• Windows 7 takes a long time to stop

  I installed a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit on one of my laptops about three months back. The laptop was brand new at the time. Everything went really smooth. But for the last week I am facing a problem, Windows takes an exceptionally long time to close. Whenever I try to close my laptop, the screen where it says that Windows is waiting for a program to stop with the option 'Force Shut Down'. The weird part is the place where it is supposed to show the program for which Windows expects in the end is empty. Absolutely no program is shown at any time. Even if I chose force closed, written with "Shut Down" screen comes up and the wheel will turn away and it takes about a minute to close. Sometimes, it takes as much as 5 to 8 minutes to stop. Previously he was not even a full 10 seconds to close.

  My laptop is not obstructed by installed apps. Apps only I use is Eclipse, Android, Google Chrome, web browser emulator, VirtualBox to run a copy of Ubuntu and FlashGet to download from the internet.

  All the drivers are installed correctly, as they ran all very well for the last three months. I have a paid Avast Anti-virus installed with paid Malware-bytes. I scan my laptop computer for viruses every two days and keep up-to-date. I keep my Windows updated through Windows Update. I have run the defragmentation of disk once a month. Even after that I encountered this problem, I ran a disk defragmentation. I also run CCleaner once a week. I have not yet installed any new apps until this problem appeared. I can't find something in maybe that could lead to this problem. The boot time for my laptop is really fast and normal. It feels sharp and fast while using it all the time. But the problem is whenever I try to turn it off.

  Computer laptop specifications:

  4 GB OF RAM

  HARD DRIVE 500 GB

  Processor Intel Core i3 3rd - Gen

  Can anyone help me please with this problem? I'm frustrated by that.

• Windows 7 takes a long time to load the desktop after login

  Hello

  I am using windows 7 on my HP 530 laptop. My friend who installed and activated, but I think that it has installed the cracked version. After installation, it was really perfect. but after a while when I connected to the internet, some updates have been installed, and then when I logged in the windows, he invites me that you are using a pirated version or something like that (I don't know more actually). then I restored to my previous state and then everything was fine. After that I stopped the automatic updates, but these days my startup window is having a few problems. After entering the password, its taking a long time to load the office and its keep on the list "loading, please wait...". »

  I'm so sick of that, also, I have to restart my laptop by pressing the power button, and after the reboot, it works fine. But I need someone to answerwhy its taking a long time to load the desktop...?

  Also, please give me some advice to solve this problem, keep this idea in mind that my computer is virus free and got a good processor and RAM. I installed my windows in the C drive, and in my C drive only almost 2 GB of space is left (or almost). and there is no program running auto in msconfig, other than gtalk, Skype, etc.

  I'll be really grateful if someone please give me the solution.

  HP would have provided your preinstalled laptop with win, they would also have provided a way to recover your laptop to the specifications of the factory, either through discs of recovery or a hidden restore partition that you need to access in order to make recovery disks. How do you access a recovery partition is an option of HP, is not dealing with a MS - visit the HP website, specific to your model for more details on how.

  If an illegal win7 version has been installed, or you have to buy version of win7 you need, or you need to recover your laptop provided that the factory provided, by doing so, you lose everything on the phone, if you have lost or that you can not do the restore cd and then telephone HP support they would usually provide records for a small fee.

• Problem with Windows XP takes a long time to start

  Hello, I am running Windows xp3 House. I have a problem with my firewall loading Windows. It takes about 2 minutes to load and it is that nothing works (Avira antivirus, Lynksys wireless monitor, etc.) until it starts. Sometimes it loads immediately, and then it's not? Weird. In a search, I found this, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823612 I ran it.

  He stopped and not responding so I had to turn it off and restart it manually. When I did I got a pop up telling me to activate my Windows, 3 days to activate. I did nothing to mess with windows, it has been installed on my pc when I bought it used and I have no cd or manual as I assume that it is installed at the factory. I know not where the i386 file is and have never been able to actually identify because I'm familiar with it. If my pc becomes unusable because of that I won't be able to use it and I don't know what to do. I did a system restore and it did not work. How to activate Windows if I must / I have to? How can I stop it? I don't know what to do and I need help. Thank you

  It is quite possible that all your problems are due to this dangerous program!

  Of course, any software can have a phenomenon of chance but, I have been using Glary Utilities for years and have never had a single problem.

  To the OP

  Malwarebytes Anti - Malware Version 1.60.0080

  I guess you use Malwarebytes as a scanner at the request since the version you list is obsolete. There are several malware that can cause false activation. My advice to you is first, make sure your computer is not infected. To do this you must first update Malwarebytes and run a full scan. Once that is completed and you have deleted everything which, on the contrary, that was detected you should do the same with SuperAntispyware. View your results.

  On another note, by the unlikely chance, you have the professional version of Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware know you can't run both at the same time by using the real-time protection. As long as you use one of them as an on-demand scanner, you're ok.

• Satellite M300 PSMDCA takes a long time to start

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M300 PSMDCA - 01800C and there are some problems with it.

  First of all, when you start the computer, it takes a long time to start and activate Outlook.
  I am running Windows 7Home Premium.
  Computers arrow where I bought the computer told me that it can take up to three hours to go back through each process at startup?

  Is it normal that all I wanted was a simple portable easy fast, but it seems that I am stuck again.

  Also, when I go back to the computer, even after some time the mouse it does not provide new and pushing the Start button just a blank screen. Alt + Ctrl + delete, then he activates Windows again and then after having put my password and I have to wait for that be again loaded everything that takes so long. Any ideas?

  Also I often get the message when the computer starts "error has occurred in Toshiba PC Health Monitor. He will leave the application. "Main.frm.cpp (184). Any ideas?

  Quite often when I am scrolling with the mouse, the screen will turn black and flash and a message «the NVIDIA display driver... couldn't Reg...» "and he will correct itself after awhile. Frustrating!
  Quite often when scrolling on the websites of the page I'm going to freeze?

  I use MS Office 2010 and there is a problem trying to save Word documents and a message comes up with "a file permission error.

  Any thoughts? Thanks, Shirl51

  > First of all, when you start the computer, it takes a long time to start and activate Outlook. I am running Windows 7Home Premium. Computers arrow where I bought the computer told me that it can take up to three hours to go back through each process at startup?

  This nonsense!
  The system should boot up quickly my laptop needs 30 seconds to start.
  In my opinion, the system is screwed

  In your case, I recommend to reinstall the system.
  Did you create the recovery disk?
  If this isn't the case, I think that detailed instructions should be placed in the user's manual.

  After the recovery of disk has been created, restore the system, BUT save the data before doing so because the recovery disk would be to format the HARD drive and you lose data!
