Find the performance that you had when you 1st installed can be a little difficult if nothing else, because our perceptions can be skewed a bit over time.

Basic tasks

Use programs and features in Control Panel to find applications and utilities you don't use, remove them. Many all-in-one printers install full of additional such as monitors use, utility of feedback services and consumable order links that few people use.

Msconfig Startup tab will show what programs are loaded whenever the PC starts and off slow start, they can cause a slowdown of the system, and how many times do you really need to update the printer drivers.

We can all see additional toolbars that grafted to other downloads but how many know the Addons that work in the background, click on the symbol to gear and to manage Addons to see if one is there who should not be.

The examples you give are web-based so did you check your broadband speed, ISP performance can deteriorate over time the more users they have. Personally, I use speedtest.net, watch out for those actually recommended by your ISP because they have been known to detect and optimize the traffic for these connections.

The other big problem is your AV. They can be the greatest example of bloatware with backup tools and so on, when you wanted was an AV. Lots of complaints of Norton and McAfee. If you have a subscription for one I would at least consider uninstalling, run the available on the manufacturers site cleanup utility then reinstall the latest version and select the desired real modules.

Don't forget to mark your system before you start to see if something that really makes a difference, unfortunately I doubt there will be much change. You need not actually specific benchmarking software just the time to specific tasks such as the boot to connect, connection to a specicifc displays message time. Starting an application, the time for this application to load a file especially complex.

The ultimate can be recharge it but just that I already said on your perceptions know so, I was stunned by the increase in performance with an SSD, but now, it's just normal and any other machine is slow.

  • How can I connect to a computer without knowing the password to default?

    Original title: what is the default password / restored for samsung i5, intel, windows 7?

    I bought a returned a Samsung i5, intel, windows 7, 500 GB, 4 cores.  The guy who initially was sold in October 2012 has decided he wanted more bells/whistles and a system w / Windows 8 (which I despise him!).  He should not have used it very long because it was still covered in a film of plastic on the cover of the keyboard and all the cables.

  • How do I uninstall Mozilla Firefox? without buying anything whatsoever?

    I'm having a lot of trouble with Mozilla Firefox and CANNOT AFFORD the $199.00 or even special $99.00, it is set by your support technicians. Don't try to talk to me to spend money to repair the software, I don't have it. Just tell me how to uninstall. I don't think it's a huge demand.

    I'm not unhappy about anything else because I'm recovering from surgery, cancer, treatment and DO NOT HAVE ALL EXTRA MONEY to SPEND at THIS TIME. However, I would like to be able to use my computer without the recurring problems, reboot, popups and errors I have with Mozilla Firefox.

    NO! I don't want to trouble shoot or talk with someone, etc, etc, etc. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO THE CONTROL PANEL, SELECT UNINSTALL AND UNINSTALL MOZILLA. Give me a break and just told me how to do this! I have tried to do for days and am completely frustrated!

  • How can I connect to the computer without the administrator password?

    Original title: my daughter locked her computer and can't remember the password.

    My daughter has locked her computer and can't remember the password. I'm trying to unlock the computer. The computer is running Windows 7

    It is always ask a password :(

    You did not say it, but it probably means that your daughter has changed her password and can not remember what she changed. This is why an alternative admin account is absolutely essential. You can get out of this situation as follows:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point before you changed the password.
    And since you probably do not burn a CD to repair Windows 7 either (which is absolutely essential for people to maintain their own PC), here's how to get one:
    • Burn it on another computer.
    • Borrow one from a friend.
    • Purchase one here: http://systemdiscs.com/
    It takes only three minutes to burn a via the control panel / backup and restore.

  • How can I connect to the computer without the icon?

    Original title: Inadverdently deleted the icon for the administrator who has passed, can recover us it and password?

    Mother-in-law belonging to this computer and we do not have access to administrator... we may have found the password but have removed the icon and cannot locate the account to connect?  Is there hope for us?

    Once connected to your computer, bring up a command prompt window...
    Start-> Run-> "cmd".
    and enter the command:
    net localgroup administrators
    This will give you a list of users of your system with administrator privileges.  Once you know the user name, restart your machine or logoff to access your logon screen.  Then press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to bring up a classic logon window.  Enter the administrator user name, then the password.  If everything is copacetic, it will record you as an administrator.

    Whenever I'm trying to make it smaller move my ways and when I rasterize, it becomes illegible...Screenshot (43).png

    In the transform Panel Menu enable entry to the scale patterns and stroke. Then it will evolve everything proportionally.

    Why do you need to reduce its size? If it is placed in a layout like InDesign application, it can evolve there without loss.

    I use windows XP Home Edition. It takes awhile to start when I turn on the computer. How can I speed up this process?

    original title: slow start
    • Faster processor.
    • Fastest hard drive.
    • Faster or more RAM/memory.
    • Less things loading at startup.
    • Appropriate and the most recent hardware device drivers.

    In XP, you can cleanup and optimize it in some way, by using the following tips:

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    Do a house cleaning and the dust of this hard drive:

    You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

    Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.
