My machine freezes up in various ways when I first start an application.
I'll try to start Outlook and it will kick off and then lock up. At other
times Outlook will be working fine, I'll be keying in a new email, and then I
click Send, and it locks up. At other times IE7 locks up upon launch. This
morning for example I rebooted and after the machine started its porcesses I
kicked off IE7 and it locked up. I then altcntldelete and select Shutdown.
Usually I get a message that explorer.exe is hanging do I want to END it. I
select yes. Shutdown partially works and then typically just hangs during
the shut down process and I have to hit the power button. I had to repeat
this 3 times before IE7 finally worked. For the most part once IE is working
and Outlook is working everything is fine and I can go for days as long as I
never shut it down.
I downloaded procexp and have it kick off auto during start up so that when
everything freezes I can still watch what goes on. I really think what is
happening is that explorer.exe is the problem. That is because whether
Outlook locks or IE7 locks, when I try to break out it says the explorer.exe
is not responding. Since both of these apps use the internet connection it
also may be that it doesn't talk properly with tcp/ip or my wireless card at
times. Of course it's possible that the hangs for each application are
caused by totally unrelated things.
In the event viewer I'll get things like this:
APPLICATION
Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 7.0.6000.16574, faulting module
sziebho.dll, version 5.0.5.5, fault address 0x00007fb9.
Hanging application iexplore.exe, version 7.0.6000.16574, hang module
hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.
SYSTEM
The DNS proxy agent was unable to read the local list of name-resolution
servers from the registry. The data is the error code.
The Network Address Translator (NAT) was unable to request an operation of
the kernel-mode translation module. This may indicate misconfiguration,
insufficient resources, or an internal error. The data is the error code.
The server {C7E39D60-7A9F-42BF-ABB1-03DC0FA4F493} did not register with DCOM
within the required timeout.
In summary I tend to waste 30 minutes every time I start the machine due to
this nonsense and then it generally behaves. I'd really like to get that 30
minutes back. Any ideas on where to start are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Russ
