• All of a sudden my system became very slow and duration start increases 15-20 min.

  Hello friends,

  I have laptop model Dell XPS. This is the start time increases by nearly 15-20 minutes approximately.

  When I turn on the laptop computer, a black screen continue for 5 min. and then it displays the login screen. After entering the username and password it takes 10 min. until the screen is displayed and a circle begins to run on the icon network in the bottom right of the laptop screen as shown below:

  

  You can see run circle right next to the icon of volume and during that time, I can't even open the Windows Explorer.

  I have to wait until this stop running for the next 5 to 8 min.

  I tried to clean the useless/content files using CCleaner software, but nothing happened.

  What should I do now.

  Do I have to format the laptop. In fact I already format the laptop 4 - 5 times earlier.

  Thank you

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

  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:

  -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
  Poster: 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 Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
  the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
  the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
  Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
  MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
  If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
  you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
  and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
  their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
  Site of the manufacturer 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 are
  installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
  later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
  Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
  SCANNER - 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 above methods is preferable to ensure 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 driver facilities
  in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
  pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
  driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
  you want.

• Since Firefox 13.0.1 my scrolling speed is very slow and lazy. Disabled all the plugins still don't work. Any difficulty? I HATE IT!

  As soon as Firefox when through it's automatic 'upgrade' the scrolling action became very slow and lazy. I tried all this suggested (disable plug-ins, re-installing Firefox, restart the computer, etc.), but I still can't get back to the way it was. Is there a fix, or how can I re - install the older version that worked so well? I HATE THIS!

• When getting started, my computer is slow and unresponsive?

  For the last two or three days, I noticed that my computer is very slow and unresponsive. None of the programs that I click on will open and usually everything will freeze if I press what either. When I put my computer in Mode safe mode (with networking), everything seems to work very well. When in Mode safe, everything I click actually works, but it seems that it's not when I start my computer using the option "Start Windows normally". I have a laptop that is currently running on Windows 7. Anyone happen to know how I can fix this problem? Can what steps I take to fix my laptop? I also tried searching for virus and so far it is said that my computer is fine and has no virus. I used CCleaner (Pro) to "clean" my computer and my computer still seems slow, unresponsive and freezes quiet a bit. I also system restore my computer to an earlier time, but it is still giving me the problem slow, freezing and not responding like it.

• my 27 Imac late 2009 became very slow

  My 27 Imac late 2009 became very slow - I think especially after I've upgraded to El Capitan. Otherwise, everything in the computer works perfectly and I m using only 200 I have the 1 TB. Onyx and other tests can't find anything wrong. I mainly use my computer for word documents and to manage his photos about 30 000. The internal memory is 2 x 2 GB. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could do to speed it up? Thank you.

  I wish I had an answer, but all I can do is rather echo to your problem. I have a 19 mid-2007 "iMac, contributed to the maximum with the RAM, 1 t disc hard less that half full, who did the same thing - he has worked with El Capitan until I updated to the latest version. Once that has happened the machine became so slow as to be unusable. It would take ten or twelve minutes to record a mouse click. When I restarted the machine, it took 32 HOURS to start (Fortunately it isn't my main Mac production).

  Last week, I tried all the remedies of common sense - by removing unused software, keeping an eye on the activity monitor (there is nothing fancy here), etc. Finally, I did all the stuff start, PRAM, run utilities disk (no noted problem) and even tried to reinstall El Capitan to a bootable USB I did with my first Mac, the reinstall, but seemed not 'take' somehow - he wanted to repeat the installation procedure again and again.

  I use the little Mac for Internet, e-mail and (as Karlis2) deal with some of the oldest pictures in my files - I'm sure that I have pictures on Time Machine, so I'm not too worried about it, but this was the first Mac way back in the day, I bought with my money and I'm a little sentimental on and would like to resurrect if possible... I wonder if there is a way to restore the operating system to an earlier version and it would make a difference?

• Firefox very slow, slow and unresponsive on Windows 8.1

  Basically, everything is very slow and each action takes a long time to complete - tabs, switching takes about half a second to a full second (5 seconds if there is another tab currently loading / refreshing), by clicking the Center button of the mouse takes more time, about half a second to a second for the exactly scrolling of arrows is displayed same thing with regularly by clicking on the scroll on the right, Firefox bar pretty much freezes for about a full second before reacting to the click.

  I tried to run Firefox with addons disabled, which did not help, which I did not know that he don't would be not since this problem started before I even had the addons - pretty good the second, I installed Firefox.
  I have Firefox running on an SSD card and a new installation of Windows 8.1. I tried the two Aurora and nightly (currently using every night), both are just as slow.

  I have not tried to reset, because once again, the question was already there during my first installation of Firefox.

  Figured out what the problem is - it is a software of DisplayFusion I use to support multiple monitors which is causing the problem. I'll just get an alternative until (if ever) the question ceases to exist.

  Thanks for the help.

• The machine is very very slow and constantly beach balls, System wiped 3 times by Apple store

  I have a 27 June 2015 iMac 5 k, 3rd two precedents as a failing. I upgraded to 24 GB of RAM and use PS CC, Lightroom with two plug-ins software nick Imagenomics.

  the machine is very very slow and beac balls constantly...

  Sometimes, I visited pirate bay re music but all f my software is legitimate...

  I have taken e machine to my local application, e store twice, claiming the material is good, but the software is obviously not correct that they admit that it's very slow, so they wipe the machine and system restore...

  sound she's like going round a roundabout...

  Help

  So, what operating system Mac are you on? You are not running an iMac on iOS.

  The Apple store actually erase your entire hard drive or they just install the OS on top of what you have?

  If you downloaded from any type of torrent/pirate bay Web site, there are some that will include a few unwanted songs (like bloatware/adware/malware) with their free software, especially if this software costs money elsewhere - for example, you might have installed something that will not be fixed by installation of operating system unless all of the hard disk will be deleted first.

• Mac became very slow viruses

  Top of desktop Mac became very slow all of a sudden. Could there be any virus. How do I solve the problem

  When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is particularly bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Run the Console application in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

  SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

  in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

  List of newspapers seen ▹ display

  in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

  Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Highlight date back to the time you noted above.

  Select the messages entered since then until the end of the episode, or until they begin to repeat, whichever comes first.

  Copy messages to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

  The journal contains a large amount of information, almost all this is useless to solve any particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

• Aspire One D255E, Intel Atom, Windows 7 Starter: Slow and unresponsive

  All,

  I work on this Netbook for my parents.

  It has been used VERY little since.

  has all updates installed,

  There is NO program installed outside the factory except for MS Security Essentials and Maliwarebytes programs.

  That said, it is VERY SLOW and sometimes UNRESPONSIVE to keyboard shortcuts.  I know that this is not a high level of PC, but can I do to speed it up if we can search, eBay, Facebook and other sites.  No hard calculations are required, just basic of simple functions.  It's just to slow down now and basically no one will use them.

  Thank you.

  CCleaner fragmented records (very bad experience and the MVP is also recommended).

  Before you defragment the HARD disk and clean records, you can also delete temporary Internet files.

• Computer is very slow and crashes off is not Windows 7 correctly.

  Yesterday, my computer froze to the point of pull me the plug on my laptop. After him have enabled again, I noticed that my computer became very slow. I tried to browse the web with Google Chrome and it takes forever just to get a loaded page. The Shockwave Flash plug accident frequently and whenever I try to browse a web page that uses Java, it hangs for a few minutes and continues to load slowly.

  Chrome is not the only program that runs slowly. All other programs seems to freeze/being slow. I have the MSI CX640 with: 4 GB of ram, Nvidia Geforce 520 M 1 GB, Intel Core i3 - 2310 M 2.1 GHz, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  It took me about an hour and a hlf to type this message as several programs open at the same time causes the constant freezing. CPU utilization remains low and less than 50% of the total RAM is used. I tried to use Timestamp (version MSI system recovery), but the previous backups have been deleted, and I tried to use the system recovery which has a windows installation, but fails in the process. I don't know if these event logs means nothing at all. I would like to help with this issue as it did my computer almost unusable.

  Hello Jleester,

  The warning of error IO error can be caused by a defective hardware:

  Windows Windows (5352): an application to write to the file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb" at offset 70025216 (0x00000000042c8000) to 32768 bytes (0 x 00008000) succeeded, but took an abnormally long time (91 seconds) is served by the operating system. In addition, 18 other requests to this file I/o also took an abnormally long time to be repaired since the last post regarding this issue has been sent 30 seconds ago. This problem is probably due to a defective hardware

  I would check with the manufacturer of your computer to see if there is diagnostic tests that can be run on your hardware.

  I also see that Steam.exe is not release handles to your user profile, then I would say you uninstall Steam and reinstall. Event id 1530 is just stating they were unloading the application, steam.exe. This type of errors can cause your user profile is damaged.

  Let us know if that helps.

• I have a computer laptop packard bell who became very slow when stopping down

  I HAVE A LAPTOP FROM PACKARD BELL, WHICH BECAME VERY SLOW CLOSE. I SUSPECT THAT THERE IS A BACKGROUND PROGRAM SHUTDOWN TACTIC, BECAUSE SOMETIMES A BLUE SCREEN APPEARS LITERALLY HALF A SECOND, THEN DISAPPEARING TOO FAST FOR ME TO READ. HOWEVER, IVE JUST MANAGED TO SEE 'FORCE SHUT DOWN' WILL DISPLAY. CAN ANYONE HELP?

  PS - IM RUNNING KASPERSKY PURE 2012 AND I LOADED DISKKEEPER (TRIAL VERSION).

  EXCEPT THAT IVE BEEN THRU ALL MY STARTUP PROGRAMS AND SEVERELY LIMITED THEM.

  Most of the time, you can use the Task Manager to see which programs are hogging resources.  Make sure you click on tab the process, and then on the small button at the bottom left that says something like "show processes from all users".

  In addition, switch to view... Select the columns entry and select other readings/o and i/o
  You can sort the columns by clicking on the title - this way, you can control what is spking during closing.  Get the name of the process that is spking and we can start watching them.

  Also, try the clean boot here procedure to solve problems: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

• Firefox has becomes slow and unresponsive after that I tried to install the addons (not installed)?

  I recently format my computer and reinstall windows 7, since it was the only way I know of to solve the problem with Firefox (I already had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it. This version was super fast. But becomes slow and unresponsive when I tried to install the Add-ons. I visited the official site of firefox and searching for addons, when I tried to install addons, Firefox crashed. Therefore, it has becomes quite slow and cannot restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, it takes more than 5 minutes and reacts more frequently (after typing each letter).
  I want to know if this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable".

  Hey there,

  We are sorry to hear that Firefox crashes. To better help you, please follow the steps below to provide us with crash IDs to help us learn more about your accident.

  1. Enter Subject: hangs in the Firefox address bar and press ENTER. A list of submitted Crash reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent report ID begins with bp - and then back to your forum question but that stick in the box of "Post a response. (Please do not take a screenshot of your plant, just copy and paste the ID image below is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

  

  Once you have done so, you could try the Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  I hope this helps!

• 30/31 of Firefox is very slow and plant constantly?

  Hello.
  Since I updated to 30 FF, I find it VERY slow and it blocks many times a day. I was happy when version 31 is out because I thought it would work better, but it doesn't.
  The pages take forever to is to load, most of the time they will not and I have to recharge myself and then maybe they are responsible.
  Also, it crashes all the time. I noticed it's on down each time that it kind of "freeze" or when it is something big, which is not at all big load. I've never had this problem before, but have been dealing with this for months now and I'm tired instead.

  I think I have almost tried everything. Even uninstalled. I'd appreciate any help, as I would like to continue using it. Thank you.
