Laptop, running extreemly slow freezing.

Original title: help, in despair

my computer dell laptop keeps freezing and is very slow, I tried everything possible to sort, also when I try to download an antivirus it downloads but when I open it, it says cant find file, and it wont let me restore to an earlier date.

When you wrote that you used "AVG Free" did you mean that you use AVG Anti-Virus Free or another product AVG?

If you used "registry cleaners" like that makes part of CCleaner or one that is part of AVG PC Tuneup, you may have damaged your Windows installation.

If you use software products that "analyze, repair and pushed" your computer, you can damage your Windows installation.

Right-click on "My computer" and select "Properties".  The screen that appears will show you the version of Windows you have, including the Service Pack.  Please provide this information.   It will display also, downstairs, the amount of RAM is installed.  Please provide this information as well.  See this example--> LINK1, which shows the XP Home Edition, Service Pack 2, and 504 MB of RAM.

  1. Go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm
  2. Read the information at the top of the page, especially the NOTE
  3. Download the "EXE File Association Fix" and the "shortcut (LNK) file Association Fix" and keep them in a place where you can find them later
  4. To "open" zip files, right click and select "extract all".
  5. After you run the '(zipped) compressed folders Extraction Wizard' you will have two files: 'xp_exe_fix.reg' and 'linkfile_fix.reg '.
  6. Normally, you use a file "reg" by right click on it and select "merge".  If this does not work, follow the instructions in the NOTE to open the registry editor. Once you open the registry editor, click file, and then click Import.  Search for the file 'xp_exe_fix.reg', select it and click Open in the box "import registry file".

As shown above should solve the problem you described as "he told me to go online and windows will search for it or I can manually select from a list of programs on my pc.

    Time for a basic troubleshooting Firefox.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

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

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe 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 problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in 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.

  • Months "Pavilion DV7 notebook" running VERY slow

    Had this laptop for the summer holidays, maybe there are 8-10 or more weeks and have had no problems with it so far.

    My laptop is so slow that I have something like 'my documents' loading can take 5 minutes and then hang. I write this from my phone my computer now runs so slowly that google chrome loading isn't really worth a try.

    My characteristics are (and it took me about 10 minutes to load).

    -5.4 windows experience index
    -Processor intel core i5 - 240 M @ 2.50 GHz processor
    -6 GB of RAM
    -64-bit operating system
    -windows 7 Home premium

    The task manager says I have my uses CPU is around what it would be before the problem (at least I think that's normal) but I am using 1.67 GB of memory, when nothing does not load, is - it normal I never really watched who before today.

    I did a 'system restore' who got running again for 30 minutes before it further deteriorated.

    I defragmented my drives.

    I deleted temporary files and run "cc cleaner".

    Pressing f10 at startup I got to perform a free hard drive scan (I think that's what it was called) - the result of this test was: "full hard drive 1 (305)"-I guess it's bad.
    On the same page, there was also a "memory test", going on the computer.

    I did a virus scan anti by using "avira".

    Any help you can give me would be welcome. I am a child of 15 years and it took me something like 30 weeks of my paper round of savings to buy this laptop. My mom and dad will kill me, so if I can fix it before I have to tell them, that would allow me to save a lot of grief.

    Sorry if this is the wrong section.

    Hello

    305 error code is a complete failure of the (Full) drive self test failed and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the problem of slow performance.  It is just the failure of a component and could happen to anyone.

    Your laptop must be under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the replaced disk - you can check your warranty status here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: SFC scan run on the computer to ensure that the system files are intact:

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Method 2:

    a. go to the Media Player.

    b. in the menu-> file-> manage libraries-> select each library (music, video, photos, TV recorded (if you have)

    c. check the paths that he manages and make sure it is not too near the root of the C: drive.  For example, it should be something like c:\users\Jim\Music and c:\users\Public\Music BUT NOT c:\users because they will cause the whole directory to re tree - index over and over (when you surf the web, or change files in your profile).

  • HP Probook 4520 s running extremely slow

    Hello

    recently my laptop have been slow (almost at a standstill). I suspected at first, it was a virus, but a test of the virus found nothing. So, I formatted my OS partition and installed Windows 7 Professional and that the essential software that I use. After a short time (1 day), he started running slow. among other things, I freed disk space, but it did not help.

    Then I ran the BIOS boot and test drive, and both returned "error: read failureError: failed to read.
    Help, please.

    Record everything you keep on an external hard drive. You have discovered why she was slowing down. Your hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

    The BIOS hard drive Diagnostics is an excellent utility for troubleshooting.

    If your Probook 4520 is still under warranty, contact HP for a replacement hard drive.

    If is no longer in warranty, it's time to buy a replacement hard drive. Once you have installed the new break of hard disk on the set of recovery disks or USB recovery media that you have made.

    Your Probook 4520 s uses a SATA hard drive 9.5 mm, 6.35 cm (2, 50-in). I do not recommend using a SATA3 drive for possible compatibility issues.

    A SATA or SATA2 SSD also works and will be a performance gain true if you choose to go this route.

  • my laptop is really slow with lightroom.

    my laptop is really slow with lightroom. How can I speed it up? Help

    I have a Dell Corei7 under windows 7 with 8 GB of Ram. Lightroom using 2530 MB of real memory.

    The fan works like crazy and the top of the Tower full gets also rather ward.

    No solution outside the upgrade of the laptop?

    Make sure that you have not distinguish faces on everything. Next to your name (or logo of Lightroom) in the upper left corner, there is a small triangle. Click on it and make sure that face detection is paused. Also, try turning graphics acceleration card off in the preferences-> help to run. Intuitively he saw wearing tends to slow down a lot of machines.

    That said, don't realize that Lightroom is not a lightweight program and fans running on laptops is quite common if you do a lot of heavy editing, or when export you a large number of images (or generate previews on them)

  • Was working fine, today, super slow, freezes

    I am running windows 7, 64 bit, 6 GB ram, core i7.  Yet CS5 ran great for months.  Today is super slow, freezes.  I can't think a good reason for this.  Any thoughts on how to fix?

    Also, I opened another project, and all went well.  If this project is damaged in some way, is it an effective way to rebuild?  It is a complex project or your time faily.  I have started and restarted several times.

    Thank you

    I feel that still is preferred least Adobe programs.

    Was still built on the sonic program, and I think that parties substantial still. I think Adobe has a big bullet to bite if they ever were to rewrite the program in their own. We also forgive many of the oddities on this basis, but I also believe that many recall is also now Adobe code. It's certainly the most problematic of the Adobe programs I use.

    Here's another question, I usually customized road my buttons.  I noticed that when you edit in photoshop, it changes the flow of the buttons.  I suppose that it leans on the order of the layers, but appears not to be the case.  Can someone explain this for me?  This is getting tiring setting routing over and over.

    I'll try to find the wire last week where we did several tests of this. Once the menu added in again, the stacking order of layers in photoshop (or elsewhere) has no effect on the NUMBER of button. And the number of the button which is the key element in the delivery. If you have automatic number and you don't do anything in yet (and you can do it in PS) to change the number of the button, nothing should change in the routing. This will cause the problem is moving buttons around so that their positions are different.

    The follow-up of the specific changes that you deploy in the PS, and I'll see if I can help you understand why the routing changes.

    I changed the automatic routing preferences, and I like automatic routing now. But I use very predictable menus in words where align the buttons.

    I tried the simple things such as checking for indexing spotlight, my home screen of the size of the compensation, first aid running in disk utility, etc.. But had no results. Any suggestions would be very appreciated!

    Back up all data immediately, as the internal drive may be failing.

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

    ☞ 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.

  • on my laptop running windows 7 more information disappeared from the window - topics (file, publishing, display, etc.), address bar and navigation buttons - everything I can see tabs - how do the lack of points to display

    Missing on my laptop running windows 7, all the info displayed at the top of the home page. All headings, i. e. file, change the view etc. disappeared. There is no address bar. There is no "home button", the button refresh, etc.. My wife was using the machine when it happened, so I don't know what she was doing. How to restore these features?

    most of the information has disappeared from the window - topics (file, publishing, display, etc.), address bar and navigation buttons

    When all the toolbars are missing, you are probably in full screen view, press F11 to toggle mode full-screen, or you can move the cursor to the top of the screen.

    The real problems you describe all set thanks to an extension and customization, see 01:10 steps later...

    You can make Firefox 5.0 looks not like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered 1 to 10 points in the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1 resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.

    It is much more beyond these first 10 steps in the list, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

    Toolbars and their contents have been rearranged and buttons have been merged dual-use, the net result is that I could see about 25% of what I had before and recorded about 10% of the area of the toolbar with great loss of functionality to hide things that might already be hidden and to create confusing buttons that already have keyboard shortcuts and don't need to be seen. The only good thing that has been ' Ctrl + / ' has been added to hide/show the modules bar that has not replaced the status bar.
