• Windows XP computer is slow to start and stop.

  original title: PC is VERY slow

  It takes awhile to start and turns off, surfing is quite slow as well. How do I speed it up?

  Some reasons for the slow pace of the computer:

  1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance

  2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

  4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).

  5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:

  For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
  The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

  For Vista/Windows7 - Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '. Autoruns is also very useful.

  6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.

  7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.

  8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode (IDE only - not applicable for disks SATA drives). It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information -http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

  If the hotfix registry PIO only 'glue' (or you have a SATA drive), the drive is probably faulty and needs to be tested.
  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot

  In addition to the above, see also http://miekiemoes.blogspot.com/2008/02/help-my-computer-is-slow.html

  Note: If the computer has always been slow, in addition to the above user may have bought a machine with a less powerful processor and not enough RAM (memory). The normal use of the computer, 512 MB to 1 GB is sufficient for XP; Vista should have a minimum of 2 GB; Windows 7 is less demanding than Vista, but the minimum of 2 GB should also be used.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - define the VIEW
  for the drivers Microsoft hide - updated those without drain in their names. (Also updated
  the BIOS and chipset drivers.)

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Stop Windows 7 to automatically install device drivers

  ===========================================

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.

• Installed El Capitan, Mac Mail not loading and computer works slower

  It is now a week now since the installation and Mac Mail is still not loading new emails automatically. When I exit and restart the mail, the titles of all new e-mails comes in but not the content. In order to get the content I did some random actions that I remember even they did work once or twice?  The program also randomly stops.

  I have only one Imap account, have cleaned all the unwanted files and trash and as suggested have removed all the log files and rebuilt, and reindexed mail. However, I can't rebuild my Inbox as it won't let me?   Overall, my computer also seems to run slower for all tasks. I have an early 2011, the Macbook Pro 17 "with 16 GB of ram and a fast SSD drive. Before this upgrade, I've rarely seen a spinning ball, and this computer is running fast as lightning!

  Very frustrated with this upgrade so far :-(  Hoping it might be a simple problem or update soon...

  Thank you

  John

  Try these in order to test your system after each see if it is back to normal:

  1. a. reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

  b. Macs with Intel processors: reset of the controller (SMC) system management

  2. restart the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart again, normally. If this does not help, then:

  HD recovery start: restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and press and hold the

  COMMAND and R keys until it appears the Utilities menu screen.

  3 fix the hard disk and permissions: select startup drive in the Utilities menu utility. Fix the hard drive and the permissions as follows.

      When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. After loading disk utility select it

      back from Macintosh HD entry of the list on the left.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait for the operation

      ends, then quit disk utility and back to the main menu.

  4 reinstall OS X: restart from HD recovery Select reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, then click on the continue button.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than wireless.

  
  

• Is the another great category why my computer is slow?

  I get a lot of beach and the General slow balls spinning this month.

  One thing I checked last week my storage status. 237 free GB to 999 GB and 618 for which is the category "other"!  I hate this wave "other" category. Here is a screenshot.

  

  You can see that I have barely keep anything on my internal drive. I don't have a lot of applications. The ones I use regularly is Mail, Safari, Lightroom and Photoshop.

  A few years ago I learned about a procedure in disk utility to completely erase the disk space, but when I went to do, I couldn't find more, as El Capitan got rid of him. Is there something similar I can do?

  Is this large amount of yellow on the bar as alarming as it looks and probably why my computer is slow?

  Thank you!

  p.s. in another thread, I will post about a glitch that happens with my trash. Maybe it's related.

  The function of Secure Erase of Trash was removed to El Capitan. One of the reasons was that it worked as expected. The other is that it reduces the life expectancy of the SSD.

  I would suggest your download and install OmniDiskSweeper. When you rum ODS, it will tell you the names of the files and folders that use the most space. You can then decide for yourself or ask us what can be detected or moved.

  The first step in the process must be a full backup of everything.

  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.

• I'm sure that my problem is common, my computer is slow. I tried a number of things to clean, defragment, etc, etc. Any suggestions?

  Hello: My question is not uncommon, I hope there is a simple solution. My computer has slowed down over a period of time and want to get the speed. I have tried Microsoft downloads (my computer would not accept them), System Tools, disk cleanup and defragmentation, bought "Fixcleaner" to aid, etc.. Nothing seems to speed it up. Simple suggestions for a non-expert user?

  Simple? Probably not. In addition, programs such as Fixcleaner and Advanced SystemCare 4 are almost always doomed to failure in cases like yours. However, it shouldn't be so hard to speed up your PC.

  Do you have XP Home, XP Pro or XP MCE?

  What is the brand and model of your PC?

  What is the status of malware from your PC?

  What security programs are you running? (For example, Norton or McAfee?)

  You all post-SP3 installed security update?

  How much RAM do you have?

  What is your hard drive and the amount of free space is left on it?

  If you need help answering these questions, let know us.

  Here are the usual causes of slow:

  1. malware (malware). You need to rule out first! This page has excellent information:

  http://Web.archive.org/Web/20080610163247/http :// www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  2. some programs aimed at combating malware (for example, Norton and McAfee). Ironically, they can slow things down because they use simply much too many resources. Sometimes they cause conflicts with other programs. And their default mode is to scan your entire hard drive whenever you start. Fortunately, there are other programs of anti-malware software available that use much less resources (p. ex., NOD32, Avast and Avira).

  3. too much of certain types of programs still running in background - with or without your consent. (Then again, a lot of programs running in the background of the consequences trivial.)

  To determine each program and process, you are running, use the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager and click the processes tab. You should be able to sort by CPU usage or memory usage for a good ideas that are resource/memory hogs. You must write the names of all the processes for future detective work (or take a snapshot and print it).

  Use these sites to determine what these programs are, and learn how configure them to not always run when starting:

  http://www.PACS-portal.co.UK/startup_content.php#THE_PROGRAMS
  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
  http://www.AnswersThatWork.com/Tasklist_pages/Tasklist.htm

  Sometimes, it is recommended to use msconfig to configure programs to run at startup. A better, more thorough program is Autoruns:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  But before that, you must use the settings preference of the program in question. Otherwise, for some programs, they will return to the list of startup anyway!

  If you do not want to use msconfig, it can be accessed in this way:

  Start | Run | Type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Enter (or OK)

  4. not enough RAM, causing the PC too rely on the pagefile. A quick way to determine if what is happening is to open (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Then the three values under Commit Charge (k) Note: in the lower left corner: Total, limit and peak.

  The Total number represents the amount of memory you are using right now. The vertex figure represents the maximum amount of memory you made since the last boot. If these figures are lower than the value of the amount of physical memory (K), then you probably have lots of RAM. In case you want to study it more, you can run the Page queue Monitor for Windows XP:

  http://www.dougknox.com/XP/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm

  5. you can also verify that the access mode of your hard drive has not changed from DMA to PIO:

  I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 (I have set accidetally to level internet explorer to 9 widows. I need to Java and Adobe. But my computer is slow. I do not know what prorams that I need to run start or to uninstall... Someone really knows what I need to do?

  FYI: with a topic like this, you have 2 strikes against you. Most of the people don't bother wasting time looking to see what your problem...  Next time be brief and specific about your problem, is to give an application (with version) and the code error or describe your problem briefly.

  If you don't want to be a Guinea pig, you can follow these instructions to uninstall Explorer 9:

  Looks like you want to control the programs that run at startup, right? It is always a good thing to do. You can run MSCONFIG (type in the search window on the start menu).  See the "Startup" tab  So, you can use other applications to display the same information. For example, CCleaner has a 'tool' that does the same thing.  NirSoft does: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/what_run_in_startup.html

  Browse the list of questions, and if you decide all. For example many applications load stub apps to speed up their startup. If you do not use all the days of the app, uncheck the box and it does not load.  If you do not recognize, this is often the case, track the location of path or to register 'Command' to try to understand what program it is for.  Use google to search for file names. Other people have asked the same question and got answers on the importance of the application is.

  Related, another thing to work is 'Services' (new type who, in the start menu, look for the window). They are a special software that runs in the background to provide services such as faxing or printing. Yet once, often you need not all services.  You can find a lot of information on how to do this in Google search for "Harden Win XP" or related expressions. They call it "Soak" because in this context deactivation of services makes your computer safer, more 'hard' hack by eliminating the places to be hacked.  Don't you worry that many of the articles are 5 or more years, they will be still valid.  Here are some links to help you get started:

• Malware removed, but my computer is slower than before.

  Very well.

  I had a few irritating problems with my computer for awhile, and after some research diligent on my part, I came to know that it was a malware problem. So after I downloaded the appropriate programs and cleaned my computer, everything was completely fine and fixed and I'm super happy about it.

  But now my computer seems slower than before waaay. It freezes not, exactly, but everything is slower. To the point where the drop-down lists are empty, the cursor of the hit is constantly having to make up for what I'm hitting way after that I typed, and I can't even watch youtube videos simple.

  I checked and it does seem like I'm having all kinds of problems linked to the virus, it's just... slow.

  Is it normal that, even while my computer was slammed by virus/malware, he performed much faster than now, when it is all cleaned up? It just makes too much sense to me and I wondered if maybe I forget something. (I try to avoid reinstalling windows at this point because it feels like such a pain since I'm part of the 2% of owners of computers that their stuff is not saved.)

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-click guest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:

  Are you logged on as ADMINISTRATOR when you access the scanner?

  Some errors cannot be fixed by the scanner, and many of those who are not at all important.
