Go to SkyDrive.com which is microsoft's cloud offering which is far superior to your pogo thing and is continually being expanded and developed. SkyDrive is the cloud solution that I use and I'm very satisfied. The earlier versions were primitive. Current version is quite good.

Karl,

I'm in the process of doing the things that you have suggested here. However I do not want to uninstall gSyncit. This is a program that I use to keep my Outlook in sync with my Google calendar and contacts for my Android devices. It will be a complete pain in my butt to live without that program. However, if you know it is known to cause problems, then I can uninstall it and go back to the company to try to get things resolved. (I paid for the application.)

On tue uTorrent side, I don't download programs with it I just use it for getting the latest stuff for my MAME (Arcade emulator) setup that runs on a different PC. But it's not critical and I'll uninstall it for the sake of trying to resolve this. (Just wanted you to know that I am not performing extremely "unsafe computing" with uTorrent by trying to download warez or cracks or etc.)

SailingNut,
go ahead and leave your gSyncIt for the time-being. There are free programs to accomplish the same, but I'll research further.

Since I was never a fan of Outllook's calender program, I've used google's calender exclusively.

I don't care how safe the originating site is, peer-to-peer is not a secure way to go. After your system is in order, reinstall anything. I just need a safe, sound, and secure system while we are running down your problem.

OK all done with that stuff.

FYI I have not experienced the problem since I uninstalled McAfee. Not sure that is the solution though, sometimes it would be stable for days and other times it would crash multiple times a day.

Holding my breath that it stays that way!

Thinking a several week "soak test" is in order before calling it fixed. If that passes I will one by one add back things I want to have back.

The thing that pisses me off is that I have a subscription for McAfee! Had it for free through an offer for a over a year and it worked well enough so I bought in. My bad!

OK, SInce I last posted I had a failure in my RAID array so I have done a clean install of Win7 on an SSD.

The shut down problem has returned, however I have not been present to see if the exception dialog shows before the shutdown. However, I expect that it did because upon restarting Windows it did not say that it was not shut down properly.

Currently I have only the base OS, MS Office, MS Security Essentials, PC Meter, and Daemon Tools installed. I am uninstalling Daemon Tools to see if that is the problem. This brings up a question, does anyone know of a good (stable) program to mount ISO images as if they were burned to a disc? I want to be able to avoid having to burn discs to install things that I have in an ISO image.

Get rid of PC Meter, Daemon tools.

You do not need these and Daemon has been known to cause problems.

I had already ditched Daemon tools bafore posting. I have since ditched PC Meter.

Forgot that I had reinstalled gSyncit, hanging on to it for now.

Bad news, it did it again. THe behavior "MAY" be different. I did not see the exception dialog this time, but I was looking at my 2nd monitor at the time. However the rest of it was the same. Screens go blank, look and there is HDD activity then the power goes out. Power back on and no prompt that Windows did not shut down properly. Just a guess but the fact that I am on an SSD now may mean that there is a much smaller time window that the dialog displays.


The files created by the scripts are attached.


Thanks again and again and again!

Sailing Nut,
Don't know why I took so long to notice this.

You are looking at needing to apply about 100 updates.

Cut no corners on me. I've a script that will indicate what is installed/not installed.

UPDATING YOUR WIN 7
1. ASSURE THAT YOU RECEIVE ALL UPDATES
WIN | type WINDOWS UPDATE | ENTER |
Change settings (left-hand column) |
checkmark all four of the boxes | OK
button

Approve any dialog boxes presented. Let Windows install any update features.

WIN is the key with the Microsoft flag on top.

2. INSTALL CRITICAL UPDATES
Check for Updates
(left-hand column)
Install ALL critical updates.
Restart your computer (even if not prompted)

Repeat this procedure until there are no more critical updates.

DO NOT TRUST the “Windows is up to date” in center of dialog. until you see that TWICE IN A ROW!

3. INSTALL IMPORTANT UPDATES
Use the “critical update” procedure until all important updates are installed.

4. INSTALL OPTIONAL UPDATES
Under Optional updates you will be presented with:
a) Microsoft Bing Desktop which is of questionable value
b) a list of about 34 language updates.

You can hide those updates so that aren't continually notified of those updates.
When you click on 34+ optional updates are available, then you
a) highlight all of the language updates,
b) right-click anywhere in the highlighted list.
c) click on Hide Updates,
d) OK button.
Install ALL other Optional Updates.
Use the “critical update” procedure.

UPDATE GOLDEN RULES

Install ALL, yes, ALL updates.
This is Win 7 and not Vista or XP (eXPired).

UPDATE IS HUNG –TAKING FOREVER
Hung is very doubtful unless you interrupted updates.

CTRL + SHIFT + ESC key combo will pop-up the Task Manager.
Lo and behold, Windows Update is still running!

You hold down the CTRL and SHIFT keys.
While holding them down, tap the ESC key once.

Forgot to mention that the last time this happened, I was in the middle of applying updates.

I'll get them all applied and hopefully this will all go away!

I'm starting to think it may be a fualty piece of hardware that is at the root, but we need to get all of the resto f this squared away first. :geek:

OK, my theroy may be blown out of the water.

I just had it happen again while applying updates. So, now it's time to apply them one by one and see which one is the casue. Or if maybe it's trying to do them all at once, but I doubt that since they are done sequentially.

EDIT: It appears that the updates did apply because I had only one optional update that I chose not to apply (Bing desktop) when I went back into Windows Update. However when I did a check for updates I now have 15 important and 5 optional. I suspect this is because they depend on having previous updates already installed.

Very possible

Just work thru that write-up I gave.

You will notice that the write-up also speaks of not installing Bing desktop.

Karl,

At first I didn't do well with the whole RTFM thing. I kind of just jumped in and went back when things failed.

Well the interesting thing is that it seemed to me that the cause (possibly indirectly) was that I was trying to install critical updates along with optional ones. Granted it had moved on to other updates, but once I stopped doing that it stopped shutting down when doing updates.
