Windows 8.1 freezes when I am sending messages to Xbox Live friends

When I spend an X amount of time in messages, specifically sending messages to Xbox Live friends, my mouse moves slowly. When that happens my PC crawls to a halt and I cannot exit the app nor can I go back to Desktop.
Any solutions?

Hi,
A slow system reaction normally because of over use of system memory and high usage of CPU, to confirm this, open the taks manager in this way:
1.type “task manager” at the search box, open task manager, then click “performance” tag to check the memory and CPU usage by right clicking at the application, then stop this one.
2.if the usage stands on a high percentage, go to the details tag to stop the applications that cost high resources.
Besides, I suggest to go to the Xbox site to check the minimum requirement:
Download speed: 3 megabits per second
Upload speed: 0.5 megabits per second
Ping speed:Less than 150 milliseconds
And other requirements you can find it here to check the details for Xbox:

IPhone 5s freezing when trying to send photos

After I select a picture from camera roll and a contact to send it to, the phone freezes and the message disappears taking me back to the home screen.
This only happens when trying to send pictures from photo app. When sending by starting from messages, it works just fine.

Found it... i did not have the window fully expanded and when I did.. there were the options. I quickly deleted and added my sympatico account and even though I have the BCC ticked, the emails are not showing up in my email inbox. I have to manually enter my email address in the cc box of the email. thanks for your time.

Windows CS3 Programs Freeze When Opening Files

Windows CS3, all programs freeze when trying to open files by going through the file menu.
Able to open files when navigating with windows explorer then right clicking on file and choosing "open with"
Windows XP Professional SP3, 4 Gb Ram Quad Core Processor.
Have uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 (Design Premium)
Have deleted photoshop settings file and tried using photoshop.
Any time I try to open a new file or existing file by going through the file menu the program freezes and must be terminated using the task manager.

Erika,
I wish you had posted that last night. LOL I'm glad it worked for you and I will tell anyone who has this problem to try that before they try my fix. I was starting to have other problems like inDesign corrupting images.
Here's how I fixed it,
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK HAVING TO REFORMAT YOUR PC.
1. Backup entire pc
2. Deactivate Creative Suite 3 (or whatever application you are having a problem with)
3. Uninstall problem application or suite, then uninstall everything by adobe.
4. Search PC for all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
5. Delete all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
6. Restart PC
7. Run ccleaner and also run the registry fix.
8. Restart PC.
9. Backup registry.
10. Scan registry for "adobe", no quotes. Delete every instance of "adobe", no quotes making sure the reference is truly "adobe" and not something else.
11. Restart PC.
12. Install adobe suite or application.
13. Install any other adobe application you may need.
Worked for me, but
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK HAVING TO REFORMAT YOUR PC.

Mail freezes when displaying or deleting messages from Linked In

Recently when I open the Mail program the computer freezes up with the spinning pinwheel. It will freeze for a few minutes and then usually come back to life. I've noticed that if any email from Linked In is selected, or deleted, or opened then I am certain to get the freeze. Usually when I try to delete a Linked In email there will be an error message that the email could not be deleted after the Mac wakes up from the freeze. Any ideas?

I cleared the Console log file. Launched Mail. Selected two emails that I expected to cause trouble (from Linked In). Deleted them. The spinning pinwheel came up. After a couple of minutes Mail started responding, but I didn't see anything happen in the log file. I selected another email and deleted it. The spinning pinwheel came up again. After a while I got an error message about deleting the first two files (unable to delete) and there was activity in the log file. Over the next few minutes I continued to get episodes of spinning pinwheel and period activity in the log file. Here is the file:

Mail freezes when I select a message

When I open Mail, it goes ok, picks mail and everything. But when I select a message, Mail freezes and I have to force it (sorry for that bad English) to quit the program. It was ok this morning...

Hi,
I got a similar issue. Removing manually the mail that brings the freeze solved the problem! (On my own, I had only one strange mail that freeze the app). Actually, it was a gmail message containing a .mov video which was too light to be one... (some Kb). :-/
Try with the finder to go into hd/your_user/library/mail/Account/to/the/mail and delete the message which brings the trouble.
Hope this helps.

WRT54GS - No Internet when plugged in, but I get Xbox LIVE...

I have Verizon DSL for Internet, and when I switch the Ethernet cable over to the Router, I have no Internet on my computer, but I have Xbox LIVE...?
I'm lost; how do I fix this?

First check the IP when directly connected to the DSL modem in case if its 192.168.1.1 then connect only the computer to the router without the modem connected then change the lan ip of the router to 192.168.2.1 and the power cycle the network i.e. turn off power to modem and router, connect the modem - router - computer, power up the modem wait for the light, followed by the router. This should work. Also make sure that you computer is not set to static IP address.
Start-control panel - network connection - right click local area connection and select properties - tcp/ip properties - It should be set to obtain IP automatically.

Windows 7 Crashes/Freezes when playing ANY Video files

lets see can anyone get their head around this one as it is driving me round the bend.
So... I have a media centre PC connected to my HDTV by VGA cable. I ran the PC on XP for a long time but last December, I upgraded it to Windows 7
along with my laptop.
Cue 5 months of seamless media usage and network integration - it
worked like a dream and I played both HD and SD content with ease.
About two weeks ago, I was watching an HD '.mkv' file in Windows Media Centre and about 10 minutes into the video, the video file just Froze - both the video and the audio. I had to power down and restart the machine and started the video file again. About
5 minutes after re-starting the video file, it hung again (not at the same place in the video). I then went and watched the video on my laptop where
it worked fine.
A few days after this (first time I had used it again since it hung up) I began watching an SD '.avi' file. About 1 minute into the video the display lost it's signal (the little built in 'no signal' graphic came up) and after a further 15 seconds, the audio
cut out as well.
This latter behaviour is now happening every single time I try to watch any kind of SD or HD video of any file extention. This problem is also independant of what video player I use (windows media centre and windows media player classic) After a minute or so
the display cuts out and the audio quickly follows it.
Suffice to say, I was a little annoyed but knowing a good bit about computers I
decided to try and solve the problem taking the following steps.
1) I uninstalled all my codecs and reinstalled the latest version of the K-Lite Codec pack. The latest version has support for windows 7 so I doubt its a compatibility issue here. After doing this the problem still persisted, exactly the same as before.
2) I checked the date of the drivers for my video card (MSI nVidia 6200) and seen that they were dated sept 2009. I went onto the nVidia site and found the latest win7 drivers dated april 2010 - I installed these but still the problem is there.
3) I then thought, maybe its a problem with the actual video card hardware itself. When I built my machine the parts supplier accidentally
sent me two of the same video card so I swapped out the existing one for a brand spanking new version of the same card. The problem is still EXACTLY the same.
So yes -I am rather annoyed and frustrated at the moment as I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with the machine and how it went from working to not working almost overnight.
I'd like to add also that the display is perfect when doing anything else on the computer - I can surf, play youtube videos, listen to music etc and it is absolutely no problem.
Put on a video and it cuts out the display like I have explained.
halp.

Hello Tim,
I decided to do a clean install, a fresh new installation of windows and all its updates, I didn't get the option of
install SP1 yet.
After that I only installed Catalyst drivers: 11.5 and Realtek HD audio drivers, all downloaded on May 24 2011.
Then latest FFDShow and MPC-HC to test, both x64 versions Nothing else installed.
Only a fresh copy of windows with its updates and those mentioned drivers.
To my surprise, it happened a gain.
It still crashes after a while when playing MKV videos.
It's weird, because it doesn't happen with avi's or mp4's.
So, there must be something wrong with one of windows updates that creates this windows FREEZE.
Also there is no possibility to find out what error it is in "Event Viewer" as nothing gets recorded there. Anyone could
advise?
Thanks

Windows PC's freeze when they click on one of my webpages

I just created my website and all pages seem to be fine except one. Several Windows users say that their computers freeze up when accessing this page. I don't have a PC to test this but wonder if it might be because it has too many graphics.... I have one Quicktime Video, 3 photo albums, several hyperlinks to Amazon. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
The page is
http://web.mac.com/christinebecksted/iWeb/Site%202/Odds-n-Ends.html
Any help is much appreciated!

I have a similar problem. I have videos on my site and everything works fine on macs and when it is viewed on a PC the videos play fine but if you try to scroll down the page the video duplicates itself and sort of freezes the whole page and you can not view anything below the first video.
Here's my site:

Any ideas anyone?

Windows 8.1 freezing when streaming media

Hi Guys,
Every time I stream any content such as youtube or netflix then the streaming freezes and stutters. The only thing that has been changed is the update to windows 8.1 last night.
Can anyone tell me how to re-install Windows 8? A step by step if that's possible?

Hi,
Actually, if you want to re-install Windows 8, you need Windows 8 Installation image, you can refer to the link below for more detail:
How to perform a clean installation of Windows:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/clean-install
In addition, for your problem, it seems like graphic driver problem. Firstly, try to disable
GPU rendering in Advanced of Internet options.
Secondly, please try to reinstall or upgrade your Graphic driver for test.

Windows 8.1 freezes when playing silverlight after windows updates

Hi
Silverlight has been working fine for years. Yesterday 36 windows updates were installed (and took more than half an hour to complete).
Following the update if I go to a page in internet explorer with a sliverlight movie the whole operating system freezes and I have to reboot. This is not just Netflix (which still works fine in Chrome). It also happened with a test movie on a MS Silverlight
site.
I used your fixit wizard to no avail. I also manually uninstalled Silverlight and reinstalled it and cleared all caches, also without success.
I also noticed (you would after having to reboot 7 times) that rebooting takes an awfully long time just to get to the log in screen now, with over 30 seconds looking at a black screen prior to the first blues screen. I seem to remember MS heralding this
as a quick boot OS
Kind regards
Jonathan
jc

Following on:
ran sfc,ex /scannow and it checked the system file but did not stop the pc from freezing
I uninstalled Internet Explorer 11 and reinstalled it and tried Silverlight again and the pc froze again.
I think the only sensible solution is to uninstall Internet Explorer 11 and start using chrome from now on.
Wish I could do that with the OS too.
Thanks for all your help guys.

Windows XP Home freezes when airport card is disable

Hi everyone!
Problem like in the subject. If I disable airport card in Windows XP on my MacBook Pro 2.4 T7700 with Geforce, operating system dies (I used Boot Camp beta 1.3).
It won't start even in Emergency Mode, only in "last good configuration" mode with airport TURNED ON (of course)! If I remove the device everything is OK, but I can't go wireless when I need!
How to overcome this issue? Has enyone come across this issue?
cheers,
the soundman

hi carrot,
i hope you see this! i reset the values on the router which you told me to, and everything was great for a week, but then suddenly the network started going down again, two or three times a day, usually within 20 mins or so of the macbook airport joining the network.
do you have other recommendations? anyone else?
again, many thanks!

Yahoo email freezes when trying to send.

Using Windows XP home edition.
I can compose email in Yahoo. But as soon as I click '''SEND'', the SEND & SAVE AS DRAFT button get greyed out. It says "loading" somewhere on the page. I wait and the Loading word goes away. I do not get verification that the email was sent as it should state. I have to reload the page to be able to go to any folder in Yahoo to see my SENT folder in order to verify that it indeed was sent. 98%, I find the message in the sent folder so It got sent.
This does not happen using IExp.
I have this same problem with 2 separate computers, so its not just happening on one pc.
Any ideas to try? Thanks in advance

Try this:
Click on the Contacts icon
Select the Menu key
Select Settings
If the Only contacts with phones is checked, uncheck it
