This friend of mine has real problem with her laptop (Vista sp1).
it was first noticed when her anti-virus did a scheduled scan. The
anti-virus program hung whilst scanning the System32 folder.
I tried with Windows Defender. Same thing, it hangs after a while.
I de-activated her anti-virus program (forgot the name. Not a well known
brand) and downloaded/installed Avast, to no avail. it also hangs whilst
scanning the System32 folder.
I also tried to scan using SFC/scannow. The PC freezes at 68 % of the scan.
I tried these different manipulation in safe mode. Same results.
and everytime, the PC Freezes and I am obliged to do a hard stop/restart.
I am stuck. I just don't know what to try next, or what to look for.
any clue, suggestion, magic potion ?
