Delay before start-up.

When I turn on my PC it takes forever to start the boot process. First time was a few minutes but now she grew to 4 hours! Problem worsened gradually in recent weeks. Can someone help, please?

I hang fire on running chkdsk. You have to do other things before attempting to fix your computer.

What exactly do you have to the top and how did you do?

What email program are you using?

You have the means to reinstall all the programs that you use regularly?

  • 15 + minute delay before start-up

    Hey people,

    My Info: I am running Vista Ultimate 32 bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200 Tablet machine.

    My problem: it is pretty well summed up by the title to my son: restart or turn on my computer, the power light comes on, but wait at least 15 minutes before starting the system. Once it starts booting, everything works smoothly.

    It all started when I used the blue ThinkVantage button on my ThinkPad (Lenovo users will know what I mean, it's basically Lenovo system maintenance tool) to download updates for my machine, including some BIOS stuff.  I'm suspicious that this has to do with my BIOS, but I wanted to hear what you guys have to say before I start shooting around my BIOS.

    I could really use some help here, I'm more frustrated.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, and I apologize if this isn't the right place to put this.  I tried Lenovo support forums and got no help, and I really don't want to spend the money it will take to Geek Squad or similar to fix.

    Thank you

    Chris

    Finally, I solved the problem.

    As it turns out, what I thought was a problem unrelated to finish up being the root for this cause.

    After booting, I get the warning: "there was a problem connecting to the module of TPM (safety device) on this computer.  It is possible that the software anti-virus or firewall is blocking the connection.  A missing or disabled device driver can also cause this problem.  Please refer to the online documentation for more information. »

    It turned out that when I've updated my BIOS, one of the security programs that initialize during startup until was not updated correctly.

    Fix: go to the Lenovo Web site and update the Client Security Solution.  This one worked for me: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-69959.

  • really long delay before rendering starts?

    I have this ongoing problem (CC2014) where there is a long delay before rendering starts. Nothing fancy or heavy, no effect, MacPro/Yosemite/64 GB of ram, made to the internal SSD flash drive. Sometimes I see a 2, 3, 4, 5 minute delay before construction starts, then my comps short and simple, restore in seconds. Just AE text, shape layers and files placed. No business network, no other applications running.

    Any ideas?

    Mike

    If you use multiprocessing, turn it off & see what happens.  If the time-out period goes away, you may need to reassign your processors & memory for multiprocessing in the AE preferences.

    And it never hurts to purge the memory & cache before a final.

  • Portege R600-12Z long delay of start & does not recognize DVD dirve

    I have been using my Portege R600 running windows XP for about 14 months now and recently FOUND that he began to take 1 to 2 minute wait before starting the sequence start or resumption after hibernation. Now, I have discovered that the DVD drive (5100 DVD - RW supermulti drive) does not work: in the Device Manager it shows as unable to start; If I try to boot from the drive of CD/DVD (F8 at first upward, or the definition of the boot priority) it does not take into account the CD and eventually get to the start of the HARD drive in any case. At the same time, the reader is actually superimposed a disc (it will open and close and will try to read any disc inserted). I've updated the bios (3.20) and all the drivers concerned I can find (although none seems to be specific for this drive). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I should also mention that this replaced R600 actually an another R600 (one of the earlier and more fragile versions) on which I had exactly the same problem after about 10 months. I just unluckly, or is this a weakness of the R600 line?

    PMR thanks for your comments.

  • How can I get the read head to return to the location, it's immediately before starting playback. This used to be a preference but I don't find it in the latest version of logic.

    How can I get the read head to return to the location, it's immediately before starting playback. This used to be a preference but I don't find it in the latest version of logic. What I want to do is; Once playback is stopped the playhead returns to the previous starting position. Where is the setting for this? Is it still an option that I can find nothing in the online help.

  • Error when you try to publish movies with Windows Movie Maker: another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computer. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again.

    Movie Maker will not film because of "another user is running Movie Maker on this computor... publish »

    I'm trying to publish a movie on this computor in Windows Movie Maker. The files are .wmv with a band his .wav and are all stored on my computor. I performed this task with success several times and there is enough free space on the computor.

    When I click on publish, there are a few seconds where he tries to publish, but then the program goes into a gel and the dialog box appears with the following: "another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computor. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again".

    When I click Close, there is an icon of wmv on my desk with the title of my project, but it is empty. I am the only user on this computor and I am puzzled as to why this should be implemented. I tried to turn the filters but nothing helped. One thing that I tried was to publish the band sound and the titles and credits without video files and I found it worked.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you Volenteer J. How would you like to know if a .wmv file is corrupt? Is there something I can do to click the .wmv files that tell me if they are corrupt? I need to identify the files that are causing my problem.

    ==================================================
    Sorry... but it seems that I have more questions than answers.

    You said initially that you could publish the soundtrack and titles with success...
    I was wondering if you tried to add a .wmv file to see if you could publish?

    What was the source of the. WMV files? They are all from the same source?

    They were converted from another format? If_Yes_ maybe another
    Converter would be worth a try.

    You change them widely? (split, rotation, transitions...)

    There is a possibility that you could import the Windows Media .wmv files
    Encoder and convert them to... .WMV to .wmv. Seems pointless, I know...
    but it would create a new .version of the. WMV files and can fix that
    perhaps never the problem.

  • Several considerations are I/O to the vm to go back to the last snapshot before starting mass?

    We have an environment Vsphere 4 with 8 hosts esxi by cluster.  In this group, we have a 512 GB which holds all the linked clones and master vms data store.  This is of course a test environment...

    We need to start to 30 virtual machines both to perform automated tests.  In the past these 30 vms would be quick and easy start without problems.  Recently, we have begun saying the vms (via vmware API) to restore the vms to the last snapshot system before starting.  This has made the EXTREMELY long vm startup process and we cause problems.

    So, I guess that going back to the last snapshot is whats is the problem?  My questions are:

    (1) correct, it's the instant return the cause?

    (2) indeed, what happens when you start a virtual machine and it loses any changes is when the last on and just comes back?

    (3) is it just kill our I/O?  What else does?

    If it is a problem of e/s SAN then I can look at to balance our load LUNS, etc. but first, I need to know what is happening under the hood to properly address this.  Is there another method to reach our ultimate goal without causing such performance issues?

    Yes, it's what I would say.  Spread your VM snapshot across different data warehouses as much as possible, who can help with your distribution of IO.

    Lacking that, I can't see much else you can do.  Given your criteria for the scripts, and a simpler approach, I see your point to keep things simple and unified.  I have a better solution for you.

  • The delay between starting the virtual machine folder.

    I used some teams a lot in workstation 7, but in work stations, 8, they were replaced by folders.

    One of the great thing about the teams has been the ability to control the delay between the start of virtual machines.

    8 I can only find a general option under change preferences in my computer. I gues the only way around is the starting order of script or is there an option that I missed?

    According to an analysis last week of one of the developers of VMware, yes - scripting is the best answer.  He said that the old method of delay the start was not exactly accurate anyway and recommended script.

  • Video Flash on a web page takes a long time to load before starting playback

    I just create a standard file to flash to play a video on my web page and it takes several minutes to load before starting playback.

    I use progressive downlaod and the file is in MOV format and is 84MB in size. Initially, that seemed big to me for web playback, but I thought he could handle because I thought how progressive download is that she start playing the first image immediately and play gradually other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading all folder first (or a significant part of it) before you start any reading at all.

    Y at - it some sort of setting I am missing or is my incorrect understanding of the download and the file size is too large?

    Vital signs:

    -J' using Flash Pro CS5

    -To create my flash file, I used the video wizard block import and selected a file that is "on my computer" and 'load external video with playback component' and then I chose one of the standard skins.

    -To deploy the vidoe on my site, I have three files:

    (1) swf file containing the FLV component

    (2) the swf file, for skin

    (3) the actual video (84 MB, mov file)

    -Web page includes / includes reference to the swf file

    As the video is a QuickTime .mov file, the problem is probably that the MOOV atom is at the end of the file. It is an index file that contains a measure of the size of the file is. Given that this index file is at the end, the entire file must download before the player can say what the file size is compared to how much is already downloaded.

    Use a program like Index Swapper to move the index file at the beginning of the video file:

  • a long delay before video begins to play, remote only

    Hello

    My problem is that there is a long delay before that we can see the beginning of the video when connect us to the server from a long distance.

    When I connect from the same subnet, it's ok: less than 1 second.

    When I connect to a nearby location (2 km from here) the delay is 15 seconds

    When people connect to places very far away, it can be 2 minutes or sometimes the video does not play.

    y at - it a parameter to change this?

    Thanks for help.

    This Protocol is being negotiated in different places? RTMP, rtmpt, rtmpe, rtmps?

    I guess you have a proxy server or a firewall in place which prevents the default rtmp connection (using port 1935) put in place and the logical kicking of retry in and subsequently another protocol or port is finally working.

  • Delay before pre-loader

    Hello to you all,.

    Loading my sites are there is a delay before the pre-loader begins. At the moment the pre-loader appears it is usually 3/4 finished. I had a few comments such as "your site does not work. People don't see the charger immediately so they leave the site, assuming that it does not work. I looked in the forums to answer, but no luck. When I check the other sites before Chargers appear immediately.
    Here's the code.

    Framework 1

    bytes_loaded = Math.round (this.getBytesLoaded ());
    bytes_total = Math.round (this.getBytesTotal ());
    getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
    this.loadBar._width = getPercent * 100;
    this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100) + '% ';
    If (bytes_loaded, bytes_total)) {}
    this.gotoAndPlay (3);
    }

    You use components in your program? If so, this could be the
    the source of your problem. By default, the components are exported in frame 1 and
    the delay that you experience may be due to the load of the components.

  • Why Windows 8 have a long delay before the launch of startup programs

    In Windows 8 there is a long enough period for the launch of the programs in the startup folder or in the register as startup items. Why is this? And how can I remove or reduce the delay? Please note that this is not a problem with too many programs trying to launch. There is that one program listed on startup with a new installation of Windows 8 and the system is running on an SSD. It's so clear and deliberate, time not only a slow system.

    Reading this thread, I just want to point that Microsoft quality replies here, it's horrible, beyond and Microsoft should be embarrassed to make them like that in public. I recommend delete them all and by publishing an adequate solution.

    Reminder: The OP says that he is a clean install. They moved just a program in the startup folder and they're asking why - this delay, indicating precisely is not a slow computer. The advice they get is:

    -Run the diagnostic system

    -Start in Safe Mode

    Hello? This is a clean install! Of course, none of this assistance.

    What actually happened is that there is, as the OP stated, before advisement in Windows 8 delay as all the start-up programs are executed.

    It can be flown in the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Serialize\Startupdelayinmsec in the registry (including the set to 0, then the programs are executed immediately).

    It is the response that should come from Microsoft. Everything else is a rubbish - model answers that everyone make Microsoft look green, as if they a) don't know their own product and b) don't care even clients who need assistance.

    The Bing team should also be ashamed of this site as their best result. Google does not work.
