    Original title: help - csvhost.exe and problems to start

    My sons laptop has problems - try to turn on and it would maintain a black screen for a few seconds and then turned off and turn and repeat until I've done a hard stop.  I am able to navigate to the top after repeated attempts.  I could take a quick and complete hard drive test and it passed... Finally, I restored to factory and spent the last 8 hours going through the update process.  It works fine and restart without problems until recently - I followed the instructions to reboot to perform an update, but he had served in the "shutting down" mode for almost an hour I did a firm hard down.  It took a few attempts so he could begin after that, and when I did I had a message on the svchost.exe and thought that might have something to with him... found a site that has a download that is supposed to fix errors and am curious if that is recommended or whether there is another solution or possible make my misfortunes.  The site is: http://www.exe-error-advisor.com/svchost-exe.  I don't know what's happening - the computer works very well when it turns - to be fair, I did also made an update of "HP Total Care Advisor" who has nothing and after I rebooted I could not make it work...

  • My computer lag / freezes for a few seconds then starts to work again and get pop ups, I have never before.

    For example, while I am typing my computer freezes for a few seconds and I can't type or will not move the mouse. This lasts a few seconds but then starts to work again ok. This happens on every 10 minutes or so... enough to get on my nerves, especially at the time of the school. How can I fix? I also get a pop-up whenever I go to a new page. How can I stop this as well? I'd be so grateful for any help on this matter.

    Search for malware, and then run the cleaning as described below.

    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then

    Hi all

    See this video of drag and drop doesn't work does not in creative suite - YouTube https://youtu.be/QODs8fF84g4 that shows the problem.

It is a Windows 10 computer and I'm on their beta program, but drag and drop works fine in windows/creation/other applications.

    What this may be? It worked fine a month ago.

    I have had a look and it seems that your model does not use technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. However, I can cheat me so check your event log for the error I described in my first post. If you have cleared your newspapers, wait for the problem to appear once more and then check again. If you do not see the error that this correction will not help you (application do nothing other that add clutter to your registry).

    A bit of history...

    Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) added originally entered in the registry during installation. Since version 10, Intel changed the application to use the settings by default, embedded in the program - registry entries are no longer used by default. However, TSRI seems to check the entries and if necessary, he would use. The problem arises that if version 10 is a new installation and the default settings do not meet your equipment needs. When this is the case, you might well live temporary blockage. It wasn't a problem if you upgraded of course you would have entries in your registry database.

    The solution is to simply add the appropriate entries.

    It is an export of the Scriptures that I added:

    ----------------

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStor\Parameters]

    "BusType" = dword:00000003

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStor\Parameters\Port0]

    "LPM" = DWORD: 00000000

    "LPMSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000

    "MISCONDUCT" = DWORD: 00000000

    "LPMDSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStor\Parameters\Port1]

    "MISCONDUCT" = DWORD: 00000000

    "LPM" = DWORD: 00000000

    "LPMDSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000

    "LPMSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000

    ----------------

    Copy the lines between the '-' (but do not include them).

    Paste it into a text file and finally, change the .txt .reg file type

    Double-click the file and follow the instructions to add to the registry.

    Note that I have included the second entry (Port1) because I have a DVD player. Honestly, I don't know if I needed to do.

    You should try this? Well, that's a decision for you! You can do a bit of reading (or a lot!) on the Intel site to better understand.

    All I can really tell you is that I had the problem of gel (10 to 20 seconds or more) as well as the error in the log. After I made the registry changes I have * never * had a freezing episode since. Nor I have seen the error reappears in my journal.  My machine (M5-581TG) is lightning fast, so I'm more than happy that the fix has had no adverse effect.

    Finally, if you decide to give it a go, I'd say you first check your registry database, and if you can't find this entry, export them before you add mine so you can put back them if need be.

  • Touchpad not working not for a few seconds after I touch it with your finger, then a more...

    I already tried SMC and reset the PRAM, but who doesn't. I found someone with such a similar problem (Trackpad doesn't work sometimes on MBP after upgrade OS X 10.8.2)

    but the measures that seem to work for them do not work for me.

    Thus, as described in the title. the touchpad works very well as long as I just touching with a finger, so scrolling with two fingers or by changing desktop computers do not work. the mouse freezes for a few seconds after I hit with 2 fingers. After about 3 seconds it starts working again.

    If there is someone with the same problem let me know!

    My internet connection is lost at home after a few minutes. I stop the wifi, then turn it back on and it works again for a few minutes and then repeats. It works fine everywhere else?

    Please see recommended settings of WiFi routers and access Apple points.

    Despite these recommendations, some routers will work better with the latest Mac models if you turn the radio 2.4 GHz mode in settings and only use the 5 GHz. Note, however, that very old devices Apple and some third-party devices can then not connect at all.

    Some third party routers have advanced that you may need to change the settings:

    The encryption algorithm must be AES.

    The group key interval must be 3200.

    I can't give you specific instructions on how to change these settings, because all routers are different. Refer to the documentation for the provider.
