I own a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 (factory installed), which was purchased in 2010.
Performance Tools gives me just one error message: AMD multi-vendor Miniport driver (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 series) is interfering with Windows resuming from sleep mode. When I check ‘drivers,’ it’s working right. According to the event log, this driver is the least of my problems. The real culprits are a host of apps, drivers, and services. Thanks to them, my laptop has experienced boot and standby degradation for a month or two now. I don’t know what to do. This morning, even Microsoft Word 2007 and ‘computer’ (libraries) started slowly.
Applications: MOM, CCC, machine policy, McAfee, HomeNetSvc, Dropbox, Explorer [etc]
Drivers: Ethernet controller, wireless LAN, plug and play, CD-ROM, RAS L2TP, AMD Miniport, PPP framing, HD audio bus, NT driver, USB miniport [etc]
Services: audiosrv, Lanman workstation, superfetch, svc host, mcproxy, themes, profsvc [etc]
I also have a problem with shutdown. Windows Media Player works correctly when I play music (mp3 files) on my hard drive. However, after I play and then eject a DVD, WMP stops working altogether. Ending the program via task manager never works. This program prevents my laptop from shutting down correctly (i.e. at all). I have to shut down manually. HELP!
