My brand new Dell laptop keeps losing its active window focus. I have tried to pinpoint the problem to a service or startup and did not find anything specific.
I am now checking the System logs and I see things like :
- The Windows Modules Installer Service changes every couple of seconds its start mode from demand to auto and from auto to demand. There are almost 20 changes from one state to the other in 2 minutes.
- The Computer browser service starts/stops several times in a few minutes.
Is this normal ? How do I troubleshoot this ?
- The Multimedia Class Scheduler service starts/stops every 3 or 4 minutes.
Following with my previous post, here is from my log just a couple of minutes ago
Code:Information 24-Jul-11 06:42:02 AM Service Control Manager 7036 None Information 24-Jul-11 06:37:01 AM Service Control Manager 7036 None Information 24-Jul-11 06:32:51 AM Service Control Manager 7036 None Information 24-Jul-11 06:27:50 AM Service Control Manager 7036 None Information 24-Jul-11 06:24:28 AM Service Control Manager 7036 None Information 24-Jul-11 06:19:26 AM Service Control Manager 7036 None Information 24-Jul-11 06:15:08 AM Service Control Manager 7036 None Information 24-Jul-11 06:10:06 AM Service Control Manager 7036 None Information 24-Jul-11 06:09:57 AM Service Control Manager 7036 None Each one of this is the Multimedia Class Scheduler service that enters the stopped state and the following is the same service entering the running state.
