a corrupt registry will completely bring a (very slow) to its knees XP OS and the gives and error

My XP OS has become if slow is not convenient to use (it's completely unusable). In my view, that he was trying to install windows updates when this happened, but in fact, I'm not sure. I left him the other night and the next morning I went to him and it was like that. I ran a few top virus detections but does not show anything. I'm thinking then maybe it could be a corrupt registry?

Hi JerryB9,

As far as I know that a corrupt registry would cripple the system at a dead stop; It would not just start. Try to restore system using System Restore (preferably an hour before when you had an update). You can also run an application called Malwarebytes (www.malwarebytes.org) to see if you have malicious software that could be the cause of the problem.

  • My computer is VERY slow after upgrade to El Capitan, and especially after I have downloaded MS Office 2016

    After that I downloaded El Capitan, I was satisfied with the content and the speed for about a week. I did a clean install... After 2 weeks of use, I bought the MS Office 2016 and I think after that, I noticed a significant decrease in performance. I mean, like one where I want to throw my computer out the window about 100 times a day. Takes me 30 minutes to start the computer and perform a simple task like the connection to an account on the internet and missing his shot something. 30 minutes! A task that should take 30 seconds.

    I don't know where is the problem. I have a late 2008 Macbook Alu 2.4 GHz, 8 GB Ram, disk SSD (130 GB of free space) and the rest is the default value. Is there a solution, suggestion? Is it fair that my computer can't take El Capitan even with the plug I have, or are at - it something else?

    I have updated the BIOS and think I have updated all drivers wirelss, but could be the problem. It seems that wireless, software of management is at fault because the networks are detected, but not clinging.

    Any suggestion or tips to try will help save my sanity!

    Thanks for your help.

    > have updated the BIOS and think I have updated all drivers wirelss, but could be the problem.
    If you need to make sure that you use the latest WLan driver.
    The driver can be downloaded here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    The laptop uses the Realtek RTL8191SE of WLan card.
    Please also reset the settings of the Wlan router. I had a lot of problems with my WLan and after the reset of the router, performance problems disappeared.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones very slow CPU speed.

    We have two BB bold 9900, we're working very well the other has very slow response to each action. even using the touchpad to navigate a huge delays. We also get the small icon of black clock all the time. There are many cases when the process is never ending and he must remove the batteery to reset the phone. Any thoughts? Thank you.

    A battery pull is always recommended to take the first step.  You have done this, then I would jump straight to a reload of the OS.  Why are we so slow 9900 and the other is not?  I really have no reason for that, but the reload of the operating system is a good step to take.  Not to worry even upgrade to a newer version, sometimes the same reload OS will do (update if a new version is available is however also recommended).

    To do this, connect your phone to your PC and open BlackBerry Desktop Software.  Click on the device at the top of the software, then click on restore.  Load the last restore point.

    Let us know if that helps you.

  • Very slow view using OS x client for Windows 8 RDP

    I'm having a problem of strange performance to help the customer to view for OSX and connecting to a remote desktop in Windows 8. I'm the last side connections to the same remote workstations using a windows on the excellent work of the RDP client and client and server versions. No performance problems. I'm a bit at a loss as to what could be the issue.

    Context menus in Office remote work quickly but running programs, opening and closing of windows, etc. is very slow. No conflicts or hogging on the remote system, nor the client resources. All connections PCOIP or RDP sessions to other workstations (which are all Windows 7) work perfectly without any problems. Any help in troubleshooting is appreciated.

    Hello

    When connecting to the remote with the Protocol RDP of Mac View Client Desktop, it will use the image of high quality as a default value for the connection of the DRC. MS RDC app is a very old application, there is no new version for so long and there are no updates to improve the performance of this specific to the new Windows operating system (Win8/8.1/2012). Perhaps the reason for the performance on Windows 8 with the DRC issue.

    If you are using the RDP protocol client Mac view, please change display settings for the Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) first app. And then reconnect directly remote desktop via IP (without customer view) to check if the performance is somewhat improved.

    Menu at the top of the app DRC: DRC-> preferences-> display

    Try to change some parameters like the attached screenshot shown.

    If it works, you can replace the template file RDP for the Mac View Client app with steps below:

    1. download the attached template file ' vmware - view.rdp.

    2. copy and replace the file in the Applications/VMware view Horizon Client/Contents/Resources/vmware-view.rdp

    3. exit view Mac Client app

    4 restart Mac View Client and connect to Windows 8 desktop via RDP Protocol

    Thank you.
