System Freeze After Install WeatherDock

I downloaded WeatherDock (free utility to show current weather on your desktop) and checked off for it to start at startup. Worked ok for a day but "something" is causing my system to freeze all of a sudden and I think it's that. However, I can't uninstall it because when I reboot and after the system comes back, the WeatherDock application starts and the system freezes again !!
Anyway to get in there and remove that from the startup OR remove the application entirely ?
Any help would be appreciated..

T H A N K Y O U, V K !!!!!!
That worked !! I was able to delete the application that way and rebooted back to normal ...
Whewwwwwwwwwwwww..
Much appreciated....

SB Live 24Bit External: Reproducible System Freeze after installing Windows Upda

I have a SB Li've! 24Bit External and am quite content with it. However, my Windows Update has recently installed the following updates:
- Cumulati've Security Update for IE, KB9282
- Cumulati've Security update for OE, KB9567
- Tool for Spyware Removal, KB890830
- Security Update for Windows XP, KB90853
- Security Update for Windows XP, KB9562
I suspect one of the last two ones to be at fault. Afterwards, my computer froze completely on the Windows startup screen whenever the SB came up. I could verify that it was the SB by removing the USB cable (which solved the issue) and plugging in again later to the running system (which brough the freeze again).
A was able to get a running system again by using the System Recovery, but I'd *really* like to install those updates (. to be a little more safe and 2. because the Windows Update nagging me about those updates is really annoying).

This has got to be the craziest IRQ table that I have ever seen. Windows will not let me change any of the settings. It doesn't seem kocher, and I am pretty knowlegible from other systems I have set up, but not this one. I have been keeping a few charts to see if anything changes, and these have changed since this morning, though nothing else has been installed. I know they shouldn't share as they do, but it won't let me have control over these. Am I am doing something drastically wrong. On USB is Epson 760, Logi cordless opticle mouse, and MS Internet KB with combo PS2 / USB 2 port hub. I have the mouse plugged into KB. HERE GOES:
IRQ 0 : Sys timer
IRQ 1 : Keyboard
IRQ 2 : Prog Interupt Controller
IRQ 3 : Com 2 (yet I have disabled in bios)
IRQ 4 : ACPI IRQ HOLDER FOR PCI IRQ STEERING
IRQ 4 : STD OPEN HCI USB HOST CONTROLLER

System freezes after installation of version 11.5.502.149

WindowsXp, Firefox, Flash player 11.5.502.149 - I have made 2 attempts to load latest version; both times when I have restarted my system Windows will only load to Wallpaper and then stops- I waited for atleast 30 minutes - no program icons, no taskbar etc, Have used safe mode to uninstall flash player, did registry fix, have used system restore, still will not load. Did chkdsk - no apparent disk problems - but then after attempting to restart several times after long wait finally loaded. System will now restart, but as this happened after installation of flash player 2x I am unwilling to retry. - and now can not reload older version of flashplayer. - have recently installed other program updates and have not had system freeze so do not think it is a general installation problem. Any ideas?
Thanks

Pat
Trying to install an older version I got a message something to the effect that a newer version is available and program does not install. By hunting around the support areas on Adobe I did find a page that noted that if for some reason the new version did not work an older version was archived and a link.. so I did find an older version that would load.. of course I had to find a Zip program to unzip the file and it did try the same message ... there were 2 unzipped versions - only one worked but I do now have a working version albeit of Flash Player.
I googled for WindowsXp freezing and found a number of bulletin boards/forums that discussed solutions - which were pretty much what I did. Typically it happened after installing a new or updated program. No reasons were mentioned as to why or what was happening and the solutions of starting in safe mode, uninstalling, restoring, chkdsk are all sort of hit and miss... if one doesn't work try another... with the final solution being reload windows.. of course my version came installed and I don't have a backup disk so I imagine that would be another day or two of total frustration... so I guess I will avoid trying to update the flash player as long as possible. I have my system set up to only allow updates I have confirmed.
Thanks for your prompt response.

T400 downgraded from Vista to XP resulting in system freeze after 10 min activity

Hi,
I just purchased a T400 and have gone through the process of (re)grading the OS from Vista Business to XP. From the moment the setup dialogue for XP started (machine name, date, users etc), the whole systems freezes after working the machine for around 10-15 min. First, I suspected it to be a mouse freeze, but I get no reponse from neither the keyboard nor mouse (not sure if it is a complete system freeze or to do with mouse/keyboard drivers). Even the clock in the bottom right corner stops running.
To get the system going I need to force the system to reboot using the power on/off button.
The XP restore disc I used came from Lenovo with the computer, and I have followed the instructions by point. Do any of you recognize this problem? And more importantly, know how to deal with it

Hi,
I posted a message on the forum 5 days ago, and got no replies. I agree the problem description might be a bit vague, so here we go again:
I recently purchased a T400 (model 2765, 21g) with the XP downgrade option (the MS Windows XP Conversion Kit containing 2 CD's: Lenovo's Rescue & Recovery plate + XP product recovery plate with SP2). During the installation of XP (the end part where you set up your user) the computer freezes (no response from keyboard). I power the machine off and on again, and the installation continues as it were. I finish the installation and the computer is set. After additional 10 min the computer freezes again in the same style.
I imagine it to be a powermanagement disagreement between MS system and Lenovos powermanagement system, and set every parameter to be always ON and full performance ( I am running on AC). This time the freeze doesn't happen for an hour. I then begin to reinstall the powermanagement drivers and the general drivers for this particular model running XP (from Lenovos drivers Matrix), and now I am looking at two hour before each freeze. That is if I don't plug in any external hard drives (then the system can crash within 15 min or an hour), and we turn a blind eye to the occational freeze after 10 min on the first boot of the day .
At some point I suspected there to be a conflict with the existing SATA drivers that I also have reinstalled for the occation. Still the system is NOT stable.
And the frustrating thing is that I have no clue why. The sympthom is always the same, complete screen freeze ( I do not know if the system is active behind (no hard drive running)), that can only be cured with a forced boot.
If any of you reconize this, please assist me to a solution. I have by now installed all programs to my liking including all MS updates (SP3 etc), and hope there is a way to get to the core without a complete reinstall (or worse, return to the realm of Vista)

Windows 7 freezes after installing Audigy 2

Hi
I cannot install my Audigy 2 soundcard with Windows 7.
It is a clean install of windows 7 64 bit on a new HDD. However, after installation and driver file updates after I reboot, Windows 7 just freezes.
?I have tried different drivers but the same problem arises. I have tried to load? SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_00 as well as SBAX_PCDRVBETA2 US_2_8_00, along with the automatic updates Windows 7. Any help to rectify this situation would be?greatly appreciated.
Many thanks?

Re: Windows 7 freezes after installing Audigy 2?
Thanks for your response Freddie. I just do not know how people can expect companies to keep upgrading and writing software for hardware that is YEARS old. Years old.......People (not you) clamor for Windows 7 drivers for devices made for XP, and my god, that operating system came out a long long time ago. Moving on is not just an alternati've, it is a necessity. I would never be using a Gravis sound card from 995 7 or 8 (which sounded really good back then) on Windows 7 and be frustrated as to why Gravis does not have a full suite of Windows 7 drivers. It would be nice, but it is not feasible or reasonable to expect. Creative would literally spend all of their profits writing drivers and applications for stuff that is no longer sold or worth supporting. Microsoft has even changed the sound model of Windows from scratch which means drivers have to be rewritten from the ground up, not just "slightly modified".
I bought an HP scanner for Windows 98. Great scanner. Loved it. Windows Millenium came out, and that scanner never never worked. Not their fault really, the box it came in said, "Made for Windows 98, 98SE" not "just might be compatible for Windows ME, and whatever else Microsoft may invent."? Well what happened? HP wrote drivers and applications for that scanner for Windows ME and 2000, and that disc cost me $40........Seriously? Yes. Did I buy it? Yes.... I am astonished they are writing drivers for the Audigy's now. But I do hope you find a Windows 7 sound card, and if so, I am curious if you like it. I use my X-Fi Titanium for ) games and 2) movies. and 3) music. It works well, but I had to research which boards it works with.
Currently Asus is quite the competitor these days, and I see they have Windows 7 drivers out. A few months ago, those drivers wreaked havoc and a lot of people's systems.

Help! Lightroom freezes after installing.

I get this message after trying to create or open a catalog: "An error occured when attemting to change modules." Then Lightroom freezes.
I work on a Mac and have formatted and reinstalled my systemdisk with a qlean install. I had Lightroom installed and have used it for some years. But when installing the programs again I went for the Creative Cloud solution. When I tried to open my previous catalog I got this error message. And after several deinstallings and reinstallings I still get the same message and Lightroom freezes.
Anyone who can help?

Hi Ian.
Thank you for answering. But I find no such file in Preferences. I think Lightroom freezes before making the preference file. Other solutions?
Best wishes,

[SOLVED] System freeze after upgrade linux-3.12.9-2 to linux-3.13.4-1

After upgrading from kernel 3.12.9 to 3.13.4 (booth x86_64 architecture) i detected system freeze after round about 0.5s of the login screen about 80% of the time.
So i first thought it coulbe be the the ati driver and uninstalled that via livecd/chroot.
But the same thing happens in comand line only mode.
Afterwards i setup at ssh server to get into the maschine if it is still running, but is was also not responding to that.
Downgrading to 3.12.9 solved the issue. In journalctl i could not find any usefull information.

[solved] makepkg freeze after installing dependencies

If I try to create a package from the AUR
makepkg -sfi package-name
seems to freeze after installing the dependencies. It just stops after installing the last dependency and freezes with 65% CPU-Usage.
If I quit makepkg after freeze and run it again, building the package works so the dependencies get correctly installed.
Note to AUR-Helpers:
Yaourt -> works
Packer -> works
pacaur -> doesn't work
Any Idea what could cause this Problem and how to fix it?
Last edited by mak42 (2014-09-05 20:45:42)

Soooo I've found the guilty after digging through the source of "makepkg"
source /etc/profile &>/dev/null
causes the problem, if I run this command it freezes, Ctrl+C will kill the whole terminal.
So now I know the source of the Problem, still trying to figure out why this happens...
EDIT: Found it I'm using tdm as login-manager, to start it I've put a script into /etc/profile.d/ and this Script gave back an Error "Invalid TTY".
If you source /etc/profile it can't complete due to this Error.
So it was completely my fault
Thank's for your help, now I have to find another way of starting TDM
EDIT2:
just put /usr/bin/tdm into ~/.bash_profile and tdm works fine.
Actually this is already in the wiki, don't know why I didn't do that in the first place

Stuck at Optimizing System Performance after installing Security Patch

24" iMac seems to be stuck at "Optimizing System Performance" after installing the latest Security Update. Software Update won't quit. Nervous to force the computer to shutdown during that process. It's working fine at the moment other than that the Software Update box won't go away.
What do you think?

Well kind of answered my own question. Tried to run Activity Monitor which only started halfway and then crashed. I remembered the whole computer is backed up to an external drive everyday so I figured if it won't start at least I can start up from the external drive.
Forced the shutdown by holding the power button. Started up w/o a hiccup; ran Repair Permissions which checked out and the Verify the Disk with First Aid which also checked out fine.
So I guess it's ok though I may unplug that external for a day or two.

System freezed after "startx"

Hello,
after updating with "pacman -Syu" my system freezes after boot-process at the loginscreen.
To be more exact: When X starts, all my input-devices doesn't react anymore. Even new plugged-in keyboards doesn't do something.
Numlock doesn't change lights on my keyboard.
As far as i know pacman shows me while updating a message about udev.
Pacman has updated udev, kernel26 and some other packages.
In GRUB I've appended "single" to get a terminal after booting and before X starts.
I've tried to reset X by replacing xorg.conf with xorg.conf.backup, but no effect.
Everytime I enter "startx" in the terminal, I can see some white textboxes, but can't move my mouse or enter anything with my keyboard.
Hardreset is the only thing, that helps.
So anybody know what to do in this situation or has any tips for me?
I would appreciate it if somebody can help me... thanks in advance!

Yes, I have a .xinitrc in my $HOME.
I've tried several things and found out, that not X is the problem alone.
It's more the udev update, which doesn't recognize my hardware anymore.
When I type in startx in tty, X now starts with my KDE, where I could see, that stuff is loading (so it's not freezed).
But KDE alerts me, that some audio hardware were removed and even in tty i couldn't mount my usb harddrive or start my notebook-wlan.
So I came to the conclusion, that only my hardware were not recognized..
Is there a way to get udev recognize my hardware again? I've even downgraded udev and kernel26 to versions, which worked properly..., but that doesn't help.
hope you can help.. =/

Safari, Quicken Essentials, other apps freezing after installing Maveric

Okay, I installed OS X 10.9 when it first came out. Then started having issues with apps freezing, like Safari, Quicken Essentials and other apps.   I noticed this only after installing Maverick.   The only time the freeze would go away, would be after re-starting.    Then, it seemed the app would freeze again ONLY after I have been away from the computer for a while (maybe screen saver mode causes this issue?).   After not being able to figure it out, I un-installed Maverick and went back with TimeMachine and stayed away from Maverick thinking the issue would get fixed and letting bugs go by. I just re-installed Maverick a few days ago and the issue is still there. So, before I un-intsall again, I figured I would check here for any fix or if anyone else was having the same issue.
Example would be, as soon as you try to open the app, it immediately freezes and you get the round twirling circle that goes on indefintely.    The only time it will work, is after you re-start and then you can open it up. If I leave the computer un-attended for a few hours and then come back, freezing happens again.   Not all apps act this way. FireFox seems to have no issues.
Anyone else having this issue and if so, have you found a resolution?

... Do you recommend something else that would take it's place?   Like a free program, since I paid something for CleanMyMac2.
No. Using CleanMyMac2 can result in deleting required system components that must not be deleted, and cannot be deleted using normal means. Reports of misery resulting from using it or similar "cleaning" utilities are common on this site. You should demand your money back.
OS X maintains itself very well. Periodic "cleaning" is not required and can only result in degraded performance at best; a corrupted and useless Mac at worst. The perceived need for aftermarket utilities is probably attributable to many new Mac users who became inured to them after years of using Windows PCs.
Though Norton / Symantec's garbage has a different purpose, it is capable of doing nothing beneficial will also cause the same results.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

OS "freezing" after installing 10.5.3

After installing the 10.5.3 update, my computer (MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz core2 duo) now "freezes" - screen locks, cannot perform any action, have to restart - and I am at a loss as to what to do. It isn't any specific application that I can pin down, it seems to just happen randomly.
It happens more often when it has less RAM than usual (I have 3GB, when drops below 1.5 left) but I cannot say that this is the reason at all, just a hunch.
The computer is not more than 1yr5mo old, so not sure what to do.
I have considered restoring from TimeMachine [~5 days ago] as a full system restore, but don't want to go that route unless it's absolutely necessary. Has anyone had this issue, in any capacity?
Thanks!

I am having a similar issue with our iMac 08 at work after installing 10.5.3. No matter what I have tried. I cannot get it to startup. I keep getting the greyed out screen that says you need to restart. I have repaired permissions, reset PRAM several times... and restarted. Still the greyed out screen appears. I know all the files are there as I have gone in using FireWire Target Disk mode. Does anyone know of anyway to fix this without reinstalling Leopard?

System freeze after prolonged Flash usage

Hello,
I stumbled across this thread as i am having exactly the same problems as Fossil, although he has been quiet so i guess disabling hardware acceleration worked for him. However this is not working for me, I have sent two graphics cards back on the strength of this issue and im still getting it on my third card! Firstly my system:
Intel Core I7-3930K 3.20GHz Socket 2011 12MB Cache
32GB RAM Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 2000MHz XMS3 Memory Kit CL9 1.65V
Asus P9X79 PRO S2011 Intel X79 DDR3 ATX Motherboard
Corsair 120GB SSD
Samsung Synch Master MD230x3 Monitors
Windows 7 Pro (64bit)
Now because im using eyefinity monitors i bought this card:
PowerColor HD 6870 2GB GDDR5
First one failed instantly when i played any sort of flash video, on advice from retailer i sent it back (they said it was a known issue with some AMD 6870 cards, Second one came back and was slightly better which was odd but the same problem, i formatted the drive and started from scratch only installing the latest drivers from Powercolor rather than using the supplied disk and then upgrading.
After opening multiple websites using flash such as you tube, bbc news videos etc system just freezes forcing a reboot. I used core temp plus the video card supplied performance monitor, i saw no increase in system temps, fan speeds or power being supplied. Supplier would only refund my money as the card went out of stock which is a pain because this is one of the few that support 6 monitors via mini dp port at a reasonable price So I ordered the following card:
PowerColor HD 7870 PCS+ 2GB GDDR5
Only supports 4 monitors but as my board is pci 3.0 i thought i would try a card that supports it to see if this solves the problem.
Well it didn’t! After about an hour of usage with flash websites i get a system freeze. If i uninstall flash, i dont get any problems at all.
Adobe, i need some help here guys because this is not normal and if there is a problem with the latest hardware architectures then I need a fix.
Regards

Yeah i was not sure about creating a new thread as the original problem had not been solved but thanks for the update Fossil, glad you got it working on an older version however i dont think thats a satisfactory solution from Adobe, we cant all stay on older versions of flash as some websites will not funtion without the latest player.
Chris,
Thanks for your prompt response
I am following your advice and yes i have done just about everything apart from the bug report thing and this interesting step:
In addition to updating your video drivers and disabling Flash Player hardware acceleration, please try the following steps:
Windows:
Close all browsers
Open an explorer window
Navigate to the following folders and delete the contents
%appdata%\adobe\Flash Player\
%appdata%\macromedia\
Finally, restart your browser and try again
I have no idea why that step should have any impact on this issue, however I have been running flash websites with HA turned off (this is one of the first things i tried on the previous graphics cards and i still experience the failure) for about an hour now (10 open at the same time + 3 or 4 flash youtube videos playing) and all looks good so far.
Note, i had performed some archiving last night which caused high disk i/o + cpu usage over a period of about 14 hours and i did not experience a system crash.
I will update you later today or as soon as i experience the failure.
Regards
Regan

System crashes after installing iTunes 9.2

Hi,
After installing iTunes 9.2, I recieve random system freezes when using iTunes.
The complete system freezes, I need to perform a hard reset to use my computer again.
Here are some relevant pieces of my Console:

These are the only iTunes-related errors I could find...
Many Thanks,
Yvan Janssens (this is not my Mac)

I'm running OSX 10.6.4 on MacBook Pro (a couple of years old) ... and my (original) iPhone is recognized just fine by the new iTunes 9. I too am anxiously awaiting arrival of my iPhone 4 ... and got the same kind of shipment information as other folks described on the iPad; i.e. being shipped direct from China via Hong Kong. I sure hope they've got the bugs worked out of that process since the iPad 3G fiasco. I was also amused (NOT!) by "additional information" in the shipping-email I got from Apple. Basically it says that if there is a delay in activating the phone via iTunes, "trust us" that Apple and AT&T will be working to get it activated as quickly as possible and will send out an email when it is activated --- in other words "don't call us, we'll call you".
David Brooks during his commentary last night on The News Hour made some comments about how business processes are really starting to break down in this country. I couldn't agree more. Last Thursday's mess was inexcusable! You'd think that the huge (and incredibly profitable) corporations like (BP), Apple, and AT&T would spend as much time and effort and money to get their processes in as good a shape as their products! Urrrrrr! Let's hope that the iPhone enrollment process goes better.

Maybe the disk goes to sleep too often; this is bad even for your hdd life.
Do you set hdparm at boot or maybe a Power managment script does that?
Remember that hdparm settings are lost on hibernation/suspend, so you need to rerun it when the pc wakes up.
Anyway,at wakeup, try to run
sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda
To disable power managment.
It works like a charm! Thanks for your reply. This question really drove me crazy for long time. It really caused by wrong setting of APM.From your reply then I follow the instruction of hdparm wiki and make it automated.
