Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit reliability and performance from the reliability monitor on a Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop of James Singleton.
Dell Inspiron 530 Desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit is for testing new, experimental and troubled software so this could affect the reliability but not the performance data for the Dell Inspiron 530 Desktop.
On September 2, 2010 Windows Live Messenger Beta msnmsgr.exe crashed and was reinstalled. The program had a connection problem prior to it failing.
James M Singleton added Facebook integration to the new Windows Live Messenger Beta and it performs well. Twitter is not yet available.
Viewing Recorded TV in Windows Media Center caused Windows 7 Home Premium to crash on August 29, 2010. As a result Desktop was manually restarted twice.
Viewing the same Recorded TV file in Windows Media Player caused it close. This happens when a television station comes in weak and the picture pixelates.
The RAM usage approaches 100%. The solution is to make sure the TV antenna is properly placed prior to recording TV or not record weak TV stations.
August 28, 2010 Windows Explorer explorer.exe hung on Laptop.
Minefield browser can be dangerous and unstable so it was uninstalled August 26, 2010 and replaced with Firefox 4.0 Beta 4. Firefox 4.0 Beta 4 was also installed on Laptop. ManyCam and LastPass was uninstalled. The LastPass Firefox addon
will be used. LastPass is the best password manager and it is free with no gimmicks.
Since passwords should be up to 14 digits now I thought that it would be a good time to start looking at some well performing password managers. KeePass and LastPass are the two reliable password managers that James M Singleton will test. I found KeePass to be confusing then I found LastPass Firefox addon. It was so easy to use that
on August 25, 2010, I decided to install LastPass 1.69.0 on Window 7 Home Premium. This will provide reliable password integration in all browsers. This security measure will push back the test of Windows 7 Speech Recognition and the Firefox addon Firesay.
Intel TV Wizard was uninstalled from Laptop. The Windows Media Center is the perfect interface for TV and FM radio also if the TV Tuner has the capacity.
PREDATOR 2.3.0.594 PredatorACE.exe failed three times on August 24, 2010 on Desktop. The 64-bit version of PREDATOR must be installed if using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. PREDATOR software locks your computer, via USB Drive, when your Windows session is still open. I decided
to not use this program but enable Password Required when Awakened from Sleep in Power Options.
Windows 7 Speech Recognition and the Firefox addon Firesay will be tested by James M Singleton
starting August 23, 2010. Using your voice, you can start programs, open menus, dictate text,
write and send emails. Webcam software test are finished and the webcam software I will install
is Yawcam and ManyCam on the Desktop, Yawcam and Dell Webcam Control Center on the Laptop. Unlocker 1.90 was uninstalled because most files can be deleted after reboot or changing permissions. A good idea is to put important utilities on a USB thumb drive.
Note: When Microsoft Security Essentials checks and has no new definition updates, a warning shows a failed update. Not having that issue with Microsoft Security Essentials beta. This issue has been resolved.
Microsoft Works Word Processor WksWP.exe stopped responding August 21. 2010 while copying text from Firefox 3.6.8 and pasting to Microsoft Works Word Processor. Copying and pasting the same text from Internet Explorer 8 produced this dialog box warning:
Yawcam 0.3.3 webcam software was installed on both computers August 20, 2010 and ManyCam 2.5.68 webcam software was installed on the Desktop. The Laptop has pre-installed Dell Integrated Webcam software. Yawcam is 100% free and the best webcam monitoring software that I have tested so far.
Workspace Desktop was uninstalled August 18, 2010, some services required a subscription, so it is mostly adware. Email Notifier will work not on other email accounts. I recommend the Firefox addon, WebMail Notifier.
Workspace Desktop from Go Daddy was installed August 15, 2010. Go Daddy's Workspace Desktop by Starfield Technologies comes complete with online folders, backup, sync as well as a Desktop Notifier for email.
On August 13, 2010, James M. Singleton installed media player codec pack K-Lite Codec Pack Basic 6.3.0 to replace Win7codecs 2.6.1. Win7codecs 2.6.1 is bundled with Bing Toolbar and I like the fact that Win7codecs 2.6.1 updates often but, I got tired of uninstalling the Bing Toolbar bundled with it.
It is documented that Microsoft Works Word Processor WksWP.exe crashes and the error was caused by pasting to Microsoft Works Word Processor from Firefox 3.6.8. Microsoft Works Word Processor WksWP.exe failed on Desktop twice on August 8, 2010. Error WksWP.exe was not repeated using Windows Internet Explorer. Further test suggest that error WksWP.exe is not a Firefox problem as it can happen with any application. This
edition of Microsoft Work Word Processor came with Windows Vista and there may be some incompatibility problem that affects the performance but there shouldn't be. One can try running WksWP.exe in Compatibility Mode selecting Windows Vista SP3. When and if Microsoft finds a solution for WksWP.exe, James M. Singleton will publish it.
Thirty percent of users who upgraded from Windows XP experienced some Windows 7 Home Premium installation situations, the upgrade from Windows Vista is flawless.
Windows 7 Reliability and Performance shows that Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit and 64-bit is solid.
EasyWebCam software easywebcam.exe failed twice on August 2, 2010 while configuring email SMTP settings. EasyWebCam is only a 15 day trial,
so I recommend using a free alternative like Yawcam or Fwink free webcam software.
TeboCam stopped working July 29. 2010 as vshost.exe and update.vshost.exe stopped responding, vshost.exe is a Microsoft Visual Studio Hosting Process.
Downloaded TeboCam 2.48 free webcam monitoring software and the TeboCam 2.48 SMTP email performance test was successful.
TeboCam is in beta and hung after SMTP test with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
Sunday, July 25, 2010, Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit is now installed on the Laptop of James M Singleton. It is the best time to create a System Image and System Repair Disc. Windows Live Devices, WLSync.exe stopped on Desktop while using Windows Live Sync beta.
Saturday, July 24, 2010, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system was reinstalled on the Desktop as part of a new cycle.
Microsoft Works Word Processor WksWP.exe stopped working while copying text from Firefox 3.6.6 and pasting to Microsoft Works Word Processor Document and Windows Explorer explorer.exe hung on Desktop, July 15, 2010.
On July 12, 2010, RJ TextEd editor was replaced with CoffeeCup Free HTML Editor. Both CoffeeCup Free HTML Editor and RJ TextEd Editor are quirky
with FTP and RJ TextEd Editor would be my second choice for Source Editors.
RJ TextEd Unicode source editor textEd.exe stopped responding July 7, 2010 on Desktop, version 6.50 was updated to RJ TextEd version 6.51.
Windows Media Center ehshell.exe failed on Desktop while watching recorded TV on July 6, 2010. Forced Restart.
A Windows Live Devices failure WLSync.exe was detected on the Desktop July 3, 2010 due to a Sync file conflict.
Windows Explorer explorer.exe stopped July 2, 2010 on Laptop. If Windows Explorer explorer.exe fails often, it is usually caused by uninstalling some third -party software
and there is corruption. Microsoft has a hotfix for this but, at the first sign of corruption it's best to just reinstall Windows or restore from a system image.
System Restore can help with recent issues and should be tried first.
Registry Editor regedit.exe failed on the Desktop July 1, 2010 because of not taking ownership of the file before editing.
Windows Media Center ehshell.exe stopped responding on the Laptop, also.
Java Runtime Environment javaw.exe crashed on Desktop June 28, 2010 for unknown reasons.
A Wlmail.exe Windows Live Mail crash occurred June 23,2010 while sending images via Windows Live Photo Gallery.
Dell Inspiron 1525 errors on June 4, 2010 were due to the laptop being unplugged while on and watching live TV and javaw.exe crashed on the Dell 530 Inspiron desktop computer.
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.dll
On May 25, 2010, Windows Media Center Receiver Service ehshell.exe crashed and received an error for unknown reason(s).
Job Status Window Interface dlcxjswx.exe had an error May 16, 2010 when scanning a document without OCD software installed. Problem solved by installing ABBYY FineReader 6.0 Sprint.
Internet Explorer 8 iexplore.exe crashed May 3, 2010, May 6, 2010, and May 7, 2010 as Internet Explorer 8 cannot be dogged as much as other browsers and I have been doing heavy SEO work. Google Chrome and Firefox seldom crashes during heavy surfing, downloading and etc.
There was an Windows Explorer explorer.exe error on May 5, 2010 for unknown reasons.
The reliability monitor shows spoolsv.exe crashed April 24, 2010 so the problem printer drivers were also taken off the startup menu. It might take a little longer to start the printer but, there is no reason to load these files upon startup. History has shown a pattern of driver problems.
There were crash problems with Windows 7 printer drivers when upgrading from Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit to the 64-bit operating system on the Dell Inspiron 530 computer. Printer is an old Dell Photo 926 All-in-One Printer with Windows 7 drivers. The reliability monitor on the PC Computer of James M. Singleton shows two dlcxjswx.exe printer application errors occurred on April 9, 2010. I decided to reinstall the application and disable it from the startup menu on James Computers. This is the solution to the problem. No Windows 7 solutions found on the reliability monitor for the errors yet.
The Dell Inspiron 1525 computer had AverMedia Driver Utilities installation problem errors on April 8, 2010 that were caused by multiple installations during the Windows 7 install process.
On April 7, 2010 James M Singleton has upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit from the 32-bit edition.
James M Singleton has made several enhancements and webpage plainer with reduced content and updates only when necessary with relevent news. And again, error free websites don't just happen.
