Warning The following contains it's share of whining and lots of rambling!
Begin Ramblings--->I have been having problems with my pc pertaining to sleep mode and regular shutdowns.
The pc is a Vista 64BIT home professional.
Sometimes, I will put my pc in sleep mode, sometimes I allow it to sleep automatically.
Sometimes I'll do a normal power off.
Regardless of How it goes to sleep or when I power off .. the monitor will shut off but the pc itself will continue to run and run and run!<--Whine
Nothing I do will bring the monitor back up to see what is going on.<--Whine
I have to do a hard power off (hold down the power button) to shut the pc down.<--Whine
Upon restart I always get a long loading screen 'until' the message "Your computer could not start normally, would you like to do a restore"?
After running in restore mode for twenty minuets 'another' message comes up which reads:
The exception unknown software (Oxc0000005) exception occurred in the application location OX10011311
click okay to terminate the program
(In the above .. I can't be sure if those are zeros or letters)
After all this .. the pc will finally get to the welcome screen.<---Whine
Now what comes next makes me think that the problem is in my Comodo internet security premium software!
This problem started around the time I installed the Comodo software .. weeks ago.
Every time I go through the above steps and terminate the unknown software and return to the desktop .. I get the message that my pc might be at risk (Comodo message) and I have to update the Signature base. Everytime!<--Whine
Could that above unknown software be part of the Comodo software which in turn causes the problem?
If so .. Maybe I should get rid of Comodo 'because' .. All I am doing is reloading the problematic unknown software (Signature definitions)?
The problem doesn't happen All the time but enough that I want to Whine a lot about it!
Any ideas would be MUCH appreciated!/<--Whine /Rambling
