"" "" Not Responding
You know when you go to shut down Windows and sometimes a dialogue box pops up and says, This program is not responding or is waiting for a response from you..." and then at the bottom, you can choose to "End Task" "Wait" or "Cancel". Well, the program in which this dialogue box refers to is written in the bar at the top of the window. However, I have encountered times when there is no program written there...it's blank! So, I have no idea what program is not responding and my computer freezes up until I get the blue screen that says, "The system is busy or has become unstabe..." and then I have to Ctrl Alt Del to restart Windows.
Does anyone know what program this dialogue box refers to? Thanks in advance. -- I'm stuck inside this thing! |

"" "" Not Responding
Here's the funny thing...it only seems to do this when I come here to this site. I'm wondering whether it has something to do with Java? Whwn I close my Internet Explorer, it stays running in the back ground, and when I "End Task" then this dialogue box comes up that does not say what program is not responding. It's wierd...but only when I come here (that I've noticed so far).

Java! I don't know! Is it mentioned anywhere?
Well, I do not access this NG through the CDO interface as you do. I am here through Outlook Express. One thing: When I am ready to shut down, I shut OE first-- or crash--, & it could take a full 15 seconds to shut OE. Shut IE, & wait for it's button to disappear from the Taskbar, before you try to shut down. Don't hit Ctrl-Alt-Del before it's gone, because everything is suspended while that box is open. Once it's gone from the Taskbar, does it still show at Ctrl-Alt-Del? What is the wording in there? For instance, opened to... http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm ....I see "Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File". But that one disappears quickly, when IE is closed. Perhaps... "START, Run, MSInfo32, Tools menu, IE Repair Tool" It produces a rather large "Fix IE Log.txt" in C:\Windows. IE & E are basically one & the same. If this crashes, an over-install of IE is indicated. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Paradoxdb3" wrote in message ... | Here's the funny thing...it only seems to do this when I come here to this site.
