At times my Win7 Ultimate 64 bit version will freeze when I right click the desktop or when closing a browser.
I don't even get the "Exlorer.exe has quit responding" error, it just freezes and does nothing. I performed 3 clean installs and had the same problem every time. I'm running fewer programs than I had installed with the RC and I never had this problem with the RC.
So suddenly my hardware is no longer compatible when it was for RC?
Ah, I missed that.
Well, then perhaps not. Have you used the same disk each time to install?
Open command prompt (run as admin) and type this:
~LordbobCode:sfc /scannow
"Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."
Sorry, would post screenshot but I'm running in safe mode (I have no freezes when I use safe mode).
I have heard of this problem by many people using 64 bit version. I thought I might try the 32 bit version, but alas I cannot even log in to the Microsoft Store, since apprantly the temporary password they sent me in my e-mail is not valid.
Using x64 for Windows 7, but x86 for IE I think (whatever the default taskbar shortcut is).
Hmmm, after reading threads with similar problems, I decided to try uninstalling Kaspersky. So far I haven't had a freeze yet, and before I would get them within 5 minutes of using Windows. I'll update later to inform you of whether or not I continue having problems. (Don't worry, I'm disabling internet while I am without protection)
