Health analysis Locks up and doesn't complete

I was given an HP desktop, nonworking, to do with as I pleased.  Purchasing the factory disks, it appears to function normally, although I do know there are numerous bad sectors on the hard drive.  Most of these sectors are in the factory image area.
Following the posting suggestions at the top of this window:
Model - AY018AA-ABA    P63110F
Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit
No error messages
Created a new partition from the C:\ drive, but changed nothing regarding the Image Recovery partition
When the health analysis program runs either automatically or manually, it simply hangs on step 2, Downloading updates.
There is no hard drive activity light indicating anything is being downloaded and saved to the hard drive.  Internet connection is good (I'm typing this on a different computer) as I periodically check for and install all the Windows updates.
Thinking it might be the antivirus software, Avast Free Home edition, I've turned off almost all the systems there.  No apparent change as of yet.
In the lower right corner of the Health Analysis window, there appears to be a progress bar in the lower right corner.  If that's what that field is, there is no progress showing regarding downloading any updates.  Mistakenly thinking Help and Support would answer that question, typing in "health analysis" into the search field yielded no suggestions regarding the health analysis system at all.    And there's no Help button on the analysis screen either.
Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Feel free to ask for more info.

    My firefox browser window locks up...I wait way to long and nothing updates, I close the window. Try to open Firefox again, but can't as system detects a copy running. Task manager shows Firefox.exe *32 running. I click on Firefox.exe *32 and click close....wait and nothing closes.

  • Installation stalls and doesn't complete

    I am working on a Windows 7 64bit system. I want to install Creative Cloud.  I have purchased it and the file has downloaded into my download folder.  When I open it it stalls a little over halfway through the process.  I have tried these browsers: Explorer, Chrome and Firefox.  Any ideas what I can try?

  • HP550 halts and doesn't complete the shutdown

    Hi All,
    Having a problem with what I believe is acpi. If I press the power button on my laptop or use the shutdown option in xfce, the screen instantly goes dark but the power button continues to glow. I've added a few flags onto the kernel load line in the grub menu file which didn't seem to solve anything.
    How can I proceed in getting a proper shutdown or where do I look to establish how to do it?
    Thanks

  • IPhone 5 lock-ups and crashes after iOS7 upgrade

    On Wednesday I upgraded to iOS 7. While I like the new look and functionality, I have experienced a couple of OS crashes/lock-ups in a way that I had to force-reboot my iPhone by holding the sleep&home buttons.
    There are two situations where this happens for me: First, when the phone is locked (4-digit passcode), I swipe to unlock, then I try to type the passcode, but the device is completely locked up and doesn't accept any input. It doesn't react on the sleep and home buttons either.
    The second situation is when answering a call: Phone rings, I swipe the green button to answer, then the screen goes black and the device seems completely bricked until force-rebooted.
    Case 1 has happened 4 times so far since wednesday, case 2 happened three times (answering three different phone calls).
    The device is an iPhone 5 64GB I bought in October 2012.
    None of this ever happened to me before the upgrade to iOS 7.
    Doesn anyone have the same issues? Where can I get help on this?

    I have this issue as well and I did a hard reset and restore from icloud and did the same from my computer and neither of them fixed the issue. Of course I would be outside of my warranty period. My phone continues to crash at least 4 to 5 times a day. Please help us!!!

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop elements 10 on my iMac gets hung up at 9% and fails to complete.

    I purchased an Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner which included a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.  whenever I try to install Elements 10 on my iMac, it hangs up at 9% and doesn't complete.  I am using the correct Adobe disk for Mac.  What can I do to get this program installed on my iMac.

    Can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements, I bought recently, on my two different computers; one is PC running Windows 7 and the other is iMac running Mac OS 10.6?
    Yes, PSE is cross-platform, anyway.
    As my Adobe Photo Shop Elements 10 came bundled with the 'Trial version'  of Adobe Premier Elements 10, can I purchase the 'Serial Number' only and how to do it?
    You just buy a normal license as a download, if you so desire. This gives you a serial and a download option, the latter of which you then of course will not need and can simply input the serial in your disc install.

  • [Solved] ehci_hcd unbind doesn't complete

    Hi and thanks in advance for your help.
    I'm most of the way through converting my htpc from ubuntu 10.10 to Arch but cannot get suspend/resume working with my DTV2000ds tuner. The tuner is otherwise working fine and when I remove it from my box suspend and resume works as expected.
    In ubuntu all I had to do was add
    SUSPEND_MODULES="xhci-hcd" to a file in /etc/pm/config.d
    In Arch this by itself isn't working. pm-suspend.log thinks it has entered suspend mode but all I get is a blank screen with a blinking cursor. This is similar behaviour to ubuntu before I added the SUSPEND_MODULES line above.
    I followed a script from these forums that unloads all the ehci_hcd devices one at a time. This unloads my mouse and usb IR-receiver but pm-suspend.log shows that it hangs when it gets to what I think is the built-in IR receiver in the tv-tuner.
    Trying to manually unbind with this command shows the same behaviour, works for my mouse but when I try it on the DTV2000ds it just hangs and doesn't complete.
    sudo sh -c 'echo -n "0000:00:xx.x" > unbind'
    Manually running the above command in ubuntu completes successfully.
    Can anyone suggest what to try next? If you want any specific log files let me know.
    Thanks,
    hubrat

    Marking as solved as I found a workaround. Instead of trying to unload ehci_hcd, I unloaded the module for my tv tuner - In this particular case dvb_usb_af9015. I reload it on resume and everything is working as expected.

  • Iweb publishing to...99% - but doesn't complete the task

    I've had no problems w/ iweb on my site, www.usgreenlist.com
    until now. The problems began after I deleted a very short blog page and added a snippet on another page to direct some one to a TV program in iTunes.
    Now iWeb loads 99% of the way, doesn't do the last update, and doesn't complete the publishing task. and sits...as if it were frozen.
    I've looked at iWeb help, I've published 'all' as instructed, instead of just the updates. I have the most updated iWeb.
    Any suggestions? Thank you.
    Matt

    See this topic...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1442201&tstart=0
    You can also try quitting iWeb, deleting the file Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist,
    restarting your Mac, running Disk Utility to repair permissions and then relaunching and try publishing again.

  • Mobile account doesn't complete initial creation and sync process

    I'm trying to setup a mobile account for a network account but it won't complete the sync process on the client MacBook Pro. Both the server and the MacBook Pro are running 10.5.5.
    When I login to client it prompts me to create a Mobile account and proceeds with the sync to create the account, but when the sync is complete it just logs in with the default account setup. None of the user files or settings (desktop image, preferences, etc) appear. The sync process says "Checking..." for all the files that supposedly get copied to the client, but it looks like it doesn't complete.
    Is there a way of knowing what the problem is? Is there an issue with the user's home directory, some file that prevents the sync and mobile home creation from completing?
    Thanks.

    I solved this myself. The user ended up have a folder on his desktop that contained a backup home folder from an old powerbook that he was trying to save. It was a complete home folder, Documents, Library, etc and I thought it might be interfering with the sync of the normal home folder. So I created a folder called Bad Stuff in the home folder and copied the old powerbook home folder into it. Then opened up the Sync Settings and excluded the Bad Stuff folder from the sync. And it worked, the sync when fine and is resyncing fine.
    Hope that helps with other people with a similar problem.

  • I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them

    I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them or get them out of my trash and they keep multiplying. And to make matters worse, I tried renaming them as pdf files thinking that might do the trick.

    oh boy ! I'd ask you if you knew what kind of files they were or where they came from, but I don't think you could help me a bunch. Try going to the Utilities folder and running Disk Utilities.  If you want to empty the Trash and it won't empty, go to the finder and choose "secure Empty trash". Worse case scenario-you may have to reinstall Snow Leopard, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you have a DVD of Snow Leopard, boot up from that,  and reinstall the OS. This will not touch the stuff you have on your Hard Drive, then you can update from 10.6 to 10.6.8, otherwise Onyx? Maybe those files are part of the OS which needs them to keep running.  if you hold down the Shift key on reboot, you can reboot in Safe mode and maybe you can take the files out of the trash that way
    good luck

  • My iPod is locked for years and the home button is pushed in and doesn't work how do I reset it?

    So my sister locked my iPod for 44 years and the home button is broken and pushed in and doesn't work how am i supposed to reset it now?

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    If you're running iOS 7 with Fid My iPod enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com if your home button isn't working (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0ef36f).
