Installation of some programs takes forever

Similar Questions

• After the installation of some programs and reboot, some lost their icon image.

  They work fine and all that's just say instead of "e" for internet icon explorer, its display of the icon "no file association" (Note: Internet Explorer doesn't have this problem, just used as an example).

  I searched but could not find anything about this problem here, on sevenforums.com someone solved it doing: "right click on them > properties > Compatibility tab > click the option at the bottom under the privilege level that says"Run this program as an administrator".". But that did nothing for me, everyone there knows what is the problem and how to fix it?

  OK programs that have lost their icons were: Revo Uninstaller (rid of him because he does not work with win 7 64 bit), spybot, Fraps, smart defrag, cpu - z, HWmonitor and Nero 7. I uninstalled them and rebooted and then installed them, but not all at once this time here and don't have not had a problem since, except with Nero.

  I started in safe mode and now the icon is back so it could be a problem with programs compatible old/little. You will answer if the problem appears again. Thanks for the help.

  Just at a glance, you have no need to Zone alarm and if you have the two Zone alarm and Windows Firewall default active that could be the problem. Even if this isn't the case, it will conflict and decrease your protection.

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  Hope these helps.

  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 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.

  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.

• Clean install of El Capitan takes forever

  My SSD on my Mac Book Pro got some corrupted files, and I had to replace it. I am trying to do a clean install of El Capitan and it takes forever. It was 10 hours so far, and the status bar is about 75%.

  I have a new SSD, the i5 CPU, the 8 GB of RAM and 1 Gbps Internet access speed. For those who take a long time for installation and operating system is simply ridiculous. I used to be an Apple fanboy...

  The download is a function of connection. Installation depends on your hardware. Your connection may be 1 Gbit/s, but read this while you wait...

• the Player Windows media, rip a CD takes forever

  When I copy a CD it takes forever. This has changed recently because it was fast. It takes between 15 and 20 minutes to rip a standard CD. It is used to do this in 2 or 3 minutes. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the latest version, but it did not help. I am ripping to MP3 format 128. I ran CCleaner and Avast. Any suggestions?

  Hi razorray1,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. Do you have any third-party DVD burning software installed on the computer?
  3. What version of Windows media player installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, consult you are facing similar problem ripping CDs any other size of file and check if that helps.

  Also uninstall any of third-party DVD burning software installed on the computer and check if it helps.

• Acer takes forever to load videos

  I have 3 year, acer aspire 3100 it seems to be well but the videos take forever to load and just flash player keeps crashing. What can I do to fix this?

  Part of the problem is that your PC is a laptop 3 year old. I suggest get some RAM better and uninstall programs that take up a lot of space. If you use a bulky antivirus, try using MSE.

  Second, try to visit the macromedia flash management page and delete the cache of the pages by pressing 'delete all sites '.
  You can also try to re - install all the plugins.

  c. If all files require a SFC replace will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Win7 DVD for this process to continue.
  d. If everything is correct you should, after the scan, see the following message "resource protection Windows not found any breach of integrity".
  e. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.
