Post ID Timestamp Content User
418542 2006-01-05 12:11:00 Just restarted my computer (I normally just hibernate) and noticed that the computer hung for a while when displaying "Welcome" on the screen (It logs straight on due to only 1 account with no password)

The HDD light was flickering slightly and after about a minute the hard drive actually started making noise (as it does when something is happening) and the logon process completed.

I thought it might have been a virus so I tried running housecall but... it won't work!! it just stops like this. (imagef1.net.nz)

I don't know when it last was working or anything that might have caused this problem... :(

418545 2006-01-05 17:20:00 Hibernation and some computers just don't play nicely together. Did you try a complete shutdown and then startup?

edit: re-read your post, I see you didn't actually wake the PC up from hibernation put did a restart. Still does this still happen after a proper startup? Is it just that online scanner that is not working? Try a few other sites. It may be possible your firewall or other security program has blocked that site from functioning.

my computer had been running straight out of hibernation for the past few days... thought it good to do a restart - which is when the problem occurred.

I will try a complete shutdown/startup now and see what happens.

418548 2006-01-06 01:10:00 Interestingly enough that seemed to sort the problem out :)

Haven't removed anything with HJT yet, but:

java updater
part of nvida driver install
nvidia taskbar
nvidia control panel
part of nero
quicktime (often reinserts startup each time you use quicktime)
messanger (if you don't use it get rid of it and break it out of OE etc)

418550 2006-01-06 01:22:00 Apart from quicktime, why get rid of them? (I do use msn btw) Agent_24 (57)
418551 2006-01-06 01:33:00 just unneeded thats all (with the exception of the java updater, i would keep that).

they can cause slight drop in performance, for those who are not hardcore geeks i would bother with removing any of them (except MSN, i do not like messanger programs running at startup. they are best run when you need them).
