MS Windows XP Pro very slow after installing updates

I have a computer that is running Windows XP pro. I put it to download updates but the choose me when to install updates. After installing some updates, the computer became so slow - especially during the same thaat start move the cursor of the mouse became a problem. Even the sound of windows when loging in is just sounds bad. This is the second time its happening. the first time that I had to format the hard drive and install windows again & evderything worked well until after the updates. I can't say what update is the cause of the problem, but am sure the problem is with some windows update. Any help will be greatly appreciated because I don't want to format the computer again, because later the question will come again unless I have disable windows update and live with the consequences.

Usually, I found that this happens when installing .NET updates - if you give the machine 20 or so minutes to regroup and then restart, the problem disappears usually.

  • Satellite L855-14R: games running very slow after installing Win 7

    Hi guys,.

    I have the L855-14R satellite, which came with windows pre-installed 8.

    I used win 8 during a time and games have been works ok.
    So I decided to install a copy of windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.

    I downloaded all the drivers from toshiba support and it seems to work fine until I started the same game I played before.

    He was running very very slow even on low graphics settings.

    No idea of what went wrong after the win 7 installation?

    Have Hmm you installed the driver of ATI graphics card?
    Maybe the game uses the Intel HD internal graphic that is part of the Intel Core i7-3630QM processor?

  • Windows 8 Pro boots slow after windows updates

    I have a PC I built a year ago to game, and I've recently updated to Windows 8 by formatting the hard drive and installing Windows 8 Pro OEM on my gaming PC. I installed the OEM version, because I had to get a new drive hard that had nothing installed on it and it needed a new operating system installed on it. It worked fine on Windows 8 for some time, about a month, until I installed updates to Windows that were made available, and after they have been installed, the next time that I turned off and turned on my PC, the startup was significantly longer than the last time. It doesn't when I start now it goes to the black screen with the clear blue windows symbol, but the circle dotted which indicates that initialization is in progress is going much more slowly than before until I installed updates to Windows. It takes about 5 to 8 minutes to start now, where it used to take about 10-15 seconds before start. I checked all my gear and this is very good, and I even ran chkdsk /r and sfc/scannow to check errors of software in a command prompt, but nothing is. Nothing else happens when it doesn't start, another that it starts more slowly than before, no error screens or messages. My computer does not have problems to start, especially for my equipment I have, which is upscale, since this is a gaming PC, compared with the normal work or personal computers, and like I said before, it used to start very well until the last group of windows updates.

    Here are the specs
    Tough - 1 TB SATA 7200 RPM drive
    CPU - AMD FX-4100 Quad Core 3.6 GHz
    GPU - AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5
    Power supply - 600W
    Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2

    Someone at - it solutions, or everyone knows these same questions? I would like to solve this, because it's a huge disadvantage to wait 5 minutes for a simple boot. I don't know what update is causing this, I installed several updates of the same day.

  • 2012 MacBook Pro VERY slow after restoring from time machine

    Recently, I upgraded my hard drive on a seagate drive. I went from 500 GB to 1 TB. The installation went well. Later, I followed the steps to set up the hard drive:

    1. start the computer by using the R command

    2. open disk utility

    3. formatting the new hard disk by the computer specifications

    4 closed disk utility

    Then I restored from a time machine to the top. It took about 3 hours I had about 350 GB of data to restore. Since that time, my computer is moving very slowly! For example, the start-up takes at least 15 minutes for loading applications. Between the tabs in Chrome takes about 45 seconds to a minute. Loading a new web page takes about 3 minutes or more. Open an application like Evernote can take 5-8 minutes. Same shutdown takes about 10 minutes.

    In a previous forum, someone suggested to take a look at errors in the console. I have no idea what it means. Can someone help me figure out what this topic?

  • PC became slower and slower after installing updates

    Original title: How can I uninstall all updates?

    Soon I updated my pc my pc become slower and slower every day n now when I want to uninstall all updates or want to keep wanted only updates there is no option to remove...

    PLEASE HELP ME.

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    After posting the Defragmenter report try some maintenance spare.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before the error occurred initially do not use this option.

    If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

    A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

    cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

  • Windows XP Pro SP3 slow navigation and performance of the Internet network

    I am running a Windows SBS 2008 domain with 70 clients - many of which are Windows 7 Pro (and not affected by performance problems) and other clients are Windows XP Pro.  Recently, apply 2 updates to all Windows XP clients to a problem of double authentication with RDP Server 2008 platform - two updates are http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969084 (install the RDC 7.0 client upgrade) and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951608 (adds the registry entry in Windows XP to enable CredSSP).  Now, the patches of handsets allow RDP clients to Server 2008 platform and enter the credentials of the user only once.

    However, given that these updates have been applied, about 7 of 20 Windows XP clients are extremely slow performance when searching for network resources (sharing drives, Outlook / MS Exchange and Internet browsing synchronization).  Not sure if the 2 patches are coincedental or related.  I tried rewriting changes from two patches, drivers NETWORK card and even tried to replace the NETWORK adapter with new ones.  No change in performance.

    However, can I uninstall / reboot / reinstall the Client of Microsoft Networks and clients perform as expected.  Over time (sometimes), the problem reappears.  I have been through the event logs and don't see any errors that indicate a failure to communicate on the network.  All clients receive assignments IP from the DHCP server and updates are managed via WSUS.

    Ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

  • my windows xp is very slow

    Please help me

    my windows xp is very slow, when startup is also very slow, that it takes 5 to 6 minutes only to windows startup. and when you open the app also very slow. I tried to clean up using reg cleaning etc. all the product (but trial ones), disk cleanup and defragmentation. I don't know what to do anymore.

    Please help me

    I suggest that you tell us more about your system and then do a few scans for malware and fix performance issues.

    It makes no sense to try to resolve a performance problem on the system without knowing anything about it or who might have an infection on this subject.

    I suggest you stop "try" things too and if you can tell us the names of the cleaner and other products that you have already tried that would be good to know (so we do not suggest that you already have).

    When we have a known starting point, then begin to fix things (don't try things).

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Fill in the blank: my system worked well until: _.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.
