VSE8.5i freezes XP startup for few seconds, WHY?
« on: 15. March 2009., 12:39:06 »
Hello,

I am currently using McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i + Patch 7. For some reason the computer freezes for few seconds and starts working again.
I did fresh install without ethernet cable plugged in but before I install VSE it did not freeze but after installing VSE it freezes.

You can move mouse around the screen but when you click on start or desktop icon or whatever AFTER few seconds of startup, it freezes.

Does anyone have experienced this sort of bug or something?

I notice the same thing only in time when AV "pick" new update definitions or start scheduled Weekly Scan.

Check that first.  ;)

Thank you for reply,
I only do On-demand scan every weekends, no scheduled task except AutoUpdate I set the schedule to check for updates after 5:00AM, and missed task delayed by 5 minutes.

I dont have a big problem with it but the startup seems to be laggy.

Try to access XP's event viewer and study them closely for defined errors (usually signed with a red marked icon).

For fast access: START>RUN

type in: "c:\windows\system32\mmc.exe c:\windows\system32\eventvwr.msc"

Kindly give us info on errors you may find.

Is your MCAfee a legit one?

Sorry but I do not use 'legit' copy of VSE, it is pirated one (I apologize McAfee but I will get Internet Security suite soon).
Would you like the copy of it in case it contains malicious codes?
But it seems only happens to my computer, other laptops, computers I've installed have no problem with freezing at startup.

Thank you for your suggestion.  :thumbsup: and I will have a look at the event log

I have experienced the same problem in one of my computers. Think the problem are the hardware limitations (e.g. Processor, Memory, etc...).

I disabled the McAfee for launch at startup and it boot a little bit faster.

Current PC Configuration:
Brand: Dell Dimension 8200
OS: Windows XP Professional SP3
Processor: Pentium 4 1.8Ghz
Memory: 512MB RDRAM Dual Channel 400Mhz

2 things:

1.  100% CPU usage. (too many process in the background / cpu overheats)
2.  Memory clogged.

Hey F3RL, I'll give you a legit one (VSE8.7). interested? ;D

Well, that would be greate if you could share the copy of legit VSE8.7, but...
Isn't it a little bit unstable? Because I have a copy of VSE8.7 (downloaded long time ago) but
it seems to be slow and unstable - I was waiting for a patch to come out.

Btw, it would be great if you could share :P thank you.
