Computer a real slow HELP Please!

I use vista and had a problem on the computer (don't turn off either) so I removed the battery when you restart it suggested do us a system restore.  The computer will try to do the restore, but we continue to a message that the restoration could not be completed.  The computer has become incredibly slow since that time and makes us crazy.  I did virus analyses and also the analysis of malware and have been unable to find anything wrong. (we defrag and cleaned the files nothing helped).  Can someone please.  Thank you, Laurie

===========================================

Vista and Windows 7 the love of the updated drivers that can drastically affect the performance so I would update the main
drivers.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
(Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
manually if you wish.

    There is no single simple answer to optimize performance.

    However, you can usually improve performance by learning how to use cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix and they often give the biggest improvement with the least effort.

  • moving data from Thunderbird to a new computer did not work - help, please!

    I - I hope! -followed all instructions Support of Thunderbird on moving a profile from one computer to another with a different OS (save a copy of the profile of the first computer file, download and install TB on the new computer, find the 'Profile' folder and then either paste the contents of the old profile file in the new profile file [thus overwrite the latter]) then open TB... but it didn't work.

    I then tried the same thing, but with a slightly different method: I copied the name of the new profile file, he has given the profile of the old computer file, then renamed the new file profile and pasted the old profile file - now with the new designation - in the new directory... which also did not work.

    I spent a few hours trying to get this to work and am almost to the point of giving up on tuberculosis as an e-mail.

    Any help would be welcome!

    Hi, Matt;

    Thank you for your continued support - I appreciate it!

    Yesterday, I downloaded the command-line tool dbx to eml unless you had kindly recommended (at http://code.google.com/p/undbx/ ), and, as I had supposed, its function is to do what OE itself can only do by email - that is, convert a .dbx .eml format - but do it by folder, records forever, which is much more elegant.

    The tool dbx to eml was very easy to download and use, and I could ask him to convert all my files at once (which is equivalent to more than 50 records and hundreds of emails). He did a great job, and I was able to identify the location of the output directory that results anywhere I wanted.

    Because the tool dbx to eml records records converted to any specified location, one can then import them into Thunderbird Thunderbird either on the same or another computer.

    I wanted to spend all my email OE to a new computer (which involves a passage from XP to Windows 7), and, in my case, it was easy to do because I have two computers connected by a network (intranet) data drives: after you convert all the OE dbx eml files, I went to my new computer to Thunderbird instance and , using the add-on for Thunderbird Import-ExportTools (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/), I simply imported saved eml files, one at a time. It has worked flawlessly.

    In a situation in which two computers were not connected by a network, we could easily save the eml on a USB output directory and have computer of the new Thunderbird import eml from this location.

    I would also add that this dbx to eml command-line tool is supposed to also function as a current backup utility: it begs for find and convert new files later in OE, and it only will not do, but is also their corresponding folders in the original output folder, if they exist from a previous operation.

    I still have to import all my newly created on my Windows 7 Thunderbird eml files, but - so far - it seems like it should work smoothly.

    Based on the different methods I did research - and the few that I actually tried - has my reviews, so far, is that using the tool of command line without dbx-to-eml, at http://code.google.com/p/undbx/ , is the way simpler and more reliable to move files from email Outlook Express - within their corresponding e-mail folders - to Thunderbird , either the same or different computers.

    It would be nice if Mozilla could try this method for themselves, and - if they are to find it as infallible, as I - promote this as one of the first methods to use to move electronic mail Outlook Express to Thunderbird. It others will save a lot of time and frustration.

    Matt - your kind and generous support made it happen: thanks!

  • Computer running real slow

    I have Windows XP and can not find updates for it. Saw a link that says that XP would not be supported after 11/07/2010. I can't launch IE w/o it bogged down and searched all updates at once and found nothing. Had the same problem on another computer running Windows 7, has been able to find updates and works fine now.

    Take a look in the system and Application logs in the errors and warnings event viewer and post here the copies. Do not post on that more than 48 hours ago.

    You can access event viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, and Event Viewer. When searching for the meaning of the error, information about the event ID, Source and Description are important.

    A tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. You will see a button resembling two pages. Click on the button and close Event Viewer. This places a copy of the report to your Clipboard. Paste it into the body of your message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

    I have a newer computer with 4 GB of ram and a dual core cpu. I am running Vista and you have two computers that are connected to a router. The other two computers get high-speed internet, but the Vista computer gets half of what gives me my ISP. I have a connection of optical fiber with download 40Mbps. speed I 39Mbps on two XP systems but the Vista I get 17-20Mbps.

    I scanned for viruses and the computer is clean, I updated the drivers ethernet, the firmware on the router and I changed the connection cables. Nothing has helped to increase the speed or performance. Any ideas? Help, please!

    Thanks for the replies!

    I already tried all the foregoing, but yesterday, I found two culprits. 1 I have updated to SP2 for Vista and my speedtest went up to 25/40Mbps, but the main culprit was Norton 360... Even though I disabled the program (Firewall/AV) I looked again in the application and noticed that garbage online backup, they've added was technically on but set to "manual". After you completely disable the full online backup feature, I did another test of speed through my ISP and got 39.7Mbps!
    I am happy again! Thanks again for the help.

  • message is low virtual memory. Computer is very slow. HELP, please.

    message says lack of virtual memory.

    Computer is very slow

    Hi NorrisCecil,

    ·         Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·         You did it all changes before the show?

    If you receive warnings that virtual memory is low, you need to increase the minimum size of your pagefile. Windows sets the initial minimum size of the paging file to the RAM memory (RAM) installed on your computer plus 300 megabytes (MB) and maximum size of 3 times the amount of RAM installed on your computer.

    If you see warnings at these recommended levels, and then increase the minimum and maximum sizes.

    a. click Start, right click my computerand then click Properties.

    b. in the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

    (c) in the results pane, click settings.

    d. in the Performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab.

    e. in the virtual memory section, click change.

    f. change the value of initial size and maximum size to a higher value value, click the value, and then click OK.

    g. click OK to close the Performance Options dialog box and then click OK to close the System Properties dialog box.
