  Hi all

  We found that if you do not use Metaprofiles in your environment, you can save a fair few seconds off your time of connection by installing is not the part of the user of PNTools in your main image profiles.

  We did it here and it made a big difference.

  Thank you, Andrew

• Some games run very slow on Windows 8, as...

  Some games run very slow on Windows 8 as (chicken Invasion "v1, v2, v3" in red alert 2, Age of Empire 2)
  but on Windows 7 on the same Machine perform perfectly, I tried to install DirectX,.
  and tried to install the latest Version of the Driver VGA for Windows8 and tried to change VGA (Nvidia, AMD, Intel)
  but the games (not all games just a few) still running slow...? !!!
  Help, please...

  Wrong, wrong, wrong.

  This is entirely based on compatibility to a level beyond what is offered in the standard "Windows compatibility" section.  In addition to this, everything you said had absolutely nothing to do with the question.  This has nothing to do with starting or whatever it is in the same direction.

  What is happening is that something is interfering with the normal functioning of the game because of changes in the kernel of the operating system because it has been updated / rewritten since the inception of Windows XP.

  @SOVIETTION
  The most likely solution for you has nothing to do with the videobuffer here is how fix you it:

  Find the Red Alert installation directory and find the file * md.ini.
  In revenge for Red Alert 2/Yuri, it will be 'RA2MD. INI"(feel free to make a backup of the file before proceeding)
  Open it with your favorite text editor (Notepad for most people)
  Scroll down until you find the section [Video]
  Just below you will add this line-
  VideoBackBuffer = no
  Save the file in the same place and load the game.

  Enjoy!

  The VideoBackBuffer = none works perfectly, but in my case I also had to set the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2.

  Bravo for you!

• Why Thunderbird runs very slow on Windows 7 CAUSE: McAfee

  Installed Thunderbird worm 31.6.0 on my desktop Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 32-bit, 4G ram, Intel i5 processor clocked at 2.66 GHz,
  a few months ago and he ran very well in the beginning.
  Now that I've used for some time it slowed considerably.
  All Thunderbird functions slow clicking to select a group of messages, even deleting just one single message, opening a message, etc.
  It has compact records on several occasions, and I did not have a large number of stored messages (maybe the total of all files, including waste, spam, sent, etc. is about 500).
  I use McAfee Anit-Virus, which ignores analysis attachments to emails.

  There were reports of slow performance with Thunderbird on Win7?
  Maybe my problem is caused by McAfee?
  Ideas, suggestions are welcome,
  Thank you
  Ken

  Good. You can then mark the thread as "Solved" Please?
  Thank you.

• Equium L40 very slow and Windows Defender found a Trojan horse

  I was wondering if you could help me with a situation.

  Turned my laptop on and Windows Defender found a Trojan, so I chose all clear. Then it arrived 5 minutes later and I pressed on delete everything again.

  Afterwards my internet is incredibly slow and often freezing.
  Opening files and folders often locked up but I could still click on the red X if it took 30 seconds to close after that I clicked on the X.

  I get now random pop ups not even on the internet.

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  Hi Kieran

  Have you tried different antivirus software?
  I would recommend this. I use a software called Antivir freeware antivirus and it is nice.
  It of free and you can download it from various internet sites.

  In addition, you could use an Ad-aware to kill this Trojan horse. It of also for free and maybe it could be useful too.
  Google just to download it for free.

  If you won't be able to remove the virus from your system by using programs like Antivir, antivirus Norton antivirus, etc. and then use your Toshiba Recovery CD.

  I think this should help.

  Good bye

• Logon Windows XP takes a long time

  We have a Tecra M3 that is running windows XP. It takes about 3 minutes to type the login name to the display of the desktop - the laptop is set up to connect to our domain and everything seems to get more and more slow to log in - if you leave it at the opening screen of session for about 5 minutes and then the connection goes by almost immediately.
  What can be the problem?

  Hello

  It seems that too much software being loaded while Windows starts.
  You must use a program like Adaware to clean the registry.

  Good bye

  Hello

  I had the similar problem with my Satellite P10. After installation of SP2, the startup procedure takes much longer. Check please the processes that start to run and disable some of them if you n t need them.

  Have you installed SP2 or it is also to the recovery image?

  In my opinion, it is not specific for certain just usual laptop models. My second unit (without SP2) starts a lot faster.

• Re: Satellite L300-PSLB8E works super slow on Windows XP

  I have a Satellite L300-PSLB8E. It came with Vista Home Premium. After I did my recovery DVD, I did a SATA drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site. I did the F6 thing but kept getting always a bluescreen when the installation program got the 'starting Windows' I passed the SATA AHCI in BIOS compatibility and then managed to install XP without the SATA drive. What is strange, it's the sound LAGS and disk access is super slow. I ran a speed test program and he showed that the performance of the HARD disk are only 5% of the performance in Vista. I actually tested it on another laptop the same which was decommissioned and it had the same problem. Any advice? What is the AHCI Mode?

  This is the reason why your L300 runs slowly using Win XP.
  You have set the SATA in compatibility mode and now the HARD drive is not able to use the SATA performance.

  Your laptop would be faster using mode SATA and SATA drivers.

• elitepad 900 running slow on windows 10

  I have improved my 900 to 10 pro elitepad 32 bit of windows.

  the upgrade itself that has is passed smoothly, all the data/program were kept, quite impressive.

  Nevertheless executing windows 10 makes the Tablet works very slowly even after the end of the updates/patches and several restart.

  -l' overall interface is slow with delays between action and results

  -the menus are slow, the Tablet seems to use the drive too

  -watching a regular movie mkv/avi is very slow/ectic/cut - weather I use the new app using VLC Office or modern tv.

  -l' screen is not really turn off Hibernate, the retro-lightnigh/backlight remains lit unless a stop

  I did a roll back to windows 8.1 (super smooth, yet once very impressive) and performance is back where it was. Movies are smooth, the interface is fast...

  frustrating - have you noticed the same thing?

  I wanted to share the following with you - I had the problem of the screen backlight until I finished the following 10 Windows:

  Visit the site of HP support and access to the Elitepad 900 downloads for Windows 8.1.  Download the update of the driver/Firmware/BIOS ElitePad 900 (SP71504).  Run this update - the element that will be your problem is the Intel GMA driver included in this update.

  The question is 'Microsoft's basic graphics card"which is installed by default.  This graphics card also seems to have caused problems in other devices as well - if it is not necessarily a problem of HP.  I guess that there will be a stand-alone Setup program Windows 10 Intel GMA - but I couldn't find one for install - of course that does not mean it is not there.  The package of 8.1 installation above took place without problems on my device and the display number no longer existed.

  Just a note, Microsoft is having similar problems with Surface features.  They have users update the display driver to resolve the problem.
