• Satellite Pro - Slow start up and sound is messed up

  I had my * Toshiba Satellite Pro * with * Windows XP * for a good few years now. She has always worked like a gem and only gave me no problems until a few weeks ago.

  A few weeks ago I was downloading a program and with it the virus 'Antivir Solutions' very undesirable and unliked. I've done everything I can to get rid of this disaster (with the help of the support forums) and I think that I managed to get rid of it, but since my computer has not been the same.

  I had trouble downloading a PDF document, a few days ago and it froze so I tried to restart that caused the computer to have a hissing fit, remove my user account which meant I had to configure everything again from scratch. And, now, the computer takes a good 45 minutes from the moment you press the button "ON" when it is ready to start working. Not to mention, it takes a good 10 minutes every time you click on an icon for the program to start actually...

  I tried to defrag the system and you have tried to uninstall unused programs to speed up the computer, but it did not work.
  I also ran several anti-virus (e.g. Norton, AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials) to make sure that I don't have wicked not spoil me, but they come clean.

  May I also add the sound is messed up also. If I use the built-in speakers or external speakers, the sound is disjoint and broken. Like any video I have play.

  I don't know what to do.
  I can't really afford a new computer, but I need my computer to be reliable. I use my computer for 12 of the 24 hours a day...
  * What can I do? *

  Hi nicoletrist,

  I put t know what laptop you have exactly, but I think that the slow start Windows is caused due to viruses you have or had.
  A few years ago I also had a virus and it was causing a very slow start to the top, he did take up to 10 minutes until Windows has been loaded and the only solution to get rid of this used Toshiba recovery disc.

  I would like to recommend you. Use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings and save your data, because everything on the HARD drive will be erased.
  I'm sure after using the laptop recovery disk will work like a charm again! :)

• Satellite A300-1MV slow slow start-up and ongoing execution place

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-1 mV it runs vista,.
  I have the trial running Mcafee and other preinstalled software that came on the phone. My problem is that the startup of the computer seems to take a ridiculous amount of time to start, once past the ORB of vista, that it says please wait which lasts about a minute until the password request is displayed.

  I had a quick glance in the problemreports in the Panel and concluded that the program of toshiba tempro was hung up at startup so disabled but doesn't seem to have any effect, I also find that when for example you double-click a photo thumbnail to view it, it takes about 30 seconds to appear on the fullscreen allthough, the window appears on the start menu to the low allmost bar immediately.

  I defragmented the hard drive, scandisk, memory checking, virus check etc... I compared it to a friends laptop dell which has less memory, but the same processor spec and vista and that seems to work 10 times faster... any ideas?, I wonder if it is a program of toshiba at the origin of the problem.

  However, I have a problem with acrobat reader from opening on its own and telling me it can't read the file (do not know what file)

  I uninstalled it and reinstalled but still have the same question...! Help!
  See you soon

  Hello

  Very nice thread on slow start up you will find under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947

• Slow start up and close on Satellite A300 - 10 M

  Received my new yesterday, laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 10 M with the 15 "screen and I got to the dealer today!

  I tried, some of you may laugh, but after you restore to factory State 3 times, Windows Vista still has 6 minutes to stop and start altogether on this machine, it would normally be the load with the scrolly thing windows is going from left to right, then before he said welcome he would say "Please wait" then he might take a break for about 5 to 6 minutes! Then it says welcome and place comes your office as usual, no problem at all, once the machine was fully loaded.
  I m confused as to why is was so slow because it has 4 GB of RAM

  My laptop sisters from another manufacturing starts and stops in 90 seconds!
  It has only 3 GB of RAM and exactly the same speed processor!

  Experts have no idea why?
  I m gutted because Toshiba had amazing speakers and sound, other manufacture is still good, but not the case in the same league as the Toshiba, sound quality, if it has a 17 "screen, so swings and roundabouts, I guess?
  I removed all the programs and free trials of each of the machines above, I have stuff wouldn t use, I even removed stuff to load at startup using msconfig.

  I called Toshiba and the guy on the phone said that Vista on different machines may differ when loading and closing times, it wasn t any help at all!

  If anyone else here has a Toshiba Satellite computer, you can see how long you must close and restart?

  I would be grateful to know if it was my machine, wasn t prepared to risk to get an exact model and it still take 8 minutes again!
  So far I have always very angry that I now have a machine that does not work properly and is a joke in his time of loading m.

  Hello!

  I've created an interesting thread for you:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=134947

  I used these tips and my Vista runs pretty fast.

  In addition to defragment your HARD drive: click on my computer-right click on the HARD drive-online properties-online tools online => defragment now.
  Defragmentation is a process that reduces the level of fragmentation in file systems.

  I also disable all services that I n t need (start-run-services.msc online online). Take care if you disable services, you should know what you're doing.
  For example, I disable the following services:
  Security Center
  Time Windows
  Windows Firewall

  Good bye

• slow start up and slow down the stop

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my brother's computer. It's very slow when starting and very slow when it stops, also for when the computer is in use it is slow.

  I defragment the hard disk, use disk cleanup and search for any virus.

  I also looked in the advanced tools and performance tools, he gave me information indicating that the wmi provider host and the vaio entertainment database service caused the computer to the slow start.
   
  IM afraid if I remove these automatically start something worse would go wrong.

  Thank you for your time.

  Hi rookcpu,

  Before you attempt any other measure, I suggest you try the following basic steps, these steps are worth a try:

  Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

  If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

   

  Step 2: Put the computer to boot to determine which program is causing the problem

  Follow step 1 in the link below,

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Windows 7 pro 64-bit slow start up AND slow reinstall

  So I get up in the morning, play my usual MMO... which is actually in beta at the moment. But I had to leave and I left my computer running. I come home after 6 hours or more, and it is completely off. Mind you, I have sleep mode and never close under the power management settings. I use a computer tailor-made with Asus M5a87(I think that's correct), AMDphenom ii x 6, 4GBx2 ddr3 am3 (8) and (don't laugh) ati radon hd5550 1 GB video card. I bought the motherboard, processor, RAM and HD (1 to) all at once on a year and a half. I overclocked my video card, but only a little bit to where he barely makes a difference.

  in any case, I come back home and my computer is turned off. I have a protecter surge, not this old dusty or hottest with other cards. I turn it back on and I'm greeted by a bunch of 1.5 hours to the top. At the time where I'm not even on the desktop, I am then greeted with a Standard gray windows task bar and all programs, including the start menu, are super slow and the gel to the top. Imagine that Windows 2000. I try to turn it off properly but who ends up being an endless cycle, so I invited a closed group. I've put it back later on, once again super slow. White/black menu appears asking if I would try startup repair. Don't know why not? It takes so all night. Nothing is 'evil' with the commissioning. So I pop in my Windows 7 cd and I boot from the CDROM. I try to run from the cd startup repair. Same results. I start from the CD, this time trying to restore a few weeks a "last known good configuration". Yet once, lasts approximately 5 hours and ends by saying that it cannot be restored. I try later. Once again, impossible to restore. So, today, I get home from work, thinking I'll just do a fresh install. I travel by this new facility and then this, once again, is super slow. It was "Expanding Windows files" for 3 hours and I'm still at 31%. I'm sorry. I happened to test both RAM sticks, they are Kingston HyperX series. (One out and try one at a time). If ever, I can't get it on my desk, I can never understand if its my processor which really slows things to the top or not. I can't on the desktop. So any help I can use inside the Bios would be nice LOL.

  I would like to close my question as "answered". 'S done it, the hard drive that was fried. So I hope that this question will in the future to help other people.

  2. The second problem is specific to a particular program?
  3. What is the serial number and model your computer?

  The question my occur for various reasons, including some drive corruption, outdated BIOS version or damaged file system. Then I suggest that you try the following steps of diagnostics to verify if you are able to reach the office in one of the following modes methodical.

  Method 1:

  I suggest to run a Startup Repair to repair the damaged boot system files and try to start normally. See the section: How to use Startup Repair in the following link.

  Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

  If this does not help, try to boot from a disc to install Windows 7 on the Windows recovery environment mode and then try to run the Startup Repair tool and check if you are able to start normally.

  If the problem persists, proceed to the next method.

  Method 2

  Step 1: Try to start your system in a State of services necessary to the operation and a minimum set of drivers enabled, called Safe Mode.
  Start your computer in safe mode

  Step 2: If the system works fine in safe mode, try to clean boot the system to exclude the possibility of a software conflict.

  Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair.

  Please check the second issue in safe mode and clean boot, as mentioned above. If the problem persists, try to update the display adapter driver, as described below.

  1. Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click System and Security, and then, under System, click the Managerof peripheral . If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  I recently got the new x 1 carbon. I'm very happy with it, but there is one thing that bothers me. Programs tend to take quite came the startup time (Microsoft office word for example usually takes 20-30 seconds); In addition, although they never crash, programs sometimes hang for awhile.

  Other people have these problems as well?
