my new laptop is very slow.

my new laptop is very slow. I get a message "high utilization of the processor by windows media sharing", even if the windows media does not run.

Hello

1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?

2. what version of Windows are you using?

I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps.

Method 1: SFC scan run on the computer to ensure that the system files are intact:

How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

Method 2:

a. go to the Media Player.

b. in the menu-> file-> manage libraries-> select each library (music, video, photos, TV recorded (if you have)

c. check the paths that he manages and make sure it is not too near the root of the C: drive.  For example, it should be something like c:\users\Jim\Music and c:\users\Public\Music BUT NOT c:\users because they will cause the whole directory to re tree - index over and over (when you surf the web, or change files in your profile).

    recently purchased a samsung NX30 camera which came with lightroom 5, after several hours of searching on Google I got it setup properly with the right camera raw to be able to access my raw images. I found that my old laptop is very slow during the processing of hundreds of images that I usually take on a weekly basis.  I bought a new faster laptop, but when I looked for the cd with the software of series and I couldn't find in the mess of Christmas.  I downloaded a trial version of lightroom and got, it works on my new laptop. Is there a way to access the serial number of my version already installed and insert it in the version of track to make it work for me?

    Myron

    If you take the time to register to your original with Adobe installation (which most people do not), you can log in to your Adobe account and get the serial number. If you use a Windows computer and still have access to the old computer where Lightroom is installed, you can do the following:

    1. in the window folder options, make sure that you are able to see hidden folders.

    2. go to the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom folder.

    3. use Notepad to open the file, Lightroom 5.0 Registration.lrreg

    You will be able to retrieve your serial number of this file.

    Hi Gianni,

    I use Nero to burn DVDs, and one of the configurable options is the task of "priority". If I set it to 'high' then my phone behaves as you described, that is very slowly. Check if you have you encode/burn too high task priority.

    You have additional toolbars in browsers?

    Maybe your hardware is a failure.

    "Hard drive has failed and is in PIO Mode (IDE only - not applicable for disks SATA drives). It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information -http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

    If the hotfix registry PIO only 'glue' (or you have a SATA drive), the drive is probably faulty and needs to be tested.

    To check your RAM:

    Tests with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . Download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the 3rd party software as an image, not as burning data. A good 3rd party software is www.imgburn.com by (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Task Manager

  • Laptop is very slow with two sequences of black screen.

    Hello world

    My Acer Aspire 5552 G Win 7 SP1 (64-bit) laptop has been extremely slow starts lately and I think I know what the problem is just not how to fix it.

    A little backstory. Recently, my computer has been infected by a trojan. The incident occurred three weeks ago (26 December) when I was sent a link (which supposedly contained a picture of trade offers) on Steam which directed me to download a file (.scr). I downloaded but he was suspicious of being (.scr) file extension. So I scanned with my antivirus (Kaspersky Internet Security 2015) and it has not found anything. (I should also mention that when you click on the link to access the site Kaspersky also has not blocked the site either).

    I stupidly executed the file (I have the permit after UAC) and the Trojan horse went to work. My Steam profile all my friends malicious links sent to the same link of that initially, I downloaded the Trojan horse. She also sent the commercial offers of my Steam account.

    After having read what made the Trojan horse, I immediately rebooted my computer in safe mode and performed a full scan with Kaspersky. In conclusion scans Kaspersky detected a piece of malware, a Trojan horse - Ransom.Win32.Blocker.gbqs. I was very worried at this point because I didn't want my hard drive becomes encrypted. Kaspersky was able to remove the Trojan horse.

    I restarted my computer in normal mode and everything seemed fine. However, I was paranoid that Kaspersky may have missed other malicious programs. So I downloaded and installed AVG, Malwarebytes, Spyhunter 4 and McAfee Scan Plus. All of these additional programs never detected any virus or Trojan horses (although Spyhunter 4 detected many internet trackers).

    So I uninstalled these additional programs and now I just Kaspersky. It's been three weeks constantly restart my PC and so far I have access to all my files and disks, so it looked like Kaspersky has successfully eliminated this ransomware.

    Now to my problem actually is (as indicated in the title). My laptop undergoes two sequences of black screen.  One is after the windows logo start (approximately 45 seconds) and after the Welcome screen (which is about 5 minutes).

    It's very annoying. Before all this started my laptop took only about 45 seconds of the power on button office ready.

    I appreciate any help, thanks.

  • My laptop is very slow

    I find this site very useful and if I m asking a lot of questions that I know not much about how things work.
    Question: my computer runs very slowly to get on the web pages. I did a virus check and everything is OK. I also did a check for spyware, OK. I deleted temporary files and do a disk cleanup and Disk Defragmenter. It seems always slow. If I use wireless that would make it slower than the cable to the modem?
    Someone has an idea of what I can try please?

    Hello

    As Sam says the wireless connection is a bit slow as a cable connection, but it is a difference to reduce.
    But of course, you should test the connection of the cable if the Web site transfer is faster.

  • New laptop is suddenly slow: Windows 8

    My laptop worked perfectly well without any problems. One day, I turned on my laptop and it said that my firewall was disabled. I found it strange and tried to activate the firewall of windows defender, but every time I tried, nothing would happen. Then I started to receive notifications that my McAfee Firewall has been disabled. My laptop came with a trial of McAfee, but I no longer use it, I have Avast antivirus. After these notifications is appeared about 3 or 4 times, my laptop, then started running slowly. Google chrome does not open, the Task Manager does not, in fact the computer closed off chance downs saying 'an error occurred', or it will freeze just say its unresponsive. All this occurred spontaneously. Now it will always run slow or just freeze, but when for some reason any does not slow down or stop, it will work fine for a short period of time and then freeze. The laptop is around the age of 3 months and has Windows 8. I also tried several times to restart the computer, but it stops responding during restart.

    I think only about how this could have happened, is that there is some sort of virus, antivirus and firewalls were send me notifications. I have also tried to conduct analyses of the system complete, but just, the computer stops responding and stops at 1%.

    Hi ChadYT. I was wondering if you solved this? Thank you. LZ.
