PC freezing? MS has the answer

[Eguy]

Has your PC began to freeze lately? Read on..

 

[FarFarAway]

*sighs*

Mine hasn't but still - MS need to get it together

 

[PV5150]

typical!!! Still no sign of the freezing here (touch wood ) and I just reveived the last lot of updates from MS. Redmond you really need to get your act together, god it reminds me of Valve

I actualy laughed when i saw the title of this thread... I keep windows updates off for this very reason (also the annoying 'OMFG!! YOUR PC WILL CATCH FIRE AND DIE IF YOU DONT UPDATE NOW' msges it used to give me...)

 

[Raven]

no problem over here all updates installed.

windows update is set to not update but to notify me their is updates.s

This only happens on computers that run certain Hewlett-Packard photo-sharing software or the Kerio firewall. So dont worry if you are not using any of those but then again this is not the first time Ms patches cause more problems then the stuff they should of fix in the first place

Indeed, there is a flaw in Tablet PC edition in some of the MS software, and they said they are "researching the issue" Meanwhile my computer mouse pointer lags across the screen during heavy use

Whats the c.p.u usage when the lags occur ?

 

[Eguy]

100%, its from tabtip.exe and tcserver.exe

8 machines have come into the workshop with this problem so far, stupid microsoft!!

 

[Tec]

100%, its from tabtip.exe and tcserver.exe

Have you ever reset these files or processes? Over time they grow to big sizes ( each file can get to 400/500mb ) so might cause lag.

Created a batch file for you. Just run it , it will kill those 2 process and restart taptip.exe which taptip.exe restarts tcserver.exe.

Use notepad , copy and paste below , save it with .bat extension in windows directory , create a shortcut into your desktop and run it when u start your pc.

---- taptip.bat ----

REM - First, kill processes

taskkill -im tabtip.exe /F

taskkill -im tcserver.exe /F

REM - switch to directory containing Ink executables

c:

cd "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Ink\"

REM - Startup the processes - 

REM - tcserver.exe will be called automatically by tabtip.exe

tabtip.exe

---- END OF FILE ----

Good luck.

Reps for Tec - very well done mate

 

[Phnom_Penh]

Created a batch file for you.

O Rly? :bs:

Problem with that batch is the system won't always have the resources for it to run if it's using 100% cpu.

 

[Tec]

well he doesnt have 100% cpu when he starts his pc.

 

[Eguy]

Yep I do, Tried using the batch files they don't work its a problem with the file itself and MS has to make a patch... read tabletpcbuzz.com

Thx anyway
