MOVED: K9A Platinium - PC freezes everytime I insert USB device win 7 x64

This topic has been moved to Windows 64bit.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=141830.0

I hate to revive a solved thread, but I had an issue doing the same task -- installing Windows 7 x86 in a Windows Virtual PC instance on a Windows 7 x64 operating system. This thread was the top result, but it did not solve my problem.
My problem was not related to a bad download. I was able to confirm that the SHA1 was the same for my MSDN download as what was listed on the website. In other threads, some people used USB flash drives to install Windows, but I don't have access to one
of those. I tried using Virtual CloneDrive to mount the ISO as a drive, and I tried burning the ISO to a DVD and running it from the physical drive as well. Neither worked.
Here is what solved my problem:
In the VPC profile, if you right-click and select "Settings", then select the "DVD-ROM" option on the left, it will give you the option to select which physical drive the virtual machine will be using. Instead of using a drive, select "Open an ISO Image"
and browse to the file that way.
For me, this circumvented the whole CD/DVD driver issue and I was able to install Windows successfully.

Help my ibook freezes when I connect usb devices

Hi there
I have had problems for weeks when I attached usb devices to my ibook. I have a usb (MAC approved) headset which caused the ibook to freeze when I connect it before or after startup. I also have a usb modem for a broadband connection which causes the ibook to freeze. The printer is usb also, but it only causes the ibook to freeze some of the time ????? I have run the hardware test disc, there were no errors. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreiate hearing them.
Cheers

Hi f,

Reproducible Freeze on Wakeup (when USB devices connected)

When I bought Leopard, I also bought a Buffalo 500GB drive for use with Time Machine.
- HD plugged in (powered on)
OK WAKEUP
- HD plugged in (powered off)
FREEZE
- HD not in
OK WAKEUP
- Canon camera plugged in (powered off)
FREEZE
- Canon camera plugged in (powered on)
OK WAKEUP
What's weird is that the iPod Nano seems to be the exception to the rule. But then I realized that it never really goes to sleep when it's plugged in - it's always on (but with a dim "charge complete" screen).
This is reproducible as **** here for me but bloody annoying that I have to keep unplugging my devices all the time.
C'mon Apple, let's move!

This is a user to user forum. This is a well known bug that has been around since Mac OS 8.6 with many third party USB devices. They don't understand the low power mode when the USB ports go to sleep. About the only thing you can do is tell the manufacturers of the said devices they need to find out from Apple the USB standard they use for low powered devices so they can upgrade the firmware for the said devices so that they can handle low power mode.

Freezing MBP when inserting USB or Thunderbolt connector

I have quite new MBP Retina, it was working very well in the beginning but now, without any reason, it is not working that well. When I connect any USB connector (printer or external HDD), thunderbolt with ethernet adapter etc. - the cursor freezes for 5-10 sec (just now when connecting the ethernet adapter, the computer has frozen completely and I had to do a force restart). The same when opening the lid - it often takes quite long time before the laptop awakes (there is a grey and then light blue screen) and often the cursor freezes too for some time.
This is very strange and unwelcome and certainly not as I would expect "the best Mac ever" to behave - for such a price. As I said - it was not doing like that from the beginning, but was spoilt like this some time ago. What can be the reason and how to bring it back to normal functioning ?

It's new and it seems as if you are having hardware problems - take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose and fix the problems. Could be logic board related since it's happening with both ports.
Good luck,
Clinton

What can I do about itunes freezing everytime I try to do something substantial like erase all my duplicates

Where is your library file? If it is on a network share rather than a local disk that can cause a big slowdown.
Every change in the library requires that all smart playlists are reevaluated and the library is rewritten to disc. As your library grows the time taken to perform these actions will grow exponentially rather than linearly.
As to duplicates, I've written a script called DeDuper which you might find useful. See this thread for background.

Everytime I insert a blank CD into my iMac, it spits it out. How can I fix this so I can burn CDs?

Try using a LensCleaner Disk first off. If that won't even run try a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
Then use the Lens Cleaner again. Make sure your disks are immaculately clean.

Quicktime freezes everytime I open it. Windows don't close. How do I fix this?

Quicktime freezes everytime I open it. Windows with previously watched videos keep opening. When I close them, and when the only one I wish to watch is left, it freezes and I have to force quit. A window of that video is then added to the many that open upon starting up next time.

Here's a few things I try when an app misbehaves and crashes.
1. Quit the app and restart it like this: Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it work like normal.
2. If the first suggestion did not work try quitting the app again but instead of restarting it right away, reset your device like this: Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. Ten restart the app and see if it works.
3. If neither of the previous suggestions worked I suggest deleting the app by tapping and holding on the app until it jiggles and displays a Rex X. Tap the X and confirm that you want to delete the app. Then reset your device. After the device has restarted go to the App Store and download Facebook again.
If all these fail you might just have to search for an alternative app until Facebook fixes the problem.

You may need to update to iTunes 10.7, which would require OS X 10.6.8.
But you can first try to reboot your computer and router/modem

Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics?

Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics from card?

Thanks for your response. When it comes to computers, I am almost
illiterate. I have a HP Pavillion PC and have used Photoshop Elements 5.0
for a number of years. Computer crashed couple of weeks ago and I sent it
back to HP. They returned it with new guts I think. Had to reinstall my
programs and use my external backup to get all the stuff back, including
about 11,000 pics. Now, every time I try to put the SD card in to download
the pics to the Organizer, it downloads about 4 or 5 pics and freezes.
Have to use task manager to get PC going again. Been doing the same thing
for years and this just happened since I got new PC back. Is that any help?
'preciate your response.

Firefox freezes everytime ~ OS X 10.5.8, Flash 10.3.183.10

Im also using OS X 10.5.8, Firefox 3.6.23 and have Flash 10.3.183.10 installed. I am having a problem loading flash apps~ firefox freezes everytime and i must "force quit" firefox everytime. In one of the gaming forums, players using chrome and other browsers are having issues as well.
On the mozilla firefox "plug-in check" page it lists all my plug ins and tells me if i need to update.
Even after I tried to do so, it still says I need to update. Is this beacuse I am not using the latest version of flash (even though OS X 10.5 doesn't support latest version)?
Is this version of flash mentioned above the latest version that will work for me? When i try to install updates, After I do so and restart firefox, it prompts me to do the whole process all over again~ over & over. What the heck is going on? Any trouble shooting tips or links would be helpful!

My PC freezes everytime i connect my Zen V P

Dear,
Since last week, everytime I connect my Zen V Plus to my PC, it just freeze. And when I unplug the cable, PC runs back to normal. I used to be able to connect it to PC without any problem. Now my Zen V Plus still able to play songs normally. And it still charging when I plug the cable to PC. But I can't add songs to it coz PC just freeze.
I got USB 2.0 and Windows Media Player installed. Could it be any hardware problem? I tried to push reset button and the problem is still the same..
Please advice..

Hi,
Sorry to hear you are having problems. You could try setting the Zen up as a removable disk. Once you set it up re-attach to the PC. If the problems occur then it could very well be problems with the USB port. If on the other hand it works and you can read and write data to the player in Removable Disk mode then it is more than likely software. I'd try
) Re-running the Zen V software installation.
2) Reload WMP or if you think this could be the problem then try reverting back to WMP 0 (instructions here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player//readme.aspx from the MS site.
3) Open up the task manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) and check to see if the program CTSYNCU.EXE is running.
4) Try using MSCONFIG.EXE to do a selecti've startup. Another application may be to blame. Check out here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/30560/ for more information on this is
Hope this helps,

ITunes Freezes everytime iPod plug

Good day. My iTunes freezes everytime I plug my iPod classic into the pc. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks

I am having the same problem so I am going to bump your message...
iTunes freezes when I update my iPod and I get no error messages. It becomes unresponsive and I end up having to use Task Manager to close the program. When I reopen iTunes and try updating again it usually will but then I cannot disconnect the iPod because it says it is "being used by another application". I have to go into My Computer to eject the iPod. Also, after updating is complete the "Do Not Disconnect" continues to flash until the iPod is ejected. I have reinstalled iTunes, iPod updater, the whole bit and nothing has helped. I'm on Win XP.
