I recently installed a few programs that were supposed to speed up my computer, since my system now stops, freezes and is accents than before, is there a quick fix for that I hesitate to add another program
See if the programs you have installed have the possibility to cancel the changes they have made. Then uninstall them.
Use system restore to go back to a point before the execution of programs.

Where can I get a list and a description of the programs that load when I turn on my computer?
I recently bought a Pavilion p7-1010 PC with operating system Windows 7. On my previous HP, I got a list of programs that started when I turned on my computer and those to whom I could remove to start which were really not essential to have running.
Is there a place I can find a similar list for this computer and possibly a recommendation for those who I can disable.
Thank you
Mike
rmh56 wrote: thank you for your response Hanspuppa, I am interested in more information on the programs that appear when I start up so that I can determine which are needed and which are not. I want to stop at the start of all programs that are not essential to the functioning of my computer. On my last computer someone gave me a list or a link to a list of programs that allowed me to learn more about the various programs, which were important. Thank you, rmh
Hello rmh56, what would be a little difficult to determine, given that every computer comes with different programs.
I have no way of knowing how to determine which programs can be prevented from leaving on a particular computer.
You can try unchecking each of those entries one at a time and restart the system, or log and see if the programs perform normally, but this could be a very long process.
Unless you are certain that a program is not necessary, I would leave checked.
I just checked my startup programs and I shows that I have 15 startup programs.
This doesn't seem to affect my system performance at all. I check all out them.

You can remove the program from the taskbar and check if that helps. To remove a program pinned to the taskbar, open the jump list for the program, and then click remove this program from the taskbar.

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.

How to unlock a few songs that were stolen in a CD and then locked unexpectedly?
A few months ago, I was doing a few new CD to replace those who was to jump. I tried Windows Media Player, but it did not work for some reason, then the Windows Explorer and finally, burner of Roxio which I think made some of my songs locked, all of a sudden. Since then; I had problems with them, even, I can't play these songs more. And the worst, everytime I try, a window keeps popping saying "the license can not be downloaded because your browser is not supported. To download a license, you need Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or later. "I would have uploaded a new version of Internet Explorer, but the last time I did gave me a virus." What should I do on my locked song files? Help me please, anyone!

How to convert protected WMA to MP3 writing
1 - Open your favorite CD burning software and insert the files protected by rights, you want to convert. Depending on the software, you can open the files in the pane to burn or drag and drop one in the pane. You can also rearrange the files in the pane if necessary.
You must obtain the rights for all files that you are trying to convert. If the software cannot find the rights on your computer, it asks you to download them from Internet. In some cases, they could already be free, but in others, you will have to pay fees. Remember that the software will not burn anything until it makes contact with the digital rights on your computer.
2 - Insert your choice (CD - R or CD - RW) disc in the CD drive. Wait for the software to recognize the CD and press the "Burn" button or the command to start the transfer of your songs. Conclusion of all other applications, including browsers, software of management of e-mail and games beforehand, as they can adversely affect the quality of the combustion process.
When the process is complete, the software has usually ejects the disc by default. If it is not, manually eject the disc when you are prompted by the software it is finished.
3. put the disk in the computer and open him ripping software. Go to the 'Options' menu under the 'Ripper' tab to specify the type of format (such as MP3), the file quality you want (for example, 'medium', 'right' or 'best') and the folder where songs should be torn and saved. Press the 'Rip' and have once again, no other programs open while this process is running.
Your new MP3 files will be free of rights, you will be able to burn them to disc or use on any media player or device.
4 - If you have opted for burning to a CD - RW, you can delete it now by opening your file Explorer, right click on the drive letter and select 'delete '.

What can I say? System Restore is not useful for me. Too often, there is no restore my computer to an earlier state.
System Restore rarely admits that I had changed the computer - even when I uninstalled programs in the root directory. What takes to "make changes to my computer?

Often the programs uninstaller is not make changes either.I did both today and could not undo the changes. Tired of this.

RichardWhat is your system brand and model?
What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
What problem are you having this thing you that System Restore will remedy - or you're just in practice? (It should still work).
Some anti-virus / Anti-Malware tools 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013
Depending on what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, to the restoration of the system, then
Turn on the product.Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.
Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore. Well, it seems to work for some configurations.
System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore. This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore. You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware. It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
No matter what you use, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

Microsoft programs that run in the background on my computer

Howerer, a few hours later the "hide" checkbox unchecks and my computer starts to be slow and do the same thing all over again. How to hide permanently microsoft programs so that this computer slow is not the case? I already have the diagnosis of 'memory', and the memory of the computer is fine.
Hello Ballvk, click hide all Microsoft Services is not neutralize them and they still work at startup. What you need to do is to disable services that are not of use to you.
Click Start and type services.msc in the search box to open the Services associated with your computer. See what services to run and that you do not.
