Re: Freezing Over Start Menu.... Again

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

Well the "SELECT" keyword is a database thing and some backup software can use it. I am a little unsure about how some of the stuff you have works so have no real answer but I thing you can find MSCONFIG to see what is running and temporarily do a lot with it without harming your system.

I ran 'sdc /scannow' didn't indicate a problem.
In safe mode the problem doesn't exist.
The sofware wasn't giving me a problem before.
Why would the software all of a sudden cause problems?
They are both purchased software and I'll consider removing them.
And why is the start menu acting up now when I try to open it.
The problems seems to be getting worse.

Thanks,

As far as the memory diagnostic report.. there is none. I navigated to the proper branch and no events.

Now another anomoly:
Right after bootup when I click the start menu orb only the top 3 items display an icon and the system hangs.
The other 5 show no icon for about 20 seconds then they appear.
After some reboots the start menu opens but is tranparent, can see the desktop underneath... no items or
anything for about 20 seconds then they appear.

There is no event being reported at the time the system hangs waiting for the item information for the start menu items.
These items are third party software (Active Disk Image and Desktop Maestro) that I've had for some time and I had issues like this before I added memory.

I did paste 2 'Error' events that occured during a bootup about an hour ago:

Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32
_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of
error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

Code Integrity is unable to verify the image integrity of the file \Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files\Microsoft Security
Essentials\Drivers\mpfilter\mpfilter.sys because the set of per-page image hashes could not be found on the system.


I haven't got a clue about those messages. I would boot into safe mode for a while and see how the Start menu behaves etc.
If it seems ok, then get rid of the software giving you problems.
If the Start menu still has problems in safe mode then I would suspect Vista is
corrupted somehow.
Maybe try a 'sfc /scannow' file check, a system restore or even consider a clean install.






Those messages look like something from SQL, MySQL or some similar database program perhaps related to "Code Integrity" and it seems like it's trying to find something it cannot. Does any of your software use and SQL like program, perhaps online backup or something?

If you could prevent that from starting with Windows you might be able isolate the problem.
