I just installed Windows 7. All of sudden computer freezes and I cannot close programs. It is like the task manager does not exist. I have to "kill" my computer by pressing the power button for few seconds.

Also I noticed that it especially freezes when, for example, I try to scroll down the Firefox page. Saturday, August 1, PM. So the command worked Sunday, August 2, AM. You're running updaterusa. What is the function of the program called updaterusa. Who provides it, what is it supposed to do? Sorry, not a gamer The updaterusa. I had called it requiem. I posted on the requiem forums and found some people who are haveing the same problem as me and said it could be fixed by modifying the hackshield files, but when i did that the actual game itself became corrupted.

I reinstalled this morning and am patching it right now, ill post back here with how it goes. Provided that the actual process that is crashing, can be identified and monitored with procdump, a crash dump should be able to be generated and subsequently analyzed, to attempt to gather additional details about the problem.

It started suddenly as if it was a virus. Sorry about spelling errors, I cant use spell check because the context menu wont stay on screen long enough! Hi all. Today im fight with windows 7 64bit. Blinking Mozilla top bar in facebook and IE. Self closed Start menu. Im try to make new account - it worked befor you open Mozilla. It is no mallware Windows havent boot log with timestamp and dosnt help to know how many billions of drivers loaded in startup. Im lost one day and go to reinstall windows Still dont know where is problem Sorry for my english - im fro europe 8.

Im change theme to aero and blinking stopped. I am having these same problems on my windows 7. I have a Snow leopard Macbook with bootcamp which let me have Windows 7 on it.

I've tried system restore, I've scanned for viruses and malware with Malawarebytes. I even bought the pro version just to be sure but it still doesn't do anything. I updated all my drivers and still no solution. Creating a new user account is a temporary fix for me, as the new account becomes a problem a few days. Close the installation, open Windows Update, and then check updates for Service Pack 1.

Addressing the point of the message, is the version of Win 7 you are using actually SP1 or not? I am not sure whether you are running Win 7 as a virtual drive within your Macbook OS, or are dual booting on the hardware, or have actually replaced the Apple OS with Win 7? It might help me understand your problem to know which. Looking back through the posts, it is odd that so many different symptoms and solutions exist.

The only common factor seems to be that some driver seems to be the root cause, but one that is local to a particular user. Then that driver is maybe updated for that user, and immediately shows the same symptom again.

If I was really pushed hard for a recommendation, I would say - never accept any drivers from MS updates. I looked at my system properties, and it says that I have Service Pack 1 installed.

But when I try and do a repair install, it says that some messages. I thought maybe it's because I was using my same disc, so I copied the iso and burned another one but the message still came up.

I have too many things to just do a clean install and wipe my hard drive. You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads B. Windows 7 Drivers and software update problem.
