My slow system running Windows XP.

My XP system is constantly slow. I checked the settings and the time processor is defined to support the programs that I use (rather than those running in the background). I don't know what else to do to speed up the processor. Any thoughts? See you soon.

Hi MarkSmith_872,

  • Windows Update error Code 80246008 on system running Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a problem installing the Windows updates on my system (running Windows 7).

    Windows Update tells me that I have three important updates, but when I try to download, it tells me that they do not have.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    All the best, Greatdaytobealive

    Norton applications are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. See if the following solves your problem:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application (for example, Norton 360 2010) using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8 test cycle.

  • I have a 64-bit system running Windows 7. I could not get the AutoPlay to open whenever I insert a CD or a DVD.

    I have a 64-bit system running Windows 7. I could not get the AutoPlay to open every time I insert a cd or a dvd, I changed the settings to Ask Me to Windows Media Player to open with Windows Explorer... but nothing I tried introduced the feature of AutoPlay to life.

    Is there a solution

    original title: AutoPlay Windows 7

    It worked for me: I forgot where I got it, could have been here if it's a little different from what I've seen above

    PIECE AUTO REPAIR
    USING GROUP POLICY EDIT
    gpedit.msc in search
    Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Windows\ Policies\ will disable Autoplay.

    In the REGEDIT HELP: Group Policy Editor is not provided with Windows Home editions, however, you can use regedit to achieve the same result.

    Open regedit and locate the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

    Change: NoDriveTypeAutorun to 0 x 91

    If necessary, create this key as a DWORD.

  • Make an ISO of a system running (Windows XP Pro SP3)

    I have a few HW record that has ONLY the drivers to run on XP - I DO have a Windows XP machine!

    I just upgraded to a machine more powerful and you have installed

    Windows XP Pro SP1, then

    Updated til SP3, then

    upgrade to SP3

    and then I installed all my SW - Total use on the 11 GB disc - and the machine is runing like a dream!

    It's a job to do all this, so I was wondering if I cam make an ISO of the entire installation file - because it's 11 GB there must be on severel DVD?

    If not the whole installation, then only the OS would be very nice to make an ISO of only one file.

    If yes how can I do that?

    Yes, use a disk imaging software to create an image of the entire hard drive.  In fact, if you have an external hard drive - reasonable size, you can (and should) make periodic images of the disk as backups.

    A diagram would be to do an image immediately after the system has been setup as you wish.  Then make a series of periodic backup images, with the frequency of backup images depending on how often you make major changes and the number of backup images (before throwing 'old') depending on the size of your external hard drive.

    Here are a few representative programs.  Most created images or clones, but some may be cloning applications only.  Some are free, others are not.  Vs clone image

    If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

    655 Toshiba with windows 7 never be able to run windows 10.  The list on the website of Toshiba is not Satellite 655 as one that is capable of upgrade to Windows 10.  My question is this: that I can do for this laptop to be upgraded to Windows 10, or he will never be able to run Windows 10?  I expect updates on your part, Toshiba, other owners a L655 and other forums with an answer to my problem!  I saw anything regarding my problem.

    I'm not someone who has the money to buy a new PC, and I don't like Windows 7.  But I read recently that you people will more or less force all the world to Win 10 and I did not speak of those of us who want to win 10, but own systems which are not compatible with it. I and others with the same question will be able to book a copy of Windows 10 once the year of free updates are passed?

    I checked 10 Windows and it looks like a BONE I could if more time to check it out. However being a faithful disciple of Microsoft, I always choose Windows NT as my first pic and Windows 7 as my second choice. They are almost identical and are very user friendly for those of us with the technology background. Until I retired from teaching, I had the opportunity to have and use Windows NT as an advantage for having participated in a seminar of MS-DOS in the early 1990s. Once I found Windows 7 I was just as happy with it as I was with NT. There, because I hope you can help me with my problem and send me a reply to the e-mail.

    Looking forward to your response and once again thank you for everything you do.

    1st off there is a forum led by peers, you do not directly contact Microsoft in any form of official duties. The site can be read by anyone, including your personal information. The forum software can pick up and block email addresses but not your home address.

    2nd it is down to the individual manufacturer if they will support their legacy hardware running the software update. Microsoft provides the pre version of the software to them, but in this case, it is entirely to Toshiba, if they want to support a particular device. That they would get no special recipe if it requires some investment is extremely likely. Perhaps that the system runs Windows 10 without additional drivers, but the original system specifications is very low. Forum Toshiba may have someone who has tried and you could experience yourself, just make sure you have backup an recovery options before you start.

  • When I try to load on my PC, I get an error 'Setup cannot initialize' on a new installation of CS6 Design and Web Premium. I am running Windows 7. I tried several solutions without success. Please notify.

    error.jpg

    This is the error message when you try to install my CS6 Design and Web Premium, I received. I tried installing on another computer using Windows 7 without any problem, so I tend to believe that the problem is with Windows 7 on my machine. I recently had to do a clean install of the original operating system (Vista) and then to reload my upgrade to Windows 7. I tried to close all programs, including my Microsoft Security Suite and reinstall with the same result. I also tried to rename the Files\Common\Adobe\OOBE to OOBE.bak and resettlement program. I got the same result. I checked the logs of the fatal errors and did not. Any suggestions on how to fix this? My system is a 32-bit system running Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 and is up-to-date on all the latest updates. Download, installation, setting up

    Hello

    I use Windows 8 and had a very good race with the system. but for these last days, I will have a slow system or is unresponsive.

  • Win2008r2 x 64 very slow VM running under Windows 7 Ultimate x 64

    I have searched in the nets and have seen similar problems. However, I just wanted to see if anyone has had the time to fix the issues that I am experiencing. Bascially,: the performance is so bad when you perform an initial installation developer that I shudder to think of what it will be like in normal use. You name: copies of the host is slow, running installs it variety takes an eternity, but the classic is when I installed windows 2008R2 x 64 has taken more than 6 hours to format the 80 GB drive, copy files across and complete the installation.

    In any case, I try to configure a 3.51 .NET / MOSS 2007 Developer of windows 2008R2 x 64 installation. I do this on a labtop to 2.2 Ghz AMD Turion X 2 recently acquired running Windows 7 Ultimate.x64. I have 4 GB of RAM and the usual WIFI Attheros. First of all, I chose VMWare Server 2.01 because it supports USB2 and 64-bit, instant clients while Virtual PC 2007 does ' t.

    Win2008R2 comments

    1. Memory of the VM value first 1 GB 2Gbto see if ifit makes much difference

    2. 2 vCPU

    3. CDROM installed

    4. VMWareTools... haven't tried to install it but page left summary seems to indicate I have not, not sure if it would substantially improve performance.

    5. Bridge networ_k_

    Things to try

    Looking at this networking wire Workstation 6.5 on Windows Vista x 64 host - bridged is broken! The performance of the network very slow folder shared! I should conider

    1. Check that in the laptop BIOS VT is enabled by default - I assumed it was.

    2. Reduction in the number of vCPUs to 1

    3. Drop the CDROM

    4. Ensure that VMWare Tools is fully installed

    5. Deactivation of windows 7 next host card connection network Local - & gt; Configure - & gt; Properties - & gt; Advanced: Large Send Offload v2 (IPv4) and Large Send Offload v2 (IPv6). Remember I'm toward the life of a wifi connection, so this may or may not have any effect

    6. Anything else anyone can think please...?

    I guess I just need some advice to help solve this painful problem, as it is to distract me from what I should do on the guest o/s...

    If you have done nothing yet, try first assign to VM 1 GB and 1 vCPU. Do never set more than 50% of memory available VM vive.
