Check your modem software against the list in this link. It can happen,
more often than one would expect, that the software CD coming with
hardware is already out of date when you make your purchase.

" I looked at device manager and there was a question mark beside other
devices, and when i clicked on this I read that 'the drivers for this
device are not installed'"

Please provide more details.

What are your your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements?

How much RAM memory do you have? What is your CPU processor speed?

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

How large is your hard disk and how much free space.

Hope this helps.

(This is part of a reply I made to you on 31 October.

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No
Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear
in--
The first two Reports occured after the last two and I would thinked
are
paired in that they relate to the same problem. They could go away if
you can resolve the other two.

Of the remaining two this one is probably the more important:
"Faulting application zyxel g-202.exe, version 2.0.2.1, faulting
module

zyxel g-202.exe, version 2.0.2.1, fault address 0x000606d4."

It would seem that you have a Zyxel modem or router and the related
software is not working as it should. How and when did you acquire
this

item? What is the model number? You may need to get an updated driver
from the Zyxel site or update the software.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

The OffProv12 warning relates either to a problem with Office 2007
or a

beta version of Office 2007. Which do you have installed?

Download and install the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service

What Errors and Warnings appear in the System log of Event Viewer?

Hello Gerry
Thanks for your post.

Zyxel - G-202 wireless modem - I connect to the internet on the pc
using a USB adapter.
It has been working fine since we got it, approx 2 months ago, and it
also works well on another lapt top we use. I did get online today,it
connects fine, and it seems that the process of actually opening up
IE takes an age.

We purchased wireless modem and usb from our service provider.
I looked at device manager and there was a question mark beside other
devices, and when i clicked on this I read that 'the drivers for this
device are not installed'

but I did locate the Zyxel wireless usb adapter under network
adapters, and when i looked at this it showed 'this device is
working properly' Driver details
C:\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\WlanUZXP.sys

I have office 2007 (not the beta version) which i got from a computer
outlet, it is installed on 2 other computers in the house and works
just fine.
It does work on the PC, I opened it today, but it takes an age to
open.

I looked in the event log for today and was surprised to see only a
few errors and warnings

Description:
The computer browser service terminated with the following error:
This operation returned because the time out period expired.

The computer only took about 30 mins to boot up today, and its just
so slow to load the desktop icons etc, and when i click on programs I
sometimes get the torch while the pc tries to locate the program, it
seems once the programs are open they seem to work a little faster.
But a lot of the time when i try to close a program i get the
message on top of page thats its stopped responding.

I did not get the chance to download Hive cleanup today, but will do
tomorrow.

Thank you once again for all your help and time so far, I am very
very grateful.

:

Not to interfer with the "other route" on this issue:

In case version 2.0.2.1 is the current driver as listed in Device Manager
for the Zyxel G-202 (802.11g ?) Wireless Client, note that version 2.0.2.5 is
available.


Note the Windows article "Event ID 63 occurs when you run the Microsoft
System Information program from Office 2007 or from Office 2003",

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891642/en-us

although it applies to OffProv11.

From former posts you wrote: "

files, Im sorry I cant remember which ones come up, as cant use the comp
as its too slow and on vista at the mo."

My comp properties
868 Mhz, 512MB of RAM

Given that means Vista as well is installed on the PC, I assume you are
aware of that the Windows Vista recommended system requirements with regard
to CPU speed is 1 GHz, and that installation and - / or use did not give rise
to the slowness when running on XP.

And in case the computer really is running on the Vista OS, is the
"behaviour" similar to as when using XP?

Thank you for your post.Sorry I was unclear in this post. I am only
running windows xp from the PC I am having trouble with. I was using
vista on a laptop.
Will have a look at driver version compatability.
Thanks

Hello Gerry
Thank you for your post, unfortuately at the moment I cannot act on any
of your help and advise, as tnight when i turned the pc on it started to
load, got to the desktop and then I got a blue screen with the
following...

'A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.
KERNEL-DATA-INPAGE-ERROR
If this is the first time you have seen this screen, restart your
computer.
If this screen appears again check to make sure new hardware or
software is properly installed.
If this is a new installation ask manufacturer for any windows updates
you might need.
If problems continue, remove or disable any newly installed
hard/software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or
shadowing.
Technical info:
STOP: 0X0000007A (0XE18FB378, 0X000000E, 0XBF8CEEF0, 0X191860)
Win32k.sys - address BF8CEEF0 base at BF8000000
Date stamp 45F013F6
Physical memory dump complete. '

I restarted pc, and before desktop appeared, i had blue screen again,
but this time it said

'A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly
exited or been terminated. FOLLOWED BY THE BODY OF MESSAGE THE SAME AS
ABOVE
Technical info:
STOP: 0X000000F4 (0X00000003, 0X82A1B9D8, 0X82A1BB4C, 0X805FA160)
Physical memory dump complete'

As much as I have been able to follow your straight forward help and
support, I dont feel that I am going to be able or that I am computer
competent enough to be able to sort this problem out, and now with
these new errors today I think I am going to have to take it to have
some one try to sort it out for me.
I dont understand why these new messages have appeared today, as I
haven't changed anything since yesterday. Ans its just so odd that this
all started after performing disk cleanup, or maybe that was just a
coincindence.
Thank you for all your help though, I am very very grateful for your
time.

I fully understand your predicament. Given the circumstances I would
take the computer to my computer supplier ( a small shop) and ask them
to resolve the problem. A home user does not have the resources to check
out hardware like power supply units, motherboards etc. I would be
interested to know what they find.

Hi Gerry,
Will keep you posted on what happens, thank you for your help, it is
much appreciated.

My advice is to back up or copy any important files and folders asap , this
happened to me and I had to replace my harddrive and lost everything! Most
upsetting!

 

[bojimbo26one]

To lel , have you tried system restore to before it went slow ?
