Not Responding!!

[Clayton]

Over the last 6 months or so I have had to format and reinstall Vista 64
wSP-1 a few times due to programs not responding and I am unable to track
down the problem.
I'm trying to run programs, they do open then pauses for 10 - 15 seconds
when trying to close I get not responding then end process message and
trying to end process nothing happens. I can not do anything even
ctrl/alt/delete.
If I wait awhile things come back to normal until it happens again.
I have removed the AV software and is still the same, run chkdsk, virus &
malware scans all come back as ok.
Reading a few posts out there, people are saying it's a common problem.

cheers

Just random programs, nothing specific

Re: Not Responding!!

Clayton,
Does it happen immediately after a fresh install or does it take a couple of
days to show up?

Re: Not Responding!!

Also what else started happening Carlos was on start-up it wouldn't fully
load my desktop, I did a repair install and was ok after that, until I
restarted again, it did the same so I had to do a last known good
configuration everytime I restarted.
Just when you finally get your system running well, this happens.
Sounds like ghost in the machine.

Re: Not Responding!!

Clayton,
Then there is "something" that gest installed in those couple of weeks that
needs being investigated.
You could also get some leads by checking the event viewer log.

Re: Not Responding!!

ok thanks, if it is software related I'll track it down when it happens
again. hopefully removing the software will fix the problem, fingers
crossed. I did check the event viewer before I reinstalled but nothing stood
out as being a problem
