Default Windows freezing causing it to run very slow

Pinon

I cannot really take you further with a HijackThis log. Post the
HijackThis log to the HijackThis
forum he
http://aumha.net/

You will need to register with Aumha to be able to post.

Two entries I did wonder about:

O2 - BHO: FINBHO - {5C472352-90D0-4214-BF20-8E4A2B82F980} - (no file)

O18 - Protocol: fin - {5C472352-90D0-4214-BF20-8E4A2B82F980} -(no
file)

Please let me know which name you use with Aumha as I am interested to
know what they make of the log.

Hope this helps.

Default Windows freezing causing it to run very slow

I had a very similar problem with my new ACER Travelmate 4070 runnning
MS XP Pro.

I started Task Manager and with a lot (like A LOT) of persistence and
patience, eventually identified that my machine was running a process
named QtZgAcer.exe

When I searched on the web, I found a number of forum/discussion board
entries that stated that this file appeared to be causing Acer
machines of all vintages to "hang". This file relates to the Acer
Launch Manager which I think allows configuration of the soft function
keys (also known as programmable function keys).

The workaround on a couple of these forums was to uninstall Acer
Launch Manager.

Since I did that last week, I have not had any problems. I will wait a
few more days/weeks before I can be absolutely sure that the "hanging"
problem has gone away.

BTW - I wrote to Acer tech support at the Acer site and have had
absolutely no response. Not even so much as a "thank you for
contacting Acer support"!!!! Someone at work did recommend that I did
not buy an Acer..... maybe I will live to regret the decision.

You could try uninstalling Acer Launch Manager if you do not use the
soft function keys. At worst, you could re-install the software later
if you want to.

Default Windows freezing causing it to run very slow

I am having the same problem with my PC... but i have found a very strange
process in the Task manager it only says Inactive system process and the
usage of the CPU is at time at 99 I previusly tried to terminate it but the
system dosn´t allow me to do it. When I right click it .... it does not
display the common option any help would be very apreciated thanks.

Ok, it may sound weird, but the best way I can describe my problem with
Windows XP is as following: It freezes and starts to work again many times
per second.

This gives the following symptoms of this kind of "windows-sickness":

* When playing ANY sound on the system, playing sounds like coming from
under water, because it stops and restarts many times per second, causing ANY
sound to take about 4 times as long to play.

*System is also about 4 times as slow, exept when using the hard disk, it is
even much slower.


The problem started after I had to REINSTALL windows because of a totally
different problem. The system worked fine for som days, then one day it
suddenly had gone totally slow. It was really suddenly.

The windows has very few, and only trusted program installed. It should be
healthy, due to newly reinstallment of Windows XP.

To try solve the problem I have done as following:

* I have run really heavy defragmentation of the hard disk, using a special
tool, so as to get windows have easy access to all files.

* Used a program called "Advanced Windows Care 2 Professional" to get rid of
any problem with Registery, startup items, spyware and security. It reports
to have found and fixed all problems.

Still this problem continue.

I have an Acer Aspire Computer, Intel Core Duo T2050 1.6 GHz, 1 GB DDR2 RAM,
120 GB HDD wich has lots of free space.


The CPU usage is almost constant very low, so the problem is not here.

The page file is at 1024 MB. I have tried different sizes, but it does not
affect the performance. Number of processes, 76, none are untrusted.

To put the symptoms this problem has on me: it drives me crazy, sorry.

Hope anyone can help.

Thank you for any help...

Advanced Windows Care 2 Professional could be the problem. These type
of product camn have the opposite affect to what you would like. If it
was supposed to clean up your start-up then having 76 running
processes is a strange outcome. The optimising option and it's messing
with the registry are potentiall likely to cause problems.

Look in the system and application logs for Warning and Error Reports
in Event Viewer for the last boot and post copies here. Disregard
Information Reports.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description

Please tell if this is not the right forum.

I have read that it can help to remove messenger live and msn,
because they are not stable programs, so now i have removed these
program.

But the problems is still unsolved.

Another symptom I didn't mention is that when windows desktop and
its icons are finished loading, the system comletely freezes for
2 - 3 minutes. I can move the cursor thou, but I can't start any
programs. After the freeze, the icons on status bar besides the
clock starts to load, and I can then get programs to start.

Beside this, the problems mentioned in the last posting remains.

Hope someone can help.

Thank you.
