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.

  • 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 on Windows Vista (wireless) (originally said Windows 7)

    Original title: very slow internet

    I apologize is not getting back to you earlier.

    When you download and install games and other you don't normally need to keep what you have downloaded in the downloads folder. Some downloads are wide to remove could free up some disk space! You need to do on a regular basis to keep on top of the problem...

    The content of your video in total 414 GB file. You might look at some of them again? If this is not the case, delete those that you no longer need.

    You have a lot of icons on the desktop. Take a look at these and remove those that you never use.

    When you did above select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  • 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?

    Method 1. Reset TCP/IP:

    To reset the stack TCP/IP go to this article and either click on "Fix it for me" or follow the instructions to fix it yourself: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357

    Method 2. Disable the DHCP Broadcast Flag:

    Windows 7 can not get an IP address from certain routers or some non-Microsoft DHCP servers
    To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows 7. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

    By setting this registry key to 1, Windows 7 trying to get an IP address using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets. If that fails, he will try to obtain an IP address without using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets.
     
    Method 3. Disable IPv6:
    Try to uninstall IPv6 on all interfaces, the removal of virtual cards of IPv6 and reset the TCP/IP stack. To remove the IPv6, go to the properties for each network adapter, and deselect the check box next to the Protocol "Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6), which will turn off, or select it and click on uninstall, which withdraw power off the computer.» Then go into Device Manager and remove any 4to6 adapters, adapters miniport WUN or tunnel adapters.

I have searced for a few updates here, but I have not really found something. Is there a known issue with windows xp and sp 2 for this laptop?

    Do you have any adviecs?

    Concerning
    Matts

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Synology Diskstation short very slow with OSX

    I use synology diskstation for 2 years and have never really found it to be very slow when it is connected to my mac pro retina book.

    Plug NAS...

    Synology NAS Office DS213J Bay 2 enclosure £159.99

    Red WD 3 TB for NAS 3.5 inch desktop hard drive - OEM £89.00

    3 TB Seagate 3.5 inch 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache hard SATA3 £89.99

    2 drives installed - 1 set up in mirror

    I measured the speeds and get 3 MB/s reading and writing on wi fi. Direct connection to a gigabit switch that directly relates to NAS both via CAT6 - makes about 35 MB/s reading and 50 MB/s in writing.

    I read a review that has measured the same device and got a 74.5 MB/s write speed and a 56.4 MB/s read speed

    When you run windows in bootcamp on the same machine, I get much better performance.

    I tried to remove a drive (speed tests are the same for each single drive)

    10.11.2 running OSX


    Is there a particular issue or the goal or the question you are interested in here?   It is clear that you are looking for performance and a few comparisons, but it's not clear (to me) where you're going with this.  Can also check with Synology people, too.

    A few generic comments follow...

    In general...  A Wi - Fi connection is slow, and Wi - Fi with interference makes even slower connections.      Descent and with a tailwind, I expect a little more than 200 Mbps (megabits per second, not megabytes) with semi-recent-grade Wi - Fi 5 GHz dual-slot, assuming a backhaul wired on the gigabit NAS and assuming no interference from Wi - Fi or claim.

    Rusty storage rotation is slow and subject to the configuration.

    Red WD appears without RPM - "Intellipower", with some comments showing a player ~ 5400 RPM, which is quite slow and at no time access in the technical sheets.  If a seller do not post access time and transfer speeds for a disk drive, the device is not intended to be a particularly fast device.  WD indicates both in the note on the sheet, too.

    For most RAID controllers, RAID-1 mirror means the two Scriptures - written to each disk in the mirror game - must fill in before the host i/o is complete.   This slows down the write speed.   If the RAID controller is intelligent - and not all RAID controllers are very smart, then it will give you the first available reading rates from the game of mirror, based on the position of rotation.  Many will just take a drive and give you the e/s as the sector turns around, so you will be waiting on average a demi-revolution.

    If you want a faster access to the storage, stay off WiFi and use two SSD storage or upgrade these disks to 15 K RPM disks configured as a RAID 0 striped.   High-end and storage gear company - the older, hard-disk-based - gets its performance to have zillions of small discs of 15 K RPM configured with disk and controller wholesale large caches, controllers (by rotation-aware) smart and with RAID 10 storage configurations or similar.

    To compare the performance of the device, the configuration of these benchmarks and what you are testing is important.  Reference material, as well as the speeds measured since the test of Windows.

  • After the latest updates from Microsoft, my Internet Backgammon supplied with Windows 7 no longer works. It is a dead link and the game opens same. That's happened?

    I like to play trump stings on Internet and Internet Backgammon that's installed with Windows 7, Home Premium edition.  However, after the automatic updates installed yesterday, I noticed that the link to play the Internet Backgammon is no longer works.  It's just a dead link.  I can click on it, but nothing happens.  Not even an ounce of trying to open.  It's just 'died '.  I can still play trump stings on the Internet and I have no trouble to access the internet, so I wonder if this is just a small problem or do you have Microsoft remove Internet Backgammon as one of its windows games?  Note, this is Internet Backgammon that is installed on the computer, in the folder games - it is NOT the version of backgammon on MSN that you actually go to the internet and to play.  I am referring to the one in the Games folder, which is installed with Windows 7.  I play this game almost every day, so I hope that it will be restored.  I wish there was a way to contact Microsoft about this, but there isn't and they charge, then...
