XP SP2 with all current updates installed. Sometime after Windows Update performed an update, I noticed that when I try to run Search (Start, Search), the search app freezes after I type in the file search criteria and click the "search" button". Attempting to close the application results in "this program not responding." and ultimately "You chose to end the nonreponsive program, Windows Explorer." Please Tell Microsoft about this problem. We have created an error report... [Send Error Report] [Don't Send] This is identical to a problem reported on 3/1/2005 but doesn't appear to have a resolution.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi have windows xp and here lately my computer quits responding. Sometimes when I open a program, my computer will start doing it's thing then all of a sudden it quits and I'll hit my task manager and it says that the programs is not responding. Same thing with my cd rom, I'll put in a disc and my computer acts like it's going to start and then I get the same message. That it's not responding. What is it that makes it do that? And what can I do about it? It's starting to get annoying.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been running my XP SP3 machine all merrily along, with three internal HD's (two large partitioned) and yesterday my Start - Restart hung on Windows Is Shutting Down. I did a hard restart, ran Start - Shutdown successfully, after startup tried Start - Restart again and got same hang. So, hard reboot, Start - Shutdown...OK, Startup, Start - Restart worked! Shut down machine for the night, powered on this morning, then Start - Restart... same hang. I remember in W95SE the problem with large drives, but I've never seen that in XP.
So, what did I do new? Installed ProShow Gold software, which required disabling my CD RW drive to find my CD/DVD RW drive correctly. The only other funny thing I see is burning a disk of JPEG's either in NERO or Picasa, then putting the disc back in the CD/DVD drive and not being able to read it. I get "wrong function", the eject button doesn't work, so have to eject from Explorer. Other computers read it fine. When I installed NERO the CD DVD RW drive was made INCD auto-formatable, so that screen pops up whenever a blank is inserted. I just dismiss it. But this symptom looks like XP thinks the disk I burned was written in MRW format, not just ISO. Also, Explorer changes the My Computer icon for the drive from CD/DVD to just CD when the newly burned DVD is inserted - weird.
I don't know what happened, all the sudden while my daughter was in the middle of being on the internet website called evergirl.com (kids games & talk like barbie.com) the computer hung up and got real sluggish. After she was able to close completely out of it I restarted the computer. It came on slowly and gave an error message, as I went to write it down, it blanked off (it said something about unable to open *some* local files and something about a *damaged* registry key. Then it opened to a desktop from like when we first got the computer, most my files are their but the shortcuts are gone off the desktop and mozilla asked if I wanted to import all my data from OE.

Boot-up time seems slow. Connection tests indicate speed is optimal, but IE remains slow and clunky. A HJT scan has been performed. I may correct any issues.
