    Windows Home vista 32 premium

    Hey Stella-50,

    How slow is slow? For example, my machine (e-machine E4264 2.2 ghz with 2 GB RAM) boots in 95 seconds. For me, I call it, in the average. I am currently in the process of looking for a new machine because it is already 3 years old, so maybe that OEN will be slightly faster to start.

    What you can 'turn off' will depend on which in fact initially launches upward and, unfortunately, you have not told us that at this moment. Is that you should not disable your anti software anti-virus (updater). nothing to do with your mouse and your keyboard etc.

    Perhaps, if you made a list of what application are actually being run at startup (via the msconfig Startup tab) can someone take a look at them and see if, or what can be disabled.

    Otherwise, you might take a glance at Startup Delayer http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay to see if you can delay the time different applications load to allow windows to start up more quickly. I haven't used so I can't say how good/bad it is.  It's a freeware.

    On Windows 2000 Professional SP4 o/s with IE 6, I am trying to locate any firewall, which can be on my system.  So far, I found none. I have not installed some.  I looked for answers on Microsoft.com (re: Windows XP has a built-in built in firewall is not enabled by default), but no information on Win2000Pro presenting one like that. Before the firewall issue, I thought that it may have been a virus or an anti-virus running program, causing a problem.  My pc is virus-free and I'm not now running an anti-virus program.  I have reset temporarily lower than usual security levels, but it was not the cure.  In addition, to exclude from spyware and adware.  Don't have these installed or running.  I'm currently not in a corporate network or home.  It's just a pc.  I can't get the game online, I want to play to load completely.  My Java is up to date and works fine without pop - ads or blockers interfere.

    Since you have posted in Forum Vista, I will assume that you are using the Vista operating system.

    You can get this information by navigating to the 'Start' menu and selecting 'Security Center' in the 'Control Panel', then you should be able to see what is running (antivirus/antimalware) under the tab "Malware Protection".

  • How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

    * Original title: startup

    How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

    Hello

    I understand you want to learn about programs, you should start your Windows startup. I will certainly help you to question.

    When you start Windows by using a normal startup startup, several applications and services automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include the base system, antivirus software, utility applications processes system and other software that was previously installed. These applications and services may cause interference when you install or run a program.

    The system configuration is a tool that can help identify problems that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. You can start Windows with common services and startup programs turned off and then reactivate them, one at a time.

    I suggest you to refer to the links below and check if this is useful:

    Using the Configuration System (msconfig)

    Perform a clean boot to determine if background programs interfere with your game or program

    Hope this information helps.

    Please get back to us with an update on the issue, we will be happy to help you.

    Original title: need HELP

    Go in run and msconfig!

    Under the control of services tab hide all microsoft processes
    These are the programs that are running at startup you can go through the menu of your program and configure each individually to run at startup.
    If you decide it's not worth having to go to control panel and then programs and then decide to uninstall the program.
    If you decide to use your drive to factory restore do not forget to install the programs you need.
  • How can I find out which catalog a missing image belongs to?

    How can I find out which catalog a missing image belongs to?

    Beat a dead horse... Whenever I need "missing images", in LR4.2, I can't access it, even if I'm looking to the right of the location that they presntly occupy thye picture was ALREADY in a CATALOG OTHER.

    HOW frustrating it is... going on 8 months now. But I need pictures and I guess I could just go back and 10,000 images that are missing in my collections to reprocess but I tried a lot of solutions offered in the months that are just not practical.

    So now, I want to approach this thing from the other direction...

    If Let's say a single image is already associated with another catalog which houses this collection, (and the collection is important because there changes), I want to go instead of this catalogue.

    How can I do this?

    Any ideas?

    Now, I see the video. AFAICT the message, it's not telling you that the image concerned is also imported into another catalog. You say that you already have an image version different within this current catalog, which already makes reference to the same physical file, you're trying to re - adjust the offline image to.

    This duplicate version is (I'm 90% sure) the result of a re - import at some point after you have transferred the data in the new computer. The proof will be if the two folder/drive locations appear in the records of LR.

    Say there is an [X] image that becomes an orphan, because the location of its source [A] file is no longer available.

    As has been explained, the right solution is to update the location information - it is easier to do in the record IMO, or a whole folder, instead of an image - tree so that the image [X] beyond knows to use the location [B] instead of [A] location. Incidentally, this means [A] record disappears from the list of files to LR and folder [B] appears here.

    However the situation is badly knotted up so instead to the foregoing, the [B] file is imported as fresh images, creating a new and separate image [are] pointing to the same file moved this image [X] used to use in the old location (for example).

    [X] is still in all of your Collections already made and has all its changes etc., but (with no now accessible at A location source file) cannot be used.  [There] was all or part x edits, will not be in one of your Collections, but works otherwise - because she doesn't have a working reference to the image file to location B.

    If you now try to redirect Web image [X] notebook file B, Lightroom rightly complains: ' you already have image [is] referring to this file!

    So if you delete these (I guess, superfluous) additional imports of LR - the backup catalog first and do NOT choose Remove them the disc! -LR will no longer have any reason to block you re - treating your images established and thus put online.

    I wonder if referring to pictures only through Collections (as in the video), one would tend to miss what's going on with these physical folder locations? It may be useful (even if you do not pay much attention to the location of the files, otherwise as LR allows rightly) - to select "Go to folder in the library" against a given image, for repairs in such cases.
