Words Application Freezes Up Temporarily
Oct 4, 2006
Lately I have had appplications freeze up temporarily for no apparent reason. This happens in WordPerfect, Word, and in my webmail system w/ Comcst and IE. Everything is un-responsive for as much as a minute with "beeps" when I try to get the window to respond by clicking in it or on the button in the system tray.
I wait it out and it usualy clears. But this is not an automatic backup in the word processing apps (which only takes a heartbeat to do). It's almost as if some thing on the machine is recording what I am doing... Once yesterday, I had to shut it down and re-boot, but that's been rare.
Now, I have lots of anti-spyware and other protective stuff: spybot S&D; Spyware Blaster; Webroot; Processguard; and AVI Antivirus. I've scanned and scanned, but found nothing but a few cookies most of which I get rid of.

I have been having a problem for some time now, concerning my taskbar, which temporarily freezes (around 2min + ) when Windows is loading, and during that time the clock and other icons are not displayed, and the Start menu is unclickable...This happened after I re-created my iconcache.db, and I've got no solution to make it load faster, except if I leave the pc on for around 5min then enter the username and password to login, else if I do so as soon as the welcome screen appears it slows down.

I am testing different XP windows scheduling ideas that are set to run every Wednesday morning at 1.00 am and Saturday morning at 1.00 am. How do I change the system clock to test the schedules which have been created? The system clock has to stay active for six hours, which is the length of time it takes to run all the projects.

Can file sharing be temporarily disabled in windows without affecting any other services. I guess what I am looking for is an "on or off " - switch" without having to disable file sharing the tradional way (rebooting etc). Is there a cmd.com option? Windows service etc. I would just really like to know how to turn it off. lets say for 5 minutes or 10 minutes at a time and easily resume all shared folders and services.

I boot up my PC it gets to a point when a rectangular box with a blue band at the top appears. Inside the blue band there is the words .NET Framework Initialization Error Inside the box there is a red blob with an X in it and the words :WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFramework|v2.0.50727mscorwks.dll could not be loaded There is then an OK button which when I press it the PC loads properly. The machine seems to run OK. I am satisfied that I have no viruses or spyware. I am running XP Home SP2 I do not have a Windows disc as my PC came with Windows installed. I have made recovery disks and reinserted them but this has not made any difference.

Is there a way to remove and/or edit the words: Windows XP Home Edition from the left side of the Classic Start menu? I did it with Windows 98. If I remember correctly, I had to create a new BMP file of certain dimensions, and use Adobe Photoshop to create a layer of vertical text, give the new file the same name as the old one, change the extension for the old file, and put the new one in the same location. Is the method for the Classic Start menu in Windows XP the same.

I'm not exactly sure what is causing this issue so I don't exactly know where to put it. If one of the staff here has a better suggestion and can move it there I would be greatly appreciative. Now on to my problem.I have a computer here that randomly seems to lock up. What I mean by that is, you can be typing an e-mail and the words stop displaying, a few seconds later the screen will flash and your text will start filling in (it isn't suddenly there, you can actually watch it fill in the letters). Nothing moves on the screen at all until the flash.
The machine itself is a fairly robust machine (Dell Precision WorkStation T3400 with E7300, 2.66, 3MB Wolfdale Processor, 2 GB of RAM, and a NVIDIA Quadro NVS290 graphics card

A while ago my pc started randomly freezing when i booted up, usually have to reboot three or four times before it works properly, i guess i must have a virus or something but no scans i run pick up anything obvious. Also when i try to shutdown, the screen freezes on the "Windows is preparing to shut down" screen.

This may seem trivial, but it's bugging me. I have a windows XP and i have the windows classic theme. Every time I put a picture as my wallpaper the color around the words under my icons doesn't blend in with the picture but stays a solid color, so there's like little boxes of blue of white. How do I make those icon words blend in with the picture?

I have been running an AMD 64 bit processor now for some time, but it really never occured to me to look into running a 64 bit operating system. That is, until yesterday.
My friend works for Convergys, a Microsoft call center and sent me a free copy of Windows XP Pro x64. I immediately put this thing on my hard drive and was totally impressed with the speed and stability etc, but then I looked into some of the downsides of running a x64 bit and it made me wonder if it was worth it. (I put my Windows XP Pro x32 back on in the meantime)
First of all, I just want to make sure I understand all of this, before I do commit. And, by the way, I don't want Vista x64!...Anyway, as far as I can understand so far, the x64 will run x32 bit applications, but does that mean every single x32 bit application I ever used will run on it. Will a defrag utility, Winamp, Acoustica CD and Label Maker, things of that sort run?

I cannot get a Hallmark Connections Card Studio program to install on my Win XP Pro computer. I keep receiving and "Application Error" pop-up that says: "CSTUDIO caused a General Protection Fault in module CSTUDIO. EXE at 0006.1176.Choose close. CSTUDIO will close." Then the installation process closes completely. Initially, I thought that it was just too old, as it is a Win 3.1 - 16 bit - program. However, it was successfully installed on another computer connected to my home network, which is also running Win XP Pro. My question, What could be blocking the installation on one computer but not the other?

I have a small program, written in VB2005, with the standard splash screen provided from VB. When I have the program available through a share directory. I can't run it on another computer. Both computer running Windows XP. It comes up with this error: "Application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by security policy. To grant this application the required permission, contact your system administrator, or use the Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration tool.If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

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.

I have an application which lets me use my mouse to move sub-applications (like a color palette) around the screen. I moved one such application off the screen up or down or left or somewhere and now I can't get it back. If I click the box which should make it appear, the box shows the application is there, but the application doesn't show up.Is there a way to retrueve such an application so it appears on the screen again?

The offending program AcroRd32.exe (acrobat reader) hangs the logoff process if the user has a pdf open inside a webpage.Previously, I used a logoff script to "kill.exe" the AcroRd32.exe which would then allow the machine to finish the logoff process. In the recent past, a patch (not sure which one).. has changed the logoff process to start after all the users applications have closed.I was investigating using the "Auto Endtask" registry options to killthe application, but this does not seem to function.
