• Probable cause of the system slows down suddenly?

  Hello;
   
  Your advice and help would be greatly appreciated.
   
  (1) the laptop became irritating suddenly slow!
  Slow start of Windows, open files running of MS anti-virus, slow slow slow internet access, the desktop icons disappear and reappear at the beginning of every task, etc. a moment.
   
  (2) I have run a scan complete, just in case there's a virus.  It took ~ 2 hrs to scan ~ 1 240 000 elements.
  Also, I ran Disk Defragmenter in case space is the problem.
   
  (3) the unit is:
  ... Toshiba Satellite P30 laptop, processor 3.06 GHz, Pentium 4, x 86 processor
  ... Win XP Home SP3
  ... Hard drive 100 GB, 80% available
  ... 1.84 GHz, 512 MB RAM
  .. peripheral .no (not even a printer) attached to the unit.
  (Am I missing some relevant info?)
   
  (4) I also watched the start menu.  Nothing has changed, always the same 6 programs on the start menu.
   
  Any suggestion (s)?
   
  Thank you.
  Monir

  Thank you Jose andRobear to your quick and thoughtful answers.

   

  ( 1) Please allow me little time to consider the proposal detailed Jose and Robear advice that MS is well aware of the problem and (hopefully) will come (soon) with an update to resolve the problem.

   

  ( 2) in the meantime, I wonder if anyone of you has experience with the use of the freeware "CCleaner v2.34.1200:

  http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

  The developer claims that she cleans the system and optimizes the performance of the PC and it's free.

  It's absolutely fantastic!

  I downloaded and installed the package, but have not yet run it!

   

  ( 3) the "CCleaner" seems well designed and comprehensive.

  It has many options for:

  .. .cleaning Windows & Applications

  .. .cleaning registry & Startup

  ... Deleting temporary Internet files & programs

  ... Bleach unused hard drive

  ... Removing obsolete software

  ... etc.

   

  ( 4) the difficulty (for me) is that you cannot select the option buttons at random without knowing or at least have an idea about the consequences.

  The problem could get worse!

   

  ( 5) for example, I've checked the box to deleteCookies or to theIndex.dat files (which I don't know what they are for, in the first place!).

  It will probably improve the performance of the system (speed), but could also block me of some web sites and would need re-subscribe, passwords, etc.

  Deleting Index.dat files can simply affecting the functionality of certain applications.

  I don't think that trial-and-error approach would work here.

   

  Will study more carefully "CCleaner".

   

  Any comments?

   

  Kind regards.

  Monir

  monirg,

  CCLEANER: This is my configuration:

  Uncheck the box:

  In INTERNET EXPLORER:

  Last download location

  History of AutoComplete form

  In WINDOWS EXPLORER:

  Recent documents

  In the SYSTEM:

  Clipboard

  Memory dumps

  Windows log files

  Shortcuts on the Start Menu

  Desktop shortcuts

  In the commercial category, uncheck the WindowsDefender. With this checked remove history when the last scan was performed.

  Cleaning DO NOT USE ANY Advanced options. DO NOT TOUCH THE REGISTRY OR TOOLS. At least not for now.

  Make sure that you go to Options > Advanced Options anduncheck the box ' only delete the files in of Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours "before running a scan.

  Suggests to save changes until you get to know and feel comfortable.

  Personally, CCleaner is the only program that I apply to any computer that I repair. I have never had any undesirable results to use this program. It is on the shy side of what it aims to achieve and is not very aggressive in its changes. It allows you also to save changes and reapply them if you have any of the disastrous consequences by allowing the changes.

  That being said - I can't say that the way I never realized no improvement after cleaning the registry!

  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:

  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.

• USB keys deleting leads to the failure of the system of

  Dear representative of Microsoft,

  I am facing a problem with my USB keys deleting. When I remove my USB port on my desktop (Windows 7), I have a reboot of the system. I think it is a problem of software security and I hope you can tell me the name of the process or service that I must remove my machine in order to recover my machine in order. I feel this way since then plug in the USB device doesn't cause errors so I discount a few electrical problems.

  Kind regards

• The CPU usage reaches 100% and the system locks requiring a hard restart on Windows Vista

  All of sudden the CPU usage reaches 100%, which makes the system dead slow and finally the system stops responding. I have to do a hard reboot to continue using the system.

  I tried to open the Task Manager to see if there are programs or services running that can consume resources and found nothing. The remains of number of CPU use, the graph to use but less than 10 years is hovering at 100%.

  I did not change my system.

  The problem appears on the two accounts that I installed on my operating system.

  I removed all the unwanted programs since the system was started.

  I have McAfee Antivirus installed for more than a year now, and the latest antivirus patches have been installed.

  Help, please.

  Thank you in advance!

  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.

• Date and time system continues to change each time the system starts.

  I noticed that the time and date of my home PC gets changed every time the system is booted. The default date is set for Jan. 2008, when in fact it should be July 2014.

  Also, my PC became slow death. I use Windows 7 on 1 GB of RAM, 250 GB PC. I used last my home PC 2 years back, but there has always been someone to use it.

  It shows the OS disk to 7 GB of free, when in fact I never installed or anything unnecessary stored on the disk of BONE; Whatever unnecessary programs were there, I uninstalled them recently, keeping just a few essential ones. After uninstalling, it shows to 7 GB of free, when in fact it should be more than that.

  I use Avast anti-virus, which I think is unnecessary, that its not to protect my PC and as other programs, too, is quite dead slow.

  The system is infected by viruses? Manually, I checked the system for viruses and clean the system of all unnecessary and, program files, but I'm still not sure whether it is a virus or a PC problem.

  I am a COMPUTER analyst, and's just done it 2 days that I use my PC at home. I could format my PC, or where applicable be buy Windows 8 with a new processor.

  Please advise.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Ralph Davidson.

  Hello

  You really need a minimum of at least 2GBs of RAM to run Windows 7 well enough.

  As you have only 1 GB of RAM, which seems to be one of the reasons why it is slow.

  Increase the physical RAM or try ReadyBoost:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/using-Windows-ReadyBoost-to-increase-performance/

  Looks like you have some problems.

  Wrong Date/time

  If after you set the Date and time, and then stop and restart your machine and the time returns to the year 2008, and she did this whenever you reset, then restart the PC you have a CMOS battery has failed in the motherboard.

  They cost about $5 and are easy to replace.

• Blocking of the system during the seizure.

  I have recently reinstalled windows and it worked find for a few days. Then it automatically loaded 170 updates. Since then every time I type in any program quite frequently the disapperars slider and the system hangs. I have to click the mouse to cursor to reappear and be able to type.  the reason why I have re installed windows was because of this error and because programs are not open when the computer woke up from his sleep.

  I have updated the drives for my chipset, but it made no difference. I use a desktop computer with windows 7 installed.
