I post following discovery on another thread hoping to help anyone who
had the same problem that I got. If it applies to you please read.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you who received (Not Responding) on your Windows Explorer
a few seconds right after reboot I would like to share my past finding
on an obviously a major bug in the lastest patch from Microsoft for
Windows Vista.
It took me almost two full days trying to diagnose the problem and
eventually found where the cuase is.. Wish to report the problem back
to Microsoft but they have no way for me to get in support easily and I
have to pay $59 for tell them what they made a major mistake?
Anyway, on November I installed the new patch KB941649 (I also
installed KB941600 and KB905866, but I think that was the criminal
one). It updated a Control Panel Item timedate.cpl to 698KB. From that
point on I could not get my system up as normal. About a minute or so
after the reboot the system will go into a sleep mode and the first one
is the Windows Explorer. Tried almost everything from disabling
unrecognized services to unknown startup process and nothing seems
helped.
Well, if you have the same problem, here is what you can do ...
1. boot system
2. right click task bar as soon as system gets up and select Property
3. on the Notification Area tab, unclick the "Clock"
4. hit Ok and see if you can log off to save the changes
5. when you get the system back up rename the timedate.cpl in
%Windows root%\System32 folder to timedate-cpl.bad
Let me know if you find it does not work for you or questions.
Good luck!
