| | | | 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

Well, I wish I had known this issue was so pervasive before I bought a
new computer with Vista on it.
I'm having the same issue, just started today - just bought my computer
one month ago. Unlike many of you, however, I am not running two
virus/spyware software packages and have not upgraded to SP1... so it
sounds to me like this is a serious issue that Vista has, with no real
fix.
When I talked to my boyfriend about it, he said "I think that's why
Microsoft is coming out with a new OS... because Vista is screwed".
That doesn't help those of us who don't want/need to invest the money in
a brand new operating system.
I honestly hope Microsoft is aware of this problem, aware of how
prolific it is, and willing to work on a fix for it - because it's
ridiculous to have a non-working computer less than 4 weeks after you
buy it.... especially when my entire paycheck relies on it operating
successfully.

Hi, I have quite a simillar problem, although not so serious yet...
usually after letting the computer somehow idle for ten or fifteen
minutes (not precisely verified) it freezes - sometimes even gradually,
like that I can still switch windows and click here and there, but
eventually everything is blocked, including task manager and clock. And
then black screen and the famous message - Failure - security options ->
no other option than cold reboot.
The computer seems to last for a long time as long as I am working, but
on the other hand, it freezed even if I did nothing else after the
reboot than let play some music in Media Player.
In the log there is nothing else than a warning that the system was not
shut down correctly. It started quite suddenly, but restore to a
previous point didn't change anything.
It's an ASUS F3Sv laptop, one and half years (actually Vista's been
there for a year), HDD is Hitachi I think.
It seems that many people have/had this kind of troubles, however there
was a hell lot of probable causes and solutions. Thx anyone for any
help...

it. Every week I have also did the whole scan thing with windows live.
Then error message Logon has failed to give security option. security

repair didn't do the trick) my hard drive just disappeared!!! Now I have
a new pc with nothing:-(
