Ok, you're done!!!

Recently my computer, with Windows 7, has developed a habit of shutting down when I try to get into the program in normal mode. I can use safe mode however, it only has limited capabilities and I need everything. It will not print and will not allow me to add my printer as a choice. Now, please know it was working just fine until a few weeks ago. I ran recovery and it was fine for awhile but I guess it decided...you're done!!! I have ran a full Malwarebytes scan and it showed no viruses or abnormalities so I have to wonder why this is happening or is it a ploy to get me to purchase and install Windows 10. I have also lost my audio and I receive the message my audio(?) spooler isn't working however, it will not tell me how to find and fix whatever an audio(?) spooler is.  Anyone out there have any answers to help me?  All ideas will be appreciated.  No, I am not a computer genius so be kind :) Thank you

Hey guys.I Using Win7 SP1 and I started getting an error today after about 3 minutes of being connected to the internet and this is now a regular thing. The message I get is this: "Windows has encountered a critical problem and will restart automatically in one minute." This only happens when I'm connected to the internet for about 3 minutes.

OS - Windows 7 Profession x64

Client PC attached to a Domain

Printer: HP CM1312nfi

Printer Port:  Networked Printer

Printer Driver obtained from HP website (Full software)

Problem Description:

When printing a large image say 30MB .jpg to the printer, it's queuing up kilo bytes at a time

vs. mega bytes at a time.  So printing takes 15-20 minutes.

Same file on Vista machine takes 1 to 2 minutes to print.

Tried to stop/start the print spooler - no luck

Have latest patches for Win 7

Tried with both user with "User" Privileges and user with "Administrator" privileges.

User Access Control is OFF

Any Ideas?

Thanks.

PS.  Reinstalled the driver twice already.

I am going crazy here and I'd appreciate some help.

I've recently bought acer revo desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. Works great once it boots up and Windows starts, but the boot-up process and the updates thing is a problem.

It starts by "Configuring Windows Updates" but it is STUCK at 0%, for like 15 minutes. And after that, it says "Failure Configuring Windows Updates, Reverting changes" and loads up like nothing happened. (It does not shut down or restart.)

Please help!


Laptop takes forever to load. When I boot it up even after months of no use it still opens up the same apps and tabs on the browser from the last usage.

System Login

Hello

We have run into an odd issue that when a Windows 7 system restarts it will take hours to login.  After removing all third party applications the system still exhibits the same issue.  The user will login however the welcome screen will spin for hours

In addition the majority of the services are not started but as soon as the user logins the services begin to start.

This started several weeks ago on 2 or 3 computers that are Windows 7 64 bit.

Has anyone run into anything like this?

Thank You

Audio not working

Printer will only print the first document then will do nothing.

I am running a dell system with windows 7 pro 64 bit.

I just got an HP LaserJet Pro 400 m401n printer.

I downloaded the most current drivers for windows and updated the printer from the HP website.

The printer will let me print the first document after the computer is restarted. Sometimes I can print a second document if I print it back to back with little to no time between printing the first document. If more than a few minutes passes and I try to print again the program im using to print enters a "not responding" state and goes into recovery mode. This happens with notepad, excel, word, or even printing directly from the internet.

I can open the printer properties and see the document just sitting with "spooling" out beside it. I assumed it was a printer spooling problem and tried going to the Services.msc and checking the printer spooler. Ive started it and stopped it several times. Ive also gone into %WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers and deleted all files in this folder. This does not help. It still gets hung at spooling.

Next I just went to printer property and turned the spooling off completely, by having it send the document directly to the printer. Again the exact same problem but instead of getting hung in "spooling" it now just hangs "printing".

I have also gone to the printer properties on the ports tab to see if disabling the bidirectional support was enabled as per a google search result showing a potential solution. But im connecting the printer directly to the computer via a usb port so that option is not even available.

The only thing that allows me to print again is doing a restart on my computer, then again I can only print the first document sent. Restarting the printer itself does nothing.

The Audio service is not running

Hi,
It seems that problems begin to pile up in this win7 32 bit.
My friend had a problem of severe memory leakage after several hours of running.  solution was quite simple:  RESTART
Now I have another problem: " The Audio service is not running "  and there's a red X on the speaker in the tray.  same solution: RESTART
What the heck??   is there a permanent fix to these problems?  It's quite frustrating to restart over and over again.

I would like to cleanup crapwear. Which version of autoruns from Microsoft works best with Win 7?

I got a version from Bleeping Computer that does not seem compatible with 64 bit processors. 

It wants to use the Windows XP version.  When I tried to uninstall it, there was no uninstall window,

and it did not show in Control Panel. 

why can't i play backg?

File transfer via RDP is slow

$
0
0

Here's the situation:

I'm transfering a file from my remote XP box via RDP, to a Windows 7 box elsewhere. It reaches speed of around 500KB/s.

Why is this a problem?

The sending end (remote XP box) has an upload bandwidth of 20Mb/s, which is pretty much idle. So it should be able to reach speeds in the neighbourhood of 2MB/s - four times as much. The receiving end (Windows 7 box) has a 100Mb/s download bandwidth (just about idle as well), so it should be more than capable of keeping up. The response times (ping times for some folks) between the two is about 9ms (even while copying).

The other way around is just as slow. In this direction, the connection should be capable of 100Mb/s, but it reaches roughly only one-twentieth of that (!).

The total end-to-end line looks like this:

Windows 7 box -- generic NAT router -- fiberoptic -- provider 1 -- provider 2 -- fiberoptic/copper -- generic NAT router -- SSH proxy -- VMware ESXi with XP box in it.

Here's the question:

Why is it so slow, as compared to what the connection should be capable of?

To recap:

Copying a file FROM the remote to my local box: about one-quarter of expected speeds.
Copying a file TO the remote from my local box: about one-twentieth of expected speeds.

Extremely slow file copying / moving / deleting

I've had what I though to be intermittent problems with explorer getting hung up or taking forever while moving files to a different directory, or even deleting files.

However, I have been doing some testing and found that I can copy/move/delete even gigabyte files in no time at all unless they are... Eureka!  Media files!

Videos and music files seem to be the only ones with this kind of problem.  Does not matter the size.

It gets hung on Time Remaining:   Calculating....
                       Items Remaining:  Calculating...
                       Speed...                Calculating...

Or if trying to delete:

It gets hung on Preparing to recycle
                       Discovering items....
                       Time Remaining:   Calculating....
                       Items Remaining:  Calculating...
                       Speed...                Calculating...

Any ideas?

Having a problem with Excessive "modified" memory usage in Win7 x64, upwards of 3.6GB, any suggestions?

Slow Restart After Windows 7 Updates Instgalled

$

I experienced an extremely slow restart (e.g., 8-10 minutes!) on my Dell Vostro 400 desktop PC running Pro Windows 7.

The updates were:

  •    2019-12 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 for x86-based Systems (KB4530734)
  •    2019-12 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7. 4.7.1, 4.7.2, 4.8 for Windows (KB4533095)
  •    Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - December 2019 (KB890830) and
  •    Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Security Essentials -KB2310138 (Version 1.307.224.0)

The system got "stuck" after the downloads were successfully installed and when the system was apparently trying to "Reconfigure Windows" phase.

Now I'm being prompted to install 2019-12 Servicing Stack Update for Windows 7 for x86-based Systems (KB4531786)

I'm concerned that the Windows updates may have harmed the system.

What's the story?  Is my system at risk?
