• After you have reinstalled a new hard drive, my system is slower than before

  I have a dv6000 HP Pavilion with Windows vista 32 bit.  My hard drive crashed and we bought and upgraded to a 500 GB.  I reinstalled all my software and update everything, but it seems that it has not been installed correctly (vista).  This is my 2nd hard drive and the 1st time, we have not had any problems.  This time it does not appear that correctly reinstalled Vista.  None of my previous icons came back, I had to do these myself.  My system is "slower" than ever.  Commissioning is slow, clicking in IE is slow.  My system seems to freeze and lock up a lot now then that on the internet or turned off.  Sometimes just clicking on IE or even one of my programs, it takes a very long time to come.  No information has no reinstall my external hard drive, everything here is new and fresh.  I'm just uninstall everything and try everything again.  I am completely frustrated.

  Hi Jan,

  Do you have more details on the hard disk that you purchased? These can be signs that the drive is defective and fails.
  Usually, if a car goes to the failure of your computer behaves strangely. This could be anything to take time abnormally long starting or opening programs to receive errors trying to save files.
  Since how long have you bought the new drive? If he was recently, which means the last month or so, I think it would be better to return it to the store that you bought it and exchange it for a scratch disk.

• CHKDSK in windows xp hangs at 0% when the index checking, but eventually ends. Why it suddenly runs so much slower than before? Thank you.

  Once I got this error message after 3-4 were revealed when checking indexes scene: "an unexpected error has occurred...". ». At that time there chkdsk stopped and I had to close the window.

  Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

• 7 64 - bit slower than 7 32-bit

  Hi all

  I installed Windows 7 x 64, (given that some experts advised it instead of x 86 for me!). But this version is slower than the previous one (7 x 86). Why?
  PS: 1 - the applications are the same for both.
  2 - I have no malware.
  It's my form of system.

  3 - my measure is time. For example, the time that Windows runs the startup applications and also if you are using Windows. I feel and see the slowness of this x 64 compared to the x 86 one.
  I think that the (pilots) fine and see no reason showing that they are not.
  The speed of applications running at startup (applications at the bottom of the screen on the right) is very low (in comparison), but also after that, overall speed is not bad but it is less than 32.

  4. I think the problem belongs to the RAM. I knew that x 64 is certainly for machines that have more than 4 GB of RAM and the most important factor, is WoW.

  Do you agree?

• Error 303 and the computer is slow!

  So I played a light game that my laptop can run 200 fps, but when I stopped playing, I restarted my computer and startup has been slow extreme... I have spent 7 from Windows to Ubuntu, and it boots in 15 seconds, but now in 2-5 minutes! I did test drive and it stopped at 61% and error gived 303. What this means, and this makes it my computer slow for no reason, if this means that the hard drive is broken without reason, that I have to send my computer HP or can I move the HDD without losing the warranty? And I forgot, the Compaq Presario CQ56-116SO computer. Help me, im very worried my computer, because if I send HP this laptop I'm afraid they care that the OS is changed, or do you guys recommend me installing Windows before hard drive breaks down complete? I mean I can use the computer, but it is much slower than normal.

  lol I thread on ubuntu Finnish forum and they said, it is fixed in 10.04, but im waiting for the response from HP and I hope they send the replacement of the hard disk, if they send, I use windows for a while. D and in my old laptop I had 9.10 and it never broked hard drive, he was connecting Ubuntu 9.10 to--> 11.04 and again good job, I'm sure that Linux is not a problem, if my old laptop (HP Compaq 6715 s) it runs well without hard disk failure.

• Computer Dell laptop with Windows 7, upgrade to IE9 and now the computer is slow

  Original title: did someone really knows what I need to do?

  I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 (I have set accidetally to level internet explorer to 9 widows. I need to Java and Adobe. But my computer is slow. I do not know what prorams that I need to run start or to uninstall... Someone really knows what I need to do?

  FYI: with a topic like this, you have 2 strikes against you. Most of the people don't bother wasting time looking to see what your problem...  Next time be brief and specific about your problem, is to give an application (with version) and the code error or describe your problem briefly.

  If you don't want to be a Guinea pig, you can follow these instructions to uninstall Explorer 9:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Internet-Explorer/help/IE-9/How-do-i-install-or-uninstall-Internet-Explorer-9

  Looks like you want to control the programs that run at startup, right? It is always a good thing to do. You can run MSCONFIG (type in the search window on the start menu).  See the "Startup" tab  So, you can use other applications to display the same information. For example, CCleaner has a 'tool' that does the same thing.  NirSoft does: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/what_run_in_startup.html

  Browse the list of questions, and if you decide all. For example many applications load stub apps to speed up their startup. If you do not use all the days of the app, uncheck the box and it does not load.  If you do not recognize, this is often the case, track the location of path or to register 'Command' to try to understand what program it is for.  Use google to search for file names. Other people have asked the same question and got answers on the importance of the application is.

  Related, another thing to work is 'Services' (new type who, in the start menu, look for the window). They are a special software that runs in the background to provide services such as faxing or printing. Yet once, often you need not all services.  You can find a lot of information on how to do this in Google search for "Harden Win XP" or related expressions. They call it "Soak" because in this context deactivation of services makes your computer safer, more 'hard' hack by eliminating the places to be hacked.  Don't you worry that many of the articles are 5 or more years, they will be still valid.  Here are some links to help you get started:

• Alt in CS6 dropper is slower than on the earlier version?

  Hello

  I'm used to paint by clicking quickly drops alt eyepieces and paint in quick succession. Its been my method of paint on all the photoshop to CS4, I just moved to CS6 and a very annoying bug prevents me from doing this effectively.
  When eyedropping there will be a small delay after selecting the color where, if I click again to paint I will get sound windows burst like it was currently impossible to paint. If I wait half a second after picking, I can paint well, but this slight delay is enough to drive me crazy and really slow me down since I do, I don't know, 2000 + brush STROKE / day. No idea what causes the pipette to be slower than before? I disabled the color ring which was new to me, but that didn't fix it.

  I think that I found a solution to the question of drops eyepieces.  He solved the problem in my case, I hope that it will work in your case also.  It ends up being a conflict of Windows and is not a problem with Photoshop... Sorry Adobe.

  Do the following-

  
  

  Control Panel-

  Stylus and touchscreen.

  'Click' on ' hold down / right click»

  Turn off press and hold for right-click

  * I also disabled use of the stylus button as a right-click equivalent

  There is no slowdown problem now with the pipette for me, or have the pipette don't pop up at all when I hit the ALT key .

• Is there a new 'fix' for a 9 year old XP Home computer that runs a lot slower than it used to? I do the interview, but nothing works

  In 9 years. I re XP 5 times because it was the ONLY done fixthat my Dell Dimension 8250 run fast. I kept all the updates, ran the cleaners of files, defragmented the hard drive, put the parameters to performance don't not Visual, even added more than 512 MB ram (1 GB total) that has MADE for a month or 2 really speed things up, but it is also to slow. The last time I put the XP disk in there was this msg: "Setup cannot continue because the version of windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD. ANY HELP is HIGHLY appreciated as this is the measure of my ability of fix - it - happy to post here any info you need to diagnose this bottleneck problem, thanks, Patrick

  Do yourself a favor. After your next relocation and after you get it until you're happy with it (install SP3 and all subsequent security patches, install all the programs that you use regularly, install a good antivirus, install the latest versions of Adobe Flash and Java, etc.), make an image of your hard drive. This way you will EVER need to reinstall your OS again! Acronis and Paragon are good programs. DriveImageXML is a good gift (but doesn't have as many features as imaging programs paid).

  About the General slowness, here are the usual causes:

  1. malware (malware). You need to rule out first! This page has excellent information:

  http://Web.archive.org/Web/20080610163247/http :// www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  2. some programs aimed at combating malware (for example, Norton and McAfee). Ironically, they can slow things down because they use simply much too many resources. Sometimes they cause conflicts with other programs. And their default mode is to scan your entire hard drive whenever you start. Fortunately, there are other programs of anti-malware software available that use much less resources (p. ex., NOD32, Avast and Avira).

  3. too much of certain types of programs still running in background - with or without your consent. (Then again, a lot of programs running in the background of the consequences trivial.)

  To determine each program and process, you are running, use the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager and click the processes tab. You should be able to sort by CPU usage or memory usage for a good ideas that are resource/memory hogs. You must write the names of all the processes for future detective work (or take a snapshot and print it).

  Use these sites to determine what these programs are, and learn how configure them to not always run when starting:

  http://www.PACS-portal.co.UK/startup_content.php#THE_PROGRAMS
  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
  http://www.AnswersThatWork.com/Tasklist_pages/Tasklist.htm

  Sometimes, it is recommended to use msconfig to configure programs to run at startup. A better, more thorough program is Autoruns:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  But before that, you must use the settings preference of the program in question. Otherwise, for some programs, they will return to the list of startup anyway!

  If you do not want to use msconfig, it can be accessed in this way:

  Start | Run | Type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Enter (or OK)

  4. not enough RAM, causing the PC too rely on the pagefile. A quick way to determine if what is happening is to open (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Then the three values under Commit Charge (k) Note: in the lower left corner: Total, limit and peak.

  The Total number represents the amount of memory you are using right now. The vertex figure represents the maximum amount of memory you made since the last boot. If these figures are lower than the value of the amount of physical memory (K), then you probably have lots of RAM. In case you want to study it more, you can run the Page queue Monitor for Windows XP:

  http://www.dougknox.com/XP/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm

  5. you can also verify that the access mode of your hard drive has not changed from DMA to PIO:

  What is the problem in your opinion?

  Hi erdemrek,
  I don't see what exactly is the problem you are talking about but:
  If you have the same processor, the same amount of ram, same brand, model, same installation then everything should be the same.
  What do you mean "more frequently" unfortunately I don't speak your language to that effect, I can't read the text on your image.
  If you test the speed of the machine to be sure to use the same utility (benchmark).
  load on a system differs depending on the services and applications launched and running.
  could you give some more information about this problem?

  as a first step, you can try to change the hard drive and see if there is no change. If it's a software problem, it should appear on the other machine as well when changing the hard drive.

• How can I get malware, Rootkit.MBRWhistler.B (Boot_image) removed from the computer?

  Every time you start computer, F-Secure antivirus protection (provided by the Charter cable) informs that a virus was found and removed. History of virus removal indicates the malware is, Rootkit.MBRWhistlerB (Boot_image).  Even if the opinion indcates HIV virus has been removed, the notice of virus removal is upward during each boot.

  F-Secure "Help" provide no assistance in order to remove this malware; the State that their commercial association with the cable of the Charter does not help these problems.

  Condition instructions Charter cable to clean malware, but noted that if what they have advised did not work, contact Microsoft for a solution.

  This specific malware investigations indicates that it provides a 'bridge' for other malware to enter my computer.

  Is this a virus? Does anyone have an idea how to remove it? It seems insensitive to the normal virus removal software.
