Poor performance of the laptop XP

My friend has an old laptop. She uses it to much except e-mail, navigation of base and Netflix. Even if its an old computer, it seems very slow for me. Here are the specs: Dell INSPIRON1100 Celeron CPU 2.20 GHz. 224 MB of RAM MS Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3. A C. NTFS drive. Total area is 27.7 Gb. = 14.8 GB free space. Other statistics: since the Manager task performance (after a start cold with no loaded application) monitor commit Charge Total 150360 limited 556276 pic 284296 network Local area connectivity 100 Mbps (Comcast in connection with cable to the router Comcast) to start cold (completely died), it takes apx. 2 minutes to start until I hear the Windows chime. Once the base system begins, launching applications is very slow. For example, right after you start with nothing else loading it takes apx. 22 seconds to start Firefox, then check out the homepage. This may be because of the speed of the Internet (which is good see above) because the home page is a very small local file on your hard drive. Its a file with no graphics at all, only four links (e-mail, google, page news and Netflix). After Firefox starts when I click Netflix it takes apx. 20 seconds for the home screen to come and be usable. (These times are however from a freshly toed machine) When I click on a movie it takes apx. 30 seconds just for me getting the red Netflix screen which indicates the film is start and apx. 1 minute for the movie to start. It's actually not too bad, but once the computer has been used for a while, it may take much longer. Its also very little reliable. It crashes a LOT and she in turn off the computer at least once every night or she will end up hanging. Sometimes, it crashes even when during the day and must be restarted. Even if we do not get the blue screen of death, we get just the hourglass and his does not. BTW, it uses Firefox, because when I loaded a few patches from Microsoft a year ago Internet Explorer has stopped working. It seemed as if some IE plugin hung looking for some data. I remember the details because it was some time ago and I just loaded Firefox which worked immediately. Its virus protection is out of date, however she sails almost never on the Internet. On the other hand it is not very computer savvy so its possible there is some virus. I've seen the ads for registry cleaners, but they sound like they might be potentially more trouble then help. I'm ready to install a virus protection, what would be the best recommendation for someone who has no eCommerce, ne * and very limited surfing? This could be a virus problem? Or maybe it's that the computer has low RAM and my expectations are unrealistic, because I work on most modern machines with more powerful processors and a lot more than RAM? One last thing, the fan seems to be almost constantly.

Of course, a lack of ram is definitely a problem. I would like to scan the computer for malware with Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware. Remove any detected object. Defragment and see if there are improvements.

Also, great job to give information on the computer. The problems are much easier to solve with sufficient information.

  • With regard to the performance of the laptop.

    Firstly all I had upgrade to 8.1, then for a few days my laptop worked fine, then little by little the performance of my laptop down. Then, after searching the solution I reset my laptop and unfortunately, I lose my all important data from my laptop.

    And then I go to 8.1, and then the trouble started to occurring as not able to install applications on windows store, laptop computer stop responding, break execution failed for several applications, etc..

    Yet once I update my laptop and here again I lose 8.1 update.

    In the upgrade to 8.1 for 2 times, I lost my all about 3 k to 4 k rupees.

    After upgrade to 8.1 for the second time I had a problem of 'pending' when installing apps from the store Windows, so I had been looking for the solution on the internet and at that time I had run cmd "net stop wuauserv" and the I tried to delete the folder "c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" but not able to remove. And then some how I run "start wuauserv net" after the problem is existing.

    Please guide I had to keep automatic updates on so that I can get all the modern updates required.

    And you will understand how much it requires internet and money too.

    The model number of the Sony Vaio laptop is "IN5 SVF15212SNW".

    I wasn't able to install even a single form of app windows store although it is small or large one.

    The "Server execution failed" occurs during google chrome and possibly other applications.

    Guide please, whether I'd get no concessions for the upgrade to 8.1 again?

    I'll be back for the upgrade to windows 8.1 for the third time?

    How to improve the performance of my laptop?

    One thing I would like to add, is that earlier the time zone has been in 'GMT' now it's 'UTC' and when google something earlier, the result was predicted very quickly by google now, it's also taking the time. I feel that I use the American system rather than the Indians. Please guide for questions at the earliest.

  • Poor performance of the processor of the virtual machine

    Hello

    We have an esxi Server 5. Theres only one virtual machine running. It is A SBS 2008. The server is slow, it seems to depend on the CPU (XEON 5502 2 cores with hyperthreading) use. The windows Task Manager shows the use of 60 to 75% most of the time and often 100%.

    But the performance vmware (vsphere) table shows only 20% up to 60%, although the vitrual machine CPU resource reservation is high and unlimited. Is it possible, to give the virutal machine more CPU power?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    It seems that your processor has no hyperthreading.  Specifications Intel http://ark.intel.com/products/37092/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5502-4M-Cache-1_86-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI

    With all four cores assigned to a single virtual machine probably causes CPU performance issues.  Have you checked the CPU Read values?  If you see more 1000msec by vCPU, you can expect performance degradation.

    Chaning the VM from four to one or two vCPUs shouldn't be a problem, unless you have software running which consumes a lot of time processor.  I ran SBS2011 on a single vCPU with no problems.

  • Poor performance during the iteration/update rows of a tree table

    Hello

    We have a tree table based on a VO and EO (with transitional attributes). One of the attributes is an indicator.
    The original Version is filled with a complex query with several thousand lines.

    Now, when the user clicks on a node, all children are updated (their flag is set to true) recursively.

    It's really really slow. It may take several minutes, while a similar update via PL/SQL on a real table would take a few seconds.

    Is it possible to improve the performance? We have already applied all the tunings on EO as VO mentioned in the Oracle Documentation, but they had almost no effect:
    -keep the viewlink iterators set line
    -indicators of query
    -Use the batch update

    The algorithm we use is the following:
        private void checkTreeNodes(JUCtrlHierNodeBinding node, Boolean check) {
            if (node == null) {
                return;
            }
    
           TreeVORowImpl nodeRow = (TreeVORowImpl)node.getRow();
            if (nodeRow != null) {
                    nodeRow.setFlag(check);
            }
    
            List<JUCtrlHierNodeBinding> children = null;
            if (!nodeRow.getLevel().equals("4"))  // no more than 4 levels
                children = node.getChildren();
    
            if (children != null) {
                for (JUCtrlHierNodeBinding _node : children) {
                    checkTreeNodes(_node, check);
                }
            }
        }

    Hello

    try to move the logic of the definition of the transitional indicator at the service of the company (method exposed on the client interface) and then refresh the tree instead of a record thousand on the client component analysis.

  • Poor performance of the virtual computer. Questions RDY %

    I installed an environment to ESXi 4.1, and less than a week that I started getting complaints that some virtual machines were slow. Using ESXTOP moment RDY % is usually great, as in simple figures. Then there are times where it spikes up to 80% or hangs around 50% for about 30 seconds.  I know not all the virtual machines have VMTools updated may cause CPU scheduling questions?

    Never, I followed this environment in the past, so I don't know if they had a CPU contention before this upgrade or not, I'm going strictly by the comments of users.

    No, the VMware tools backdated wouldn't interfere.  In fact, you don't have even the VMware Tools installed to a virtual machine running normally.  Will pass you right next to the advanced features and performance gains unrelated to the CPU.  The CPU is the processor there is no driver for this specific to VMware.  Values of loans are quite specific - the virtual machine has something to see CPU wise and his waiting for access to the CPU.

    The physical number of nuclei in the home and what is it (Intel 5500 or 7300 etc.)?  How many virtual machines?  How many virtual processors assigned to hospitality?   How many VMS are multi-CPU?  What is most vCPU per VM on the host?

  • Poor performance of the IR data in 4.1 filter

    I have a report work off a table big enough. The problem is that when users to filter data based on a date range, the performance is unacceptable.

    Enters it the column data is set in this predicate:
    ("MY_DT" between to_timestamp(:APXWS_EXPR_1,'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') and to_timestamp (: APXWS_EXPR2_1, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS'))

    This causes the query to not use the index that has this column in it. Column is a date, and therefore the column definition in the view on this report works.

    If I am controlled, so the query returns in 15 seconds with the predicate above and if I change it to this:
    ("MY_DT" between to_date(:APXWS_EXPR_1,'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') and to_date (: APXWS_EXPR2_1, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS'))

    He returned then to 0.04 seconds.

    Why APEX uses the timestamps for date comparisons? Can I control it so that it uses a to_date instead? Is this a known bug? Should I solve this problem with an FBI?

    Mathias

    Hi Mathias,.

    I submitted the bug 13496513 on this subject. If the column is not dependent on the time zone, to_date should be used. We will try to solve this problem quickly.

  • Poor performance since the update of security online

    No problem with web browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome) at home (Comcast) and work (Integra) until I downloaded the recent Safari 9.0.3 and security of the OS update.  Now, with all browsers, while a few sites (Facebook, Flikr, Yahoo, search the Web) load more quickly, most of the others (links Apple in searches) loading VERY slow (Slower than Dial-Up) or not at all.  I ran the diagnostic - all connections are good.  E-mail works well.  I restored the computer using Time Machine.  Internet connections are fine with other computers on the same router.

  • Poor performance with the slate of HP 7 2800

    Do or can techs HP make remote access with your 7 2800 HP Slate Tablet?

    I do not use too much according to that I first bought and don't think to ask for a refund. Too late. However, perhaps a remote connection would allow the technicians HP Tablet check my tablet.

    For example, I have a hot point of moble. Lit. Had problems of connection and sent to the parameters to verify that the hotspot was listed and ÖUT RANGE"? Got to be kidding me. Also, it was a struggle to ling to the network I want to from time to time.

    I have a LG flexible Bluetooth earpiece/headset still trying to play the music becomes a nightmare. Songs often 'jump' during playback?

    Perhaps a remote control connection could solve some problems if possible.

  • PUSH API - openPushListener high utilization of the processor and the poor performance of the app.

    Hello

    I have a request that I tested on a real phone and I noticed that when I call the method openPushListener on the push API that the CPU of the phone shoots up to 80-100% and stays there. When I do that on the Simulator there little CPU usage at all. I made sure this isn't the rest of my application by creating an application to Subscriber very simple push that, once compiled and put on a tourch or "BOLD" takes the CPU at 100%. When I do not call this method our application runs quickly, but when I listen to the messages of push splash screens taking much time to load before have been instant and it must be down to the CPU of the stuff to push.

    Here's my basic application, when running I went to device management application options and found it my app and could see the CPU usage. before you click the link in the application below cpu is at<1% and="" after="" it's="" at="" 80-100%="" while="" the="" application="" is="" open.="" this="" is="" affecting="" both="" os5="" and="">

    What continues? If this is the case, we cannot use it and months of development is endangered...

    Ok... The thrust of new API that is to come (in the next two weeks) do not have this problem.  We were able to get to the root of the problem.

    This CPU use is caused by the opening of several ports push.  We the have not seen happen when using only one port to push.  Although we have seen occur when more than one application uses the API to push.

    The new API is standard capabilites Push which does not allow you to open several ports by request of data push.  Several applications can use this API without any degradation.

    In short... If you only use a port with the API to push, you minimize your chances of a question.

  • Poor performance of the public Web sites IE

    Hi community

    We are building a new Infrastructure of view and we are faced with one last question.

    first to the top of our facility

    Domain controller is a Windows 2008

    ISA-6 & Squid proxy 3

    VM view 5.1.1

    Windows-7 clones related with persistent disk pool

    2 vcpu 2 GB

    IE - 8 version sub is 8.0.7600.16385

    The issue is that IE - 8 is at a standstill when browsing public sites. Are Web pages displayed thereafter, but sometimes take 3-4 minutes.

    However, Chrome works very well at the same time, same sites work like a charm.

    I know you may think then why not to use chrome. (we have a few sites that are dependent on IE)

    Measures taken so far

    Build the fresh image (always the same question)

    No bottleneck of resources

    tried NTLM/LM of different security authentication methods.

    I've tried different versions of java

    I tried different flash drive

    Proxy bypassed in client Vm

    update IE 8 to IE - 9

    Always the same offset.

    I tried IE protected mode and various combinations of security.

    Chrome, firefox works quite well.

    At squid using IE if I have the tail newspapers then few applications is rejected and then finally the page appears.

    I also tried ISA6 same story.

    Considering that chrome works brilliantly.

    Can someone please suggest something or if any one facing the same question.

    Thank you

    I don't think that THE Thinapping is the answer here.  It is not strictly 'legal' for a start, and a lot of people use IE without this problem.

    If it works fine with your proxy disabled then its clearly your proxy configuration.
