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
