Loading personal settings is very slow

If he is a member of the domain computer, you have incorrectly DNS. See your IT Department.

If there is a computer at home, something you have from Windows is slowing down things. It could be legitimate, or it could be malicious. Since you have not provided all the information about your computer, start with the basics of troubleshooting:

The first Question of troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what has changed between the time things worked and the time they do not have?

The second issue of Windows troubleshooting: what is the status of virus/malware of the machine? If you think it's clean, what programs (and versions) allows you to determine this?

Make sure that the computer is clean:
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

Once you are sure that the computer is free of virus/malware - and ONLY after you have done - if the problem persists, manage your Startup:

Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    As I understand it, this message indicates the loading of the user profile, NTUSER.

    Disconnect all external devices from the computer and try to restart the computer and check what is happening.

     

    Step 1:

    Try to boot to the desktop in safe mode and check what is happening. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. To start in safe mode follow the link.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Step 2:

    If you are able to boot to the desktop in Mode safe, it means that the third-party application prevents the computer from starting in normal mode. To check you can configure the computer to clean start State and then try to boot into normal mode and check what is happening. To set up its own start-up follow the link below.

    the password should be available).

  • Windows XP, the application of the computer settings and the application of your personal settings is very slow

    A XP computer over a network, recently and only recently started having problems when starting.  It is very slow.

    When 'apply the settings of the computer' and when "applying your personal settings" is very slow.

    It is only a very recent change.

    A malware scan found no no problem.

    Are there any suggestions?

    You won't if you follow the above canned answer.

    Is that a computer joined to the domain?  If so, the slowness comes from the network, DNS, domain controllers, or group policy.

    You can have better luck in the technet forums.

  • How can I return 'Default' Firefox (topic: config) without losing all my modules and Persona settings?

    I changed a couple of parameter in previous versions, to speed things up. These parameters have been "inherited" from version 6.x which I think has more need.
    I want to return my Firefox settings by default, (processing pipeline, server calls etc) but don't want to lose my Add-ons, Extensions or Persona settings.
    Is this possible?
    My Firefox will REALLY slow and crashes often

    cordially.
    Paul Wade
    PulpKult...

    Creating a profile will return all of your default settings of Extension/add-ons, you will need to re - install the Extensions/additional custom modules in the new profile

    Most of the settings that you have probably set different values are in about: config, then filter = network.http (I watch 24 elements in Firefox 6, all with the 'status' = default)

    • Those that are displayed in the lower panel in fat and as a user set are items that have been modified by you and/or an extension/add-on.
    • You can right-click on these elements, in your case those typically shown as "whole" types and choose "Reset".
    • Those who re - appear after restart of Firefox are possibly be changed/added by an Extension; There were / are many extensions to change these settings
    • After "Reset", not with an empty value (there should be none in network.http unless you added), will be deleted when you restart Firefox. those are elements that are not the default set of preferences hidden in your version.
    • Make a list of what you change hidden preferences (topic: config) so that you can reverse these changes later if needed.
    • List of preferences network.http: _ http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox: _FAQs_:_About:config_Entries #Network.
      • The list is not entirely current or complete, but is the best we have at this moment
      • Do not add new products to your preferences, unless you know what you're doing
      • Do not delete all the elements of your preferences, unless you know what you're doing
    • See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
