Hi all!

I have a AMD 2.6ghz windows XP SP 2with an MSI 7021 motherboard and American Megatrends Bios. X86 based PC.
The problem is when I get to the windows page to start working the first click(an example is to click on Start)the entire page freezes except the mouse which show the hour glass. It is doing something in the background that seems to wait for it to time-out before the computer starts working right. This amount of freezing appears to be 5 to 15 minutes. I can't see anything in Task manager processes doing it. The Event viewer sometimes shows errors in Service Control Manager(Application Layer Gateway service failed to start due to the service not responding to start or control in a timely fashion), DCOM(the server 73E709EA-5D93-4B2E-BBBO-99B7938DA9E4 or another such number)did not register with DCOM within required timeout, disk(driver detected a controller error on\Device\Harddisk0\D(i just put new one in), ntfs-Delayed Writed Failed, ftdisk-system failed to flush data to the transaction log, Side by Side-error was deteded on device\Harddisk2\D during a paging operation, sbp2port-device did not respond within the timeout period, CDrom error was detected on device CdRom0
during paging operation(42 warnings), and lastly I don't want this to go on forever
Side by Side-Dependent Assembly Microsoft VC80.MFCLOC could not be found and Last Error was assembly in not installed on system/next error after the one I just wrote is Side by Side-Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Micro VC80.MFCLOC assembly not installed on system AND LAST Side by Side after previous 2 is Generate Activation Context failed forE:\WINDOWS\Win SxS\x86 microsoft VC80MFCLOC_1fc8b3b9a1e1e18e3b_8.0.50727.163_x-ww_39049d00\MFC80U.DLL. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.

Hey!
I think the guru's should be able to put this into human language or guide us in some other manner to point out directions of problems.
Sorry to throw so much crap at you at once but I know you want as much info as can be supplied.

I JUST HOPE I DIDN'T OVER DO IT!!!!!!!!

run a chkdsk on your Windows drive, it might well be your hard disk is failing.

You will be prompted to schedule a scan on next reboot, press Y and confirm it. Then reboot, and let the scan complete and see if it fixes anything.

If that doesn't help, transfer your pagefile to another partition and see.
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> under Performance, click Settings, in the Performance Options window, go to the Settings tab, under Virtual Memory click Change, choose another partition, click Custom size and set both initial and final size to 1024 and click the SET button. And select the Windows partition, C drive and choose "No Paging file" and click the Set button. Then click OK and close all windows and reboot.

Thanks,

Chkdsk seems to have found something and fixed it. The machine is running far superior to what it had been doing.

Thanks again,
Ed
