Did the cpmplete disk check and made sure I have full control (your item 2)
and I stll have the same problem occurring "Drew Tognola" wrote: RENEE, A couple things, 1) Have you tried clicking 'Computer right-click on (C, select Properties', click the 'Tools' tab Click 'Check Now' Check only the option 'Automatically fix file system errors', click 'Start'. It will open a window asking if you want to check for errors the next time you start your computer, click 'Schedule disk check' and restart the computer. See if this helps. 2) Click 'Computer right-click on (C, select Properties', click the 'Security' tab. Under the heading 'Group or user names', click each item, Authenticated Users, System, Administrators (your name/Administrators). Does each item have 'Full Control' Allowed? "RENEE" wrote in message ... After all that - still have the same problem "RENEE" wrote: Sorry I'm an idiot...scrolled down and found where to actually turn off. Will try that "Drew Tognola" wrote: RENEE, By any chance are you running an Antivirus app alongside of Windows Defender? If so, disable Windows Defender from the Control Panel (bottom of the settings page),. Also disable Windows Defender from 'Services' & msconfig's Startup tab (click 'Start Run, type msconfig OK). Restart your PC. Click the below link and read the posts concerning your issue. Many different Antivirus apps running with Windows Defender seems to be the culprit. www.vistaforums.com/Forum/Topic13079-9-1.aspx Drew "RENEE" wrote in message ... IE7, Word, email not responding.

I'm having the same problem as RENEE has had. My system works fine when I'm using it but when I lock the display and return to it in a few hours the computer does not respond to ctrl-alt-delete command for task manager etc. I have to do a hard reset (running a xps420) any thoughts anyone? -- jld1173 |
