Starcraft 2 freezes when loading.

I have had starcraft for a few months now and it has not given me any trouble. But for some reason, this morning it freezes whenever run with wine. I played it yesterday, did not update anything, and it worked fine.
I then updated all of my software, but the problem persisted. I also removed all configuration problems, and SC still freezes when it runs.
The freeze occurs right after the game loading screen, and before the user login window is displayed. When SC freezes, one of my cores is stuck at 100% usage.
I'm running Arch 64 bit, have an NVIDIA 9600M GT graphics card, all of my drivers and software are recent.
I am particularly confused by this since I literally did nothing to my system before SC started freezing. Below is the output from wine.

I am having this exact same issue on ubuntu. I'm running wine-1.3.5 which version are you using?
Also, a friend of mine had a similar issue under windows where the game would freeze before displaying the login screen. Seems it was the Defense+ system. Now this does not make sense for wine but what it does seem is that if the socket create / bind operation halts the game locks up. If the problem is similar someone did something to wine's networking.
I'm also getting an error about internal dll mmdevaip.dll not loading. If I remember correctly that needs to be disabled in your wine config. I checked this and attempted setting then unsettling it to no effect.
Edit: Running starcraft with winedbg Starcraft\ II.exe command line seems to work. Once you have done this once starcraft works with normal wine. I have no idea why but it worked for me.
NOTE: once winedbg starts you will need to type cont then hit enter. Once you get to the login screen exit and run starcraft normally.

Extension Manager CS6 freezes when loading extensions

Extension Manager CS6 freezes when loading extensions
When launching Extension Manager CS6 it starts loading extensions but totally freezes when the last 30 percent of the loading extension bar is still unaccomplished. It is not possible to close the window, not even with the task manager. I have restart the computer to get rid of it.
My OS is Windows 7, 64 bit. The most recent versions of the entire Adobe CS family are installed, freshly updated, including the Extension Manager CS6.
To trace the cause of the problem I tried to create a log file in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Extension Manager CS6. I logged in as administrator and wrote in the Command Prompt Window:
echo > ExManLog.YES
The log file was created but contains nothing but "ECHO is on".
A possible cause of the problem might be that I have two installed active version of Ajatix Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu, which is an add-on to Dreamweaver. The first version is the free one, the second is the full paid version. I would like to deactivate the first one since which might make the Extension Manager happier. But the only way to deactivate it that I know of is to use the Extension Manager. Catch 22.

Dear Carl, thanks for the advice that made me understand how to remove an extension without using the Extension Manager. However, the problem persists, i.e the Extension Manager freezes soon after it is launched, when the last 30 percent of the loading extension bar is still unaccomplished.
Following your instruction I have tried to remove both my versions of the troublesome DW extension (Ajatix Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu). Which in my case meant that I deleted the following files:
the files com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.mxi, com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.mxi_air and com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.zxp in C:\Users\<My UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\EM Store\Dreamweaver CS6
and the files ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxi, ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxi_air and ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxp in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\EM Store\Dreamweaver CS6
In the hope of cleaning out everything from this extension I have also deleted the following files:
AJXCSSMenu.chm, AJXCSSMenu.dll in C:\Users\UpdatusUser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\JSExtensions
and AJXCSSMenu.chm, AJXCSSMenu.dll, AJXCSSMenuLight.chm, AJXCSSMenuLight.dll in C:\Users\ipb-master\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\JSExtensions
Every time I thus get rid of the Ajitex files the Extension Manager seems happy and loads the only extension I currently have left (Adobe exchange). However when I reinstall the Ajitex extension, the Extension Manager behaves in the same bad manner, freezes after approximately 70 percent of the process of loading extensions. Same thing when I remove this extension and try to install another from Ajitex (Email Spam Blocker). It seems to install all right but afterward the Extension Manager freezes when launched.
Don't know what to do now.

After updating my plugins firefox 5.0.1 still hangs/freezes when loading web pages.

After making sure my plug-ins were updated, firefox 5.0.1 hangs/freezes when loading web pages.

I changed the setting, but unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem. This situation does seem to occur more, when I load or reload my eBay home page. I noticed that all data and information would go ahead and load, but the random ads bar would not immediately load and when I would left click anywhere on the page, Firefox would temporarily freeze, the page turns white, Firefox not responding will display, and then the banner would load and everything is fine. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Flash Player. Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Reggie

Safari slow and freezes when loading pages

Hi I've been having a problem with Safari for the past few months it frequently freezes when loading web pages, sometimes it will eventually load, other times it wont. the blue progress bar in the address bar stops on about 10% with a plain white page it doesn't happen all the time but disturbingly it happens on pages as simple as Google search, not just data heavy sites. other symptoms include having to click links several times to get them to respond and I get the you are not connected to the Internet page when I go to some sites only to try another page from my bookmarks and it will load perfectly.
Any help greatly appreciated its driving me nuts.

I only posted the other post because I hadnt anticipated getting such a quick responce from you , Im on a tight deadline for work and I needed to get this problem sorted a.s.a.p, I didnt think that anybody else would hop onto this discussion Anyway heres the output I get

Elements 11 Organiser freezes when loading

When loading Elements 11 the Organiser freezes, Edit loads OK. I have followed all the suggestions in the Forum and I have found that when setting up a new account, it works OK but the original account doesn't work. The Forum suggests ask the administrator, but I haven't got one. Help please.
Thanks

You mention stopping active file monitor, but you don't say anything about stopping autoanalyzer, which is far more likely to cause this than anything mentioned in your post. (organizer preferences>media analysis, shut off everything except face recognition, if you use that)
Incidentally, the chat line et al are not "ours", since this is the user to user forum and we are just other customers like you, not Adobe employees.

Firefox sometimes freezes when loading new pages

I have had an issue for several months now & any help with it would be gratefully appreciated.
Quite often, when loading a new page, Firefox will hang for up to 30 seconds; the loading circle in the left hand corner of the tab will freeze & I will be locked out of the browser. That website's usually then fine for the rest of the session, but if I close and reopen Firefox the same thing will happen again.
I have tried other browsers such a IE, and the same thing also happens there. My laptop is becoming quite claggy in general, but I'm hoping I can at least find a solution to this!

Do you get a dialog saying a script is running slowly with Stop/Continue buttons, or does the problem just clear up without any messages?
Two other thoughts:
(1) To diagnose a possible Flash issue, you can switch the Shockwave Flash plugin to "Ask to Activate." The page should load the non-Flash components first. If it's just as slow, then we can rule out Flash as a potential culprit, but if it's much faster, that would be useful to know.
You can make the change on the Add-ons page. Either:

In the left column, click Plugins. Then use the drop-down list for Shockwave Flash to select "Ask to Activate."
Sites that use Flash will generate a notification icon on the address bar, and either a link will appear in the black rectangle where you normally get videos loading automatically, or an infobar will slide down between the toolbar area and the page.
(2) About 8 months ago, a user with an enormous font collection discovered that when visiting pages that use downloadable fonts for the first time during a session, Firefox would hang for 3 minutes. ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/957111 Firefox hangs on Websites (example: g2play.net)]) I don't know whether this is still a problem, but if you have tons of fonts, as a diagnostic, you could temporarily disable downloadable fonts.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''gfx''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled''' preference to switch its value from true to false.
I say temporary because many sites now use fancy fonts to display little icons instead of using images. With downloadable fonts disabled, these icons turn into tall rectangles with two rows of two characters (in other words, useless).

IDVD08 freezes when loading media

Most of them are AVI files (Xvid and Divx) which I installed proper codec. I don't know why the program freeze when I try to load the media tab to put some movies into the DVD.

I have exactly the same problem and after try almost all possibilities including:
1 reinstalling SL
2 reinstalling ilife 09
3 delete idvd preference
Problem continues....however here it was way to solved and hope can help you.
Create a new user and test imovie, idvd and all other ilife apps and loading imovie projects. It works with a new user. That only means that one of the libraries of ilife is corrupted.
GO back to your old user account and remove all imovie projects and create a new iphoto library. It problem is solved then one of the videos on one of the libraries is corrupted. Go back to your old iphoto library first and put all videos you have on your iphoto on the trash (temp). Check it, if works only you need to do the videos one by one to the iphoto library until to find it. Same procedure with your imovie projects and events.
In my case it was a corrupted event in imovie that freeze all the apps in ilife.
Hope that helps.

FF4 freezes when loading default homepage, Google and when using search engines

Whenever I open FF4, it will freeze/hang when loading the default homepage, Google.
Same with the problem on other search engines, Yahoo!, MSN, Bing, etc.
Search engines main problem.

Do you have the McAfee Site Advisor installed? If so, remove it from your PC and try using any search engine with FF. Removing the Site Advisor worked for me, seems like FF 4 b10 isn't compatible with the Site Advisor.

FCE freezes when loading project

Hello everyone!
I have a problem when loading a final cut express project. The program freezes when its in the process of opening the file.
Here is a link to a video so you can see whats happening.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18576059/iouiou.mov
I have tried to wait for over 8 hours to see if it would eventually start but no. It´s still just the "ball of death"
Hopefully someone have a solution for this.
I use a 2011 27 Imac with 6 GB of ram and a i5 processor.
Running Lion
If you need any more info just ask!
Sincerly Henrik

The movies are .mov with H.264-MPEG4 kodec.
I think that you are right about the codec creating the problem, because only projects with this codec is freezing. I checked all my projects and those with different codecs was working fine.
I have no problem opening a new project.
Does this mean that I have to convert the movies and reedit everything or can a just convert the clips to a propper format and then reconnect them?
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely Henrik

Firefox freezes when loading some web pages then the computer locks up

Sometimes, when loading a website, the browser freezes. Then the computer locks up and I have to use the power button to turn it off. There seems to be no pattern to this problem. I'm also not sure whether or not the problem begins within Firefox, but a web page was loading every time it happened. It has only started happening this week.

I seem to be having a very similar, if not exactly the same issue. I'm using the latest production FF 11.0 release on Win7 64 and as with this not only does FF freeze, but I can't task switch, or anything. The one thing I've noticed is that when the lockup happens, it always appears to be loading some custom font from a CDN, if I breathe deeply and slowly and allow the request to complete everything seems to eventually unfreeze and I can continue, so maybe something to do with implementation of custom font loading?

Safari freezes when loading webpages, rainbow wheel

When loading some webpages, especially blogs with pictures from blogspot.com, safari freezes about 75% into loading the page. The rainbow wheel appears and spins indefinitely and does not stop until I force quit the program. This happens on Firefox, too. The problem occurs nearly every time I try loading these webpages.
This problem began once I installed Leopard.

Nevermind, I figured it out.
Some flash files were corrupted, so I updated those and repaired permissions.

Firefox freezes when loading

Since nobody is looking at the [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/772825?s=cache&as=s&page=1 old post], I will repost it here and hope that someone will have solution for me.
I tried many things with newest versions with Firefox UX, Aurora and 6 and yet it freezes all the time when loading any page.

Does the problem occurs when you are using Firefox in Safe Mode ??

ITunes freezes when loading new songs to iPod

I have a 60 gig video iPod. I am running the latest version of iTunes with a library of 21886 songs (73 days).
Recently, iTunes has been unable to load new songs to the iPod. It simply freezes while loading the new songs.
I tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes, but this didn't resolve the problem. (The uninstall was performed using the iTunes software, so it continued to recognize the previously existing music library upon reinstall).
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to fix the problem?
