M500 120 GB mSATA hanging/crashing Windows 8.1 Ent after 1 year of use

Hi, I purchased a M500 120GB mSATA disk June '14 from Amazon, and installed it in my Sony Vaio T-Series laptop.
I have been using it ever since and it has been fine and speedy.
Since last week, I noticed my laptop started hanging applications and then crashing without reason.
At first I thought about some Windows update, since I did not install any application recently. I formatted and reinstalled Windows 8.1 ENT and then Windows 7 Professional and in all cases, I noticed that it would install fine, but after sometime, during normal operations, some random application ie Word, Excel, Google Chrome, IE, would hang by itself, and would not come back. The mouse pointer is showing the busy (spinning wheel) sign as well. Eventually, after much waiting, I would have to manually reset the laptop and then it would be fine again, until this starts again. Eventually I installed Windows 8.1 Ent on my HDD and everything went away. Yesterday, after doing some reading, I installed and ran CrystalDiskInfo and it says that my disk is 98% good. I dont understand the other parameters returned by the SMART function. I am attaching a screenshot here and hoping someone can diagnose it for me.

Hi bym007,
Looking at SMART values I would say the drive is completely healthy. After clean OS install did you install any chipset and storage drivers? What is the exact model of your Vaio?

Numerous crashes just started yesterday after years of use w/o problems & I followed every direction in articles on how to diagnose crashes, upgraded to 3.6, (cont.)

malware/spyware removal, searched for backdoor.urlbot.c, etc. now today a pop-up firefox.exe - system error says "the maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded. the length & number of secrets is limited to satisfy the US dept export restrictions. Really? Just curious that this pop up window isn't a spoof. Since this spate of crashing just started could I be infected despite TrendMicro security, Malwarebytes & SuperAntiSpyware being used?

I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account? I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.

Window will close automatically with specfiy time using jsp

hai
have a peace day.
i want to close the window or page automatically after 8 hours using jsp or java code
please reply
thank u

One thing to consider is that you cannot enforce the use of JavaScript. You certainly can enforce the use of JSP. So if for example you are seeking to close the window as a security measure than the only way to do this is to timeout the user session in JSP as described in my first post.
The first post asked if you can do this from Java and the answer remains it is impossible. Further it remains impossible for you to force this action upon the user using JavaScript which is a very important consideration.

Creative Cloud Desktop install crashes Windows Explorer and hangs

This all started with my inability to activate Adobe Acrobat on my computer after wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS.
I had no trouble initially downloading or installing anything from the Adobe Creative Cloud. I ran several apps and they worked (albeit in trial mode for a day or two)
And then the Initial Problem: Trying to Activate Adobe Acrobat failed to get pass the sign-in screen.
It would hang for about 30 minutes and then come back to the error that the computer's clock must be incorrect or an error with the Internet connection. (It's a standard error documented on Adobe's site that says you need to make sure your computer can really get to all of Adobe's activation servers/sites/etc. I double-checked everything in the troubleshooting list to be sure but found nothing wrong with the computer or the ability to get to Adobe's sites.
Exasperated. I went online for tech support. It was definately Level 1 support (had me checking all the stuff I had already spent an hour checking - and had already told him I tested it all).
Anyway, I spent an hour on the chat with Adobe Tech Support going through the usual stuff.
He had me check virus programs, computer clock, conenctions to Adobe sites (like the licensing servers). But nothing ever helped or worked. Then he told me to try going directly to the Adobe Creative Cloud site and trying to download and install the Creative Cloud desktop manager. I did that but it hangs when it launches the manager on the initial window with a black/grey Creative Cloud bar at the top (with the tool drop-down on the right side) but the rest of the window never loads.
After an hour of going in circles I decided it would be better to try again later with someone in second-level support.
In the meantime, I uninstalled ALL Adobe applications. There is no Flash-Player, no Acrobat Reader - nothing from Adobe in my programs list.
I then tried to download and install the Adobe Application Manager. It works up to the point where it launches the Creative Cloud Desktop tools and then hangs at the same place.
There is a Creative Cloud window with the normal black/grey bar at the top - but the rest of the window (where you would normally see and load the apps from) stays empty.
I have rebooted the computer several times to be sure it is a fresh start. That has not helped at all. One additional thing I have noticed in these multiple attempts is that when the Creative Cloud Desktop Manager installer gets about 95% done, it causes Windows Explorer to crash (not Internet Explorer but Windows Explorer). Once Windows Explorer resets, Creative Cloud continues the installation but then opens the window (above) that has nothing but the black/grey header.
I'm struggling for what to do next. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Right now I am paying $50 a month for something I can't even install or use.
For what it's worth, the system is an HP laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. 8GB of RAM and plenty of HDD space. All security updates applied and Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1. I doubt that any of that last line is relevant since I could run all of this with no problem before wiping the hard drive AND it was all running with no problem - other than Activating Acrobat at the start of this whole issue.

Jim,
You are a lifesaver! I can't think of how many additional hours of frustration you just saved me - but Thank You!!
After posting, I had determined (like you said), that Explorer must be doing that for a reason. I created a new user profile on the system (added a user temporarily) and observed the same behavior of Windows Explorer (stopping/starting) but then continuing to work as it should. At that point I knew the answer was somewhere in the user's profile but I would have had no idea where to look. The opm.db file was indeed the culprit.
I sure do appreciate the excellent help.

Getting hang/crash problem when I try to close browser window from applet

I have a small Apllet that has a button that calls a Javascript function in the opening window, to close the window in which it is loaded.
The Applet window is a PopUp window from one of my application's window. First time I start my application and load that Applet the button works fine. It calls the Javascript method and the Method closes the window using the self.close() method.
But now if I open the applet window again and click on the button to close the windows, it hangs. I put in trace statements and saw that it hangs on JSObject.getWindow() window.
I am using JDK Plugin 1.4.2_07 and 5.0 , if I work out on IE browser, it works fine.But when I use firefox or mozilla it gives problem of hanging/crashing.
Note that in case of 1.4.2_07 this problem experienced some times but in case of 5.0 it gives always for other than IE browser.
Please, if somebody could give me some clue about why this would happen, I will really appreciate that. and code related to this is given below
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import netscape.javascript.JSObject;
public class TestApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener{
protected JButton closeButton = null;
protected JSObject win = null;
private JFrame frame = null;
private boolean alreadyClosed = false;
public void init(){
this.win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
this.closeButton = new JButton("Close Browser Window");
this.add(this.closeButton);
this.closeButton.addActionListener(this);
frame = new JFrame("Test Frame");
frame.setSize(300, 400);
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.out.println("windowClosing");
alreadyClosed = true;
TestApplet.this.stop();
frame.show();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
stop();
public void stop() {
if (!alreadyClosed) {
alreadyClosed = true;
frame.dispose();
closeLaunchedBrowser();
System.gc();
System.runFinalization();
private void closeLaunchedBrowser() {
final TestApplet thisObject = this;
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
JSObject win = (JSObject)JSObject.getWindow(thisObject);
if (win != null && win.toString() != null) {
//win.eval("top.opener=self;self.close();");
//win.call("close", null);
win.eval("self.close();");
} catch (Exception e) {
Thread t = new Thread(r);
t.start();
Thanks.

I am waiting for any reply. I have tried for all these below options still I am getting Problem. I heard this is because of javascript, it wont call methods more times .Thats
why I need other than JSObject or java script solution.If some one know anything about this or any modifications I have to made for the below options to avoid that problem please let me know.
// URL durl = new URL(thisObject.getCodeBase(), "test/CloseMe.htm");
// System.out.println("URL :" + durl.toString());
// thisObject.getAppletContext().showDocument(durl);
// thisObject.getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL("javascript:window.close();"), "_self");
//win.eval("top.opener=self;top.close();");
//win.call("close", null);
//Object[] args = { "close", new Integer(50) };
// win.call("setTimeout", args);
//win.eval("setTimeout("close", new Integer(50));");
If it is the problem of JRE I just need it should work on 1.4.2_01 or higher.
thanks.

PS CC (since JAN 2014 update) Layer-mask editing causes hangs/crashes

ONLY since JAN 2014 update, PS CC has been hanging/crashing when I paint/edit a layer mask. All may be well at first (or not), but suddenly the display of the mask (or mask overlay on the layer itself, as shown when hitting backslash key) is not shown in full but renders in s-l-o-w-l-y in rectilinear pieces <snapshot below was taken before video card upgraded but is still typical of what I mean>. When I view Windows' Task Manager for PS, I see my CPUs are each working at their upper limits (up to 80+-90+%), varying only by a few points, over a VERY long time... which could be MANY minutes. OR the System has decided PS is Not Responding.
In any case, whenever this happens, it means in all practicality PS CC is not working, so I either kill it or it's crashed.
Now, here's the thing: that VERY file, can immediately be opened in PS CS6 (which I have fortunately kept installed on my computer), and the mask will be as I thought it should be, and I can edit it as I always could, just fine! So it's obviously a PS CC thing, and I do NOT recall this happening prior to the JAN update. It is still a problem after the two subsequent updates.
I have not been able to determine the specific instances when this happens, as it seems to happen whenever I am editing a mask, no matter what size/softness/color brush, what magnification, what view mode, many or few layers, big or small file, etc.
I did upgrade my NVIDIA card (from GeForce GTX 260 [with current driver] to GTX660), just in case it was a factor (maybe kept it from crashing as fast? hard to tell... but it's still an unworkable problem). You can see from my Sys Info shown here from the PS CC Help menu that it should be more than sufficient for any PS CC task, and it's running the latest driver:

I work on digital-photography files, and use a layer mask in almost every file, so this relatively-recent bug is a big PITA, having to switch back and forth between CS6 and CC!
Until there's a fix... is there a way to roll-back my PS CC version to BEFORE the JAN 15, 2014 update?

I am not qualified to comment on technical issues; I'm just a user whose son in IT is my 'technical support department.' (But he's not much of a PS user.)
I'm pretty sure, however, that all my Prefs were set to the same things BEFORE the Jan 16, 2014 PS CC update as after (unless the update itself changed something I was unaware of... the settings APPEARED to be the same but I can't easily locate my notes of what my Prefs were from long ago).
And they were the same as the PS CS6 I have had installed on this same system for a very long time, with older video card with older driver, with newer driver; newer video card with newest driver, etc. Yet after that CC update, CC has not (until this workaround) worked re 'the masking bug' for me, yet CS6 has always worked just the same.
So I conclude that the only variable (other than the video card upgrade I did in an attempt to solve this and of course those Windows auto-updates) in this scenario IS something to do with PS *CC*, and after Jan 16, 2014.
As for restarting the machine vs. restarting PS, well, PS is the major player of my system, so when I shut that (and LR) down, I might as well 'clean things up' by Restarting. BTW, I am in the habit of closing and reopening PS (CC or CS6) whenever I finish with a file and load another, in order to get back some of that memory which PS never seems to want to let go. (This is not new to the latest versions, I think. My son says it's a 'memory hog'? ;-) ) I track its memory use in Windows' Task Manager and find that seems to let it 'refresh' itself. (See, I told you I'm not a technical person. ;-) ) But I do not think this has anything to do with the bug. Just a quirk of PS. Like when a tool goes all wonky (for example, its little icon becomes just a 'plus' sign even though the tool is still performing correctly, it's telling me, I think, that it would like to be restarted. And that makes it feel all better... I mean, tool icon reappears.)
Anyway... it's up to Adobe to figure out IF and what may be wrong with PS CC -- it still doesn't work for me as I had it configured at first, and I think it should, right? -- and to fix that... PLEASE. SOON.

Adobe Premiere Elements 8 Hangs Crashes Errors - Vista 32

Hi,
First I'll admit i'm no pro (obviously why im using elements), so if im doing something amatuerish it's because i'm not a professional.
I remember using adobe premiere elements 3 a while ago, and it ran fine.
I just bought Premiere Elements 8 and it's crashed more than any program i've ever used. Ive been to many forums to address the issues however there seems to be no solution in site (especially given that their support seems to be down at the moment).
The first "weird" issue is that I get a little red X that appears at the lower left portion of the screen and when I click on it it says that my preformance will be poor because my graphics card isn't working properly. This is not true as my Dual Nvidia 9800GT cards are working fine. (I have sli turned off for the record because of a conflict with Cubase). So I don't know what this means. But I did notice something odd in my windows video display options I have 1 montor enabled but I see 3 grayed out disabled monitors even thought I only have 1 plugged in. (I was using an additional one but it's unplugged currently)
My most common issue is with hanging that won't end. This usually happens when I apply a change to a file and trim it, or move it almost always in the timeline. The progrom just closes all together when I edit still images from time to time especially when I overlap it with a video.
When the hangs happen my Cpu is at 12%ish, and I have ram available. Although Premiere uses a truckload!
Here are my project specs:
The preset project mode that I chose was HD (hard drive) video, widescreen 48k because the files are from my hard drive so I didn't know what to choose
Working with .mov files which were improperly formated from the source with regards to aspect and given to me so i had to stretch them out (could this be an issue?)
Using the standard Premiere sound driver, although I do have a focurite interface but i only use that for Cubase.
Backround rendering is on (seems to speed things up with regards to workflow)
Autoanalyzer is off
Computer specs:
Dell XPS 630i
Intel Core2duo 3.16 Ghz
4 Gigs of ram (although only 2.8 showing because of partition issues anyone have a solution?)
Windows Vista 32 home premium
Dual SLI Nvidia 9800GT graphics cards - Both rated at 512 memory (latest drivers, physex, and 3D have been uninstalled threaded optimization turned off)
Mcaffe security system
If anyone can figure anything out from what I wrote please let me know! thanks

Here's some basics (some of which you've already covered). Definitely disable McAfee realtime scanning while using PRE.:
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.8 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.
Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started
As you've JUST bought PRE8 contact Adobe and get the complimentary upgrade to PRE9. Upgrade eligibility after new product announcement
Cheers,

Sql Developer hangs/ crashes while debugging

While happily debugging a piece of an SQL package using the remote debugger, I get a hang/crash on SQL devleoper. This occurs when I highlight a piece of code in the debugging window. The application freezes and has to be restarted using WindowsTaskManager.
Is this a reported bug? I was not able to find any discussion on the OTN forums or a quick google.

Flash problems, by hanging/crashing in win7 64bit ?compatibility

Over the last two to three months I have had increasing problems with Flash Player and shockwave hanging/crashing. I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and Firefox. I understand that the latest versions of flash are not compatible with 64 bit Win 7. Is this true and how can I solve this problem? Thanks Drummond Mansbridge

They're 100% fully compatible with Win 7. At least on my Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit machine, there are no problems with FF, Opera, Safari, Chrome or IE 10.
Keeping BOTH Flash Player and Shockwave up to date, helps.
Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player 12 FULL Installer
Use those to do a complete uninstall and reinstall.
IF it still crashes frequently, check your other FF plugins to see if there's a conflict.

CS - Scratch Disk Error, Hanging Crash

Photoshop has started flipping out on me for no good reason. Anything can trigger this 'hanging crash'; it appears to be completely random and regardless of file size, color space, tools in use, or anything else.
I get an error window, then the program locks up, spends at LEAST ten minutes failing to shut down (costing me a lot of idle time), and then finally closes. Force quitting will not speed up its 'crash' or stop it from beachballing. In addition, while it is taking its own sweet time to believe that it's been force-quit, it bogs down the rest of my machine so I can't hardly do anything else. Activity Monitor, however, will not show it as an active/running program.
I've run Disk First Aid and scraped off the preference barnacles, but it doesn't help. There USED to be a way to make the scratch disk bigger (I thought maybe it might somehow be running out of space) but that doesn't seem to be an option anymore.
This is the error window.

Okay, so... I just installed CS4 a little while ago.
I am STILL getting the same issues. Either it will just go into Spinnyball Neverland until I force quit it (which takes a good 10-15 minutes to even clear), or I get the exact same error message above.
No other CS4 products cause this error.... JUST Photoshop. What the fel is its damage? Can't anyone tell me?

App always hangs on Windows phone

Hi, the app ALWAYS hangs on windows phone, especially when switching between apps, other times it just crashes. I have a 50/50 chance that something goes wrong when trying to change song or jump back into Spotify when playing.

Which version of the LiveSDK are you currently using?

Constant browser hanging/crashing (Safari, Firefox, and Camino)

Hello everyone.
Lately my browser has been hanging/crashing on multiple websites. It doesn't matter what browser I use which is the odd thing! A browser always crashes at around the same time (about a second or two into loading). I am constantly force-quitting browsers and restarting them. I feel like it has something to do with Flash because the crashes occur whenever I visit Youtube, Myspace music pages or other sites with Flash applets on them (such as my blog where I have embedded videos).
Here are a bunch of sites my browser hangs on. Maybe you can find something in common with them all?
http://www.myspace.com/bbeyke
http://www.youtube.com
http://justinmarclloyd.blogspot.com
And of course, everything runs smoothly when visiting sites with basic HTML, Javascript, etc. I can search Google, use Wikipedia, use Flickr, go to my website at http://justinmarclloyd.com, go to my business website at http://www.theblacksea.org, browse apple.com, use this forum, etc.
I've tried updating and reinstalling adobe flash player, restarting my computer, repairing permissions, using software update, etc. Restarting actually temporarily fixed the problem but within a few hours of browsing, it started happening again.
Any ideas?!
EDIT: I was able to go to http://video.google.com/ and successfully watch videos there. Now I'm even more confused.

HI,
Try resetting Safari. From the Menu Bar, click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
If that doesn't help, try Open DNS Click the computer icon and follow the instructions.
Also try deleting this file. com.apple.safari.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
Go here for information on background maintenance.

Make sure you have available disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
If none of the above helps, post the most recent crash log.
How to locate a crash log:
1. Open Finder.
2. Click "Go" in the menu, then select "Go to Folder".
3. Copy and paste this path into the Finder dialog: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
4. Click the Go button.
5. Finder opens the folder containing the crash log. Look for a the crash file with a date field that looks like the most recent.

ITunes 10.6 hangs on Windows 7

iTunes 10.6 hangs on Windows 7 on iTunes startup. My current page is the iTunes Store, and I see iTunes start up, and the progress bar on the top line shows "Accessing iTunes Store..." with the stripy progress bar moving for about 10 seconds. Then it stops moving and the whole application hangs, with the Windows 7 spinner telling me to wait. No Windows controls work (I can't close the window or stop the application). At this point, I have to either reboot or use Task Manager to kill iTunes. No amount of waiting works, and uninstall / reinstall iTunes does not resolve the issue.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Issue: After installing the device driver above, system reboots and after logging back using the local admin account or any other windows account (DWM service) crashes along with any other software installed (Ms. Office, Lync, IE9, ...ext). Tried uninstalling the driver, rebooted and Windows runs smoothly again back with no errors.
4. Questions:
T440 hardware compatible with Lenovo ThinkPad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video ?
Which USB version Lenovo ThinkPad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video has ? (2.0 or 3.0) ? did I missed some special drivers for USB ?
Any other links for the above driver can be found for Win 7 Enterprise 64bit ?
For 3 days, am searching the web for a similar issue, found and followed all troubleshooting steps mentioned by others but none of them helped. I will really appreciate your support if any expert can advise. Thanks in advanced

I have the same problem with my T400 updated to Win 7 pro. Not happy.
