My Satellite laptop Vista preinstalled running slow

Hello

I use Vista Home Premium on my Toshiba laptop and everytime I open any folder for example my document, my computer it takes about 10 seconds to load properly, can someone help me please because its makin me depressed especially when I bought it not long ago. Here's my laptop specs...

Toshiba, Windows Vista Home Premium
Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2370 1.73 GHZ, 2 GB Ram

Hello

What cell phone do you have exactly?

I must say that a fact that a Vista needs 10 seconds to open a file doesn't mean that your laptop is running slowly.
There are many reasons why Vista needs a little more to open a folder.
First he must know that Vista needs a lot of material resources; more than a Win XP or other Windows operating system. In addition, the high amount of background processes can slow down the Vista.
Last but do not rent if an antivirus program is installed on the laptop, then this could slow down the performance too because each file is activated by the Antivirus before opening.

What you could do is to start the msconfig and you can check in the Startup tab if there are processes and applications that are not important for you.
Then you can turn it off.

Good bye

  • How install display driver for Satellite a Win XP running?

    I recently got rid of my Satellite laptop Vista and had XP installed.
    I need to install the display driver (for ATI Radeon video card) that I had to download from this site.
    How to install the driver?

    When I reinstall the driver the system can not find.
    What I am doing wrong or do I need to run first?

    There are as many files I don't know... I tried to start implementing, but that did not help.

    Thank you

    This is an original page ATI display driver?

    Look, man. You should get a display driver has published on the European driver Toshiba page. These drivers are pre-tested and configured for mobile use.

  • Slow USB data transfer to Vista preinstalled Satellite Pro P100-465

    Hello

    The transfer of data through my USB ports to and from remote devices seems very slow. I installed vista and tried to update to the latest Intel drivers for the controller 82801G, v8.2.0.1008 however, this does not seem to improve things.

    I noticed in the list only one of the controllers is listed as USB 2, I'll try each and see if one is faster, once completed the transfer of current 1/2 hour. Does anyone know if only 1 port is USB 2 or if there is any way to speed up their all?

    Also in general the transfer of files in vista is painfully slow I tried different solutions but none have offered a lot of improvement. This is a disappointing performance, and I am trying to install XP to improve performance; However, that seems like a step back, and would be very embarrassing. Does anyone know if improvements are underway?

    Best regards

  • After getting my A200 Satellite games run slower

    I have a laptop Satellite A200 - 14 d with Vista (32) that came pre-installed. I had to format and use the product recovery DVD for vista reinstalled with all the drivers.

    The problem is: before formatting, according to me, there was another application installed for the video card, which now she either. Also games run slower. Until the format in the Device Manager to display adapters there were 2 things. The pilot who has reinstalled successfully and something else I don't remember what it was and who does not also install after the recovery of the product operation...

    Then. can someone tell me which software I can use to improve the performance of my 7300 GO game?...

    Hello

    > The problem is: before formatting, according to me, there was another application installed for the video card that now he not more
    Do you think that it was preinstalled or are you 100% sure?

    Believe me, the same operating system and the software that was preinstalled on your laptop is on the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    The software is the same.
    So if you want to define the notebook to factory setting you should use the recovery CD ;)

    Is that all the games work more slow on Vista. This OS feeds more resources than XP.
    So if you want to play games faster I advise to use XP

    Hi friends

    Since I bought this machine, I am not happy.
    There is a problem: he works so slow than other laptops and they have inferior properties.
    I don't understand.

    I almost have to break. I've done all the tips (uninstall tempro, stop the backround programs, program viruses... etc) but it's the same.
    -J' I want to listen to an mp3 that is not open for ten seconds, watch the movie it is not open again for 9 to 10 seconds.
    -i wana to connect to a site web it freezes
    -for example the search for Messenger is taking once again for secondssssss
    -implementation of xp, it is hourssss
    but the machines of my friends who have inferior properties are so fast

    Is there someone has this machines? It has the same problems? or only I have these problems?

    Thank you very much right now.

    Hi mate

    > Configuration of xp, it is hourssss
    This means that you have tested the laptop under Win XP?

    How did you install the Win XP? Have you installed using AHCI mode (in BIOS) or you switch to compatible mode?

    By using the compatibility mode that HARD drive could run slower and this could affect the performance of the operating system.

    Solution: You must install the Win XP in AHCI mode. I think the laptop supports the AMD chipset and the required drivers are therefore part of the ATI graphics chip.
    Download the graphics driver, choose the drivers SATA and include it in the Win XP disc using nLite application. nLite is free and all details can be found in the internet.

    the mic input is enabled)

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pilots may also need to be updated:

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek high definition
    Audio (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

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

    then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check

    Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine

    You have an Acer laptop, Packard Bell Windows Vista computer running?

    Packard Bell OEM Windows can only be used on machines from Packard Bell.

    If the label says XP, then the machine was initially delivered with XP,

    and the one who sold you the machine will rip you off with an illegal copy of Vista.

    If you can, get your money back.

    If not, you will have either to reinstall XP, or get a legitimate copy of something more recent.
