Re: Estending the time until "Not Responding"

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Many programs. My email app, Photoshop, IE when the page has a lot to
render, misc others.
My CPU is a 3400mhz/2gb memory, so it's not that. Theres no Viruses or
adware or malware.
I do run regedit elevated administrator. The entry is not there, the list
is alphabetical.
To create it, I can do New, but is it a dword, key, string...?

Strange. That key is in my Vista registry. I can see it with an Admin
account, not elevated. You probably would have to elevate regedit to change
it. Are you sure you didn't miss it? The lines could be used to create a
..reg file and import it (from an elevated command prompt).
I would be cautious though. I don't know if there are any implications to
increasing it beyond the normal 'slow' default. Also, I'm not sure what you
mean by "goes into not responding mode prematurely." Will these programs
(what are they?) eventfully load alright if you wait?


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

The TweakUI slider is already at "slow", and the microsoft technet page
doesnt help me. Theres no entry in the registry called HungAppTimeOut.
Please advise. Thanks!

See the HungAppTimeout registry key under HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control
Panel\Desktop\ key. The value (default is 5000) is milliseconds to wait.

See link below which references Windows 2K but seems to be the same in XP
and Vista.

The "Ultimate Windows Tweaker - Tweak UI For Windows Vista" can also
adjust
this in the System and Performance item although it's slowest setting may
be
the 5000 millisecond default.

I would like to know if theres a way to extend the time that vista waits
before assuming that an application has prematurely Not Responding.
Theres
several programs on my system that take a while to load, and the
program
goes
into not responding mode prematurely. Thanks for all your replies.
