Re: Windows XP. Computer continually stops responding
Ken
I was asking for information from Disk Defragmenter as it is often an
easy way to get background system information.
Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as
it is more informative.
Check the System log of Event Viewer for Error Reports.
Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in the
System log in Event Viewer for the last boot. No Information Reports or
Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear in a previous boot.
You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.
A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.
Try disabling all Add-0ns in Internet Explorer. Tools, Manage Add-Ons,
Enable or Disable Add-Ons. You can test each in turn by enabling one by
one and observe for effect.
Have you tried checking in Task Manager to see whether any process is
showing unexplained CPU usage?
