• Backup of Windows 7 - way too slow

  Just got a new Dell XPS PC with processor i7 from Intel and Windows 7.
  Tried to run a backup using Windows 7.
  UGG!
  I have about 400 GB of data on my PC.
  I used to run backups on the old PC using backup in Vista and Seagate software provided with onw of my backup drives.  Full backup took 5-6 hours maximum.  I usually keep 3 backups.  Acronis on Vista also took a few hours and additional back were very fast.
  With Windows 7 after 18 hours, the backup is only 32% of fact.
  I pulled the plug.
  It will take almost a week to run backups 3 at this rate.
  Hard to believe it's also a great step backward compared to Vista.

  Someone at - he finds a way to get Windows 7 backup to run at an acceptable speed?

  I tried many things even microsoft recommended settings. found this awesome... its bloody work, thanks for the super brain who worked on it go to 1. Panel 2. System and Maintenance 3. Administrative Tools 4. Run shortcut once services program services expenses find called stop and service background intelligent transfer services a right click on the same service and click Properties and then change the value of start to manual or disabled, this should also fix the network problem and USB copy and paste the problem. Incredible problem solved

• Slow to the installation and the functioning of Windows 7 is too slow

  I upgraded from xp to windows 7. The installation took some time for most of the day! Once the operating system has been loaded it still takes a long time to startup as do anything once the operating system is loaded. Logo for the password startup takes - 5 min 30 sec. Password for desktop computer takes 4 minutes - 45 seconds. Someone has an idea, what is the cause. NOTE: only the operating system is loaded.

  Windows 7 64 bit
  Motherboard is an Asus P5N32-sli
  4gig of RAM, p3 3.0 core d, dep and active virtual
  hard drives are 2 sata WD 80 - running a stripped screw
  nvidia 7800 video cards double
  Disk one withdrew forms

  I tried to change to sata2 raid mode still the same
  vid drivers have been updated - no change
  BIOS is up to date

  UPDATE: I tried also change the sata drives 2 and still - slow installation and operation too

  Asus will likely provide you with the best Sata drivers. You can try to use a single monitor, to see if the impact of the problem.

• Still struggling with windows 8.1 implemented - slow

  I have an all-in-one Aspire Z3-605 with a ghz processor Intel Core i5-3337u Intel1.80.  I'm not a gamer, use the computer for crummy with genealogy and general use.  Had to reset the computer of 8.0 to 8.1 after the problems with the updates of the system in August 2014.  The computer worked FINE with 8.0 in terms of speed, so I know it's a problem with the installation of 8.1. I've only had to be upgraded because of problems with the upgrade updates the 8.1 safety Aug - Sep 2014 MS slowed the system analysis of a snail. I run avast1 and ASC pro to maintain the system and run Belarc Advisor regularly to ensure there are no problems.  I use Firefox and not IE as my main browser, BUT I still use FF.  IE is installed and updated for sites that need to access

  All of my updates of system are in place, I checked the drivers and updates those requiring an update [I think].  I don't know if it's an old software instalation driver [s] but I went on: us.acer.com.ac/en/US/content/drivers and copied off lists of pilots with the dates [which I assume are the latest updates].  So, now I check each one to make sure it's the latest driver?

  One of my other thoughts on speed is all the stuff that could start up when starts it.  I uninstalled McAfee, Norton, etc comes with Acer and all games.  BelArc analysis gives me approximate deadlines for the use of different programs so I guess I can turn off those little-used and which would give a little more speed.  I looked at all the processes running, but I couldn't identify many specific programs so am a bit wary of doing much with it.

  I would be recognizing any suggestion - of course I don't have any idea what to do.  I've been playing with this for over 5 weeks now and am about to lose.  I have a backup off site [Mozy] more external hard drive so I don't lose files but I can't do anything, try to make of genealogy online is a joke, and it's lightning fast with 8.0 [I have a DSL line that is reliable and fast enough for the rural region where we live].

  If you try to uninstall Avast, reboot and check the overall speed?

  Lenovo part No.: 59421845

  Purchase of: replacement/Exchange of Lenovo

  I wish I saw this thread until I did a factory restore. Well, at least its some comfort to know that I'm not the only one with this problem. I initially blamed the problem on my Razer Orochi 2013, but it turns out that was not the issue.

  And I agree a suitable fix is needed, the weather is a kind of BIOS or update the driver, but not a 3rd party work around. For a $1,200 + laptop, this should not be something that get just is swept under the rug with a 'temporary solution '.

• My R1 - 131 T N3050 configured with Windows 10 again is slow. A simple upgrade of RAM works?

  Also, I read the posts on the conversion of the SDD HARD disk, but it is unclear if this is possible with this model. Should I take it back to the shop of PCWorld and ask for my money back?

• Hearts game runs too slow to play in windows 7, even on fast computers

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas: I love playing hearts in windows while I'm waiting on other things to finish.  Since installing windows 7, I find hearts so painfully slowly that I can enjoy is no longer.  My computer has 2 processors xeon to dual-core @ 3 Ghz and 8 GB RAM with NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 video card, so I don't think it is hardware related.  I have disabled everything I can in the menu options, including animations, but the game is simply too slow to enjoy.

• How to check the drivers if the computer is too slow with XP

  Hello

  I have problems loading my XP.
  I´ll get a warning message (a gray pane / box) tell my server broadband can not run enough.
  My ISP server gave me the F-Secure program that I pay for it should protect me against viruses as well, but I can't search total
  the computer everywhere. The research program will stop and it is caused by some blockages in the system.

  After clicking this message here, that I can work as usual, run each program a.s.o. but it s too slow!

  I bought and run the antispyprogram, RegCleanPro several times and now my computer is clean, no spyware programs left.
  I have installed and run the Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft Security Scanner and Windows defender but got the same positive response.
  It seems to be OK.

  But how to detect other "locks" that may have struck the system on my drivers to see which ones should be updated?

  Not to mention that I failed to update the last two files of 15 total (13 have been updated). Those who fail are:

  KB 928416, Microsoft.NET Framework 3.0 for x 86 language pack.
  KB968930, Win.PowerShell2, 0-Wn.Ram2, 0 (XP) and win embedded.
  (I hope that the description of each is correct but the KB # s are right).

  In short, how to go through the computer to find which prevents smoothly?

  First of all, you can have MSE and windows defender at the same time. It can be a real-time antivirus, everything must be on-demand. When you have installed MSE, he should have said to disable Windows defender.

  This can cause a slow machine due to conflicts.

  Here's a checklist for installing MSE:

  After the installation, perform the following steps:

• laptop (Dell Inspiron) with Windows 7 Home Premium is now slow to most of the activities - loading of the pages in the browser, etc.

  I heard that after a few years of use, Windows-based computers lose their ability to function. This happened to me before and I bought a new laptop. Now, I think that it happens again. The laptop (Dell Inspiron) with Windows 7 Home Premium is now slow to most of the activities - loading of the pages in the browser, etc... He is also declining my VPN connection occasionally, but also my direct connection is very slow. Latency shows speedtest software provided by the ISP in addition of 250 ms, download speed of 1 MB/s (compared with 8 planned) and 0.05Mbps download. The ISP has corrected this once, but I'm wondering now if it is the computer which is slow rather than on the network because my laptop works well on the same network/router. Is there one solution to this other than another new laptop?

  Jonathan,

  You say that your computer is slow, but all of the examples you give are rather than slow computer operations slow network communications.  To avoid any unnecessary work, check how fast the computer is on the tasks that don't use any network.

  If it works fine for tasks not network then you can concentrate on the problems of network as being the only concern.

  It has also become very slow for no network tasks you should study other causes.  Just as an example: If, like me, you sleep / turn off the computer when you are not using it then defrag will never work, so you can run it manually to make sure that doesn't cause problems.   Describe your symptoms in this thread so that someone can advise on the best course of action.

• I have a HP laptop with Windows 7 (OS) with 64 bit, but very slow. Can you suggest a way to start my fast pc.

  I have a HP laptop with Windows 7 (OS) with 64 bit, but very slow. Can you suggest a way to start my fast pc? Most of the time it doesn't quite work.

  Hello

  There are a number of possible reasons, your computer may run slowly - virus infection or malware, missing to defragment the hard drive, too many programs loading at startup - and all with different causes / solutions. So here goes:

  Virus/Malware - Download, install and run these scanners (only Avast so you do not have your own antivirus installed):

  Malwarebytes': http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html .

  SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html .

  Avast Antivirus: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html .

  Disk Defragging - install and run this app: http://download.cnet.com/Auslogics-Disk-Defrag/3000-2094_4-10567503.html .

  Startup programs - install this application, then select start only the programs you need to run at startup, as your antivirus, firewall, but not your Disk Defragmenter (examples):

  Splash Guard: http://download.cnet.com/Startup-Guard/3000-2239_4-10958203.html.

  Also, your system's drivers are up-to-date? Updated the driver can also slow down your system. Go to HP.com and insert the complete your laptop model number in the search box to find your latest drivers.

  Let me know if these speed up your pc.

  Kind regards

• Equium A60 very slow with Windows XP SP 2

  This Toshiba unit very boots very slow, it takes forever to get started it got a software firewall installed but it is not correct that it really takes ages to boot up a laptop like this. I have searced for a few updates here, but I have not really found something. Is there a known issue with windows xp and sp 2 for this laptop?

  Do you have any adviecs?

  Concerning
  Matts

  Hello

  I had the similar problem with my Satellite P10. After installation of SP2, the startup procedure takes much longer. Check please the processes that start to run and disable some of them if you n t need them.

  Have you installed SP2 or it is also to the recovery image?

  In my opinion, it is not specific for certain just usual laptop models. My second unit (without SP2) starts a lot faster.

• Windows 8.1 ReadyNas with sync - when online very slow file access

  Hello

  I use the latest firmware 6.4.2 and network of NAS drives, I use with the Windows synchronizes 'offline' feature to make them. Operating system is Windows 8.1. I'm the only user with the 8.1 and only synchronize the network of NAS drives. Access the NAS online with the NAS is terribly slow, that sometimes it takes 2 minutes just to access a folder that is not on the first level of training, but at a lower level. I have no idea what kind of question it is. It occurs in two cases during the active sync, and also when I'm 'just' online in the network that is a gigabit ethernet.

  Best regards, Jens

  You have disabled NAS Antivirus service?

• Computer Dell laptop with Windows 7, upgrade to IE9 and now the computer is slow

  Original title: did someone really knows what I need to do?

  I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 (I have set accidetally to level internet explorer to 9 widows. I need to Java and Adobe. But my computer is slow. I do not know what prorams that I need to run start or to uninstall... Someone really knows what I need to do?

  FYI: with a topic like this, you have 2 strikes against you. Most of the people don't bother wasting time looking to see what your problem...  Next time be brief and specific about your problem, is to give an application (with version) and the code error or describe your problem briefly.

  If you don't want to be a Guinea pig, you can follow these instructions to uninstall Explorer 9:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Internet-Explorer/help/IE-9/How-do-i-install-or-uninstall-Internet-Explorer-9

  Looks like you want to control the programs that run at startup, right? It is always a good thing to do. You can run MSCONFIG (type in the search window on the start menu).  See the "Startup" tab  So, you can use other applications to display the same information. For example, CCleaner has a 'tool' that does the same thing.  NirSoft does: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/what_run_in_startup.html

  Browse the list of questions, and if you decide all. For example many applications load stub apps to speed up their startup. If you do not use all the days of the app, uncheck the box and it does not load.  If you do not recognize, this is often the case, track the location of path or to register 'Command' to try to understand what program it is for.  Use google to search for file names. Other people have asked the same question and got answers on the importance of the application is.

  Related, another thing to work is 'Services' (new type who, in the start menu, look for the window). They are a special software that runs in the background to provide services such as faxing or printing. Yet once, often you need not all services.  You can find a lot of information on how to do this in Google search for "Harden Win XP" or related expressions. They call it "Soak" because in this context deactivation of services makes your computer safer, more 'hard' hack by eliminating the places to be hacked.  Don't you worry that many of the articles are 5 or more years, they will be still valid.  Here are some links to help you get started:
