  • Vista wireless slowed after Windows update

    The operation wireless computer laptop HP Pavilion of my wife was slower than fishing for a month of October or November Vista update.  He was always pretty slow but now is horrible.  I tried many fixes, updates to the wireless card, hit the Max performance and played with several ideas for changing the configuration.  None have seemed help so I reset the settings before configuration changes.  I have no option to reset to get back before the update.

    LAN works fast and the internet connection is good.  A portable older IBM using XP smoke HP in wireless mode.
    Thanks to all the ideas?

    Hello

    Sorry for the late reply. From your description, it seems that your wireless network connection is too slow since the installation of Windows updates. It is difficult to manage when things do not work as expected.

    • Do you know what update has been installed?

    Since you've already tried to fix the problem, I think can help to uninstall and reinstall the wireless network drivers. To do this, follow these steps.

    1. Click Start and then type devmgmt.mscand press enter. The Device Manager window opens.
    2. Expand network adapter.
    3. Right-click on the wireless network card, and then select Uninstall.
    4. Restart the computer.
    5. Download and install the latest drivers wireless on the manufacturer's Web site.

    Also, see this article for your reference. If the problem persists, please respond so we can search for other opportunities.

    Thank you

  • Windows 8 Pro boots slow after windows updates

    I have a PC I built a year ago to game, and I've recently updated to Windows 8 by formatting the hard drive and installing Windows 8 Pro OEM on my gaming PC. I installed the OEM version, because I had to get a new drive hard that had nothing installed on it and it needed a new operating system installed on it. It worked fine on Windows 8 for some time, about a month, until I installed updates to Windows that were made available, and after they have been installed, the next time that I turned off and turned on my PC, the startup was significantly longer than the last time. It doesn't when I start now it goes to the black screen with the clear blue windows symbol, but the circle dotted which indicates that initialization is in progress is going much more slowly than before until I installed updates to Windows. It takes about 5 to 8 minutes to start now, where it used to take about 10-15 seconds before start. I checked all my gear and this is very good, and I even ran chkdsk /r and sfc/scannow to check errors of software in a command prompt, but nothing is. Nothing else happens when it doesn't start, another that it starts more slowly than before, no error screens or messages. My computer does not have problems to start, especially for my equipment I have, which is upscale, since this is a gaming PC, compared with the normal work or personal computers, and like I said before, it used to start very well until the last group of windows updates.

    Here are the specs
    Tough - 1 TB SATA 7200 RPM drive
    CPU - AMD FX-4100 Quad Core 3.6 GHz
    GPU - AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5
    Power supply - 600W
    Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2

    Someone at - it solutions, or everyone knows these same questions? I would like to solve this, because it's a huge disadvantage to wait 5 minutes for a simple boot. I don't know what update is causing this, I installed several updates of the same day.

    Hi Brett,

    I suggest to refer to the article and follow the steps to improve performance on Windows 8 computers:

  • Computer beep after Windows Update

    I recently used the windows update as usual and the next time I tried to turn on my desktop computer would not work.  When I turn it on there is no light on the keyboard and no signal on the screen.  A long beep sounds in seconds and repeats itself again and again.  The computer won't do anything else.  Can anyone help?

    Fingsey,
    What you hear is called everything a simply "beep code", and this indicates a problem with your hardware.  Basically, your PC is not able to start even to the point of making the BIOS.  This happens usually when there is a problem with your RAM, but can also be caused by an error of CPU or a problem on the motherboard.  You will need to contact the computer manufacturer to find out what the beep code and how to correctly resolve the hardware error.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 very slow after Windows update 10

    I have recently upgraded ("retired") on the windows 10 and met with a multitude of problems with the programs I had installed before the upgrade.

    Unfortunately, after about a week of race successfully dreamweaver cs5 I ran into a major issue. There are currently about 45 seconds in my cursor and the text as he tried to use dreamweaver. I update all the current drivers for dreamweaver cs5, but this has not solved the problem. Some things to note:

    I currently have 8 GB of RAM, and the system tells me that I'm using about 1/3 of it.

    I have a 4960 k 3.5 ghz i5 processor

    Graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD series 7900 / 3 gb

    I also have dreamweaver and the operating system installed on a SSD

    Please let me know if you have any suggestions or if you have had similar problems. I understand the CS5 is an older version of Adobe, but it worked fine for about a week before another windows 10 run updates.

    In order to not - where the issue seems to have been resolved. The only thing I changed was my fps graphics card to the max of what I had already done but it seems that it has not applied the first time around.

    Not sure if this has actually resolved anything but dreamweaver seems to work a lot better now.

  • Good question after Windows update on Satellite P100 PSPA3E

    I encountered a problem with my sound card after a Windows Update. It became an old analog tuner with problems of dust on his volume knob. (this is a reference "sounds like" for those old enough to remember) I updated the driver to the most recent DriverGuide.com, no joy.

    I even did a complete system restore "with the"product restore disk."" Which fixed the problem until Windows updated the right files for trash again. I don't know what files do the dirty on my card since most of the windows system updates are performed while I "continue to work! Anyone with ideas?

    Thank you

    JD

    Hello

    What operating system do you use? XP or Vista?

    Satellite P100 PSPA3E must use a sound chip Intel high definition audio Conexant CX20551-22.

    I recommend to remove the sound card in Device Manager after installing Windows updates.
    Then restart the computer and install the latest audio drivers available that support the sound chip HD Conexant CX20551-22.

    First of all, you should try to use the driver for the Toshiba page. If this does not work, check the Intel page!
    Please don t forget to restart the laptop after windows update finished.

  • Problems after Windows Update on Vista wireless

    It seems that other people have a similar problem, but I'll post this new...
    I've been running Windows Vista Ultimate on my Toshiba laptop for years without any problems.  Earlier this year, I started seeing issues after Windows updates.  The main problem is that after updates Windows, my wireless network is is more noticed and the wireless card (which was installed on the computer, and never had problems before) is not recognized.  I manually installed updated drivers with no luck.  The only thing that has worked is to do a system restore to a point before the updates.  The problem seems to be related to an update in general, I can't uninstall.

    I find it extremely ironic that I have no problems with Vista until Windows 7 is launched. First of all, it's the wireless card, then a problem with a driver graphics card (apparently... which seems to be fixed now) and return to the wireless card.  Should I expect to continue to have problems unless I upgrade to Windows 7?  I can't continue to spend half of my day trying to fix my computer after an update that is supposed to fix the errors, but I don't like the feeling that I am forced to upgrade.

    Hi dabaum77,

    From your post, it seems that the issue was occurring when Windows updates are installed automatically again even after the restoration of the system and that is why I suggest to restore the system again to a point before the updates and download and install Windows updates manually.

     
    Access the link below
    Follow these steps to disable the automatic updates:
     
    1. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    2. in the left pane, click on change settings.
    3. under important updates, choose the option you want.
    4. under recommended updates, select the Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates check box, and then click OK. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Install the updates one by one and check the update is causing the problem to occur. If the problem persists due to a particular update, repeat the process and refrain from settling the problem causing the update to.

    You can also check the update problem in Windows Update history.
     
    Follow the steps to check which day caused the issue:
     
    1. open the control panel (all items view), and click the Windows Update icon.
       
    2. click on the link to view update history.
      
    3. to view the details of a single Windows Update-
    (A) select and right-click on a Windows Update list, and then click details.

    (B) click on close when finished.
     
     
    You can also uninstall the update that is causing the problem to occur, although it is not recommended.
     
    1. to uninstall a Windows Update, you must go to programs and features. There are several ways to find it. One of the simplest is to use the search box on the start menu.
     

    2. in the programs and features, click the link updates installed.
     

     
    3. after a few seconds, Windows Vista will load the list of installed updates. Scroll down the page until you find the update you want to delete, select it with the mouse and then click on uninstall.
     

     
    4. Windows Vista will ask you to confirm that you want to uninstall the update you selected. Click Yes and the uninstall process will begin.
     

     
    5 depending on the size of the update, the uninstall process may take from several seconds to several minutes.
     


    6. wait for the window above will disappear and, if necessary, restart your PC. The update is now deleted.

    Hello

    This can help you:

    1. If you are using Norton, you should disable Norton inviolable Protection before using the system restore.

    And some information for you about Windows updates:

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:
