Parallels Desktop getting Stuck on "Applying Computer Settings"

I get it installed and updated, but everytime I complete the installation of PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 and reboot, Windows XP hangs on 'Applying Computer Settings.'
Anyone have a clue what to due to advance it beyond this point? I have uninstalled and and reinstalled it already one and applied all updated.

No, I dont think so as I had XP running fine and in
fact even had it hooked into my local home Windows
2003 server on my home domain.
Has to be something with PC-cillin.
James, sorry, what I meant was your title says "Parallels Desktop getting Stuck", and to me it sounds like Parallels is working fine, its XP that is stuck on "Applying Computer Settings"? (could very well be PC-cillin, just not sure if Parallels is the issue)
Some Windows XP docs on it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832161
(mentions trying to unplug the network cable to see if it loads that way)

http://microsoft.mailarchive.ca/public.windowsxp.security_admin/2004-10/2366.htm l
(DNS issues)
I don't see any specific issues mentioned on the Parallels board about PC-cillin, I guess the easiest thing is to boot into safe mode, remove PC-cillin completely and restart without it. I've run AVG on my XP copy running on Parallels with no issues. Good luck!

Server stucks at Applying Computer Settings after every reboot

Hello!
On one of our sites containing around 15 servers, whenever a terminal server is rebooted, it gets stuck on Applying Computer Settings for around 15 minutes. If it is un-joined from the domain then no issue. Moreover, once it is done with this delay, no time
delay is observed in user login. But after every reboot, 15 - 20 mins delay is always observed. Domain is the same at other sites and no issue is being observed else where.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
In addition, for a test please try to modify the behavior of HTTP.SYS to depend on another service being started first. To do this, perform the following steps:
1. Open Registry Editor
2. Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP and create the following Multi-string value:
DependOnService
3. Double click the new DependOnService entry
4. Type CRYPTSVC in the Value Data field and click OK.
5. Reboot the server
NOTE: Please ensure that you make a backup of the registry / affected keys before making any changes to your system.

Can't get WRT54G to start up, gets stuck at "checking computer settings"

Can't get WRT54G to start up, gets stuck at "checking computer settings" at 99% Please help!
If I hit the escape key it will go to the password screen, it looks like the password is already entered for me so I hit enter, but then it just goes back to "checking computer settings" and won't go past 99% again.'
Sorry but the last post mistakenly said the wrong number so I posted this.

If you are running the install CD that came with the router, the behavior you describe is exactly what happened when I tried using the CD today. The CD didn't seem to work with my computer's fixed IP address (not in the 192.168.1.0 network.)
What worked for me was to set my computer to have the fixed IP address 192.168.1.2. Then I was able to contact the router using its web interface at 192.168.1.1 amd make the necessary settings.
The password had NOT been changed from the default despite the install CD software seemingly accepting a new password. The default password worked.

2008R2 RD Termimnal Server stuck at apply computer settings over an hour

Hi Everyone
I am currently experience issue with my 2008R2 RD Terminal Servers. Every time I reboot the server it stuck in the "Apply computer settings" screen for few hours. These RD Terminal server is part of our NLB cluster. User connect to the
RD terminal Servers via FQDN for the NLB cluster VIP . Each servers has dual network adaptor. The second network adaptor is link to a NLB cluster. If one of the servers stuck in the "Apply computer settings
screen" Open NLB manger from one of the RD Terminal server, NLB manager will end up not responding.
I have found a way to allow me to login to the problematic RD terminal server by disabling the network on the network adaptor of the vm. This allow me to login. Then I quickly re enable the network on the adaptor. Users complained when
they log in to that server stuck at "Apply computer settings" screen
We do have GPO policy apply to these terminal servers I have moved one of the RD Terminal server to another OU with minimum policy that makes no different.
Appreciate any advice
Thanks

I have managed to resolve the issue by going into safe mode and disable windows management instrumentation service after reboot I am able to login . remove VMware tools. restart the server. apply computer setting disappear. almost like something is conflicting

Stuck on "Applying computer settings"?

I've got a three year old server running Server 2008R2 that has never shown any signs of a problem but today it blue screened and rebooted and after that it never gets to the login prompt getting stuck on this "Applying computer settings"
message.
I've read a number of threads about this and several suggested fixes including a Microsoft FixIt, but my problem now is that I can't seem to login in Safe Mode in order to run the FixIt or any other repair. Because this is the only DC in the domain I can't
login using the domain administrator account, then for some reason I also can't login to the local administrator account. The password for the local administrator is not the same as the password for the domain administrator and I can't find any record in the
folder that's kept on this server of what the local admin password was and the folder which should contain a password reset disk is missing.
Is there any workaround for this problem when you can't login in safe mode?
- Norm

"then for some reason I also can't login to the local administrator account" Domain controllers don't have local administrator accounts. When they are promoted to a DC, the 'local administrator' is the domain administrator.
"Because this is the only DC in the domain " OUCH! One of the many reasons Microsoft always recommends having at least two DCs.
Option 1. Go to your latest DC backup and recover, and hope that you have not made too many changes to your DC since your last backup. With a single DC, hopefully you were creating a new backup after each known change.
Option 2. Depending on what you thing you can do, boot into WinPE and manipulate files on the disk. Obviously, you will need to know the specifics of what you are trying to change. Sometimes the Fixit instructions provide the details necessary.

Windows server 2008 R2 stuck at applying computer settings

Hello all:
i have seen other posts with this same problem, but none of them apply to my situation.
i have a set of virtual servers, mounted over Vsphere 5.5 running on XenApp, all basically with the same configuration, except for the hosted applications, however i only have problems with some of those servers.
i have tried:
placing the servers on an empty OU --no change
remove the native VMware network driver and install intel drivers --no change
created the registry key : HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\DependOnService
(value CRYPTSVC) --no change
run winsock on the affected servers --worked...after a week the same situationis present.
i tried changing the DNS server order -- worked
i then tried to bring the DNS servers to the established order, and the servers where able to boot propperly.
at this point im out of ideas!
sorry, i meant R2!

If I understand well, by tweaking the IP Settings DNS configuration, you were able to fix the problem.
I would recommend that you use the IP settings I recommended here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18513.active-directory-replication-issues-basic-troubleshooting-steps-single-ad-domain-in-a-single-ad-forest.aspx
As for the member servers / computers, make sure that they point only to internal DNS servers for DNS resolution. T troubleshoot DNS resolution, you can use
NSlookup with debug mode: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/29184.nslookup-for-beginners.aspx

Clients hangs at "Applying Computer Settings" for 10 + Minutes intermittantly

On a handful of our machines we are experiencing an issue with long hangs at Applying Computer Settings before getting to the logon screen.
I have checked for network and domain issues but everything seems to be working as expected and for the majority there hasn't been any issues.
I ran the userenv log and have received the following, most notably the long delay at 17:03:33...

I have read through a number of posts but am yet to find a resolution to this issue and would appreciate a "fresh set of eyes" on this one!
Thanks and kind regards,

I had enabled GPSVC debugging and attached a link in my initial post. Thanks for the reference for the policy reporter, it makes the readability a whole lot easier.
Below is a small excerpt of where it appears my long wait is coming from, although correct me if i'm wrong but the problem could be somewhere else and it just so happens that it's at this of the boot process that it's brought to light due to a dependency

Windows 7 Pro taking a long time to "applying computer settings" before logging on with Group Policy w/Logs

Hi There,
We have been having issues with laptops hanging up at the screen where it says "applying computer settings" when the computer starts up. These laptops are used by 10-20 different students everyday. I have changed the registry to create the gpsv.log.
I will share the link to my google drive so you can see both of the logs from two computers.

Windows Server 2008 hangs in "Applying computer settings" after installing Sharepoint 2010

Hi!
I have a server which is designated to be a Sharepoint server, I have successfully installed the server, SQL server R2 and Sharepoint 2010, but right after Sharepoint Server 2010 is installed the nex time I reboot the machine it hangs in "Applying computer
settings" I have tried reinstalling the server several times, improving the server specs.
The installations run just fine I can even see the sharepoint site, and make any configuration, the issue comes when I restart the server (for updates for example..)
Can someone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance
Carlos R Vargas M

Hi,
It may take some time for configuration after the new installation. Please wait patiently. If it still hangs, please refer to the following article:

How to i get past the settings screen when trying to view my photostream? I just get stuck on the iCloudPhotos Settings page and can to any further. Really annoying and i guess there is a simple answer to it? Can anyone tell me?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Congratulations on your new MacBook Pro. You'll love it.
In terms of your PowerBook G4, apparently your Hard Disk Drive has failed completely and I am not sure what else it wrong.
First, try this:
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously later.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command + Option + P + R keys immediately after the startup chime.
• Hold keys down until you hear the startup chime for the third time.
• Release the keys and immediately hold down Shift key to start up in Safe Mode.
• Log in and empty Trash.
• Restart normally and log in.
If that does not work try Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
If still no dice, try the procedure outlined in the article Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck.

Quick Launch Desktop get stuck when scrolling Mavericks apps

Is just that, when scrolling horizontally to go to my other apps in the quicklaunch desktop, it get's so stcuked, that event splits the screen in half icons from the left side, and half icons from the right side. Anyone? (MBP 13' mid 2012)

I may not have explained exactly...so basically when i go to the main desktop screen, and open a program or use the dock, it sometimes gets stuck in show mode. Then when i go back to the safari full screen app for instance, the dock stays up, with the latest program highlighted. In order to get the dock to go away, i need to go back to the desktop and hover over the dock again for it to hide.
I really hope someone else is experiencing this because its very annoying and I want apple to fix it quickly

Why is Finder (desktop) getting stuck on MacBookPro?

I have OSX version 10.7.4 and my desktop keeps freezing while I am moving things from folder to folder. My browser will work, but nothing on my desktop, the wheel just keeps spinning. I have to shut the computer off and then have trouble restarting. It takes several tries to get it to load correctly.... what's going on here?

I have the same problem but it is with my iMac 3.4GHz Intel Core i7 (27 inch Mid-2011), and I think I have traced it to my use of External Seagate USB 3.0 drives. Obviously I am not using USB 3.0 since it's not available on this iMac, but my computer will work fine for days when they are not hooked up, but if I do hook them up, at random points Finder will freeze when I try to access the disks. I can't reliably copy between the external disks (large files) without having Finder freeze. Thinking it might be my USB hub, I plugged both drives directly into the back of the iMac and still have the same problem. HOWEVER, if I plug the two drives into my old MacBookPro (17-inch, Early 2008), things work just fine! I have an External LaCie and an old SimpleTech that run 100% of the time with no problem. I'm going to blame the Seagates and their 3.0 implementation with the new iMac, but clearly there's something amiss with the iMac. (Of course I'm running the same OS X version 10.7.4) Wish there would be some sort of update to fix this, but of course it's a bear to reproduce, and there are no logs available to send (other than the console logs), so not sure what can be done... Hope someone is "listening" and can shed some light.

VS seems to get stuck on loading user settings

This is my first time to run VS2012 on a newly installed Windows 7 box. The installation went smoothly. After I started VS, it showed the following message soon:
Microsoft Visual Studio is loading user settings. This may take a few minutes.
It has remained there for about half an hour. The process devenv.exe has been using about 25% CPU time on a quard-core machine. How long should I wait before killing the process?
Any tip will be greatly appreciated.
Hong

Hi Hong,
Thanks for your post.
When open visual studio the first time, it may take a while to load your user settings. But your process seems taking too much time. Not sure what is the reason.
Since you can use it and it starts quickly, I'll mark this thread.
If you have any problem or updates, please feel free to let me know.

User Stuck at Applying User Setting after Login

I have windows server 2008r2 remote desktop environment. All my users stuck at Applying User Setting after login. I disabled remote desktop network interface for some time, then enabled and all fine. Checked logs in detail and nothing unusual found.
Could anyone assist to avoid recurrence of issue.
Rox_Star

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
Sorry for late response. How is everything going on?
Does both the issue happens on same server? Is that same server with domain joined?
The above question relates to your other post.
Server stucks at Applying Computer Settings after every reboot
From the issue it seems that DNS server is not getting properly communicate for the server and due to that reason you are getting slow connection response from the DC to connect. If you are using DHCP in your network, you need to check the DHCP server setting
also for properly assigned IP address to the server. You can run “ipconfig /all” and check the DNS setting on your affected server.
In addition to above one, you can edit the registry setting for a test and check the result.
1. Open registry editor with regedit
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click
Multi-string Value.
4. Type DependOnService, and then press ENTER.
5. Right-click DependOnService, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type CRYPTSVC, and then click OK.
7. Exit Registry Editor.
8. Restart the computer.
Actually there is Hotfix (KB 2379016) for server 2008 but you can try this solution for server 2008 R2.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
