• Does restart/reboot the computer after installing or uninstalling a program?

  Original title: does restart/reboot the computer after installing or uninstalling a program? Which option is it on Vista? Hit reboot? Or off, wait and then start up?

  I was told that if you add or remove a prgram, after it installs you need to 'reboot '.

  Is this true?

  Does this mean that, after the program is installed, you must reach the restart button? Or press 'stop' and then again wait a minute and then be able to save the PC?

  Hello

  Often an installation or uninstallation of will need to reboot to complete and it never hurts except for the
  time it takes.

  A reboot is usually sufficient.

  I hope this helps.

• Defective touchpad (Synaptics) and slow computer after extended use (memory leak)

  Two problems have been caused with my HP Split 2 x since I bought it 2 months ago:

  (1) the touchpad works sometimes for a few seconds, while the touchscreen still work OK.

  (2) the computer becomes slow after a while of use (which varies from a few minutes to a few hours usually). The Task Manager shows 98%-99% of memory, most of which use (3.6 GB / 4 GB) are not paged memory.

  I suspect the two issues are related to a faulty Synaptics driver, according to:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/envy-X2-non-paged-pool-memory-l...

  and http://forum.notebookreview.com/razer/731374-memory-leak-synaptics-driver.html .

  I did the same test as the second link with the same result: Open "Task Manager" (Ctrl-Shift-Esc), on the 'Performance' tab, select 'memory '. Note the value for "Non paged memory. If I move the touchpad, it increases to about 1 MB every 5 seconds. If I stop moving, the value remains constant.

  I use the preinstalled Synaptics driver, version 17.0.10.9 (Sep 06, 2013) for 64-bit 8.1 window.

  Everyone has the same problem, or use it without these issues?

  I would like to know if a restoration system or factory reset may fix.

  FINALLY!

  Microsoft has just released an update for Synaptics Driver, not thanks to HP which has not found a way to provide the possible Synaptics driver as an OEM update.

  Update Windows Update to Sypatics HD TouchPad two days ago, but I would not be allowed to install as it kept then mainly in giving the 800F0100 error Code. After some research on the Internet I could find that an installation manual after the WU has downloaded the driver would be possible.

  So I went to the Device Manager > mice and other pointing devices > TouchPad Synaptics HID > properties > driver > Update Driver > Browse my computer for driver software and shown the finger/windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution/Download and everything worked like a charm = D

  I have no more memory leak and now after SEVEN MONTHS I finally can use gestures that it was supposed to.

  But I still annoyed gel problems which in my case is a dysfunction between the screen and the dock.

  Just that you wanted the guys at Microsoft to know is the solution, not the HP that would have had if they have signed and put the driver since November last at our disposal. Blame it on you, HP.

• Super slow computer after uninstalling programs...

  I recently had strange problems with my system. They include:

  • Before, when I left my computer for a bit, it goes into sleep mode and displays my screensaver. Now, instead of showing my screensaver, it only shows my wallpaper. Nothing else. No internet browsing software, no icons. My paper just painted. There are a few times when my screensaver appears but only about 1 in 5 times.
  • I put my computer to ask me a password when I wake. But the password dialog box is not displayed when I move the mouse. I have to enter Ctrl + Alt + Del to force the dialog box to appear. I'm positive, I put my computer so that I don't have to use Ctrl + Alt + Delete, but it does not work. And sometimes the command does not work yet. I can stay there and keep only typing for an hour and nothing would happen.
  • Programs to take a long time to start. Microsoft Word used to load in 1 or 2 minutes, but now I have to wait 5-10 minutes.
  • Web pages take a long time to load. It should take only a few seconds at most, but now it takes a few minutes for a page to load. I don't have the best Internet service but I am sure that shouldn't be that slow. 3 weeks, everything worked fine. Last week, all these problems began to occur. I changed my ISP 5 months ago and the Internet was going well so far. I tried to clear my cache, delete my history and cookies, but nothing works.
  • I use Google Chrome as my browser, and when I try to search something in the Omnibox (aka the address bar), it takes forever to load. I have to go to www.google.com and type my search in there. My default search provider is Google, but I don't understand why the site works very well but is not the address bar.
  • On Facebook, I can't comment on, such as updates, see all the comments on a post, or see my notifications. When I click the button I like or click on "View all comments" on a post, it does nothing. I click a few times more, but it does nothing. The same thing happens when I click on my Notifications at the top. Nothing happens. And when I click on the chat on the bottom bar to see who is online. No effect. Is this something to do with Java? I have the latest version of Java, Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave Flash.

  These problems started occurring just after that I uninstalled a few programs on my computer. They were in a few games and The Weather Channel Desktop App. If anything, uninstall programs should make my computer faster; no more slow. I have AVG antivirus installed and I've scanned my computer already and I have not all infections.
  I use Windows XP and have the latest Service Pack installed (it was 4 SP...?). My computer is somewhat old (I got it in 2005). I have a HDD AMD with maximum capacity of 40 GB. 1.70 GHz Intel Celron processor and about 220 MB of RAM then that I write this. It is quite old compared to new laptops nowadays (they have 400 GB Intel hard drives with 4 GB of RAM).

  I have AVG would eliminate for a while and see how things seem to be of course use their uninstaller from here:

  http://www.Avg.com/us-en/utilities

  You can always reinstall AVG later if yo have to do (I don't would be not so constrained).

  If you are worried about an infection, disconnect the Internet after uninstalling AVG, then see how to open your Word documents and other features with AVG off the image.

  If you are worried about not having protection AV install Microsoft Security Essentials .  MSE completed with MBAM and SAS is pretty good protection and has low overhead.

  If she was not so freakin ' complicated to upload a screenshot here, it would be nice to see the Manager of tasks sorted by the CPU column) descending) when the system malfunctions.

  Maybe someone will post this link on how to do that - I never found and it makes me sick to even read.  I am spoiled to work in the Big Boy forums where things such as viewing the screenshots are just a click away...

  Here's one way:

  To create and send/post/print capture screen or a screenshot:

  Press the Print Scrn button to copy your entire screen to the Windows Clipboard.

  Press Alt Print Scrn to copy the active window to the Windows Clipboard.

  Open MS Paint:

  Start, programs, accessories, paint

  When the painting opens, press CTRL + V to paste the Clipboard, save the new file in paint on your desktop or somewhere that you remember.  JPG files take up less disk space than BMP files and are just as readable.

  Make screen captures as much as you want.  Practice makes perfect.  Make sure that your screenshot does not contain personal information.  Practice the visualization of your images before you send them to make sure they agree.

  Some sites will allow you to attach a file directly on your post, but not the MS Answers forums.  If the site has a sort of piece attachment/upload function it is usually easier just to use it.

  If there is no such function in your forum to download files, then use a third-party free hosting site WWW image.

  Create a free account on some free photo hosting website.  You can always delete your account later if you wish.  Here are some free image hosting sites:

  http://www.imageshack.us/
  http://Photobucket.com/
  With your free account, download your screenshot (s) (JPG or BMP files) on the site and it is up to you to a URL (Direct link) for your new images that you can paste the link directly in the post message, e-mail, etc.

  Send this web address link live here in your answer, and we can click on the address of the link and see your screenshot.  After as many times as you need - the sites are free.

  When you are finished, the link that you post here should look like this my poor system:

• Files muliple lost after installing McAfee

  original title: I lost all my files and my computer's configuration when he started upward.  Is it possible to recover?  I can find a few documents in the file recently modified.  But I can't find them in my documents.

  I recently installed a new version of macafee and restarting the computer, my computer scanned all my files and then started acting really weird.

  Did you uninstall the old version of the anti-virus you had installed 1, before installing the most recent McAfee?

  If you haven't done so already, maybe that's the problem.

  I can say to do a restore of the system; info below.

  But I would have preferred contact you McAfee 1, as long as the problem began after their latest AV program installed.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

  Restore point:

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

• Satellite A660 - slow start after installing Win7

  I have an A660. Satellite (model aus)

  I installed the 64 bit version of windows 7 and starting to take more than a minute. I was wonderign if I used a retail drive and used the serial number at the back of the computer laptop would it not be a better facility.
  Then, I would install just the stuff I need.

  Also, so I use a commercial version would drive recovery based HARD stop working? (because the commercial version may overweite some entries written in the section the drive boot HARD-now if I press 0 he goes to setup - if rerail version replaces this function would stop working?)

  Thanks heaps.

  Each Toshiba laptop comes with the Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image contains several specific Toshiba and utility tools that begin with OS and also some additional software.

  What you need now is the right configuration. With other words, you can remove the unnecessary software from the system and stop all applications, you need the startup list t.
  How to do this?
  Press WIN + R > write msconfig and confirm with OK. The system configuration will be open. Go to the Startup tab and clear the check box in front of app you n t need initially to the top.

  Of course, you can install a clean version of the OS, but for product activation, you can use the product key from the sticker. This license is for the version of Windows that you have with your laptop.
  HDD recovery works with the factory only settings. When you install the clean operating system, you will not be able to start. What you need to do is to create recovery DVDs after Toshiba s instruction how to do this.

  If you have any other questions please let us know.

• Very slow computer after the latest updates

  Hello

  I've updated one of my PCs running Vista x 64 updates of security two days ago.
  Now that the systems takes more than 15 minutes just to start at the opening screen of session and as much time again to get on the desktop.
  The mouse cursor is always fast as usual, but everything else including the caret blink time is super slow.

  This is a really clean system which is used strictly for dedicated 3D work, so he has nothing but Max, EU3 and WinZip on it.  It is not used for Internet access.
  No hardware or software changes attempted in several months, other than updates Windows System.
  Intel C2Q Q6600, 8 GB 1066 RAM, NVidia 8800GTS 512, WD 500 GB HD, ASUS P5K mobo.

  I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem with updates, especially as it's really painful trying to solve the problems since that it literally takes hours to try whatever it locate either changes the problem.  I'll do a wipe and reinstall if I have to spend a lot more time with reboots, it will be faster.

  I am answering my own question here... :-)
  Maybe it will help someone else and save a few hours of work waiting for the slow start to fix things.

  For those who are interested: the OS is Vista Home Premium x 64. Material has been listed above. It is a high-end with hardware system high range, coolers, cases, power supply, etc.
  This is not a system of job full time, it is used only for specific work I usually do a few hours on one or two days a week.

  I timed it really starts the Welcome screen and it is more than 45 minutes. lol :-D
  I pulled off the side of the case and noticed that the HDD was just chewing on something.
  Start in safe mode was also just as painfully slow as standard start (argh).

  Regarding the updates of Windows, I have this system set to inform only, so I only install updates at the end of all the days that I work on the computer. Where my assumption that it's a matter of update that caused the problem, since nothing ever changes, on this subject - files are still saved out to a network server.

  However, once I could get on the computer, I noticed that I had also installed Windows Live Mail top the same day I did the updates of Windows (two days ago). WLM has been installed just to get a screenshot of it for my blog, it was never really used for Internet e-mail, it should be uninstalled some time on one of the next system bootups.

  Then... Installation apparently a combination of WLM or the latest Windows updates has completely borked something on the computer starts.
  I got my DVD of Vista, it started, ran the Startup Repair. Now, the system works very well. WLM has been uninstalled in the case where it has been part or all of the guilty.
  As with a PC, it could be something to do with the specific hardware and software configuration, the order of WLM and updates installed, specific updates installed, etc..

  I would recommend that anyone with a similar configuration be sure to install WLM or updates in the estate where they fall in the same question.
  Just don't panic if you have problems, try a DVD Vista Startup Repair. :-)

• PC running very slow XP after installing SP3, can I reinstall?

  My PC is turned sssslloooowwwwwlllyyy both since the installation of SP3.  I do not want to troubleshoot SP3 for now, so can I remove and reinstall?  My PC is quite old in years of PC, but performance has been acceptable for me up until SP3 came.

  Thank you

  Bidwin

  It is important to disable programs such as Webroot before installing SP3. Personally, I prefer to install the stand-alone version of SP3 while I'm offline and after setting up a clean boot:

  Also, have a look here:

  http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron/archive/2008/05/08/Windows-XP-SP3-read-all-prerequisites-for-a-successful-installation.aspx

  If you want to solve your problem of performance, set up a CleanBoot and systematically add back programs/process until you figure out the problem:

• Crash computer after installing Netgear N600 Wireless Dual band Router WNDR3400. My detail of error says I may need to update my BIOS to 8400 has 09 but I can't seem to download the desktop to install.

  My computer crashes after I installed the Netgear N600 Wireless Dual band Router WNDR3400.   I uninstalled and then reinstalled, but my home computer still crashed.  My detail of error says I may need to update my BIOS to 8400 has 09 but I can't seem to download the desktop to install.  Any suggestion?

  Hi JudyWinn,

  If you need assistance for updating BIOS (Basic Input Output System), I recommend you contact the manufacturer of your computer to update the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) & check if the problem persists.

  Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Hope the helps of information.
  Please post back and we do know.

• I can't start my computer after installing updates to manualling

  This happened almost a year and once from time to time I revisit the issue to see if I can find a solution.

  I tried to download the new version of Windows Live Messenger. Installation did not work because I needed a certain update. This hard drive (I have several) was not install updates for a while. Up to this point, I just thought it was a nuisance, but not a major problem. Because my computer would not install the updates on its own, and I needed a special update for the new Windows Live Messenger, I went online to find the update to install. I got the update ID (I don't remember what it was) so I quickly found and installed. Everything seemed fine until I restarted my computer - or attempted to guess - after installation. My computer won't start. I get a screen asking if I want to start Windows normally or start windows repair.

  Here are some of the things I've tried so far:

  Start Windows normally: a screen comes up saying something about checking the disks and it is recommended that you do not stop the disk check. I do not have anything and immediately it says that the disk check has been arrested. He stays on this screen infinitely - believe me I left on this screen for hours.

  Repair Windows: I used windows repair in the past for other problems and it worked wonderfully. This time I click to run windows repair and I go to a blue screen with the background of the blue sinuous line of vista but there is to this and nothing comes up.

  Safe mode (and any version of safe mode): when starting, I pressed F8 to start the extended options. All safe mode options lead to the same thing. I get a list of drivers and it says please wait... It always gets stuck on \windows\system32\drivers\crcdisk.sys and it is going nowhere.

  I tried almost all the options in the F8 menu and they all be given the normal startup problem or safe mode

  I then tried to do a repair of my disk of vista system. This time - unlike the previous attempt to repair windows - I got the menu normal repair. Unfortunately, the repair "attempted to correct the disk error" during more than 15 hours. I then shut down my computer, once again beaten by my computer.

  I always use this computer with other drives with no problems. Thus, it is certainly a problem on the hard drive and must be associated with the update I installed manually before this problem.

  Help, please!

  Hi, EMP,.

  Since you are unable to boot into safe mode and unable to repair the system, you can try to boot from the Windows Vista disc and try to perform a system restore.

  Method 1: Try to perform a system retsore.

  For more information, you can consult the following articles:

  An update is not installed successfully when you try to install the update in Windows Vista and Windows 7

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  Method 2:

  If you still experience the problem, then try to perform a checkdisk to repair bad sectors on the hard drive.

  You can boot from Vista disk full or to run Checkdsk select command prompt from the System Recovery Options menu.

  a. Insert the installation disc.

  b. restart your computer.

  c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

  Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings.

  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

  e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

  f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

  Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

  Note: When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

  g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

  h. close all applications and restart the computer.

  Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

   Hope this information is useful.

• Windows update - Windows Update is not restore my windows/desktop computer after installing updates

  When running Windows Update is not reproduce my office and rather trashes everything.  Ysterday I left to work with over a dozen research Internet Explorer open and this morning, I get to a Windows auto update cycle, which wrecked all.  Well Yes, they are lost and of course, I can spend an hour or more to find once again but my boss is breathing down my neck, as if it was my fault.  Microsoft how inconsiderate!

  Of course, I have a solution, TURN OFF Microsoft Update but is this really what Microsoft wants?

  Please people think.

  Hi jbeech,

  No, I don't work for Microsoft and I am not associated with them in any way (other than to receive awards and certificates I earned on my own).  I'm a volunteer civilian gift free time to help other people.

  I meant nothing personal, per my comments of workflow.  I was just trying to do my best to help you avoid this problem in the future and apologize if you took it the wrong way.  I agree with you that he must restore it things automatically (as it does when you use the hibernation), but maybe that can be done (at least not always) because updates may affect items that are open and to update these programs must be closed (which makes saving them more difficult because if they look different after the update) It may not work if we try to restore them unless they can find a way to save ONLY the information and it is a much more difficult task).  This problem does not occur with an accident or an unexpected shutdown (and a complete restoration in cases does not always work as well and completely that we hope - at least I had problems back exactly where I was with all that every time).

  While you can choose to turn off automatic updates, you don't want to not go for very long without updating your system, so checking periodically (although if you want to do on a daily basis - I would try at least every Wednesday at least since most updates are released every Tuesday) is important in all cases.  The option I suggested (i.e. automatic downloads but no facilities) would at least them already downloaded (you would not need to check - that they would be there) it would take much less time to choose and install if you show if off completely - and when you decide to install, you will find it takes MUCH more time because you need to download and install (unless they are already downloaded).  But it is entirely up to you.

  Good luck and best wishes!

• Slow computer after reinstalling Windows

  Original title: where can I download XP with SP3 and make an installable CD

  I have Xp home basic CD. As the partition on which the operating system has been installed is full I formatted the HD and reinstalled XP home basic, updated to SP3 as before, but now the system is slow. I did reinstalling, the second time, but the problem persists. I used to reinstall it form the CD, where can I get a CD of XP home SP3 with for installation. OR is the site from where I can download and burn a CD installable.

  The installation of XP Home Sp3 then installation will produce exactly the same results in terms of performance as the installation of a CD with Sp3 integrated on it. You need to study more directly what makes the system seems slow. Because of differences in the product ID, it is possible that the license key that you currently have will not work on a built-in drive.

  You can not legitimately download an integrated cd image but if you have some versions of the software, you can create your own CD burning by slipstreaming service pack on the copied on your hard drive XP CD files, and then creating a new CD bootable with the result.

  A search for "slipstream sp3 xp home" will give you a lot of help.

  Speed for new construction problems are almost always due to hardware specs, the easier to solve in memory.
