Skype takes FOREVER to install

• Installation of some programs takes forever

  Hi gurus,

  Since I installed Windows 7 on my new desktop 2 months ago I have seen that some programs take forever to install. Some will be install in seconds and others will take up to an hour before it starts the installation package.
  I tried this search intensively and have found no solution online, so here I ask you guys. What could be my problem? And why it doesn't happen on all programs?
  I noticed things:
  • Size of the installed program does not affect the question of the installation. Large and small programs may have problems and large and small programs can install in seconds
  • Generalization of the computer does not affect installation. For example browsing the internet with multiple tabs open isn't a recurring issue

  My system is:
  3770 K I7
  16 GB ram DDR3
  HARD DRIVE 1-120 GB SSD
  2-1 TB OF DISK HARD 7200 RPM
  Thank you for your help.

  What antivirus utility you installed?

  You are installing from a disc or an executable file that you downloaded from the Internet?

  Try temporarily disabling your Antivirus and see what happens.

  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any breach of integrity

• Clean install of El Capitan takes forever

  My SSD on my Mac Book Pro got some corrupted files, and I had to replace it. I am trying to do a clean install of El Capitan and it takes forever. It was 10 hours so far, and the status bar is about 75%.

  I have a new SSD, the i5 CPU, the 8 GB of RAM and 1 Gbps Internet access speed. For those who take a long time for installation and operating system is simply ridiculous. I used to be an Apple fanboy...

  The download is a function of connection. Installation depends on your hardware. Your connection may be 1 Gbit/s, but read this while you wait...

  That said, it's a very long download from Apple.

• A clean install of Windows 7 x 64 takes forever to search for updates

  Don't know why, but the update takes forever to search on a clean install of windows. I made a lot of clean installations of Windows 7 before, but never had a problem with the receipt of the updates. But this time, it just doesn't go as far in receiving updates.

  I don't have any firewall or antivirus programs installed on this system. Just new installation of windows 7. Tried the pro versions and at the same time with the same result.

  Here's onedrive link for the log file

  Please run the Windows Update Troubleshooter:

  Please provide details of any problem it reports as not fixed.

  Generally updates for Windows 7 can take more than 24 hours to get the list of those available.

• the Player Windows media, rip a CD takes forever

  When I copy a CD it takes forever. This has changed recently because it was fast. It takes between 15 and 20 minutes to rip a standard CD. It is used to do this in 2 or 3 minutes. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the latest version, but it did not help. I am ripping to MP3 format 128. I ran CCleaner and Avast. Any suggestions?

  Hi razorray1,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. Do you have any third-party DVD burning software installed on the computer?
  3. What version of Windows media player installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, consult you are facing similar problem ripping CDs any other size of file and check if that helps.

  Also uninstall any of third-party DVD burning software installed on the computer and check if it helps.

• Acer takes forever to load videos

  I have 3 year, acer aspire 3100 it seems to be well but the videos take forever to load and just flash player keeps crashing. What can I do to fix this?

  Part of the problem is that your PC is a laptop 3 year old. I suggest get some RAM better and uninstall programs that take up a lot of space. If you use a bulky antivirus, try using MSE.

  Second, try to visit the macromedia flash management page and delete the cache of the pages by pressing 'delete all sites '.
  You can also try to re - install all the plugins.

  If you ever have to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  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.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  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.
