Default XP Slowdown - 811493

Hi,

I have had the same problem on a rig less than a week old. Running a
2.66Pet 4 and it kept locking for upto 10 seconds when doing anything
with saving, DVD or CD.

What a pain in the arse

Thanks for info you lot...

help me loads

Regards

Barry

In addition to the severe slowdown, did anyone else have his or her
DVD playback disabled? Trying to play a DVD would freeze my computer
for 10 seconds, then fine for 5, then frozen for 10, etc. I use WinDVD
4, but the erratic behavior started shortly after I inserted the disc.
WinDVD wouldn't start, along with Windows Media, PowerDVD, etc. When I
thought Microsoft couldn't get any more pathetic...

Thanks a lot to these posts and The Inquirer. I started noticing
slowdowns yesterday. The last one was waiting for the control panel to
open so I could delete the 811493 patch. I had no problems deleting
it and rebooting. Everything seems back to normal.

I Noticed XP getting very slow so I began to
systematically uninstall recent patches. Problem is with
811493.Uninstalling fixes it. Recreate problem by
reinstalling 811493

Thought this might be useful to others

I wasnt having a problem with the slowdown, but I uninstalled
it anyways. I think I might reinstall it after hearing that
one guy had to reinstall his whole system because it wouldnt
reboot.

Wow!! I ran into all of these problems last night!

I installed this 811493 patch Saturday night and when the system asked
to restart the PC, I let it shutdown, but since it was late, I did not
restart it.

Last night, my son was trying to use my computer and it would NOT
start up. Only the BIOS splash screen would come up.

This morning I tried to start the computer and ran into the same
problem. The PC would not respond to anything; "Ctrl-Alt-Del" would
not work and the power button in the front would nor work either.
Finally I pulled the plug and shut it down.

When I restarted the PC, it took over 10 minutes to boot up. During
this time, I noticed that the light in my CD-RW drive stayed on. The
computer acted as if the hard drive was inop. When the PC finally
booted, I got an error message saying that the CD ROM drive was not
accessible. The CD-RW drive light was still on and I could not open
the CD-RW Drive. The drive would not even show up in Windows Explorer.

I then did a normal shut down and turned everything off. Upon
restarting the PC, everything seemed to work again but everything has
slowed down to a crawl!

I am definitely going to uninstall this patch!

Thanks for the information.

Ray

Just a note to let all of you know that there some guys out there who
are fortunate enough to do fine. I run a PII - 350 MHz, 256MB, NVidia
TNT2 graphics with XP Pro and have absolutely no problem whatsoever! I
burned last Sunday a CD using Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum without a
hitch.

Cheers,



Louis

I uninstalled the patch last night. It was like running in water, now
I'm back in the open air.

I hope Microsoft is up front about this, I'll stay away from the
update site untill I'm convinced otherwise.

btw: first time here, nice group.
