Guest Guest_BDwinsAlt_* Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 jup, and still not working I can send you a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro if you don't have it already. Continuum has worked fine for me on Windows 98/98SE/ME/XP Home/XP Pro. I has SP-2 on the last 2. I did not have to add exceptions in the firewall to run continuum. Have you reformatted in the past? Maybe a video driver is missing or something. Check your device manager and be sure all your devices are installed correctly. Also if you had continuum running at one point, you could have screwed something up in the options. Since unintalling continuum will not delete all the registry values, delete them after you uninstall continuum. Reboot, install continuum and see if you get the same errors. It probably wouldn't hurt to reformat anyways,
Guest sg Posted April 19, 2006 Report Posted April 19, 2006 Not that it's a crippler or anything, but the same thing's been happening to me. SS worked fine little over a week ago (as of 19APR06). No new programs, no spyware or trojans, nothing at all. This week, I try to load SS and the comp just sits there. Bringing up the task manager shows "Continuum039pr1" starting and stopping; spiking cpu usage like no tomorrow. Can't click on it fast enough to kill the process; have to do a command line kill. I will straight be !@#$%^&*ed if I'm doing a reinstall of windows now. I've looked into this problem for a couple of days and it's just a vicious circle of nobody knows what's happening. I've updated vid drivers, directx, done virus and spyware sweeps just to be sure, unistalled questionable programs.. it all comes back negative. Nothing outside of have-to processes are running. !@#$%^&*, I even tried in safe mode with networking: nada. Tried uninstalling SS altogether, deleting registry trees related to SS, and reinstalling. Still nothing. It just seems very very strange that SS decides to jew up now. Why not before? I don't know. I'll keep you updated as to what I find. -a tool
Bargeld Posted April 19, 2006 Report Posted April 19, 2006 You can always sort the process list by name... that way it won't jump around when trying to kill it.
»SOS Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 I assume it gets unselected when the process dies and is removed from the list.
Guest Ginsant Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 i got the same problem as sg, also it started like a week ago. when i start continuum my computer just do nothing. a new fresh install of continuum does not help. i tried to install continuum on another computer at home... but no difference, still the same problem!
Guest the horny evil Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 so we all have the same problem(sg and ginsant) but we all dont know what to do at it im not a computerscientist but it must be fixable
Guest sg Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 Okay, now that is MAJORLY !@#$%^&*ed up. Deleted everything I could find in the registry with "continuum" in it. All keys and trees. Uninstalled every instance of SS (old and new). I was just about to make an .avi showing what it does, exactly, but instead of jewing up like it has been, it decided to work. So. What happened? I don't know. What'd I do to "fix" it? Don't know either. Perhaps try uninstalling Cont, going into the registry and deleting everything to do with "continuum"? I really don't know. I wound up getting this zip with all the files already put in their proper folders. Maybe it's got to do with the registry. Perhaps if yours is grossly big, as mine is, it jews up. I'd really like to figure this one out just so it doesn't happen to anyone again. Barg, it was starting and stopping. Didn't matter how it was arranged; name, PID, cpu usage.. didn't matter. It'd hop from one PID to another, basically opening and closing really really fast. Arranging by name would just make it sit there until it closed, then it would pop back on at the bottom. There was no way to kill it by task manager. -a tool
Guest Ginsant Posted April 24, 2006 Report Posted April 24, 2006 hmm, well i deleted all continuum files from my computer, cleaned out my registry, search the registry on continuum.but all this doesn't work with me. i prolly dont use the right keywords i guess.
