My computer is so slow. Do not know what to do?

can someone please help me solve this? I opened my laptop, turn it on and turn on and everything but it's just stupid slow short. Not normal at all. Don't know to fix "Please HELP!"

  1. Update your AntiVirus package and run a scan full to see if she can find something nasty.
  2. Check out these tips - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/speed-up-your-pc
  3. If still then as a quick test, start in a "clean boot" is no joy a normal speed? If this is useful, do not leave it to the boot, but use it to investigate.
  4. If still no joy, then in "Task Manager" (click "Show processes from all users") are all processes (on the process tab) using a lot of CPU or memory? If the PC is essentially inactive "system idle process" should probably be at the top of the CPU usage list.

    And need to update your video drivers:

    Could be a nuisance pilot. Update your drivers manually looking at system manufacturer and
    Sites of the manufacturer of the device.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones

    Hello Wanda.

    One command, but lets see what we can do to whittle the list down. First, dial-up internet connection is slow, so keep that in mind that we work here.

    Second, almost all your startup programs are valid and advised to load at startup of Windows. Some possible changes:

    (1) If you need not a specific to Java, such as might have the game that you are trying to play, so you don't need to have it is launched at startup.

    (2) regarding the Adobe programs, why do you have Acrobat on your computer? Do you need to create PDF files? Adobe Reader which has many freeware alternatives that are faster, used to read PDF files. So if you need only to read PDF files, you can stop Acrobat from loading at startup.

    (3) other startup programs are all legitimate. And remember, just because you do not start a program at startup, does not mean that you cannot start later if you find that you don't need it.

    (4) the problems you encounter to "all sites that you visit" could be a function of malware. You don't have AVG Antivirus running on your computer just? I recommend do you a scan in depth and then put in quarantine and remove any infections it finds.

    (5) after you run the virus scan, I suggest that you try to download and run these two scanners. First MalwareBytes' Antimalware, here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.  Secondly, SUPERAntiSpyware, here: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html. Quarantine and remove all infections they find.

    (6) after doing this, restart your computer and see how it works. Please post your results here, and if you have any questions during this process, post here and I'll help you. Let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite L755D-S5104 - does not know what the problem

    Hello
    I keep a L755D-S5104.
    AMD A6 3420 M with Radeon 6520G
    4 GB of Ram
    500 GB hard drive.

    The problem with my laptop recently is that I am getting i/o device error (WriteToDisk) errors thus the laptop hangs / crashes with a screen of jibberish/sand-of looking.

    So far, I got error screen with my PC as well before and I'm pretty sure it's because of the unstable driver for video/chipset. I solved as before with the installation of older drivers (but for my laptop, I can't find a choice of versions)

    I don't know if my hard drive is the cause which as well (due to the error WriteToDisk) since mainly these two errors occur at the same time. Maybe my drive is in good health, but the video/chipset driver is causing the problem?

    My laptop temperatures are normal and there is no noisy fan noise etc.

    HDTune bad block scan displays the status of my drive HARD 100% OK but the chkdsk /r utility accidents near about 45000/67000 (screen white/jibberish causes), also, I have attached my laptop HARD drive to my computer and run the chkdsk utility it without error.

    I don't know what to do? Given that I've hardly know his choice of drivers for S5104. The error started to appear since the last two days and before that my laptop was perfectly fine.

    Post edited by: zeineb

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is. What you can try is to do some tests and, as I see you do this very well.
    Try to get the new HARD drive and install original recovery image on it and to experiment with the settings and clean the preinstalled OS. If you do this thanks for posting comments.

    By the way: all the drivers, you should be able to find on http://support.toshiba.com/drivers
    Just put Satellite L755D-S5104 from here and you will get the list of all available drivers.

  • OfficeJet 4650: Can not know what connection type to use for my OfficeJet 4650.

    OK, I'm very "technically challenged" here, so bear with me.  I had a HP Deskjet 3454 and unplugged the connections between it and the tower. I thought that the same ports on the back of the old printer compatible with the new printer... ports would not be so.  There was also a small black adapter with a purple connection on one end and a connection of two pins at the other end on the old printer.  I don't know what to do with that and my new printer...  The instructions say "no USB cable included" and I don't know what to look for when I go to Best Buy.

    I have an ATT router connected to my computer, but no ports on this subject corresponds to nothing on the printer, so I don't think that I have a "wireless connection".

    You can see that I really don't know much about connections, good!   Help!  I had to USE MY PRINTER.  Thank you.
