| I am having all the same problems listed here in this thread. I had downloaded RegCure and found it came with Malwate and trojan horses, I downloaded ASquared and got rid of all that and uninstalled REG cure. I got rid of AVG and downloaded and ran Panda anti virus Pro.. I also run ThreatFire and some uses on this forum reported that uninstalling Threatfire helped. I have run every utility including CCleaner Registsry cleaner... My computer runs fine for a while and then BAM! can't open anything except in safe mode. I will post my progress or lack there of....
VISTA SUCKS. I have a friend who is running a beta version of 7 and he claims it runs much, much better and takes up far fewer resources...

| | I know jack sh!t about computers, but I do have intelgence which is just above idiot. So when my computer suffered the same issues (this was caused just after clicking on a link my friend send me to make my crank big and large), instead of spending money at Best buy. I googled searched this in my Smart Phone "My Touch". After reading through all the insight, I decided on the opening in Safe mode and the closing all start up programs. I found one program called "Sservice" which was loaded the same time I clicked on the link. It is a trojan virus which steals passwords or something to this effect. As soon as i turned off all programs the computer worked right away. Thank you to all you computer guys out there who can explain things to us morons. |

| | hi all, the failure-security options problem here too. Damn. It appeared suddenly for no visible reasons. I have tried all mentioned here, stop defender, sidebar, uninsal antivirus, norton registry cleanup..nothing helped... it even freezes during shutdown... dont know what else to do. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks all. |

| I've been battling this problem on my HP Pavilion dv9500 Laptop for close to the last 6 months. I ran checkdisk, virus scans, I even did a recovery back to original "as bought" state (followed by reinstall of programs one by one...). Since finding this thread this morning, I have tried only one thing. Uninstalling AVG 8.5. That has worked thus far. Boot was faster, nothing has stopped responding, everything seems to be working. THANK YOU ALL!  |

| After a couple days reading posts about this problem and realizing that my setup was completely different from everyone else's, I started doing my own investigation. My AV program is McAfee, which I haven't seen mentioned as a culprit in any dialog. I tried turning Windows Defender off, to no avail. What seemed to be happening was that my memory utilization was going through the roof after just a couple minutes of the computer being up and running.
If you haven't tried this, bring up the task manager (Ctrl + Shift + esc), and click on the Performance tab. By the time the computer has slowed to a crawl, I bet the CPU utilization is minimal (0 - 20% utilization), but the memory utilization is almost at 100%.
On my machine, none of the running processes seemed to be consuming large amounts of memory. I did some investigating on Vista's "memory management" strategy, which is vastly different than anything in any of the old Windows OSs. There's a service, Superfetch, that tries to load up your idle RAM with stuff that you may soon use. This is stored in "Cached Memory," and is supposedly freed up if a running process needs it. I believe that perhaps something happened that corrupted the superfetch service which causes it to constantly cache things in memory, but never frees the memory when another process actually needs it.
If no other remedy has helped to relieve this problem, try this. Go to Start -> run, type "services.msc" and click OK. Locate the process named "Superfetch", right click, properties, and disable it. Now, reboot and see if your problem has gone away.
If you try this and it doesn't work, I'd be interested to know. |

We have a pinned post for dealing with BSOD/Stop errors. You will need to read through that as every stop error is different.
I'm wondering if anyone has installed Windows7, and has this helped?
Could be ... but we're not a Windows 7 forum, so you're unlikely to get any responses about that here on this forum.

| | Hey guys, thanks so much. This forum has been very helpful to me. I was having the same problem. I was down a total of 8 days. Finally got back to running normal, no problem for over a month. Initially I was not patient, and when my system froze up, I forced a shutdown. Then after a few days of continued problems, I waited after system froze up, and got the same error code you all did. "Login process has failed to create the security options dialog. Failure - Security Options" So I uninstalled my old AV, called F-secure, which I got from my internet provider, and I installed McAfee. I may have been running 2 firewalls in the past, can't remember. But funny thing, my original AV ran fine for 11 months. I made sure after reading this forum to only have 1 firewall, 1 AV, etc running. I disabled Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. Thanks again. |

| | Thanks for the tip re: turn off Superfetch. Seems to have fixed the trouble. Went through the other suggestions including disabling all start-up stuff to no avail. Don't think I'll miss superfetch - even if working properly. (Suspect the hard drive will appreciate a bit of a rest as well.) |
