System information
Hi,
I am trying to troubleshoot why my system hangs after a virus scan. As I was going through the "system information", I noticed in the hardware resources I/O section there were many devices that had more than one mention. For example: the Motherboard Resources device is mentioned 10 times, PCI Bus= 5 times, VIA AC'97 Audio Controller [WDM]= 3, Keyboard= 2, and so on.... I also noticed in the memory section of "system information" there is the System board extension for ACPI Bios listed 10 times and VIA Tech VT8361/VT8601 Graphics Controller listed 7 times. Is this normal for multiple listing of one device and could this be one of the reasons why I am hanging after a virus scan. If these devices are only to be mentioned once in system information, then how do I go about fixing this? When my system hangs after a virus scan, I would be able to open Explorer to various directories but it hangs when I try to close the window. This is also true when opening IE6. I am able to browse various web sites but hangs when trying to close IE6. The hang would last for about two minutes and I am able to resume using the computer until I try to close another window. I'm not sure if the system restore info is useful in this hang situation but it does look strange to me. The device manager reports that all devices are working properly and there are no conflicts. Thanks for any suggestions, |

Oh dear!!
This sort of symptom frequently occurs after mistakenly reinstalling ME over itself in an attempt to 'cure' problems. Try this Boot to Safe Mode Open Device Manager IGNORING the System Devices branch..... Remove ALL instances of any duplicated items - start with the Other Devices (if they exist) - remove ALL such! Display Adapters and Monitors, then Reboot to Normal Mode and back to Safe Mode then the Sound & Multimedia and then Reboot to Normal Mode and back to Safe Mode Then the IDE Master Controllers - reboot to Normal Mode and back to Safe Mode When back in Safe Mode again - list the remaining duplications and attach them to your response (include ones in the System Devices branch) HTH - and Good Luck -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Faldo" wrote in message ...

Thanks Noel,
The only device that were duplicates in safe mode was the "Generic NEC floppy disk" which I deleted. Attached are the devices which are in the system branch. "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

Was that a Safe Mode screen dump? there are no duplicates there apart from
the expected ones for ACPI IRQ Holder... Ahhh - I misread your original post! Yes - the duplications you see in that section are perfectly normal - they refer to areas of RAM that are allocated to the devices, and some devices require particular areas in particular places for particular purposes (my motherboard resources, for instance, in my ME Virtual PC, has 18 entries there!)

Are you running Norton??
No, Not Norton. Yes - the duplications you see in that section are perfectly normal - they refer to areas of RAM that are allocated to the devices, and some devices. That explains the many numbered addresses associated to each device. if there's anything there other than ACPI IRQ Holder (error 22) entries, then you may have a problem. No conflicts other than (error22). Why do you think my system hangs? I've tried installing an updated driver for the VIA Tech VT8361/VT8601 Graphic Controller at viarena.com, but they mention that drivers must be compatible with the north/south bridges. I'm really not sure what they're talking about. I saw a mention of via 4 in 1 driver but now I'm not sure if it's compatible with my display adapter.

System information
I found driver info for my ms-6368 motherboard at
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/suppor...?UID=21&kind=1 , and there are two drivers at the bottom of the page. One is the VIA® KLE133/PLE133 VGA Drivers, and the other is VIA Chipset 4in1 Drivers. Which one should I install? "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... What's your motherboard? - the VT8361/VT8601 is mostly used in onboard graphics, if I read it right. You may find it better to go to the motherboard manufacturer's site and download the latest drivers from there.

System information
The VIA one -
There's a utility called Live Update available for most boards - including yours - which makes this sort of decision easy. - get it from here http://www.msi.com.tw/program/suppor...ist.php?kind=1 it works pretty well on the systems I install it on. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Faldo" wrote in message ...
