    Programs not loading, or taking hours


    I have a few issues going on with 7.. mainly right now several programs do not want to open randomly.. Sometimes it's Firefox, sometimes Paintshop Pro, sometimes both, etc.. sometimes they work fine. the error is "there was a problem sending the command to the program" I do NOT have zonealarm installed, and this was not an upgrade OS install. Doing a full reboot will solve the problem sometimes for awhile.

    Another issue is that I have not been able to do a reboot with it hanging after the logoff screen.. I'm not sure if it is related but one or two of my drives keep crashing or losing power (it might be the IDE card though?) that issue is still being investigated.

    Sometimes instead of getting the "there was a problem sending the command to the program" error, the program(s) just do not open. I can see that they were started, but with a low ram usage, and it stays the same like always at 2mb or whatever.. if I open another instance, it will do the same.. to make it work I have to do a restart.. however sometimes if I do not do anything, the program will eventually open.... eventually being about 5 hours later randomly out of the blue.



    Here are a few of the Errors in my System logs

    - The server {06622D85-6856-4460-8DE1-A81921B41C4B} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

    - The driver for device \Device\Scsi\Ultra1 detected a port timeout due to prolonged inactivity. All associated busses were reset in an effort to clear the condition. (I'm guessing this is the issue for the harddrives crashing) - I do as far as I know have the latest drivers, but the card itself I believe is old and I'm not sure of its 7 compatibility

    Wow, (7) hard drives? Do you have enough Power Supply to run them? With the price of drives today it may time for a little consolidation. There's been quite a few issues with the older NForce chipsets so I'm not certain if that plays into your issues.

    I don't have any immediate suggestions to your error messages but will try to find some info...

    Yes I do. The amount of my drives I have has nothing to do with this.. (but the card might) Thanks I will look into that.

But can't able to start any application. Nothing opening when i click the application, but it seems like running in task manager processes. But i can do all in safe mode. Anyone please suggest the solution soon. Its really frustrating..

    You can start a new thread to describe problem in more detail instead of this really old thread. In the mean time, try to do system file check
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    I'm not sure..have you tried? You might get error though...
    Usually sfc scannow has very little effect on system
    Are you having problem loging in normal mode? You can use clean boot to find out:
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    If it doesn't help, I would recommend to run a repair install:
