    Hello Ian,

    Have you tried the Task Manager to end? Right-click on the taskbar and select Start Task Manager. Locate the application and click on end task (at the bottom of the page). I wonder if it's a piece of malware running, or even a virus. If it will not be closed, or starts just backup again, consider using these scanners:

  • I installed an external USB connected hard drive Seagate, it slowed the computer and check the new disc repeatedly

    Hello

    I installed an external USB connected hard drive Seagate to copy some movies and pictures of my HP laptop with Vista, but it became a big problem. It slowed the computer and check the new disc repeatedly. Then it wouldn't start without the external drive at all but it was working fine once he was conducting with the external hard drive. So thinking I can outsmart the computer, I uninstalled the drive from Control Panel. Now it primer not at all. The computer lights up briefly and then goes out of itself almost immediately, is there a solution to this? Thank you

    Original title: startup problem

    Hi SomBhattacharya,

    Please try the possible fix following first thanks to Carey Frisch:

    1. open the BIOS of the motherboard.
    2. find where it says Priority Boot Device, then select CD/DVD-ROM 1, 2nd Hard Drive and disable all the rest.
    3 find somewhere in the BIOS where it says BOOT USB, Wake on USB, etc. and disable all unnecessary options.

    And second if it does not help, you can try the following with Blue Michael:

    Local Geek Squad had me intentionally set the BIOS to the correct order, then re-order and SAVE.
    It worked, even if the list of the BIOS was always in the right order.

    I hope this helps!

  • Characters not visible (caused by hitting the bar space or TAB in PL/SQL developer tool) causing slow running query? and database with low performance?

    Hi all

    I need your help to get this issue resolved its urgent and I'm not able to get to the conclusion. Here is my scenario, I'm getting slow query runs because of some non-visible characters that are copied with the application of the PL/SQL developer tool. Please find below attached screenshot: Oracle_Issue

    Oracle_Isssue.png

    Note: This non-visible characters are caused when we write the query then us hit the SPACEBAR or press TAB PL/SQL developer tool

    I use the developer tool PL/SQL to write or test the query. Now I take this request copy paste in my application of the company (who takes this query connects to Oracle or any source of data base, catch data and produce PDF reports for customers).

    Now, my client is the Oracle user when I write and you run this query by the PL/SQL Developer, it works fine, but when I paste in my Inbox feature request (reporting system) and run it, it runs slower and jams to the customer database. Now after a little research I found that when I copy the query directly from PL/SQL developer at my request, he copy some characters not visible (introduced when we press SPACE or TAB in PL/SQL developer tool when writing query) with the request, then I copy this query again to my box of the application Notepad and delete these non-visible characters. Now, after removing the non-visible characters again once I copy backup question in my application and run the query, it works normally. Please find below attached screenshot: Oracle_Issue 2

    Oracle_Isssue_2.png

    So I think that the cause of slow performance is due to some INVISIBLE CHARACTERS present in the query.

    My application uses SQL server 2008-2012 at the backend to store data from different sources.

    Character set used: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS


    To write and test queries: PL/SQL developer tool

    My Client use Oracle 11 g

    Character set used: Normal character: NLS_CHARACTER: AL16UTF16

    National Characeter: NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTER: WE8WIN1521

    I just wanted to know the blocking process to the top of the database and the characters not visible how affecting slow running query of query database.

    Please let me know if I'm missing something or you need more information on this issue.

    Thanks in advance,

    HP

    Simple answer. No.

    Spaces and line breaks do not change the execution plan created. Does not plan to run slower or faster.

  • Windows Indexing running for hours each day, slowing down computer

    Every morning when I start my laptop, the Windows Indexing service starts.  He turns for hours and really slows down my computer while it is running.  I suspect that it is a new construction index every day and not incremental update.

    Last week, I opened administrative services, found indexing service and set its startup type to disabled.  When I go in there now, he said that the service is stopped, but in my status bar windows taskbar system, it is still ongoing.

    I am running Windows XP Professional Svc Pack 3.

    Help, please!

    You probably mean the Windows Desktop Search?  (Which is not the same as Indexing Service).  Go to add/remove programs then uninstall it.

  • Internet the in slow motion - computer runs very slow when you use any program / application that uses the Internet

    I hope that Super Antispyware has given you the opportunity to remove those things. Since your initial Malware scan came clean, it is likely that located SuperAntispyware cookies only track, which are odious, but generally not a threat from System.

    It is possible that you have apps which unknown to you, that run automatically in the background whenever you start your program. It is good to check if they are legitimate and necessary to launch when you start your PC.

    Start button, click on you. In the run box, type: msconfig.exe

    A System Configuration tool runs. Go to the Startup tab. You will find a list of applications that are set to run every time your PC starts. If you recognize all of them, use Google to help identify their purpose. Many times, you can open the application that is in question and prevent the application from starting. For example, on my system, I see that Java runs once more a verification tool to update each time you start. In this case, I can set my preferences Java Panel, select Java and uncheck automatically search for updates.

    I also use OpenOffice and it wants to run a startup of service to reduce the time that openoffice requires to open. I don't really want something constantly running in the background to save me a few seconds to open the application. Then I go to Google to find out where the switch is to disable this "feature".

    If you have unwanted applications running in the background, it is best to either uninstall, our to disable the option that allows them to run at startup. Although you could definitely "uncheck" the application through msconfig.exe, it is essentially a tool of troubleshoouting and not intended for the struggle of the apps (even if you do).

    You can always uncheck/check again on this list to see their impact when you then restart your PC.

    Once you have verified that apps that are set to start, you can run Windows Task Manager and scroll elements in the process and Services tabs to see what is running. The Services tab can be pretty intimidating to investigate on (there is a lot of misinformation the ' net), so if you are unsure about the services listed, it is best to ask or to jump on this area.

    Hi I'm not a wiz kid so any help would be helpful thanks

    Hi I'm not a wiz kid so any help would be helpful thanks

    It is very difficult to try to help you with so little information, but one of the first things that you should consider in these circumstances is that you can be infected by the malware. What anti-virus program and what anti-spyware program you are running? If they are updated?

    For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (do not run more than one) of the following three:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software (even if you run a program like Microsoft Security Essentials, with anti-spyware feature integrated into it). I recommend that you download and install MalwareBytes AntiMalware (freeware)

  • Satellite Pro 2100 is really really slow running

    I have a satellite pro 2100 I killed a friend.
    He said his brother gave him and that he had no idea what was wrong because he didn't have a chance to watch it.

    I put windows xp pro top and used the bottom of the laptop pro license key.

    but the laptop is really really slow.
    It may take up to 5 minutes for nothing I click to open up.

    the strange thing is the laptop works fine in safe mode, can open things like I should.

    but in normal windows mode, it slows down to a crawl and even crashes.

    I have trie all to my knowledge.
    I even uninstalled and turn off the graphics drive that I thought that he maybe, but he always does.

    I tried multiple copies different from xp pro and even tried a copy of vista, but still the same.

    He had 2 different lots of tried in ram, 2 sticks was new aswel. I tried 3 different hard drives and still the same.

    My thoughts are that the integrated graphics card is exhausted.

    can anyone else confirm this? Certainly this isn't a software issue because I tried a few different copies of xp and vista. IM about to bin it now.

    > anyone can confirm this?
    Don t think someone could confirm everything that is related to a malfunction of the equipment.
    Here in the forum, we can talk about problems and makers of disorders, but no one will be able to say with certainty what's going wrong here.

    First laptop computer is an oldie.
    The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 CPU, isn t a up to date CPU and in my opinion, that don't expect too much performance.

    I put t know how this camera supports memory but everything below 1 GB of Ram would be good enough to the smooth running of the laptop.

    However, given that the unit works much faster saving mode, I guess there must be a hardware related problem.

  • Updates from HP agent... always began in the early and slows down computer

    Hi Ron,

    Try the following.

    Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type msconfig and press to enter.  In the System Configuration window, select the Startup tab and Remove the check mark next to the HP update agent.  Click apply and then click Ok to save the changes and restart the PC for this change to take effect.

  • Troubleshooting slow running under a user account from Win7 machine and normally with the other user accounts on same (or other) third-party app

    Hoping that this is not too off-topic, but I'm really running out of ideas...

    I have this trading program full license (TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 4.2) who has worked on my Win7/64 for several months, and in recent weeks, has become excruciatingly slow for every user interaction (but not for real computing), making it essentially unusable (1'30 to launch vs 3 normally, 30 "seconds waiting to launch a 'new project' vs.)<1s normally,="">

    When 'pending' launch application or respond to a command, 12% of the full CPU (8 logical cores on CPU Core i7 third Gen) is used by a single process: the offending application (look at the Task Manager, 1 logical core is used to +/-80%, a second for about 15% of this process). All other processes are still at 0% CPU usage.

    Of course, I tried & tested many things including full-/ re-installation of the application with a careful cleaning etc., corresponding registry entries software disabling AV (Avira free), .net Framework Repair Tool, etc... no change! The disc has been checked and is OK.

    Some interesting tips:

    This app worked fine for several months before the problem started abruptly a few weeks; I tried to uninstall .net Framework 4.5 updates to a date prior to the date of beginning of apparent problem, does not; I came back to an earlier version of the offending software: no change.

    But the most interesting observation is that the app works well at the launch of any other user account on the same machine Win7/64 (whether with the normal credentials or admin), so for me that means there should be no conflict of software on the computer, only something in my profile of the main user who causes the app behave so slowly.

    At this point, the Helpdesk of the seller looks distraught - too.

    Suggestions for troubleshooting?

    BTW: I consider that this computer is well managed, and no rogue or untrusted app sleeps there. my main profile is fairly heavily customized for my work, so I want to avoid workaround last resort would be to create a new user account as work environment main (besides the fact that I hate not to find the root cause of the problem)

    Hello

    Given that this problem is specific to the user's profile. I suspect that some programs that are installed or some settings in the profile translates into this problem. You can fix a corrupted user profile by following the steps in this article:

Do I need a 64 bit OS? Is this a BIOS problem, or it will never recognize the 6 GB of Ram? Make the slow computer run with much open
     
     
     
    All versions of Windows 32-bit client (not just Vista/XP/7) have a 4GB
    address space (64-bit versions can use much more). It's the
    theoretical upper limit beyond which you cannot go.
     
    But you can not use all of the 4 GB of address space. Even if you
    have a 4 GB address space, you can use * autour * 3. 1 GB of RAM.
    This is because some of the space is used by the hardware and is not
    available for the operating system and applications. The amount you can
    use varies, depending on what hardware you have installed, but can
    range from as little as 2 GB to 3.5 GB. It's usually around
    3. 1 GB.
     
    Note that the hardware is using the address * space *, not the real
    The RAM itself. If you have a larger amount of RAM, the rest of the RAM
    goes unused because there is no address to map space to.
     
     
     
    You should get 64-bit Windows? It is difficult to answer, because there are
    a lot of factors (see below). But you need exceeds the 3.5 GB of
    RAM, you are able to use? It depends on what applications run you, but for the most
    people, the answer is no.
     
    Here is my standard message on 64-bit Windows:
     
    The advantage of running a 64 bit version of Windows for the most part are
    only if you are also running applications 64-bit under him. Don't forget that
    There is very little such available requests. If you are
    currently running 32-bit Windows, you don't have any 64-bit
    applications, so to get a significant advantage, you not only
    have to replace Windows, but also of your applications, * if * (and it's
    a big "If") are 64-bit versions.
     
    Also note that you will need the 64-bit for all drivers your hardware.
    These drivers may not be available, especially if some of your
    the material is a few years old. So it is possible that you might also
    to replace things like your printer, scanner, etc.
     
    So the answer to your question, it's that it would not be a good idea
    Right away. This will no doubt change in the near future, as 64-bit
    applications are becoming more available, but for now, Windows 64 - bit often
    You hear some additional trouble and benefits costs little or not.
     
    On the other hand, install Windows 64-bit instead of 32-bit Windows
    allows you to purchase 64-bit software available, instead
    older versions of 32-bit. This means that the 64-bit installation
    Windows - even though it may not do much for you at the present time - puts
    you in a better position for the future.
     
    One extra point: the 64-bit version allows you to use more than the
    about 3.1 GB of RAM can be used by the 32-bit version. Very little
    people must or may make effective use more than 3. 1 GB, but if you
    are one of those that can, it's something else to consider.

  • CC Test version significantly slows the computer &amp; internet connectivity

    I downloaded Adobe CC as a trial version not so long ago, and since then my computer has slowed down considerably.

    Most affected is my internet connection, it's ridiculously slow even when I close all applications. This makes him send a simple email difficult.

    (I even tried to delete all programs except for Lightroom and Photoshop)

    Y at - it a setting I can change?

    Applications run constantly in the background, "opacifications around" and checking the update etc.?

    Any other suggestions?

    I really need to subscribe to Adobe CC once my testversion runs, but obviously I can't if this problem persists.

    Vanessav7521346 Adobe Creative applications are installed on your local computer.  If you fear that installation of Photoshop and Lightroom have affected your system performance and Internet connection so I recommend you to remove applications.  If this downturn is resolved, you can then reinstall each application to determine that can affect your computer.  You can find more details about the process of uninstallation and installation to Creative Cloud help | Download, install, update or uninstall applications.  We invite you to update this discussion if you have any questions about the installation and uninstallation process.

  • Extremely slow running VM XP in Windows 7 (7 post)

    I'm running a Windows 7 thinkpad with 4 GB of ram and a 2.4 GHz processor. When running an XP VM, I get unusually high processor utilization. I ran the same configuration (a laptop even slower) under WS 6.x with much better results. No idea as to what could happen? I've attached a screenshot of its use within the virtual machine.

    The host is Windows 7 RTM and virtual Windows XP SP3 machine.

    Thank you.

    Why you set up a virtual computer with 2 processors - your host should have at least 4 cores before such a framework works well.

    But in this case, I guess that there is also something wrong with the USB - if you do not need USB disable for a test

  • Mac keeps restarting and is very slow running

    Why not keep restart my mac and works very slow since I installed El Capitan?

    Most likely because you upgraded an already dysfunctional system without the first fix. Or your HARD drive may be faulty.

    Try these in order to test your system after each see if it is back to normal:

    1. a. reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

    b. Macs with Intel processors: reset of the controller (SMC) system management

    2. restart the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart again, normally. If this does not help, then:

    HD recovery start: restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and press and hold the

    COMMAND and R keys until it appears the Utilities menu screen.

    3 fix the hard disk and permissions: select startup drive in the Utilities menu utility. Fix the hard drive and the permissions as follows.

        When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. After loading disk utility select it

        back from Macintosh HD entry of the list on the left.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait for the operation

        ends, then quit disk utility and back to the main menu.

    4 reinstall OS X: restart from HD recovery Select reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, then click on the continue button.

    Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than wireless.


    When you get it working properly, and then download and reinstall OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 Combo Update.
