All Applications "Not Responding"

bob363 · 09 Feb 2014

Hello,

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64. Recently every time I try to run an application, Firefox, Word etc, it opens and then freezes and I get the "not responding" up on the title bar. Eventually Firefox will start to work but it freezes off and on during use. Other apps like Word just freeze and will not work at all. I know this could probably be any number of things but I thought I would see if anyone else has had this trouble. Thanks for any help.

As you already mentioned, this behavior can be caused by a great many things. The two tutorials above will test and perhaps through testing, fix some of the easy things.

If you require more help after running the above tutorials, members will need to know more about your machine.

Please add your SF Systems Specs: SystemInfo See Your System Specs

In the System Manufacturer/Model Number field, manually type Desktop or Laptop adding it to the information already in the field.
Specify Custom Build as the manufacturer if it is not an OEM machine.
The tool does not fill in this information but it is very important if someone has to research drivers or hardware for your machine.

Log on to Sevenforums (SF) and let the tool fill in you System specs on your SF profile.
Your System Specs here.

It's a simple process and it makes that information readily available on your posts. You don't have to retype the information in any thread.
