My programs are opening and closing slowly

Member of the expensive Microsoft Answers Community:

My programs are opening and closing slowly from last night. Do you know why this could happen and if 'yes', what can I do to solve it?

Hello

Troubleshoot using these methods and you can try a system restore which I wouldn't do unless
nothing else has helped.

What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
strange problems).

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

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 - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

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

Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
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 - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.

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

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

How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
get new manually if you wish.

  • Use of the high memory when multiple tabs are open (and closed)

    When I open Firefox memory usage is around 70-100 MB RAM. When I work with Firefox I often open 15-20 tabs at once, then I close them and open others. Increaes of use up to 450-500 MB RAM memory. After the closing of tabs use decreases normally, but after some time. He begins to decrease very slowly and never returns to the level from the beginning. After a few hours Firefox uses about 400 MB of RAM, even if only one tab is open. First I thought it's because of my plugins (Firebug, Speed Dial, Adlock more) but I have checked and it is not. I reinstalled Firefox but the problem occurs as well. I don't know if this is normal. Could you help me, please?

  • I get Aero Lag when opening and closing windows in Windows 7

    original title: Aero Lag when opening and closing windows in Windows 7

    UPDATE!

    OK because here we have the ball, I'm changing it to better reflect what is happening. The links below are some of the hundreds of post, will find you on the internet about this Aero lag. Some offer workarounds and some are not. I just googled Aero Lag and it was on the first page.

    If you have the same problem, please provide:

    1. what kind of graphics card you have.
    2. what kind of driver are you using (Win7 preinstalled or drivers from the manufacturer)
    3. your version of Win7 has an update or a clean installation.
    4. what motherboard you have.

    From the sounds of it, Microsoft is looking for a solution.

    I also ask for the forum administrator to make a sticky like many people is facing this problem.

    Solved my problem with Aeor lag.

    Reinstall Windows 7 U64 twice with the new/old driver.
    Replaced Gforce 8800GTX with Gforce GTX480.
    Spent several days on this problem without solution.

    But here's a very simple solution that works for me.

    I removed the USB extension cablefor my CreativeHS - 1200WirelessUSB Gaming Headset.

    Aero lags when extension Iused USB and headphone load.
    Without extension USB cable, all right.

    So he thinks it's a USB extension cable voltagedrop, forces the system to lag. ?

    Hope this can help.

    You did the right thing by turning SR off on your external drive.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/tips.html#11

    There is no need to have the system restore check a partition which contains only data files.  Http://bertk.mvps.org/html/description.html (this is emphasis added)

    About the system restore

    • System Restore monitors changes to the system and saves the State of the system as a restore point. If a system problem occurs following a change of system, the user can return the system to a previous state by using a restore point data.
      Applications and the system can create restore points when changes made to the system occur. System Restore also creates checkpoints every 24 hours of absolute time. In addition, users can create manual restore at all time points.
    • System Restore does not restore user data or documents, so it will not cause users to lose their files, email, browsing history or Favorites. System Restore is also provided to users in safe mode, making it easier for them to reclaim their computers before that happens the problems. Note: a system of Safe Mode or restore the command prompt a cancellation restore point will NOT created!

    The monitoring system

    • System Restore monitors and restores a set of file system and application, the States of these files before the change of the archiving system. System Restore also records a snapshot of the registry (Note: some current registry values will persist) and some dynamic system files. When the System Restore detects that the user is not actively using the computer, (idle time) he compresses the registry and copies of any file made.
    • System Restore requires a minimum of 200 MB of free disk space on the system drive during the installation. When the amount of falls of free space on the disc below 50 MB on ANY monitored drive, System Restore goes into sleep mode and continues to create restore points. All restore points are deleted at that time. System Restore reactivates and resumes create restore points from 200 MB of free disk space on the system drive.
    • Files that are monitored or excluded from the monitoring are specified in the file % windir%\system32\restore\Filelist.xml. For more information, see Monitoring of file Extensions.

    Is there a way to search and replace the entire tag in dreamweaver?

    I want to take away all of the < span > tags in the document because it is an epub. But some of the <>spans are for the body and some are for another hairstyle, in this case italic. I can go through and just find and replace, but then who would only replace the opening < span > and not closing </span >, leaving a lot of open tags < em > to sift through. There are currently more than 1,500 cases of italic text in the book and I won't have trouble all by hand. What I want to do is to find the particular < span > tag and replace < em > < /em > both the opening and closing.
