• Internet very slow on Windows 7

  A few months ago, I bought a new computer with Vista and experienced terrible internet speeds.  We have dsl and the other computers in the House all the fast internet in xp, so I was sure it was a problem with vista, as described here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistanetworking/thread/74f41557-4dd7-44f5-ba39-4b6009520aef

  I was happy to install 7 because I didn't know it would solve my slow internet problems, but... it didn't.  My internet is still very slow, and the machines running xp always move at the speed of light.  This happens in IE and Firefox, and internet is always slow, even using a different wireless adapter.  Any suggestions?

• Internet very slow on Windows 7, I tried a lot of bugs with no luck

  I have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I used it without a problem for several months. But lately I had a very slow internet connection, no matter what program I use to. The same computer dual-boots with Windows XP: XP connects to Windows 7 to 0.3 Mbps and 8 Mbps.

  Security software: Avast and Comodo (use every two months with no problems).

  System Restore has been disabled by mistake, there is no restore points for trying.

  I tried EVERYTHING to fix this! I tried:
  -disabling auto tuning (this greatly improved navigation on the web, before pages would take ages to load, but the download speeds are still slow)
  -Disable IPv6
  -Disable Windows Firewall
  -disable the Windows Defender real-time protection
  Re-setup of ethernet card
  -Re-installation of network card
  -uninstall the Windows updates (those I was actually able to uninstall)
  -boot by using the system configuration to start without starting programs or non-Microsoft services
  -reset the TCP/IP stack
  -safe mode with networking
  -disabled the DHCP broadcast flag
  -change the heuristics of Windows scaling (since he says this overrided other parameters) and the provider settings control congestion

  Is there anything else I can do?

• Internet very slow with Windows 7.

  Here's my problem. Since I installed Windows 7 Pro x 64 my internet acted weird. There are 3 other computers on the network that is running Windows XP Pro 32-bit and a running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Every time someone else is downloading something or watch a movie online my internet slows to void / 3Mbit normal speeds dial-up is the speed. He does only on this computer, when I download something none of the others slow down at all. It does this with 7 also, it does not do this with XP or Vista. I have searched all over the internet and have found nothing useful. Everything I've met has not worked a little. I've reinstalled 7 a few times and even tried all versions of the card ethernet driver I could find and nothing helps.

  Hello Remi R,.

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Answers forum! Try to start your Windows 7 computer to SafeMode w / Networking to see if the slow speeds still occur. There may be third-party software that is causing your problem. If you please, after back and let me know the results.

• Sometimes my wireless connection is very slow. Our people at work said there must be a lot of people in my neighborhood picky backup me & that I need to put a password on the router.

  sometimes working wireless on my laptop is very slow. Our people at work said there must be a lot of people in my neighborhood picky backup me & that I need to put a password on the router. How can I do this?

  original title: addition of router password?

  The manual is expected to be online. If you have pain to find - know everyone here the brand name and model - it is likely that someone here can help more.

  Basically connect to the interface web (usually via http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 web page with the username "admin") and change the password in the configuration / administrative to something (I suggest 15 + characters including letters - upper and lower case, numbers and symbols) and then find the wireless configuration and change the password for it to something other than the administrative password - but with the same suggestion.  If she uses WEP and you have all the relatively new devices (all purchased in the last 7 years) then I suggest change you in WPA.  If possible, replace WPA2.

  Probably there is also a place where you can see who is connected.

  What type of Internet connection you are paying for?  (Include numbers upstream and downstream, given to you by the service provider and the type...)

• Some games run very slow on Windows 8, as...

  Some games run very slow on Windows 8 as (chicken Invasion "v1, v2, v3" in red alert 2, Age of Empire 2)
  but on Windows 7 on the same Machine perform perfectly, I tried to install DirectX,.
  and tried to install the latest Version of the Driver VGA for Windows8 and tried to change VGA (Nvidia, AMD, Intel)
  but the games (not all games just a few) still running slow...? !!!
  Help, please...

  Wrong, wrong, wrong.

  This is entirely based on compatibility to a level beyond what is offered in the standard "Windows compatibility" section.  In addition to this, everything you said had absolutely nothing to do with the question.  This has nothing to do with starting or whatever it is in the same direction.

  What is happening is that something is interfering with the normal functioning of the game because of changes in the kernel of the operating system because it has been updated / rewritten since the inception of Windows XP.

  @SOVIETTION
  The most likely solution for you has nothing to do with the videobuffer here is how fix you it:

  Find the Red Alert installation directory and find the file * md.ini.
  In revenge for Red Alert 2/Yuri, it will be 'RA2MD. INI"(feel free to make a backup of the file before proceeding)
  Open it with your favorite text editor (Notepad for most people)
  Scroll down until you find the section [Video]
  Just below you will add this line-
  VideoBackBuffer = no
  Save the file in the same place and load the game.

  Enjoy!

  The VideoBackBuffer = none works perfectly, but in my case I also had to set the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2.

  Bravo for you!

  Hello

  I had the similar problem with my Satellite P10. After installation of SP2, the startup procedure takes much longer. Check please the processes that start to run and disable some of them if you n t need them.

  Have you installed SP2 or it is also to the recovery image?

  In my opinion, it is not specific for certain just usual laptop models. My second unit (without SP2) starts a lot faster.

• Very slow initial Windows Update

  Hello

  I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit with Service Pack 1.  The initial check of updates has managed to update updates Microsoft, but the initial check for updates of the race since (oh I dunno) 15 or 20 minutes...

  Is this just normal planned waiting for initial windows update time?

  Something has hurt very very badly with Windows Update.

  I agree.   I did a new install of Win7 SP1 yesterday and left Win Update running from one day to the next day - it was always check the updates when I got up this morning.   I thought some of the customizations I made before you start the update might have messed up things so I decided to reinstall this morning.

  First I tried the installation option by using the option to use the latest version on the web - I canceled that after that he spent an hour "collection of information" is then returned to the installation from the CD.   Once I had a fresh install of Win7, I immediately started the update.   It was now 'check updates' for about 3 hours.

  One thing I noticed, is that the history of the update shows that the update agent (7.6.7600.320) was installed during the installation.  It seems to me that the Windows team needs to get some people working on back out this version of the update agent so that Windows can actually exists to update himself.

• Portege R400: Very slow Performance with Vista Ultimate

  Hi all

  Portege R400 is delivered with Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition and Vista is really - honestly - incredibly slow! (especially with R400, due to the configuration of the laptop)
  So I decided to install Windows XP Tablet PC... But I discovered that there is no driver available for R400 XP.

  I'm not directly complaining on the Portege models/series...
  It's a great design and I bought it, knowing the configuration. But I didn't know how Vista was eager for system resources...

  I complain on Toshiba policy or what-so-ever ONLY to the Vista and not XP drivers.
  Microsoft is desperately trying to sell Vista because they know, they really don't have this time and I heard stories about how they block their own market XP.

  .. .and I think that Microsoft and Toshiba can have an agreement on "selling only computers laptop Vista..." (just a guess but it seems so... correct me if I'm wrong)

  It is a torture to use Vista on Portege R400 and other equivalent configurations. (even when all the Visual effects system, disabled etc.)
  On the other hand, I can't use my XP on R400 tablet... so...

  So, trust me when I say I'm going to throw it away!
  But before doing this, if anyone of you knows a solution to my problem. Please let me know,
  because I paid a lot of money for this turtle.

  concerning

  PS: I hope that this is a democratic platform and my post not be erased or changed.

  Hello

  First of all, you don't have to suspect Microsoft or Toshiba has an agreement with Vista. Toshiba isn't the only primary selling units with just a VIsta operating system, almost every laptop to the manufacturer it.
  And you're right, Vista is a slow operating system, because it has a new UI with lots of graphic effects here and there and many features like the sidebar, you have really not at all.

  Since I bought my first one Vista laptop at the beginning of the year, I thought, as I don't want to not be installed and want my XP back and so on and there was no available to manufacturers of XP drivers download page either. I have a Toshiba laptop no and had the same frustration as you.

  Now, I had two options, check every important feature on my own via google or using tools such as engineering pilot or pimp my Vista driver installation.
  Firstly I did an installation of XP, all drivers to research, I need, who did not take my as much as I thought it would be. But after a while, I wanted to give the new Microsoft OS a chance.

  Used disk recovery and first wiped all the software I didn't need, so goodbye almost every tool installed on my machine, which was not unique to microsoft.
  Disabled many features, that I didn't want and I can say, speed increased a lot! This brought my buy an original version of Vista, made a new installation, installed all the drivers necessary, and hey, I'm happy with it.

  Thus, ended with my story, you have two options now. Search XP drivers on your own, using the tools and google or tweak your Vista. There are many guides on the internet that can help you.

  And do not be angry with Toshiba, as it's the same problem with other manufacturers too, as you can see in my case.

• Cannot download or is very slow since Windows updates!

  My computer was working fine. Could he download without any problem. Windows has a few important updates, so I installed them. All updates were for MS Office, except IE8. Since then, I can't download anything with Filezilla. It timesout. I can get the files downloaded through CoreLite, but it runs at a rate of 3 kb/s (compared with 80 + kb/s) before. Download on 4shared is too 3 kb/s. download speed was cut in half or even slower!

  I reversed the update iE8, but that did not help. Ive been Googling for a month now, trying to find a solution, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, how to solve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Here's my info and what I've tried so far:
  Windows Vista
  Excluded for the Windows Firewall programs include FileZilla and Core.
  Tried system restore, but a date before the update was not showing.
  I have a router, but this computer is connected directly to the modem.
  Cleared cache... and restarted ten-gazillion times.
  Router factory reset.
  Turned off modem for 10 seconds and rebooted.
  Tried the FTPES setting, but it would not connect to the server.
  Disabled firewall and tried.
  Cut of the AVG resident shield and tried.

  I run a home based business that depends on me to be able to download files. Thank you very much in advance for the help with this!

  Use the systemrestore to go back before installing updates. Now install every single update and look at what update causes the problem. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

• Why Thunderbird runs very slow on Windows 7 CAUSE: McAfee

  Installed Thunderbird worm 31.6.0 on my desktop Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 32-bit, 4G ram, Intel i5 processor clocked at 2.66 GHz,
  a few months ago and he ran very well in the beginning.
  Now that I've used for some time it slowed considerably.
  All Thunderbird functions slow clicking to select a group of messages, even deleting just one single message, opening a message, etc.
  It has compact records on several occasions, and I did not have a large number of stored messages (maybe the total of all files, including waste, spam, sent, etc. is about 500).
  I use McAfee Anit-Virus, which ignores analysis attachments to emails.

  There were reports of slow performance with Thunderbird on Win7?
  Maybe my problem is caused by McAfee?
  Ideas, suggestions are welcome,
  Thank you
  Ken

  Good. You can then mark the thread as "Solved" Please?
