  • Satellite S500-10F - slowed down and need BIOS update

    Hello, I would like to know if anyone can help.

    I work for a Borough Council IT Department, so it is quite safe to say that I know a fair bit on THIS and the side material things. We had an about 12 laptops Toshiba Satellite S500 delivered, 11 x S500 - 11 c and 1 x S500-10F. As we do not yet support windows 7 so he must rebuild in Windows XP, install the drivers etc, and send them to schools.

    All S500 - 11 c were built and work without any problem at all. The only difference I see is that the model 10F doesn't have bluetooth so that the model 11 c. Model 10F take image ghost, created from the 11 c, but he likes to be restart every 5 minutes approximately and is extremely slow.

    So I rebuilt the model 10F using our licenses CD XP SP3 Microsoft and started to install drivers etc. When I installed the software of card reader Ricoh the laptop again slowed down (about 5 minutes to start Windows). I used to have a similar problem with a model on the A300 range and I've updated the BIOS which cured the problem. I downloaded the one and only BIOS update on the Toshiba site for the S500 and when I want intsaller, he returned with a message that says "this computer is is not supported.

    If someone at Toshiba can tell me where I can get an update of the BIOS that works for my S500-10F or indeed why my system slowed down to a snails pace after having installed the Ricoh card reader software I would be very grateful. I removed the software and now and disabled without success card reader devices.

    Thank you very much

    Warren Poole

    I can see for this Satellite Pro model 2 drivers are available. The second is O2Micro controller version 1.1.4.207 card reader.

    Hello.

    It is possible that it was by force the windows closed so your firefox which makes you forget... Have you tried to crash your Firefox to see if the session is not restored?

    To plant your Firefox, simply there open, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and then, on the process tab in the window that appears, complete the process firefox.exe. That will force Firefox to close at this moment. Do start again. If it works, ok, so it may have been a case isolate. My recommendation is to configure your windows does not install updates without your intervention. Choose something like 'ask me what to do' or something like that.

  • Why my computer slows down

    09 August to the a few weeks ago, I had a modem for internet on my computer. As we know, dialup is very slow. But a few weeks ago I had my digital internet on and things have accelerated. But I'm having a problem with some Web pages. It seems that whenever I try to open more than 1 page, or I come to a page that has a lot of objects in motion on it, everything slows to a crawl. I used to now have this problem when I had internet faster before. I downloaded the latest versions of Adobe Flash player, shockwave last, more recent readers Real and Quicktime, and yet my computer slows down. I need to update any other thing or what? Or I did my updates get corrupted when I had access to remote and if yes, how to say? Thank you

    Hi miles,

    I want to start by saying that all the options of the Internet high speed are not equal. You could see the right speed for the connection you have.

    But... There are a few things we can look at to make sure that your system runs as quickly as possible. Your system seems to work "eye catching" or "flange" in its use of local emissions? :-)

    Let start by resetting IE to default values and to see where we are.

    Close IE, print or copy these suggestions...
    Click on START and type > Internet options > press enter
    On the general tab, click on delete... > default options should be good for this. Click on delete.
    When you are finished, click the Advanced tab. Under reset Internet Explorer settings section, press the Reset... button.
    In the tab programs, click on Manage Add-ons
    Disable toolbars like MSN or Google. Toolbars are known to cause problems.

    Launch IE and give it a go and let us know what happens. Mark <> Microsoft Partner

    All of a sudden my computer does not connect to my HP Laserjet 1000 printer. These work very well together for several years.

    Now all of a sudden I get a message that the computer cable is not connected.  I tried to charge the printer program.

    I unplugged and reconnect the cable to the computer, etc.. The system does not work.

    I learn by two other people, who have automatic updates of Windows, they had the same problem. We have a Kodak

    printer and the other has a Lexmark printer. This makes me think that the problem is in the updates of Windows.

    So, what should I do to fix this? I'm NOT a computer person and I'm confused.

  • Lightroom CC/6.3 slow down with use

    Hi all

    I have searched the forum and read many responses and tried a number of proposed solutions and am coming at the end of my tether. My voice can be added to the chorus of 'Lightroom CC short miserably slow'. For me in the past few days the specific problem that was after about 10-15 minutes of use LR slows down and becomes unstable, requiring a Windows 'end of task"command. This happened earlier while I was working in the library module, re-keywording within a collection that contains about 500 photos. Selection of about 20 photos and remove them from the collection set LR kneeling. Other operations that cause slowdowns are publish and export measures. But even during the selection of 3 or 4 pictures in order to apply the keywords a second ago or two of delay before the photo is selected, even when I just started LR - and the longest LR is open, the slower, he gets. It's AGONIZING.

    Here are the facts on my system:

    Version of Lightroom: CC 2015.3 [1052427]

    Operating system: Windows 10

    System architecture: x 64

    Number of logical CPUs: 4

    Processor speed: 3.4 GHz (i5)

    Built-in memory: 12173,8 MB

    Real memory for Lightroom: 12173,8 MB

    Real memory used by Lightroom: 898,3 MB (7.3%)

    Memory cache size: 0.0 MB

    Maximum thread count used by Camera Raw: 4

    Camera Raw SIMD optimization: SSE2, AVX

    System DPI setting: 96 DPI

    Composition of the Bureau enabled: Yes

    Exhibition: 1) 1920 x 1200, 2) 1680 x 1050

    Graphic processor Info: AMD Radeon HD 7700

    Check the supported OpenGL: past

    Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.

    Version: 3.3.13416 context 15.300.1025.1001 the base profile

    Renderer: AMD Radeon R7 200 series

    • My boot drive is an SSD, but also the drive on which is installed the Lightroom and the catalogue
    • The LR SSD has a free space (more than 170 GB)
    • My main catalogue contains about 43000 pictures and the size of the catalog file is 1.4 GB
    • All my photos are on an array of Raid 2 - internal HD (with enough free space)
    • I optimized my catalog (several times!)
    • I deleted the folder preview.lrdata and rebuilt
    • Turn on/off the GPU support has no effect
    • The anti-virus does not scan photos or albums in Lightroom
    • None of my catalog photo places in the records accessed by Microsoft OneDrive or other synchronization services
    • My LR cache size is set to 40 GB

    Now, I know that I don't have the latest graphics card or the fastest system, but I know that under Windows 8/LR 5.x, I didn't have these problems. And I don't mean the develop module - my problems are mostly in the library module in what one might think are simple: scrolling, selection and Keywords.

    If there's something I forgot I would be happy to advice. Above all, I want to just Adobe to read and know that there is one more dissatisfied customer out there who is dying just for the fixed program.

    Cheers, Sara
