| | | | On a daily basis, my computer slows to a crawl. Control Atl delete yields,
after a long black screen, ???failure - security options??? ???logon process has
failed to create the security options dialog.???Have run complete checkdisk and
hard drive tests and everything comes up okay. No events shown in event
viewer. I see postings of this problem all over the internet but no
solutions. Anyone at Microsoft have an idea?

| | | | | I've had the same problem, and mine even begins when I first turn the
computer on. It boots up VERY slowly, and when I try to open internet
explorer, or any other programs that I have on my computer they either won't
open, or after a couple of minutes they lock up and say "Not Responding".
When I ctrl-alt-del the same thing happens...black screen and then the same
error message. After extensive research on the web, with suggestions such as
replacing your entire hard drive (and since I got my computer a month ago,
definitely not feasible), I found a suggestion that actually worked for me.
I had an antivirus software installed which included spyware software, and
then I also added another spyware software as well, figuring that what one
didn't catch, another would. Apparently there is some sort of software
conflict in having both these programs together, even if they don't run at
the same time. I uninstalled the second spyware program, rebooted, and now
my computer is as fast as it was the first day I got it, and the cntl-alt-del
works normally.

This last post describes exactly what I was experiencing. The same
opaque windows, the same lockup and the same black screen before getting
the error message. The last resort being holding the on/off button down
and rebooting.
Now I'm having problems loading up in safe mode and if it turns out
that the repeated on/off button shutdowns have damaged my HD I will be
pursuing this with Microsoft.
I'm at a complete loss. Any further help/updates?
Thanks.

I'm having this same problem also. I recently installed SP1 and after
letting the automatic updating install updates last night, I keep
getting this error. I've had to manually turn off the computer about 6
times this morning.

| | | | | I just hit this as well. I'm on Ultimate 64. I let it run its course for a
good ten min finally hitting CAD... still nothing for a good 5 min... HD
getting hammered the entire time. Finally said dialog. Hit okay, more
unresponsiveness. Power off. My first big Vista crash.

I am yet another person with this problem, only mine started within weeks of
getting my computer; however within the first few months it only occured on
rare occasions so I had just (wrongly?) assumed that there had been some
issue with something I was doing. I have followed advice on forums as to how
to get rid of it, from changing AV programs to uninstalling and reinstalling
software to mucking around with the HD and nada.
Some unpleasant side effects of these crashes are that now Windows Security
Centre doesn't always recognise my antivirus and often when I'll restart
after a crash my firewall is down, amongst other bugs with programs that had
been open at the time (settings or content wiped etc). I'll also find that
upon restarting the computer I have to leave it for anywhere up to twenty
minutes before it gets to the login screen; I'll just have a screen with a
blinking cursor after the initial Dell splash screen. Only thing I've found
is that sometimes getting up and leaving it for half an hour lets it get back
to where it was. And sometimes not. Either way, it's very very frustrating
and whenever I have called help lines nothing has been resolved.
Please help, Microsoft :S
