My ThinkPad T61 VERY VERY VERY and I mean VERY slow at the start why?

Hello

I just bought ThinkPad T61 brand new, for $500

Speed: 2.0

Memory: 2048

I mean this should be pretty quickly.

in any case, it takes about 5 to 6 min just to start upward and its windows XP Server 2003 with Service Pack 3

and I only have one installed program, its air and nothing else, the computer is still slow like that, even my 2 friends bought the same computer and as slow as mine, his

and if you guys wonder why its cheap, because in my University they sell it at this price for everyone (even the poor guy) to buy a good laptop for a good price.

So what do you of the problem, my friend told me that his perhaps because of windows server 2003 with SP3, but I do not know, and when my University gives me the laptop, they don't give you a CD format, so it's saying I can't get it back to the original Setup, but I think to buy a new CD the problem I can't find XP more, every store I see have Vista only.

so do you think I'll buy Vista so I could have a fast computer instead of a SLWOOOO, and if I go to Vista, is touch pad, the track point and the finger print thing will continue to operate, (I want to say is a drivers for windows Vista)

I know I write a lot, but please help me guys to get the best out of my computer.

Thanks in advance

Hello

Congratulations on your new Thinkpad! And Yes, it will be fast enough.

I would suggestt to uninstall Antivirus like Norton or to get an update for Norton 2009.

AntiVir and AVG are doing a good job too. Uninstall firewall thirdparty, if it is installed.

If you install Vista then, we will work all programs. Install Vista and download the program

Homepage of Lenovo system update.

It will install all the necessary drivers for you, even for XP, if basic a copy.

For more information, read own Vista installation NB guide

Or XP clean installation guide

    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.

  • PR CC Pro very slow on the new custom build and lag?

    I just finished my new workstation of the construction and the first port of call was the first Pro CC installation! This version was specially designed for video editing, but I'm sad to discover that Premiere Pro is very slow and laggy. There is a lag when you click too quickly, clicking on between lag and the causes of windows (mixer audio/source/effects clip) a shift and the new window takes a second to load if you scroll down. The report is the biggest problem it will take A long TIME!

    When rendering I noticed that my CPU uses only 40 to 50%. I don't know if this is normal. If someone could help me use my material, I would be very grateful!

    I tested Premiere Pro using some HD footage that I ripped off of YouTube. Acceleration GPU of Mercury Playback Engine is selected.

    Could be. Or could with this material, you need different settings.

    I have a new machine and the manufacturer has played with a lot of things... it is Variant Canyon one hell 4-core i7, primary core @ 4.6Gzh, other three to 3.5 Ghz, fsb too clocked at 166 Mhz and curiously, RAM & the three slowest nuclei have been slightly underclocked due to the way which they interface actually more quickly with these settings. By report to my previous machine, also a 4-core, it's SMOKING. On first commissioning with everything to 'standard' settings, it is faster but not Mary. At the time where he played with the settings, wowie... just kazowie note the difference in performance with changing parameters, you can re - think about the configuration of your machine. Although, of course, you can correct that there is a problem in a hardware store.

    More on the page of the Tweaker is discussed for the fsb, CPU, and frequencies RAM shook everything to get as much flow. There are things like that that can make a huge difference in performance.

    At this point, I can't emphasize too much on using the test on the page of the Tweaker to see where you machine is doing well and where it chokes... the test is a folder compressed with a file media & project plus a logging program. You extract all, install the deposit return program on your machine, import the project into PrPro with his single on the chronology of 30 seconds and run an export. The sequence specifically chose the applied effects so that every bit of material are in tatters on... CPU, RAM, GPU, fsb and disk read/write. You download the results of the logging program and to obtain an accurate statement of how perform every part of your machine. This would probably tell you more than anything else right now.

  • My wifi/internet is very slow since the IPhone Update 9.3.4.

    I have an IPhone 6 and since the update (3 days ago) my wifi/Internet is very slow.

    Minutes of need for pages to load, and the App Store and the ITunes App not to load any. Photos and videos need a time very Long if they work at all.

    The wireless router is not the problem because my laptop works fine with it.

    Thank you for responding!

    Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom.

    Alternatively, you can try to reset the App Store first, since it won't load at all. Please follow these steps:

    Close the App Store completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the App Store preview pane until it disappears from the display. Then sign out of the iTunes Store (in the settings).

    Then restart the unit.

    Then sign into the iTunes Store and try to download again.

    (1) restart you device.

    (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

    (3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth). Channels 1, 6 or 11 are recommended for 2.4 band.

    (4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

    (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

    (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

    (8) backup and restore the device using iTunes. Try to restore as New first and test it. If ok try to restore the backup (the backup may be corrupted).

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201252

    (9) go to the Apple store for the evaluation of the material. The Wi - Fi chip or the antenna could be faulty.

  • Firefox becomes very slow with the all new Yahoo Mail

    Problems with the all-new Yahoo! Mail version: everything worked very well, but since the two latest updates of Firefox I started to notice that Yahoo was consuming a lot of CPU (it varies from 35% to 40% and is on the top list of programs CPU consumption) and the browsing experience is not so pleasant - slow. If I quit Firefox and reopen it, becomes faster, but after about 30 min slow / high CPU consumption again. Then I had to go back to the classic version of Yahoo Mail and everything works fine and consumed less CPU. Did I live it? Is it a question of Yahoo Mail? Is there a solution? (Macbook Pro early 2011 / Mac OS X 10.7.4 / Firefox 12.0) Thank you!

    Try to start Firefox in safe mode. This mode disables all extensions, customizations, hardware acceleration, etc., temporarily for the diagnosis and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then it is probably a problem with the add-on. Restart Firefox in normal mode, and then type "subject: addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions, restart Firefox between each one, until you find the troublemaker.

  • The display is very slow on the Satellite 1800 412

    I installed Windows XP Professional (do not use the Toshiba installation disc) and since then, the display is very slow refreshing when scrolling. It takes about 30 seconds to scroll one page down in Word for example. I tried to install the latest display driver but the installation block. Installing the driver in safe mode works but the computer hangs at startup and I needed to uninstall the driver. The laptop now seems to use a standard VGA driver of XP.

    Hello

    If you install the operating system from the original Microsoft CD you need drivers Toshiba. These drivers must be installed in the correct order. Is very important to install the driver from chipset to the first common modules and if they are available. Please also check what graphics card you have and install a good driver.

  • Scrolling Web page very slow on the second monitor

    I have two monitors. When I move the window of firefox for the second monitor - scrolling of web pages is very slow. Sometimes he computer freeze (I can't move the mouse cursor).
    I checked the other applications such as MS Word, Chrome.
    This problem is only firefox problem.

    This problem apears when the part of the firefox window shows on the second monitor (or even 50 pixels)

    Hey, I had the same problem and I solved it:
    1. - in the Firefox menu, display the Tools/Options.
    2. - unselect the checkbox "use hardware acceleration when available.
    This should work better now. Apparently the hardware acceleration makes the problems only when the windows of Firefox appears in a non-primary screen (don't know why). I suppose you know, but if you want to change your primary monitor you can do it from settings (right click on the desktop, then properties).
    Good luck!

  • Re: Camileo S10 - very slow when the SD card is in.

    My Camileo S10 was working fine for months with my 8 GB ScanDisk Ultra II memory card.
    Now, when I start the camera, it is very slow to start and operate (a few second delay for each operations).

    When I remove the card SD and trun on the camera, it works fine.

    Is this a known issue?
    An idea for me?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a problem with the SD card inserted.
    I think you should try to format the card CD and it should check again.
    If this will not help and you won't see a performance improvement you should replace the SD card and should try another.
