Windows 7 Freezes Almost Instantly after start up.

I just installed windows 7 and the drivers, after my most recent restart, I can't make it more than about 15 seconds into the windows launch without it freezing. I get to the desktop screen but thats it. I have no time to do anything else. Anyone havea solution?

You might also want to create a Windows 7 Repair Disk for hopefully now or definitely for the future. It's a great tool to automatically fix Win7 startup problems. I've used it many, many times during my Windows 7 boot camp experiences. This DVD is *not* an install DVD (i.e. you can't install/reinstall Win7 with it), it just has some very good startup diagnostics and fixes. Microsoft did good making this product
Since you can't boot into Windows, you can find the repair image on the web to burn to a DVD, or make it from another Win7 machine.. That's the normal way to make the repair disk, but for some reason it doesn't always work (it didn't for me).

My MacBook Pro 15" i7 2011 freezes suddenly minutes after starting up.

My MacBook Pro 15" i7 2011 freezes suddenly minutes after starting up the computer.
Sometimes it beeps after freezing, and keeps beeping forever until I shut down the computer by pressing the power button.
Other times the screen gets a little darker and a text appears saying I need to turn off the computer by pressing the power button and restart, but after restarting the computer freezes again. Each time I turn it on it takes only a few minutes to freeze it seams, about 2-3 minutes or less, and occasionaly it doesn´t even start up.
I don´t recall the exact version of the operating system, its MacOSX (10.6 or something)
Any sollutions?

Three beeps is usually indicative of a RAM problem. Take out one RAM chip and see what happens and then swap with the other one. See if there is a difference. Also engage the Apple hardware test and see if that offers any useful information.
Ciao.

And what exact version of Windows are you using? I mean, Windows 7 needs to be updated to Service Pack 1, for example.

Freezing of keychain after start

Hi, two weeks ago I bought a new mac book pro 13", I bought it for my work, but mainly for my school. I need an internet, but in our school we have a network, wich needs some certificate. I downloaded this certificate from school sites. It was a cert. for previous version of OS X, 10.6. I tried to install it by double-click but after that, the keychain frozen and since that time, every time when I want to start the keychain, it freeze. Is there any possibility how can I reset the keychain? Thnak you for your help.

sometimes a font error appears which shows that a font helr66w.ttf is clashing with system font but i am unable to find that font in system through search option.
Download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "hel466w.ttf" in the file name. When you find it the file can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop to uninstall.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.
There could be one or more damaged preference files in your Home/Library/Preferences folder that are involved. If other means fail post back and I have a method to determine if that's the case or not that I can post.

Windows Freezes 5 seconds after startup about 70% of the time

To start, I formatted my machine, installed Leopard, ran Boot Camp to set up a Windows partition, used a SP2 Windows XP CD, and started the Boot Camp process fine. Everything was good the first couple of days. Then however I very frequently found that when I start up windows, occassionally the mouse and keyboard would cease to be responsive and I'd be forced to hold the power button to reboot. I've noticed this happens at exactly the same time the brightness goes down 1 level so my best guess is whatever Boot Camp process is being started up is what's causing this.
Typically what happens is I'm in OSX, I click the Reboot option, hold down the Option key when I see the gray screen, then select Windows. Once I get a mouse cursor, I start moving it in circles and wait about 5 seconds after the desktop has loaded. If the mouse freezes, I reboot and try again. If it doesn't, I figure I'm good to go and continue using my machine.
Sometimes also around the same time instead of freezing it just immediately reboots the machine.
This problem is occuring way more than half of the time. Luckily it's only at startup and if I just keep trying until it works, then I can continue to use Windows without any problems.
I own a full version of Parallels and this problem has never occured when I start up my Boot Camp partition with that. I feel like that gives a reasonable amount of confidence to the difference in the Boot Camp service/drivers.
What can I do?

* Here is how I partially solve this annoying problem:
In activity monitor, one can clearly saw that Paralells 3 is jumping from one core to another (why is so, I do not know - perhaps they wanted to make similar thermal load on both cores).
Confirmation in syslog: an 19 07:06:29 aeroflot kernel[0]: [Parallels] IPI stat: rescheduled 1 cpus out of 2.
Removing vmmain.kext from kernel does not solving anything because Paralells requires this kext to be loaded in order to work!
1. Disable one core if you have dual CPU. This will resolve "core jumping" problem. The system will work with reduced performance, but since Paralells is still unable to use multiple cores, it might be less painful.
2. Try to avoid automatic loading of vmmain.kext during system startup when you boot both cores, or better, you can load vmmain manually when you want to work with Parallels 3.

Why does iMovie freeze almost immediately after opening the program?

Hi there!
iMovie '09 was running fine a few days ago until who knows what happened. Suddenly, each time I open iMovie I immediately cannot open anything when I click on things - ex. Project Library/the scroll icon/etc. The project I'm working on is still in iMovie, and I can see it play in the preview screen on the right hand side. The problem is, I can't see any of the clips I have on the left. They seem to be invisible, but when I pan over the editing area (left hand side) I can see the clips playing in the preview screen. I literally have no idea what happened. I can't edit anything and I can't seem to fix the problem. I can't access anything - can't edit, can't scroll to find the video I want.
So far I have done these things to try and fix the problem:
+Deleted the iMovie and iPhoto preference files: Library > Preferences > com.apple.imovie.plist
+Reboot my computer and reloaded iPhoto and iMovie
+Gone into Disk Utility and ran the Repair Disk Permissions
+Done force quit so many times
+Tried running iMovie without any others apps open
I'm hoping someone out there has a few tricks up their sleeve to help with this problem. Additionally, I've seemed to have run into the problem of not being able to play any of the cutaways I have in the video except for the FIRST one. When the video plays and pans over the next cutaway, the video freezes until the cutaway ends and proceeds to play the rest of the video.
So, anyone out there know how to help a gal out??
Thanks!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Notebook freezes few seconds after start. Overheat? New video cable?

Hello and thanks for your attention.
HP Pavillion DV5-1235e
Windows Vista
4 years old.
I wanted to clean the fan on my laptop since it is 4 years old now. So I had to take apart everything and took it back together. I did remove the old thermal paste and putted some new. Except that I didn't change anything. And I also canged the video cable for a new one.
My first attepmt to start didn't end well. I pressed the power button my notebook started but the sreen didn't start and from there on he didn't even boot. (the HDD led didn't blink ) So i found a solution for that. pulled out the power suply, pressed the power button for 30-60 sec. Puted the power back and viola! It worked. But I didn't even open a web browser and the laptop freezed. So i pressed the power button for 3 sec and the laptop turned off. Turned it back on I had the same problem as in the first attemp. So had to pull out power suply, press power button , put power suply back on and it worked again but i didn't have time to open speedfan to see the temp so I don't know what happend actualy. The fan is rotating. the thermo paste is new. everything should work fine.
edit: I managed to start speedfan. The temperatures were low. The lowest I have ever seen them. But he still freezed
edit2: In safe mode. it works longer but freezes(does freeze and the monitor turns off)
Thank you who made it to this point.
Looking forward the anwsers.

Hello AmlnnN,
I understand have you finished doing a little maintenance   work on the computer it now freezes periodically is that correct? I will do all I can to help you resolve this issue.
First thing lets run a couple test on some of your hardware.
See steps below:
1.       I want you to boot into the bios menu this link will show you how.
2.       Once in bios go over to the diagnostic option at the top.(Note you will need to use the arrow keys to navigate)
3.       You may see 2 test there if that is the case run both test.
4.       It may take some time so please have the ac adapter plugged in.
5.       Once the test finished press F9 to setup defaults and then press F10 to save and exit.
Also find out while you’re in the bios if the computer ever freezes there.
Pleas respond back with your results at your earliest convenience.
Thank You

Mac Pro freezes few minutes after starting download of additional content

Hello everyone!
So... I've downloaded Logic Pro X from the App Store today. Install and download of basic content went smoothly, but problem occured when I started download of additional content. Few minutes after download had been started, whole computer would just freeze, and I would have to shut it down by holding the power button. I tried downloading just small packs of content but it didn't help every time, in 80% cases it would freeze again.
Logic was never installed on this machine earlier, at least not after clean Mavericks install few weeks ago.
What could be the cause to this problem, and can any of you help me?
Thanks in advance.

Leopard 10.5.3 freezes Photoshop CS2 after start up

I open up ANY file into photoshop to work on and I get about 20 seconds of doing stuff and then it just freezes up. I can move onto other applications and have to force quit photo shop . . . I have tried just opening photo shop and leaving it open for a few seconds and then the same thing happens. ONLY SINCE UPDATING TO 10.5.3 - Can any help? does anyone have the same problem and if so will it be fixed or shall I just trash my mac after using them for 12 years!!! ; ). PLEASE don't tell me that I have to update to CS3 as that's just criminal and defunnking a product so soon after it's release - getting very microsoft . . .

Adobe's the one who decides what to upgrade for Leopard compatibility. Not Apple. CS3 is barely Leopard compatible as is, though a recent update appears to fix those issues at least for 10.5.0, as the most recent is rated for 10.5.0 only, saying nothing about 10.5.3. CS2 Adobe has clearly indicated on their website is not Leopard tested:
http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf
CS3 has been out since April 16, 2007. You call a software that has been out for more than a year "so soon"? Complain to Adobe.

My macbook pro 2011 model keeps freezing 30 seconds after start up

what happend is i tried to install Dreamweaver this installed succesfully and then when i started up the program it began to freeze so i force quit everthing and then it began to freeze so i hold the power button and it turn off and i restarted it then it said that "your computer turned of last time because of a problem do you want to open the programs that were open" click open. then i clicked cancel and it started i click google chrome and it froze completely i waited 2 hours and it was still frozen so i restarted and

Try booting into Safe mode (holding down the option key whilst booting). Your machine may run more slowly than usual, but at least it will let us know if you've a faulty kernel extension causing the problem.

P.S. Which version of Dreamweaver? The CS6 or CC version?

Firefox for android freezes immetiately after start since update to Android 4.2.2

Firefox for android freezes/crashes immediately after start since the automatic update to Android 4.2.2 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus; sometimes it reports a crash without being started. Language is German; I've send several automatic crash reports; all available updates are installed. Other apps (google+, skype, TrustGo, Polaris Office 4 ...) started to crash as well after this android update. Please help or update Firefox.

hello emuller, you might have to clear the data & cache of the affected applications for them to work correctly on the new os version (this will reset firefox to the state after a fresh install).

Mail OS X 10.5.8 iMac crashes after starting

Hello,
My mail crashes almost immediately after starting, folder are lost but mails in inbox are available. Mail locks as soon as I start to use it, have to force a shut down. What bothers me is that mail has performed well a long time running on 10.8.5 and suddenly it collapsed.
In terms of troubleshooting I've done the following so far:
1. Created a new user and configured my mail account <mail operates again>
2. Run the computer in safe mode using default user <mail chrashes>
Comments and advice much appreciated.

Might be corrupted Mail preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following;
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plis t
Click Go then move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac then try Mail.
I'm having issues with the forum software.
In the path above, it's .plist not .plis t
Sorry for the glitch.
