unresponsive

Hi there, As a first note (I want to stress this), this problem didn't happen "once", but this is the 8-10th time it happened. I own a pretty decent HP laptop, "elitebook 8530w" with (apart from the HDD, which is 250 GB) the most high end options. First my computer seemingly becomes...

Before i describe my problem id like to say ive spent some time searching past threads and can only come up with variations of sleep problems occuring. My current settings have sleep turned off, monitor on always. So i doubt these apply to me. I have a new computer that was built for me by a...

Hello all; For the past several mornings, when clicking my mouse to wake my PC from sleep mode, my screen remains completely black. I can hear the PC start up, the fan running, etc. I can even hear the Windows log on sound when I punch in my password. All power lights are on, but the monitor...

I just got this new computer a few days ago, and everything was going great until my desktop just all of a sudden became unresponsive. I can't add new icons or click on the icons on the desktop (I can change the background though). This is a problem that I've never encountered before. I would...

I am using W7 media centre and it seems a bit unresponsive! As I'm only using this computer for TV/media I only need networking and obviously media centre to be running. Is there any guide to say what processes etc can be shut down? thanks Mike

Summary: About a month ago I started to notice my computer taking an extra 2-3 minutes to load all of my startup programs. I disabled all startup programs and Windows took just as long to become usable. I did not install any new programs or change any settings (that I can think of) that...

Coming from XP, I've been really enjoying a lot of Windows 7 new features. One of which is the program Sticky Notes. However, I've got a strange problem, whenever the program gets minimized, it will never un-minimize. Each attempt to click on the icon results in an error/alert sound and...

Hi people :p I've had a quick browse of the forum and haven't found any similar threads, but do link me if there are any. Basically since about 4 days ago, Windows Explorer has started crashing every 5 minutes, (Event Viewer shows it happening around 10 times an hour). The taskbar will be...

I've done two clean installs 7x64 ultimate and this will still happen: Using firefox 3.5.6 and whenever I try and download anything whatsoever, I get a pale white screen and firefox is unresponsive and crashes. I've got the uac totally off, and I've tried deleteing the .squire file that ff...

Updated from Windows Vista a few days ago and now basically any internet browser I use crashes. I get a message that Shockwave Player or Adobe Flash or Unknown Plug-in is unresponsive. I reboot and am able to use the internet for about five minutes and then i get that error message again. I...

Hello all, this is my first post, hence apologies for whatever rules I may have violated because of my lack of familiarity. Now, to get to the point: I have been using W7 quite nicely until I realised my Windows Explorer hangs occasionally when I am running Chrome, IE or Safari (I first...

Documents that I saved remained in the Wordpad recent documents for a couple of days, then disappeared, then a search found no trace of the documents. Indexing is on for the whole drive. They are not in any folders that I can find. And a perhaps related problem - the Library had labeled both...

Hi, I installed Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit (not the beta or the RC) on my Shuttle XPC Quad Q6600 with Intel G33/G31 chipset with the Intel driver for the win7 RC (version 8.15.10.1912). There are some issues... Mainly when waking up from sleep (garbled display, incomplete graphics, windows in...

Ok so I was watching some videos, and someone walked in the front door, I tried to quickly close my internet browser firefox before they saw but it wasnt responding for some reason... so I quickly held my power button for 10 seconds to shut the PC down immediately. But when I booted it up, it...

This works on W7 7600 x64 just fine, except that when I try to minimize the window, ie exit fullscreen mode, the screen turns black and Windows is unresponsive. Task manager, Esc or any other keyboard shortcuts have no effect. If I can't play in a window then it's pretty useless to me. I even...
