Hello

You did changes to the computer before this problem?

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

1. click on start and then click Run.
2. type msconfig and click OK.
The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    Hi, I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A100. In general, I'm very happy with it, but I find it very slow especially at startup. It may take more than 5 minutes to be completely started.

  • Lenovo Ideapad Y560 very slow just after the start

    Hello!

    I have a weird problem with my laptop Ideapad Y560 (2 years). I was wondering if any of you have a similar problem and looking for a possible solution.

    As soon as I start the laptop (either), it is very slow for the first 3-4 minutes. Nothing to really works or opens, it hangs for a while and runs my entries of keyboard and mouse with a considerable delay. After this period of 3-4 minutes, it works perfectly fine, also responds well/crisp as the lappy was brand new. I can't understand why he behaves in this way.

    I almost never stop the laptop and generally just put it to sleep. However, I have this problem (as described above) if I turn on the lappy a stop or a State of sleep also. Anyone seen this before? Could someone please suggest possible solutions? Any help is very appreciated! Thank you!

  • I downloaded 8.1 on my iPad a few months ago and it has become very slow especially in the e-mail program and glitch

    I have an iPad mini version 9.02. a few months ago, I downloaded the latest operating system from Apple 8.1 and my iPad became very slow and glitchy especially in the e-mail software... What can I do?  Now it asks me to upgrade to iOS 9.1 and I fear that it will be even worse.

    Sorry - but what do you mean you have an iPad Mini version 9.02? What are your reference when citing 9.02?

    At this point, your best bet is to keep the device up to date. The latest version of iOS is 9.2. It's what you could be upgraded to.

    Recently, I downloaded El Capitan...

    Now my computer is very slow - trudging-

    Have seen several Beach - unprecedented balls - in my life.

    Have been read the tips of Apple Support Mess - you are looking for a simple solution.

    I have baby steps and delete cookies... organized files and photos...

    Nothing helps.

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is particularly bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Run the Console application in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

    in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

    List of newspapers seen ▹ display

    in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

    Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Highlight date back to the time you noted above.

    Select the messages entered since then until the end of the episode, or until they begin to repeat, whichever comes first.

    Copy messages to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

    The journal contains a large amount of information, almost all this is useless to solve any particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

    Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.

    Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.

    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    When you post the journal excerpt, an error message may appear on the web page: "you include content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters."

    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.
