• Satellite Pro M10 suddenly ran very slow and freezes

  Two weeks ago, that my SP M10 is suddenly very slow and freeze. After a reset, it began to check the HARD drive, which lasted about 8 hours, and several repair lost clusters to files. But the student pilot did not run faster. I reformatted the HDD to FAT32 (NTFS has not worked) and reinstalled Windows XP. First, it seemed to work very well, but a few hours later, it freezes again.

  After 10-20 min, I got access. This has not changed so far. CHKDSK another also lasted several hours and again showed some lost clusters. I think that my HARD drive is damaged, but how can I see if there a lot of bad sectors? Can I fix it? Can I possibly replace my 40 GB HARD drive with a larger HARD drive capacity?

  Are there restrictions or can I use any brand?

  Hello

  I had the same problem with my Satellite 1900. The result was the HARD drive damaged (bad sectors). I tried to fix it with different tools, but without success. The best solution is to swap the HARD drive.

• Satellite C660 - very slow and freezes

  Just bought this laptop in Argos a week ago. I know that other people have had similar problems. Basically things together is really slow no matter what you do, escecially when you go on the internet. Takes forever for nothing to take, then you end up with several windows open and all crashes.

  On the suggestion of some people on this forum, I have removed the free McAfee antivirus and installed my own Norton one instead.

  I installed the update to the BIOS when prompted to by the Toshiba updates.

  Another problem is that there is the windows updates about 36 the machine try to download, but it keeps failing to install them and try again whenever you turn it on.

  All advice appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  > Basically the whole things runs very slowly everything you do
  It comes with the pre-installed Windows version or you have installed your own version? What additional software programs you have installed and that you have connected external devices?

  > Another problem is that there is the windows updates about 36 the machine tries to download but it keeps failing to install them and try again whenever you turn it on.
  I recommend you to install Service Pack 1 before you start with simple updates of Windows. You can download Service Pack 1 all on the official Microsoft Website. After installation try to download Windows updates again.

• Mac running very slow and stall

  Hello

  Grateul for any help you can give.  I searched the forums for advice and have tried several solutions but without success so far.

  I have a macbook pro, which is 3 1/2 years.  Used primarily for surfing the internet and word processing.  For the past 3 weeks, that it worked if slow, it is almost useless to try to use it at all.  All applications take a long time to load and even typing has a delayed response.  Safari crashes frequently.  As mentioned above, I searched the forums and followed the advice given for example using disk utility to repair disk and permissions of the drive (have been several attempts to realize that he has appeared to expire several times, but I came to the conclusion, with no improvement) / reboot in recovery mode / stop and hold shift/alt/cmd/delete etc..  Nothing I found so far has helped it's why I started a new thread asking for advice (I understand very well I'm not the first person to ask why my mac is slow!).

  Information that could help find a solution, a year or two ago I had to install sophos and tuneupmymac to access the e-mails from work.  I thought that the problem may be connected to either one of them so I uninstalled sophos, but I failed to uninstall tuneupmymac because advice online on the website of tuneupmymac do not appear to work (the option Uninstall does not appear where it is shown in the guide, and I can't find anywhere else), nor the advice I've seen elsewhere (when I type in the path to file to Library/preferences in ' ") go to the folder"it says not 'found').  The only other explanation I could think was that I could have picked up a virus from a memory stick friend used to transfer pictures about 4 weeks ago. The problems started shortly after, so it would make sense in terms of timing. Otherwise, I tried to complete the upgrade to El Capitan, as I thought that might help, but it can't seem to finish right now (probably because of issues that make my mac to run slowly).

  Am at a bit of a loss if it's a last cry for help before considering in the store!  All opinions are appreciated.  If I missed the obvious information, apologies - I'm a total novice.  Provide any additional information that might help identify the problem.

  Thank you very much

• Brand new HP 2000 running very slow and delay horribly

  I just bought a brand new HP 2000-2b19wm a little more than a week, and first on the first commissioning initial he did very well apart from the fact that windows 8 and is very difficult to learn and navigate. I've noticed since the first boot of the computer is awfully slow. Takes forever to load firefox after clicking on it, horribly slow to load any page.

  I'm in the process right now to remove Norton of it and all the other programs that I feel as tho have no need to be there to see if it helps with the performance of the machine.

  I live whomevers help on some options or steps I can do to avoid or correct what's wrong with this brand new machine! I read online that a system restore would not be a bad idea as well.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  If the computer is infected with the virus, making the system restore would remove all infected files. Pick up the virus deleted, you need to reinstall the operating system using the system recovery.

• 2012 MacBook Pro VERY slow after restoring from time machine

  Recently, I upgraded my hard drive on a seagate drive. I went from 500 GB to 1 TB. The installation went well. Later, I followed the steps to set up the hard drive:

  1. start the computer by using the R command

  2. open disk utility

  3. formatting the new hard disk by the computer specifications

  4 closed disk utility

  Then I restored from a time machine to the top. It took about 3 hours I had about 350 GB of data to restore. Since that time, my computer is moving very slowly! For example, the start-up takes at least 15 minutes for loading applications. Between the tabs in Chrome takes about 45 seconds to a minute. Loading a new web page takes about 3 minutes or more. Open an application like Evernote can take 5-8 minutes. Same shutdown takes about 10 minutes.

  In a previous forum, someone suggested to take a look at errors in the console. I have no idea what it means. Can someone help me figure out what this topic?

  Here is example of them below:

• After recovering the Satellite L300 is slower and freezes

  Hello

  I just restored my 1DN back to factory settings L300 - but now I find that my computer is very slow and freezes for 1 second about every seconds frew. Certainly, it does not perform as it did before you restore the factory settings. For example videos etc. freeze every few seconds and do not play smoothly as they did.

  No idea why this is and if she has nothing to do with the restoration of factory settings? And how can I solve this problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  After the laptop recovery procedure is certainly not up-to-date and I imagine that many Microsoft updates will be downloaded and installed. If you use the factory settings it is on automatic and several hours or maybe two updates will be downloaded and installed.

  While the installation of updates that I can imagine that the notebook is quite slow and you'll be noticed freezing or stopped video playback.

  Before you start using your laptop, install all updates and optimize the operating system preinstalled. Typical result of the new installation of the OS's slow start.
  Please check this thread. You can find a useful tip how make your computer faster.

• Some games run very slow on Windows 8, as...

  Some games run very slow on Windows 8 as (chicken Invasion "v1, v2, v3" in red alert 2, Age of Empire 2)
  but on Windows 7 on the same Machine perform perfectly, I tried to install DirectX,.
  and tried to install the latest Version of the Driver VGA for Windows8 and tried to change VGA (Nvidia, AMD, Intel)
  but the games (not all games just a few) still running slow...? !!!
  Help, please...

  Wrong, wrong, wrong.

  This is entirely based on compatibility to a level beyond what is offered in the standard "Windows compatibility" section.  In addition to this, everything you said had absolutely nothing to do with the question.  This has nothing to do with starting or whatever it is in the same direction.

  What is happening is that something is interfering with the normal functioning of the game because of changes in the kernel of the operating system because it has been updated / rewritten since the inception of Windows XP.

  @SOVIETTION
  The most likely solution for you has nothing to do with the videobuffer here is how fix you it:

  Find the Red Alert installation directory and find the file * md.ini.
  In revenge for Red Alert 2/Yuri, it will be 'RA2MD. INI"(feel free to make a backup of the file before proceeding)
  Open it with your favorite text editor (Notepad for most people)
  Scroll down until you find the section [Video]
  Just below you will add this line-
  VideoBackBuffer = no
  Save the file in the same place and load the game.

  Enjoy!

  The VideoBackBuffer = none works perfectly, but in my case I also had to set the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2.

  Bravo for you!
