• Thunderbird slow download on windows with Norton 8.1

  Hello

  I used Thunderbird with Linux, Windows XP & 7 (Norton) without any problem.

  Now have 8.1 (Norton) the download speed is very slow and boring, I tried to download only the headers but if I want to download the rest of enamel is very "hit and Miss" do not download.

  get very fed up

  Thank you very much for answering I forgot the question was still open.

  The problem has been resolved by the recent update for Thunderbird - download speed is now instant - and still is after upgrade to win 10. I can only assume that it was a problem with the previous version of Thunderbird.

• My new HP Pavilion with windows 7, I bought recently is terribly slow download?

  I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and bought a new HP Desktop Pavilion. It's terribly slow download.  So slow, the computer falls asleep before the download ends.  Windows 7 sucks. Is there a solution?

• REPEAT THE DOWNLOAD VIA WINDOWS UPDATE

  HI HI! Last week, I noticed that the Windows Update icon continues to show I have a new critical update to be installed. I'll go ahead and make this facility, it strengthens its registry backup and it will say it is successful and if you look in the history of successful downloads it will show there as well for all the times I've downloaded it, BUT when the PC is restarted, the icon will be back once again or sometimes in only a few minutes after that the first case was allegedly downloaded. Update is Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - December 2009 (KB890830. So far, I have 7 different instances of the same download the update history. I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate, Service Pack 2. I used malwarebytes and SUPERAntispyware to scan the PC and it found no infection. I have AVG Internet Security 9.0 as my anti-virus and firewall. BTW * I noticed my PC is much more slow and made windows Explorer freezes which prompted me to think about an infection, but nothing is found *.

  A last round in my bag:

  Uninstall AVG Free 9.0 & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

• Slow download on a single computer

  I have 3 laptops.  The first is a HP Pavilion since 2009. Secondly, one is a Toshiba satellite about 2 years. In third place is Lenovo around the age of 8 months.

  HP has been upgraded to windows 7 and Toshiba comes with windows 7.

  My internet package is 50 Mbps.  I currently get very close and sometimes more with the ch and pretty close with Lenovo. It's the Toshiba I constantly had problems with.  I check the speed with speedtest.net

  The Toshiba constantly fluctuates between 3 and 22 Mbps. (22's on a good day) usually on average 11-17

  My cable company has been here many times and they can't find anything wrong. They even replaced all the wires at home to see if that would help.  If I connect with ethernet then I get the speed I should get. But of course, I don't want to sit in this room connected to the router.

  I tried and uninstalled the wireless card without noticing any difference.

  I hope to find the answer from someone here. It's pretty frustrating when you try to stream movies that they retain the buffering and I am unable to watch a full.

  I even had Geek Squad look at him and they have no idea why this is happening.

  Hello

  Im getting a little frustrated here since I tried to install several times now. After you download the windows files, I'm invited to download the support software. When that ends the next thing appears.

• Very slow download speeds

  I just bought a macbook 12 "that I love. The only problem is I noticed very slow download speeds when downloading apps. I have also a 13 "macbook pro that I use on the same internet connection and downloads very quickly.  I have not tried to download any music or video yet, so I don't know if it's just a problem with applications, but it is ridiculously slow. It's a trait of these macbooks little, or something may be wrong?

• Can't download clear window automatically

  Using Firefox and WIndows 7 Ulitmate 17-18 on desktop and laptops, both set up equally. On laptop, can't download stop window save the download history. must be disabled manually. It started at least with v17 or before, and the upgrade to v18 does not change. Have dechecked 'remember to browse and download history', and even that does not work. A related issue is one that I really want to, which is apparently is more available in the latest versions of Firefox, is to have custom history that records the history research & shape (until deactivated manually), records the history (xx) days of navigation, but does NOT record all download history, especially in the downloads window. This used to be possible and works very well in previous versions. Now, it seems we cannot set the time to save browsing history (or not) and cannot be separated the download history of navigation history. It seems that "improvements" have in fact reduced the options available (Oh, how I miss FF 5-6!)

  Did you watch these prefs?

  I am trying to reactivate the display, or to remember the list of downloaded files in the Download Manager window. I want to be able to drag and drop directly from this window into a folder of my choice. (I used to be able to do this, but apparently I missed that...)

  I tried the suggestions that could easily be found, including Firefox to remember the whole story in the privacy of the upgrade Options tab in.

  I have also deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file to 'reset' the values default to the browser, but in vain.
