My lap top is a little slow to start (Windows 7)

I wonder if I can reduce the number of boot process to speed things up a bit. My machine boots OK and I get my desktop fairly quickly, but I have the little blue circle for a minute or two (I've not timed exactly).

In my Startup tab, I have the following processes running at startup...

Delay Launcher (Intel)

3 x commands UI Intel Comm

IDT Audio of PC

Alps Pointing Device Driver

Logitech setpoint

Intel USB Monitor

All this can I? Anywhere else I should look for process past at Start Up? Thank you.

Most, but not all tasks run at startup can be disabled without ill effects.  However, moving forward with caution because some are certainly needed for Windows 7 to run. Autoruns is the place to do it.

    Using the internet high speed, must be very fast to opening many pages and let me scan between all open websites with a fast refresh time.

    Discussions on the Forum, I speak on the forums a little and they take some time to refresh when I'm on 3-4 at a time, must be fast here.

    Photography and photoshop, I have downloaded the Adobe Lightroom 3 (when it is published) on the laptop. I'll also have a 500GB hard drive with pictures on this topic only. I expected import of external hd for photoshop. I don't want to wait all day to import and to work on pictures.

    I'll also watch DVD, including Blue Ray and I know the X 500 02 M supports this feature.

    I realize that this laptop is mainly for players, but will it also to meet my needs, I'm not a gamer so if there is something else out there, it's going to do the same job in Toshiba please let me know. I really care about this model well and I did a little research.

    Cheers, look forward to answers...

    To be clear, Qosmio X 500 is better portable multimedia designed by Toshiba and if you buy it you will have a new and more powerful hardware peace.

    After reading what you wrote, I think that it is a good decision to buy this laptop Qosmio.
    For best performance, you need to optimize OS preinstalled. What does deletes everything preinstalled, you do not need, install your favorite applications, disable or unnecessary processes and services, make sure that unnecessary applications do not start with the OS. I think you know what I mean and you probably don't have this already before you start using the operating system.

    I don't know how it works in Australia, but here, in Europe, you can buy some products and test for two weeks. If you don't like it you can return it. If it is the same in your country, buy it, test it and make sure that you choose the right product.

    Please inform us of your experience with this multimedia toy.

  • My lap top will not start now upward

    I installed the updates using the custom option, including hardware. My lap top now not start. I use Windows XP

    Although your experience seems more severe that much, it is never a good idea to get the hardware from Windows Update updates.

    The best rule on driver updates is: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    This means that, unless you have a problems with a device that you know will be set with a new or replacement driver or (b) need several new features provided by an updated driver, there is no reason to update your driver.

    Now that I told you what you shouldn't do, let's see if we can get you back to where you were.

    What happens when you try to start the computer?  If you get an error message, what is it (please do not paraphrase)?

    You can start the computer Safe Mode (F8 repeatedly just to tap after turning the power on tests)?

    Do you remember what hardware updates that you have installed?

    If you can start safe mode, log on using an account with computer administrator privileges.  You can use the built-in "Administrator" account (which should show on the homescreen mode without failure).  The default password (if you did not indicate a) is empty (that is, no password).

    If you can connect to an administrator account on the computer in Safe Mode AND you can remember what peripheral hardware (s) that you have installed new drivers for, then use the "Restore drivers" function for devices that you updated.  See
    http://www.TechRepublic.com/article/roll-back-your-drivers-with-Windows-XP/1046827
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306546

    If you can connect to an administrator in Mode safe account, but you can't remember what hardware updates that you have installed, things are a little more difficult.   Ago that something called 'Safe Mode with network', but Windows Update is not working properly in Mode safe unless you start messing around in the registry, you cannot use this method to return to Windows Update to see your update story and determine what material you updated.

    However, assuming that you have not disabled the system restore, which should have created a Restore Point in the framework of the installation of updates and/or new pilots.  See http://lifehacker.com/193546/geek-to-live--roll-back-windows-with-system-restore
    IF you have made no changes to your system since you installed the updates (especially if you have not installed or uninstalled applications), then log in as a user with privileges "computer administrator" and launch the system restore.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/ Pick Restore Point the most recent that is before installing the hardware updates (drivers).  If you use a Restore Point before installing all the updates of this session, return to Windows Update and update any material 'critical '.

    Note that although you can use Safe Mode system restore, if you do, you can't "undo" restore operation - which is something you can do if you use the restore system in normal mode - so keep that in mind before doing a system restore.

  • I have problems with my lap top which is been updated, but the older the other updates to the service pack file is still present?

    My lap top began to play up with the updates of some files windows service pack 3.5 have been introduced, and I tried to speed things up with the removal of some two files old service pack. He struggled with the race, the trash/delete was misplaced, files have disappeared behind a fictitious system restore. I tried to run Mr. Fix it and get the icon cache is indicated as an error of changing icons and does not repair. I'm doing Defrag disk to re - configure the HDD without losing valuable records and continue to get a size of insufficient volume of about 12% to reconfigure the hard drive. I tried to remove some files more since then and things are run faster by removing a lot of material from google. But the restoration of the system was not available to provide an overview of available programs. Is it because that the guest user is the amount of space drive, help or I may need to get a different system not running windows?

    Hello Luke,.

    About helping foreigners to Rodez computers was a hot topic among other Experts earlier this year.

    Many of us do not want did it for us or HP if help us someone access to a computer, that is not the responsibility.

    Sorry, not that you are one of those, but we have no way of knowing.

    Here are 3 different alternatives:

    1. If you forgot your password for Windows (local account on the drive) user account, there is a lot of online tutorials explaining how to create password reset media to change the connection. An account live windows 8.1 or 10 will have to be reset online via your microsoft account.

    2. you can also simply reset the computer to factory if the recovery partition is in place.

    Usually you can hit the Esc key repeatedly, until the options screen, then choose F11 for recovery.

    You will lose all data but if you have not already backed it up.

    3. you can take a shop. Most of the shops will be break for you if you can prove that you are the owner.

    Looks like it's overheating.

    Use Bing or Google to search for information on your particular laptop (maybe the support forum for your Dell, Toshiba, HP, etc.) and determine how to combat overheating.  You may be able to 'fix' it's using compressed air to clean the vents and/or using a cooling pad under the computer laptop and even run a small fan external imed in the inlet.  May not be recommended by people IT but I often run my old laptop without battery to reduce heating.  And of course, you might have a fan does not properly.

    Doubtful that the malware is causing your problem.   You have every reason to think otherwise - no evidence of infection
