  • With 32-bit and a clean install also takes a long time to start and a very long time to stop.

    I use 32-bit and a clean install also, it takes a very long time to start (and sometimes it will not) and a verlong tike to close

    Hello Duane,

    For more clarity and response, I divided it in its own thread.

    After your post, it seems that Vista 32 bit takes a long time to start and a very long time to stop.

    What are the specifications of material of this machine?

    We might want to try a clean boot and see how that affects the issue.

    More details about this is located at the following link:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Let us know if this helps solve this problem.

  • Using the drive almost always at 100% at the start and sometimes at other times

    Recently, my laptop seemed particularly overwrought, even when executing threads. Whenever I start it (and also sometimes at random so that I use for light work), it is much slower than it has been in the past, and when I check the tast Manager, it says that the disc is in 90 to 100% almost every time. So I watch programs using the floppy and almost all of them use it with a rate of 0 MB/s, and all other use at a fairly slow pace. I know it's normal for notebook computers to slow down over time (mine is a little over a year old), but I wonder if it is an expected behavior. I find it odd that the drive is the treatment so furiously, but it seems to me that no program is really use it. I enclose below, pictures of my complete task manager a few minutes after starting.

    My processor is an Intel i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz and I have 12 GB of RAM.

    @MirandaSnow ,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  What you have going here is not a hardware problem.  It is a common problem with windows 8.1 and an update.

  • Need help with keyframes for start and stop an effect

    I use a mask and blurred for a few seconds. I understand that I must use keyframes to indicate when to start and stop this effect in the video, so that the same area is not trimmed for video full.

    The problem is, I can't find help by correctly setting the keyframes. When I opened the menu keyframes in the effect, it seems that I must together for both the mask took and the blur effect. I did... to start and stop at specific times, but the rest indeed throughout the video, so of course miss me something by using keyframes. The manual to create effects is not useful. I need assistance with keyframes as what I'm doing is clearly not working. Help!

    If the mask does not move that you don't have to set the keyframe. For the blur, click the stopwatch next to 'bluriness' add keyframes as below, the Reds don't blur and blue those maximum blur this fade effect.

  • Very slow start and run for Dell Inspiron 6400 XP times

    "I have a problem with an Inspiron 6400 brought to ' horribly slow start and run time.  XP Pro 32 bit SP3 patched up to date.  Cleaned up a lot of "undesirable", as the partially uninstalled programs, cleaned the files temporary etc. with CCleaner, cleaned and optimized the registry afer all the cleaning has been done, defragmented, tried to start without any of the boot files, disabled all unnecessary services and uninstalled virus checking software, (but ran several anti-virus controls) etc. - no help.   Safe Start Mode is faster, but... not at all normal - 1 1/2 minutes of screen to logon instead of close to 3 minutes.  A lot of memory (2 GB), which rises to 600 to 700 MB runnng all the stuff I've tried.  Hard drive is 1/3 used out of 120 GB with a 2 GB swap file.

    One thing I'm still scratching my head over - beyond the horribly slow boot - is very slow access to files even though everything seems to work normally, but as molasses in January.  Looking at the performance of the Task Manager tab when I run a copy of a file (whether via a cmd window or with Windows Explorer), I see a near max processor would be and the other with a small business.  Even if the customer says he had been getting worse for some time, after checking and cleaning of all things 'normal', my next thought was perhaps a bad disk or disk controller driver, but chkdsk ran very well (although it took hours) even if I ' d I have already updated all drivers (and even the DVD firmware and BIOS) on the Dell web site.  Oh, and I ran Dell Diagnostics (from bootable CD) updates all with no errors found.  And access to the slow file even with symptoms had max-processor occur with a copy of the file on a USB key that seems to eliminiate the hard disk, the disk controller and the pilot.

    The other interesting part of the display for a file copy task manager is that the processes tab simply shows System Idle 97 to 99%, with a percentage of casual for other processes as Explorer while I see 1 max out procesor on the performance tab.  That the same copy on your desktop shows 3-4% of the CPU usage and who is with active antivirus software.  I'm almost ready to fall toward a Windows reinstall, but would like to find the real reason behind this problem of puzzle...

    It of almost as if he's using PIO instead of DMA disk access, but... don't know how/where to test this.

    Look at:
    and

    Solved!   Thanks for the links, especially to each other.  An old but still a goodie!

    For those who have enquring spirits (and anyone else who stumbles across this thread), the primary IDE controller has been set to PIO and locked it.  Who would have thought that Windows slowly reduced the transfer speed, whenever he saw 6 errors on an IDE device until it has been reduced to PIO and then he locked it?  But the procedures described in the link of winhlp.com showed how to solve the problem.

    There are actually several problems that led to the final symptoms.  According to KB817472, the Atapi.sys has been improved in XP SP2 only degrade the speed of transfer on 6 consecutive errors instead of 6 cumulative errors.  And even though everything I have (Microsoft update) was seen and showed that this area was to SP3, I found that the driver for the controller layer IDE was the SP2 version.  Someone ran sfc previously perhaps?

    Oh, and I know now that the Task Manager process tab does not time processor kernal, but the performance tab.  Good to know...

    Thanks again to all who have responded.  Starting at the time of connection-question now is 40 seconds.   You'll love Untra DMA mode 5.   There is still a lingering question in my mind, since I've had the same symptoms of slow copy of a file on a flash drive.  Perhaps a link in some way to the way that Windows treats a flashdrive as a "drive"...

  • Filestore72 redirect virus on iPhone and iPad?

    Hello

    In the last day I got redirected to FileStore72.info and a.1nimo.com when a click from google to a known site of automotive discussion forum.  He can't seem to others sites and if we stop then starts them running again, he gets to the right place.

    He arrived as well on wifi at home, as well as on ATT LTE service.

    Any suggestions?

    Try to remove the Google Chrome app and put it back, if it's the browser you were using.

    If Safari, try to reset the it. Close Safari completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the preview pane of Safari until it disappears from the display. Then go to settings > Safari > clear the history and data from the Web site. Then perform a forced reboot.

    You also need anti-spyware software (even if you run a program such as)

    AntiMalware
    2 Microsoft isn't selling McAfee with new computers. Microsoft

  • iOS 10 times to start and stop the music messed up

    I'm running a SE 64 GB iPhone with iOS 10. Many songs from my iTunes library has some moments of power, but after update, they are all mixed. Songs don't start or stop when they're supposed to, or they're going to start and stop at a random time, which is annoying. The same problem was in the beta, causing me to backup on iOS 9. I assumed that this bug would be fixed in the final version. All the solutions in addition to remove and re - download my library?

    Hello Carnage1215,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I understand your music has had some problems and I want to help him. By the sounds of things that your songs start may be delayed or in the middle of the piece, is that correct?

    Before you make too much trouble shooting, it's a good idea to make a backup of your iPhone If you don't have it already. If you do not know how to save your phone from this article will guide you in the process: the backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Once you have made a backup, I would recommend to reset all the settings on your iPhone. This will ensure that all old data of a version of iOS parameter are removed and reset default. This removes all data and applications, photos or contacts, but it removes all of your preferences for the Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, do not disturb, Notifications, general, sounds, contact ID, brightness & paper painted and privacy, then you may need to define these things upwards after this reset.

    Do this please go to settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

    If you always use the same behavior after you restart your phone, please inform the community. We are all here to help.
    Best regards.

  • Firefox does not account settings to open the home page to start and open rather the previous tabs

    Opening of Firefox, the browser displays my previous session, despite my selection 'display the homepage' or 'show white screen' on the opening.

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder (a detailed list of the system shows that you have) which defines the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once to true.

    (I noticed that the mozillaZine knowledge base is down at the time of this posting)

    The user.js file will be present if you or a other software created this file and normally will not present.
    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them .html and .ini and .js and .txt, and you can see only a file name without file extension.
    You can check the file extension (type) in the file properties in Windows Explorer via the context menu.

  • Impossible to change my new tab page - it appears as "Quick start" and I can't change it BLAH about: config page

    When I enter on: config page and try to change the new settings of the about tab: empty it changes them, but when I opened a new tab it opens this "quick start" and it shows windows with a few sites I visit, but there is no option in which I choose if this is or a blank page. I had this option, I have not changed.

    New tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement)
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tab-override/

    With Firefox 41 (and later versions), it is no longer possible to customize the
    page displayed in a new tab by the evolution of the browser.newtab.url preference
    in the about.config. Due to the fact that the hijackers abused the
    preference in the past, Mozilla has decided to remove (see bug 1118285).
    Fortunately, by removing it, Mozilla has also introduced a new API to bring

    How to open 2 sites on start and 1 Web site when you click the home button?

    You can change your shortcut on the desktop Firefox with two starting URLS. To try:

    • Shortcut on the desktop: right-click on the icon, choose Properties
    • Icon taskbar pinned: clic click right on the icon, right click in Mozilla Firefox, click on properties

    Windows normally selects the shortcut tab. If this is not the case, go ahead and click on the shortcut tab.

    You will see the target highlighted. On 64-bit Windows, which is usually either not less the following:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    

    For the specific shortcut launch pages, you can add them to the end, for example:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -url "http://www.dilbert.com/" -url "http://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine"

    After OK'ing the Properties dialog box, you can test everything right now to confirm that Firefox is now launching a window with tabs. Either:

    • right click on taskbar icon pinned, click Mozilla Firefox

  • Firefox does not start and a cautionary note saying (ddl c:\program files\mozilla firefox \xul.ddl) is a problem, what can I do, thanks

    Thanks Bob

    Hello
    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you delete your Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. This process does not delete your Firefox profile (such as bookmarks and passwords) data, since this information is stored in a different location.

    To do a clean reinstall of Firefox, follow these steps: Note: you can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

    Please report to say if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • My Mac Mini is extremely slow and any video will start but soon stops and intermittently starts and stop immediately. What is the reason?

    My Mac Mini (end 2012) 2.5 ghz memory 8 GB Yosemite 10.10.5 is extremely slow. I read a few articles on communities, but unable to solve the problem. I plan to upgrade memory soon. In addition, a video game doesn't quite work. It starts and stops in 5 seconds and restarts it for a few seconds and stops completely. An advisor to fix the problem will be appreciated.

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is particularly bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select
