• HP 15 laptop: slow start, programs and internet

  My sister, I bought this new laptop and surprisingly, it was very slow. She did not like how slow it was, so she gave it to me. Now, its my laptop and I'm trying to understand what is wrong with it.  Starting upwards takes 5-10 minutes and opening the programs to take 3 minutes. I don't have the games installed or many apps. I restarted my laptop, but it is still slow. When I open internet, it takes a minute to load the google page. When searching for something else, it takes 5 minutes to load another page. Help, please.

• Windows 7 32-bit slow start of blue circle hangs on the network icon in the tray for 10 minutes, some programs don't load until the problem resolves.

  Hello world.

  It will be long and windy.

  I have a problem with my Dell XPS M1530.

  im going to write down the details of my question, short first. so if you want you can read my short story on my laptop and I.

  • Slow start.
  • Network at startup initialization problem.
  • Blue circle weighs on my network icon in the taskbar notification for 10 minutes or more. then she disappears with the problem that everything starts to operate correctly.
  • some startup programs do not start until the issue is resolved. (blue circle disappears) i.e. Dell touchpad, magic disc, pda.net and perhaps language bar.
  • programs that have to do with the network or the internet such as IE or center network to hang until the issue is resolved.
  • Some programs won't load if started up that the problem is solved. i.e. open office, cakewalk sonar.

  Another thing, I noticed. If I have automatic network connection configuration and the network is in range when I launch firefox I can actually serf the web regardless of the question.

  I'm not the only one having this problem, but solutions that work for some do not work for me. some of the things I've tried to understand.

  • has run msconfig to see if it is one of the start up programs or cervix causing the problem. found nothing.
  • has ran the command cmd, I forgot what's it called some thing/something else. It digitizes and restores the registers according to me. did not help
  • Used pc AVG scanner. then corrected all the errors found and the questions. did not help.
  • reinstalled the network drivers. did not help.
  • Ran startup recovery tool to fix problems at the beginning. did not help.
  • Booted up my laptop in SafeMode with network. Works very well

  Also, the problem started not with win 7 install I had it on my laptop well before the Enigma.

  im running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. as if lately, about 3 months ago, my laptop started to start slowly and be laggy when the system boots. I have no much attention at first. Since the question does not disappear on its own, I noticed that my network in the notification bar icon has a blue circle probably because its network initialization or loading something that is bound to it something as is. After about 10 minutes the issue resolves itself and everything works fine until I have reboot or restart. also if I put my laptop to sleep when I start it it works fine. I think that the time to resolve that issue got longer it is about 10 min now but it used a lot less. at least that's what I recall. In addition, I noticed a few more things. If I left click on the network icon does nothing when normally it will display network connections. If I right click on it displays troubleshooting and Open Network and Sharing Center. Troubleshooting doesn't help and returns nothing. Network and sharing Center is suspended until the problem resolves. in fact, some programs won't load until it the problem goes away like internet explore, network and sharing virtually Center almost everything what has to do with the network and also other programs that require a little more resources e.g. cakewalk Sonar. In addition, other startup programs and services such as Dell touch pad, magic disk, PDA. NEt don't start until after the problem goes away. What else... the kicker is that while the issue is to present the networks I connect to automatically are in fact very well and I have internet, even though the network is still initializing. what I mean is that if I start my portable firefox and launch (cannot use IE because he hangs up) I can go online and the serf of the web.

  Well, I am at a loss and don't know what to do next, except to format and clean install. However, people who did it until the problem was which leads me to believe that this is one of the windows updates may be.

  If someone knows how to fix this problem or can give a kind of constructive contribution, I'm all ears.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Kosmosis,

  I had the same problem, and after fishing trawl through the web to find answers, this is the most reliable solution that I found. At the very least, it will help to determine where the problem is.

  (1) reboot your computer.

  (2) go to Run--> services.msc

  (3) to sort the list by status (click the heading)

  (4) see those blocked at the 'boot '? These are your incriminated objects.

  Apparently, Windows has problems initializing services, and until he solves, or give up, he can't go the rest of the startup procedure. Different people get stuck on different things. For me, it was the 'Server' service as jams it for 20 minutes or more.

  You have 2 options:

  Right click 1)--> properties and change the Startup Type to "automatic (Delayed). This requires to load later, that hopefully allows all the rest at the end of initialization so that you can use the computer first.

  (2) read the Description of the service and see if you can find whats causing it to get stuck. In my case, 'Server' rule of network discovery, file sharing and printing. I realized that I UNPLUGGED a NAS from Buffalo, who worked as a print server as well. My windows was blocked to find a printer on a network that was no longer available. Remove the printer from devices solved the problem.

  If all else fails, you can always try to disable the service. This is probably not the best reccomendation, like its there for a reason, but it might help you to troubleshoot.

  Hello

  My notebook booted up like a turtle. Do you know why?
  Because many applications have been installed in the autostart folder or in the registry, run entry and this affected the start-up procedure.
  I had Norton Antivirus installed and loaded always at the beginning.

  I read that this software needs of too many resources and slows down the performance of the laptops.
  I removed and instead of Norton, I use another program called Antivir antivirus.
  It s freeware and my notebooks starts much faster than with preinstalled Symantec Norton Antivirus.

  I recommend also using a small tool called CCleaner.
  It repairs the registry of the operating system and remove all garbage and junk of the system.
  It s really nice

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro - Slow start up and sound is messed up

  I had my * Toshiba Satellite Pro * with * Windows XP * for a good few years now. She has always worked like a gem and only gave me no problems until a few weeks ago.

  A few weeks ago I was downloading a program and with it the virus 'Antivir Solutions' very undesirable and unliked. I've done everything I can to get rid of this disaster (with the help of the support forums) and I think that I managed to get rid of it, but since my computer has not been the same.

  I had trouble downloading a PDF document, a few days ago and it froze so I tried to restart that caused the computer to have a hissing fit, remove my user account which meant I had to configure everything again from scratch. And, now, the computer takes a good 45 minutes from the moment you press the button "ON" when it is ready to start working. Not to mention, it takes a good 10 minutes every time you click on an icon for the program to start actually...

  I tried to defrag the system and you have tried to uninstall unused programs to speed up the computer, but it did not work.
  I also ran several anti-virus (e.g. Norton, AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials) to make sure that I don't have wicked not spoil me, but they come clean.

  May I also add the sound is messed up also. If I use the built-in speakers or external speakers, the sound is disjoint and broken. Like any video I have play.

  I don't know what to do.
  I can't really afford a new computer, but I need my computer to be reliable. I use my computer for 12 of the 24 hours a day...
  * What can I do? *

  Hi nicoletrist,

  I put t know what laptop you have exactly, but I think that the slow start Windows is caused due to viruses you have or had.
  A few years ago I also had a virus and it was causing a very slow start to the top, he did take up to 10 minutes until Windows has been loaded and the only solution to get rid of this used Toshiba recovery disc.

  I would like to recommend you. Use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings and save your data, because everything on the HARD drive will be erased.
  I'm sure after using the laptop recovery disk will work like a charm again! :)

• Satellite L550 - system slow start

  Hi people!

  Got a new Satellite L550 running Vista 32 - bit, everything seems fine except for a few things on this machine that goes like this:

  1 system restore is one hell of a long process I have ever met so far-time is gasoline and 17 GB of restore disks its really a whopper!
  2. If you have any trouble with the 'text leap' (when entering) so I have. Sound the Alps Touchpad I found must be configured (by disabling the tapping) that's if you can find the tab 'Advanced' in the properties of the mouse
  3. I tweaked my startup programs, but this machine, of course, happens to a slow start. Any help here

  Otherwise a pleasure to have abandoned another manufacturing in favor of elegant, intelligent Toshiba laptop and hopes that its evidence switch!

  Hello

  I had a problem of cursor jump as well, but that was my mistake... I touched the touchpad accidentally during typing...
  I could solve this problem by disabling the touch pad using the FN + F9 key combination.

  PS; You have the latest version of the BIOS? Isn't it? Then update.

• Slow start up on my Satellite A660/07U

  I have a Toshiba A660/07u computer. She has 32-bit and 64-bit windows. I prefer to use 64-bit Windows 7.
  The thing is noticed Windows 7 is a good 2 minutes to get to my office. It's desktop in about a minute and then still charges... Meanwhile I can't access what anyone, if I try to access a program (such as ie) it would be insensitive and take a white to recover.

  So overall 1 minute on the desktop (as soon as I press the button) and then another minute on the desktop. Is there something wrong? Others using the template there?

  Or is this model designed only to be used with 32-bit?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Each preinstalled own Toshiba notebook with recovery image has of course, fairly slow start. Is not visible on your laptop only. When I got my Satellite P500 I noticed the same thing.
  This is nothing unusual because software Toshiba engineers have enabled Autostart with Windows for all important and utility tools. Some of them are not so important and can be disabled.

  Antivir (McAffe) preinstalled application can also slow Windows startup, so there is definitely no reason to panic. What you need to do is to configure your Windows. This means remove all applications, you do not need. Disable auto-start for all Toshiba stuff you n t need.
  Also, make sure that the Microsoft updates are not set to the automatic update option. This means that Windows can download all the updates in the background and you will know what is going on. This download and installation can and will slow down the performance of the laptop.

  I recommend choose you option inform me of updates but let me choose... When you do this, you wll be informed of new updates. You can check the updates are listed, and then decide to install immediately, or maybe more later.

  Check this and let us know whether or not the starting time will be reduced.

• Satellite A300-1MV slow slow start-up and ongoing execution place

  I recently bought a Satellite A300-1 mV it runs vista,.
  I have the trial running Mcafee and other preinstalled software that came on the phone. My problem is that the startup of the computer seems to take a ridiculous amount of time to start, once past the ORB of vista, that it says please wait which lasts about a minute until the password request is displayed.

  I had a quick glance in the problemreports in the Panel and concluded that the program of toshiba tempro was hung up at startup so disabled but doesn't seem to have any effect, I also find that when for example you double-click a photo thumbnail to view it, it takes about 30 seconds to appear on the fullscreen allthough, the window appears on the start menu to the low allmost bar immediately.

  I defragmented the hard drive, scandisk, memory checking, virus check etc... I compared it to a friends laptop dell which has less memory, but the same processor spec and vista and that seems to work 10 times faster... any ideas?, I wonder if it is a program of toshiba at the origin of the problem.

  However, I have a problem with acrobat reader from opening on its own and telling me it can't read the file (do not know what file)

  I uninstalled it and reinstalled but still have the same question...! Help!
  See you soon

  Hello

  Very nice thread on slow start up you will find under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947

• 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:

  http://Windows-XP-tricks.com/direct-memory-access-DMA-on-IDE-hard-drive.php

  and

  http://winhlp.com/node/10

  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"...

• Slow start, stop, ~ does not etc. Help!

  I'll try and be as organized as possible.  If you think you know something that could help please let me know.  I really need my computer is working again!

  Problem:

  For probably 9/26 my computer worked do everything very slowly.  It's strange to me because it happened all of a sudden and it's generally pretty fast.  I called Toshiba and see what they could do, they just said to do a system restore which has worked for a day and then he returned to its slowness.  It works all programs slowly, everything loads slowly, often Microsoftword said it does not respond as well as internet Explorer.  My internet has been fast is now has slowed down a bit...

  My Info to the computer:

  Toshiba Satellite L305D
  3.00 GB RAM
  80% free space in memory
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
  Almost 1 year.

  If you need me to tell you anything about it or just ask.  I would really like to find a solution to this.

  What's new

  Good, then, a classmate and I have discussed the issue and I told them I don't think it was malware because I have two installed anti-virus software.  McFee and trend.  They told me that it is bad to have 2 because apparently, the programs will be fight between them?  So I uninstalled McFee, for now and simply tend.  Which fixed the problem immediately.  Now my computer works normally.

  Another friend is always worried that it might be a virus?  Any suggestions?  My programs pick up nothing, so not sure?

  Go to control panel > Performance information > advanced tools (left column). If you look up a few lines under performance issues, this will tell you if Windows knows what is causing slow starts and stops. If there's nothing there, you most likely have been affected by malicious software...

  Run these:

  Malwarebytes - http://malwarebytes.org

  SuperAntispyware - http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html

  They could get somewhere...

• slow start up and slow down the stop

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my brother's computer. It's very slow when starting and very slow when it stops, also for when the computer is in use it is slow.

  I defragment the hard disk, use disk cleanup and search for any virus.

  I also looked in the advanced tools and performance tools, he gave me information indicating that the wmi provider host and the vaio entertainment database service caused the computer to the slow start.
   
  IM afraid if I remove these automatically start something worse would go wrong.

  Thank you for your time.

  Hi rookcpu,

  Before you attempt any other measure, I suggest you try the following basic steps, these steps are worth a try:

  Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

  If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

   

  Step 2: Put the computer to boot to determine which program is causing the problem

  Follow step 1 in the link below,

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

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

• my laptop is slow start!

  Hi my laptop which has windows xp of slow start and may take about 3omins you load a screen all the programs an icons on my desktop. I used prior winows of care to scan my laptop own an also used iobit smart defrag, but it is still slow. I also removed a lot of used programs. I also used my mcafee security software to scan virus ect but it is still slow. can anyone help?

  Thanks Adam

  Try scanning preforming using http://www.malwarebytes.org/

  and

  http://www.systweak.com/AntiSpyware/download/

  or

  http://www.lavasoft.com/

  or

  Spybot Search and destroy

  then use spywareblaster to protect your pc and firefox as browser. for firefox use mcafee siteadviser and adblockplus and no scripts to increase your security.

  I would you recommend using avast for the best time of the boot (it's what I think)

  Try preformaing disk cleanup and disk défragmentent using windows one.

  minimize your startup programs using msconfig (just type it run in)

  Make sure that your windows is up to date as well as pilots. Find disk errors and preform scannow sfc.

  Try using msconfig clean boot preforming, clear all your startup programs and no windows services, and then restart see if it makes a difference, if it then allowed the u off to see which one is initially slow start. If the clean boot did not help then steps above should solve the problem.

  Use ccleaner to clean the junk files on your pc. It can also speed up your pc.

• HP Pavilion dv6 - slow start compared to laptop older?

  Hello

  Thank you

  Hi TheLongBoarder,

  The slow start could be caused by several different things. The first thing you want to do when diagnosed with a problem with a computer, is if it's a hardware problem or a software problem. In your case, I think it would be a hardware problem. You shouldn't have a problem with the memory or the speed of your hard drive. This model must be run at least 4 GB or 6 GB of RAM.

  It also depends what 'boot' you talk about.

  1. if it was the boot of when you press the power button to the Windows login screen (post), it could be a problem with the BIOS. May not have the most recent version, or the settings in the BIOS cannot be addressed to optimize speed and start Windows.

  If the version of the BIOS is the problem, you can find the latest version by going to the page drivers downloads HP, select the exact model of your laptop (i.e.. dv6-6c35dx) number, select your operating system and navigate to the section called "BIOS". Follow the instructions below to check if the currently installed version is newer or older version online.

  1. Click on Start and then run.

  2. In the text box on the run window, type regedit and click OK. This will open the registry editor program.

     Note: Do not make changes to any entry anywhere in the registry editor to avoid causing serious problems in the system. These steps only directly allow you to display a registry entry, is not to make changes.

  3. Find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE under my computer folder and click the plus sign (+) after the folder name to expand the folder.

  4. In records resulting, find and click the plus sign (+) next to the hardware STORE to expand this folder.

  5. In records resulting, find and click on the (+) sign next to the DESCRIPTION to expand this folder.

  6. In records resulting, locate and click the folder System .

  7. In the results displayed in the right window, locate the entries SystemBiosVersion andSystemBiosDate .

  8. The data in the SystemBiosVersion field contains the version of the BIOS of your motherboard. This field can also contain additional information such as the manufacturer of the chipset and the manufacturer of the BIOS.

  9. The data in the field SystemBiosDate contains the date in the calendar associated with the current version of the BIOS of your motherboard. The date of the BIOS can be useful to determine the current version of the BIOS from the motherboard manufacturer's Web site if the version is not clear in the area of SystemBiosVersion .

  10. Close the registry editor without making any changes.

  The BIOS settings: If the problem is with the settings in the BIOS, there are a couple of tweeks that allow you to optimize speed. When you turn on the computer, the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) works a lot of tests on devices and configure the devices connected to your computer. If some parameters are not configured correctly, the startup of your PC speed can be reduced. Enter the BIOS setup and look for commands or settings that may not be correct. To be sure, run a Google search to be sure. Make sure that your first boot device is set on your main hard drive. Make sure that the logo of the motherboard display is turned off. And make sure that the Quick start quick start feature is activated.

  2 if your talking about startup as the loading process connection Windows for a full load of Windows in the Windows desktop, you may have a problem with too many programs to load with windows. In this case, you can easily check and disable all programs unwanted on startup with Windows, which can cause speed problems. You can do this:

  1. click "Start" and type "msconfig" in the search bar and press "enter."

  2. This will open "System Configuration utility".

  3. on the right side of the window, navigate to the tab "start".

  4. you will see a list of all programs to load with Windows. Here, you can decide what you do or you want to load with Windows. Some programs are required to load with Windows so that Windows load and run properly, so careful who you disable. If you are not sure if it's necessary for Windows, you can do a quick search on google to be sure. Search for the song titled "startup item". Copy and paste in Google and type "is"EXAMPLE"necessary to start Windows? You will usually find your answer quickly enough.

  Slow start could be caused by a couple of other reasons as well.

  1.  fragmented - registry Windows registry is the most indispensable of the Windows operating system. When he begins to have problems with the registry, the speed and functionality of Windows becomes considerably slower. I doubt that this could be the problem with your computer. It is possible, but it is new and that if you have applied heavy use in a short period of time, it is not the likely culprit. If it, however, it's worth a check. You can find a good registry cleaner online and give him a check.

  2 of virus or Spyware infections- once the infections on the computer, they can cause immediate damage to Windows features. If you have been online a lot, even with an anti-virus program, you may have a virus any. You must run a full scan just to be sure. You can also download the free version of Malwarebytes and run as well. It works very well and is quite powerful.

  Hope that this helped you and you have this problem is resolved. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to me message. In fact, I have a model dv6 that I may be able to help in any future issues, you may have.

  Later,.
