PC running slowly

• I keep getting messages "Stop running this Script?" who advise they are originally my web browser run slowly. How do I rectify this?

  It is not a clear sign of the browser slows down. It does not seem to be limited to any Web site.

  Sometimes, this problem is caused by an add-on that begins interacting with the page after most loads content, so you don't notice the problem until you get the message. Can the extension Skype Click-to-Call cause this problem.

  In other cases, the problem may be caused by the content of the page.

  If you find any model of the script that runs slowly, say Firefox? Script names that start with chrome: / / or resource: / / address either parts of Firefox or an extension. Starting with http:// or https:// usually script names are part of the site you visit.

  For more information, you can try our technical support article: script is unresponsive warning - what it means and how to fix it.

  Another good cause script errors is unresponsive on Windows Vista and newer is the feature of mode of the Flash player plugin. This feature has the security benefits, but it seems to have serious compatibility problems on some systems. You can disable it using the page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, find 'Shockwave Flash' and click on the link for more. Then uncheck the box for "Enable Adobe Flash protected mode" and try it for a day to see if that helps you.

• 2012 MacBook Pro running slowly after installation of el capitan

  I saw this post made by many people many times - that their computer started running slowly after the installation of the el capitan. I tried to read every post I could on this topic, and I can't find the solutions.  I was told that it could be everything from upgrading ram and an SSD hard drive, to the delivery of programs to remove the adware.  In the end, I can't understand why it runs very slowly now, the only change has been the upgrade to el capitan, otherwise everything went much before.   If someone knows a way to understand the problem or to find a solution that would be amazing!

• Satellite Pro L300 - XP runs slowly

  Satellite Pro L300 PSLB9E - Windows XP
  Works slow intermittently, but shows inactive in the Task Manager. Disable anti virus etc, but always slowly works intermittently.

  Can anyone offer advice please?

  Hey mate,

  First I must say that it is really hard to say why your laptop is running slowly. There are several reasons for this problem, but it would be interesting to know if you have installed the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba or did you install XP yourself using a disc of Microsoft? In this case, you should try this again with the Toshiba recovery disc. It contains a picture of the factory settings and so, your laptop should work correctly.

  In addition, I would recommend to defragment the HARD disk, disable some services and startup programs that you don't need and you try a good antivirus like AntiVir. After that, clean you the registry with CCleaner.

  Good luck!

• Tecra A5: Publisher 2003 is running slowly and not all images will display

  I have a problem with the performance of publisher 2003 when the default printer is set to an aculaser Epson C900 since a laptop Toshiba Tecra A5.
  The editor runs slowly and has not all images. This works if the default printer is set to a different printer.
  This problem does not affect other mobile brand.

  Publihser maybe sort of speak to the printer driver and clash with another application or installed driver for the Toshiba.

  Hi Simon

  You will be very happy if someone can give you a precise answer. As far as I know, he has no problems known with Microsoft products.

  If you see the Toshiba download page you will find instructions for facilities document stating the software preinstalled on your device. It is really not known to me that some of them can cause this strange problem. I recommend contacting Microsoft support because they have more experience with own products.

  Sorry but I have no other comment on your topic.

  Good luck!

• Flight Simulator 3 and other games running slowly in Windows 7.

  Original title: Sims 3 (and other games works incorrectly) suddenly running slow.

  I'll try to make this as brief as possible while providing for.

  When I got to Windows 7, the sims 3 worked perfectly. all the graphics on the top and so on. I can't quite identify when exactly it started running slowly and I mean slow! The game, itself, does not take long to load - it never did and it's practically the only thing that has not changed. But when I go in the game (from simply create a SIM to play), that he is lagging badly. To say things to the point, the whole game is rather fluid animation as a slide show of photos.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled, but the problem persists. I've also updated my nVidia graphics card it is newer, but it did not much difference in any of the games. Sidenote: I installed the sims 2 and well there a little laggy every now and then (he's since widows xp; sure enough it's normal) it preforms perfectly. I just can't understand why the sims 3 has suddenly decided to run horribly.

  In other games, such as smaller little such as Turbo Subs, are also slow, but not to the point where I can't even play. In fact, if I play long enough gal disappears and it works normally. But I think that it may just be an incompatibility problem because part of the mine, Burger Shop 2, works very well, even better than when I got Vista. Looking for confirmation here.

  Is it possible to fix it as it used to be, or at the very least, simply reduce the amount of lag?

  You can try to download and install the latest DirectX9 updates CFS3 and still need to other games.

  Then try to defragment your hard drive. Personally, I like this utility.

  If the problem persists, then open the Task Manager and check if there are all the running processes that take a lot of CPU resources.

  I bet that the people running Windows 7 with IE9 do not have this problem. If you are running XP, you cannot run any data more recent than IE8.

  Another problem is that people who post on this problem (including yourself) don't bother giving us important information such as what version of IE they run or the specifications of the computer (including the speed of the processor and the amount of RAM).
  Internet Explorer isn't the best browser in the world. I suggest that you run Google Chrome and then see if these Facebook games works:

  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.

  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.
