Laptop Freezes upon returning from standby when NI-VISA is installed

My Windows XP SP3 laptop was working fine with Labview 2010 installed. Upon installing NI-VISA 5.0.0 or 5.1.1, the computer generally works fine, but upon returning from Standby, the computer freezes. (After a few seconds, the screen freezes, and the computer is unresponsive unless I force it to turn off.)
Uninstalling Labview entirely fixes the problem, and reinstalling just Labview does not make it return, but after reinstalling the NI-VISA, the error returns.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Greg

Thank you for your reply,
Lets do a couple of steps now:
1) Are you on a desktop or laptop?
2) Can you disconnect all USB devices on your computer and re-create the issue?
3) If the issue persists, can you post the log of your computer's Event Viewer (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427) when the computer seems to freeze?
Thanks!

Windows 7 Laptop Freezes Upon Waking Up To Login Screen

Hello,
I just started a new job and have a laptop that was supplied to me by the company. Before I go to IT I want to see if I can fix this issue myself. Sometimes (maybe 10 or 15% of the time) when I open my laptop or wake it up from sleep mode, when
I go to the login screen it will freeze. This usually happens a few seconds after the screen appears, and will freeze whether or not I've hit CTRL+ALT+DEL or began to enter my login creds. My keyboard (integrated) and mouse (USB) both freeze and are
unresponsive, so I must manually restart the computer.
I asked the question on the Windows 7 community and since my PC is domain joined I was directed here. See the thread here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-laptop-freezes-upon-waking-up-to-login/715bcb8a-ee9b-43f8-a34a-fd105602e2cf
Would love some help on this issue if anyone has any insight.
Thanks!

SP A60: Upon resume from standby, why devices don't work?

Hi there,
A question about my Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 (P2.8GHz, 40GB, Win XP Pro, as factory-delivered and extended with Belkin 54G PC-card wireless network adapter).
When the laptop wakes up from standby, several devices don't work anymore, e.g. the wireless network-card. I haven't found anything to (un)check for Wakeup-On-Lan, resume, power management or anything similar.
After a full reboot, all works fine again.
What could I do to let all devices work the same after waking up from stand-by?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards,
Herman Zandt

Hi Horwath
Indeed not easy to explain. It doesn't make any difference if I use an AC power supply or battery, the same problem happens with both power sources.
I re-checked the whole issue: upon pressing the on-switch on the SP A60 whilst it is blinking yellow (ie. A60 is in standby mode), it reboots perfectly without any errors. All devices work, ie. connectivity wireless card with base station ("excellent"), USB-ports, modem is recognised, touchpad works, DVD/CD-RW reads and soundcard works. (In fact, subject of this email is not correct anymore...)
To be precise, what is NOT working is the data transfer, neither in my internal zone (LAN), nor outside (the Internet).
Summarised: upon resuming from standby, the SP-A60 operates as being purely local without recognising anything outside the machine, despite the wireless network card being properly installed and excellent connectivity with the base station shown.
As said, after full reboot all works fine again. No settings or checks have been found related to this. I'm running the latest BIOS.
Any ideas? A hardware- or software-related issue?
Thanks a zillion,
Herman

SoundMax audio driver did not load after returning from StandBy.

After my computer returns from StandBy, it shows me this message. "The SoundMax audio driver did not load. You may need to reinstall SoundMAX". I have downloaded and installed the latest driver that was supposed to fix this issue on Windows XP T61. Is there another solution?

Hi,
I wanted to confirm, that this issue occurs also to me, and started happening recently. Also the driver sometimes does not start when simply booting clean (not returning from StandBy). I'm not sure, but I think this started happening after some driver update (I do upgrade my drivers when lenovo updates them hoping they'll fix some of the annoying glitches, but this is what I usually get...).
My machine is: lenovo t61 7664-19G
And I also have: windows XP
If someone more tech-able would like to investigate this, I would be happy to supply all the details.

Annoying 40105 errors upon return from called form

I have 2 forms, A and B. A (the primary form) calls B via CALL_FORM. Sometimes, upon return from B, I get a whole slew of 40105 errors (cannot resolve reference to item), referring to fields in form B - fields that ARE valid in form B, but obviously not in A. Mind you, I am getting these errors when the primary form (A) is displayed. I have double checked that no reference exists in the primary form for these fields.
I have put both ON-ERROR and ON-MESSAGE triggers at the form level of A to intercept 40105 yet they still get through.
Any thoughts??
Thanks.

Mouse stutter and UI unresponsiveness after returning from standby

Hi guys, after upgrading to Leopard the mouse pointer on my 15" MBP stutters after returning from standby. Weird thing is that this happens only after it was in standby for awhile, maybe 5 to 10 minutes. If I return from standby after a few seconds the stutter does not happen. I can only resolve this with a restart. This did not happen in Tiger. Is there anyone else experiencing this?

Well I had this problem. Did a fresh install of Leopard a week and a bit ago and it seemed to run much better. Set my machine up how I like it and it's back to how it was. I didn't setup my Dashboard right away so maybe your onto something. I'll have to try and force myself to not use it for a bit and see how it goes.
We should collect a list of 3rd party widgets as I think initially with the default 4 on display it was fine.
I've only got 4 other than the standard Apple supplied ones.
- iStat Pro 4.2
- TV Forecast 2.3
- Amazon Album Art 2.12
- Application Update 1.5.8
Now both iStat Pro and TV Forecast claim to be Leopard compatible. Amazon Album Art also mentions improved Leopard support was added in version 2.11. Application Update doesn't claim to be but seems to work fine. However I think this was the last widget I added and a few days after the others. I think it was fine with the other three so I might try removing it and seeing what happens.
Still I'd love to know what other Widgets you guys have. Maybe we all have the a similar one which we can narrow down to being the cause. Or maybe it's not 3rd party widgets at all but the Dashboard as a whole. Still I'm more likely to think it's a 3rd party widget.

QC upon Return from customer

Hello everyone,
I had an issue regarding performing quality check upon returing delivery. Let me explain the situation.
My sales happen from Plant 2 (it is not the manufacturing plant or the plant wher QC happens) Manufacturing and QC happens in Plant 1. Upon return from customer, The return material arrives at Plant2. No QC takes place here. The returned material is transported back to Plant 1 where QC takes place and finally UD takes place
Am finding it hard to map this scenario. Coz, if i have the corresponding inspection type(06:Inspection for returns from customer) in plant 2 then inspection lot is generated in plant2. Whereas no inspection takes place here but in plant1.
So please suggest a solution to this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Aji

Hello There,
Thank you for your replies but still the issue cant be resolved as such. I cannot have Delivery at Plant1 because actually delivery is happening at plant 2(Distribution Plant) and accordingly return delivery is also occuring here. So this solution is not feasible.
Sujith I agree, you can create a manual inspection lot upon return. But since QC is not performed where Return delivery is actually taking place, there is no point raising an inspection lot at that plant. Moreover upon return, the quantity goes to "Return" Stock. This has then to be trasferred to the manufacturing plant/QC plant. So what i do is, to transfer the material to return stock of the QC plant. Here, how can i raise a inspection lot for qty which has been stock transferred ( to "Return stocK") in the QC plant?
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Aji

Power manager crashes after returning from standby mode.

I have a T400 2767 WU6 running Windows 7 Pro-64bit.. After returning from standby mode, power manager crashes (version 3). All the software installed is supposed to be compatible with win7 pro 64bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does this issue appear from the beginning?
Possibly the OS was installed several time ago and now the registry entries are corrupt.
Therefore the system busy egg timer could appear.
Im not 100% sure it will help but possibly you should reinstall the whole OS
On the fresh installed OS all should works much faster

My Airport Extreme basestation used to work but upon returning from holdidays it no longer allows me to connect wirelessly through it to the internet on my iPhone, iPads, ipod touches and my apple tv2 cannot access the network either. Wired still works

When I returned from holidays I could not access the internet wirelessly through my Airport Extreme (5th gen) from my iPhone, iPod touches, ipads and my AppleTV 2 no longer can access the internet or the network either. I can get access to the internet on my iMac when wired directly into an ethernet port on the Airport Extreme. I have tried resetting my AirPort and created new networks but still doesn't want to co-operate. If I get wireless internet it is very, very slow and incosistent.
Any suggestions?
Rick

I see now that long questions are not going to be read and answered. Understandable. Since writing this I got help on one aspect of question and now have Airport Extreme visible through Airport Utility and it seems to work. However the wireless printer still does print. On the printer's screen, it recognizes my wireless network and connects. When I try to print from the MacBook, the usual printer icon comes up, but with Printer is Offline. Printer is Not Connected. So far, nothing in Apple or Brother help has given me answer to this problem. Any ideas would be appreciated.

MacPro Freezes upon waking from sleep

I have had my macpro for almost a year and have never had this problem. I have not connected any new peripherals to it or done anything new that I can think of. I have tried sleep and wake with them all disconnected, but still no luck.
Upon waking the computer comes back to life, however, the cursor does not move, and key commands also will not work. Only way to get it back to life is a hard restart. This began only a week ago, and was prior to the newest EFI Firmware update.
Is power consumption related to this possibly? Not enough juice to get her back online? or do I need to get her some coffee?

If it has too much equipment on the same circuit it can be a problem.
The freeze alone is enough to result in a corrupt directory.
Freezes on wake from sleep can be as simple as a bad USB cable.

Laptop freezing upon startup

Last night, I was playing an online game, when my entire computer locked up for about 5 minutes. After this, a blue screen popped up, however instead of doing the normal "Physical Memory Dump" most Blue Screens do, it merely told me something had stopped working, then my computer restarted, but nothing would load besides my cursor and a solid black screen.
I gave this until today to try to work on it, and it would load my desktop background and programs, but it would freeze after about a minute or if I tried to click on anything. I can only run my computer in safe-mode (which is where it is now). I have tried virus scans (norton stops working mid-scan), registry repairs, defrag, and other various methods but I have yet to fix this issue upon startup in normal mode. Does anyone have anything else I can try, or have had a similar experience? Any input is greatly appreciated

Hey Zyzx,
I have seen this type of condition before in a USB connected printer. How do you have the printer connected to the Windows XP Home Edition desktop PC? (USB or Network connected)
If the printer is connected by a USB cable, then you may try a different USB port on the PC and uninstalling/re-installing the USB Controller on the PC.
To perform the uninstall/re-install of the USB controll follow the steps listed below.
Boot into Safe Mode on the PC
Click on the Start menu of the PC
Right Click on My Computer
Select Manage out of the list
Select Device Manager in the list on the left
Right click on the section titled "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and select Properties
Uninstall the section and restart the PC to perform the re-install
I will look into this issue more for you and get back with you.

Freezing upon waking from sleep mode

I'm having a freeze issue with my imac. When I go to wake it up from sleep mode it wakes up, but then immediately freezes. Sometimes the dock items will still magnify, sometimes not. Sometimes the whole system will eventually wake up and open whatever program I was trying to open, but it takes upwards of half an hour. I used the techtool disc and it showed no hardware issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please try resetting the PRAM

MacBook Air freezing upon wake from sleep

Hello there! Ever since installing Mavericks, my MacBook Air freezes nearly every time I wake it from sleep. Whever I open the lid, it allows me to enter my password, and then it freezes. Other times, it will let me log in, and then whenever I try to use Safari or another application it freezes. It doesn't completely freeze, I get the beachball and everything. What is going on?

Hello there AustinJGibson,
It sounds like you are having performance issues with Mavericks.
It sounds like you are seeing some performance issues after having installed Mac OS X 10.9.
I want to recommend the troubleshooting information from this article named:
OS X Mavericks: If your Mac runs slowly
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13895
If you find your Mac is running slowly, there are a number of potential causes that you can check.
An app you’re using may require more memory than your computer has. To see how much memory your computer has, choose Apple menu > About This Mac. See the documentation that came with the app to find out what it requires. To find out how to increase your computer’s memory, see the documentation that came with it.Find the manual for your Mac
Quit any application that isn’t compatible with your computer. For example, an application may require a different processor or graphics card. See the documentation that came with the application to find out what it requires.
To see what processor your computer has, choose Apple menu > About This Mac.
To see what graphics card your computer has, choose Apple menu > About This Mac, click More Info, and then click Displays.
Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk.Increase disk space
Quit any apps you’re not using.
If none of these suggestions work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility.Repair a disk

Laptop freezes 1 in 10 times when going to suspend.

I am not even sure which logs to post. As far as I can tell, every now and then my new laptop doesn't go into suspend properly, the screen stays on and the conky clock tells me the time at which that happened. Then when I open the lid again it is just a frozen computer at the exact point it was trying to suspend. Obviously I don't notice it happening as the screen literally switches off when the lid is closed. Can anyone advise me where to look to find the solution here.
I am sure the first step is to post logs and info but I am not quite sure what is important here and a quick view of the journal doesn't find anything.
Thanks.

I have put the log covering closing the laptop lid last night and opening it this morning on pastebin.
This is a new laptop, a month old, and as far as I can work out it has been doing this every now and then since I got it fully working.
Thanks
edit: no I haven't tried a different kernel, but I am beginning to suspect it is a graphics thing, I have one of those Primus NVidia cards as well as the Intel one.
