• 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! :)

• slow start for Win 7 pro 64-bit

  Why am I getting this msg and having very slow Windows 7 Pro 64 bit boot up at the next boot, or system boot (s) failed to load: SMR310

  Why am I getting this msg and having very slow Windows 7 Pro 64 bit boot up at the next boot, or system boot (s) failed to load: SMR310

  Hello

  
  The SMR310.sys file system belongs to Symantec Corporation. I think you may have Norton anti-virus installed. Try to reinstall Norton anti-virus and see if the problem persists.
  [1] method: Uninstalling programs by using programs and features
  
  
  • On the start menu, select Control Panel
  • Click uninstall a program under programs
  • Select Symantec Norton Antivirus , and then click on uninstall

  You can also use Norton Removal Tool to remove Norton 2003 and subsequent proceeds.
  Thank you
  I hope this helps :)

• Slow start for Satellite Pro P300 P

  My P300 has a slow start and takes forever to exceed the windows page. Any help on this?

  Hello

  My laptop starts slowly because I had too many processes running in the context of the BONE.
  I disabled it in msconfig.
  I think you should try this too.

  In addition, you must update or remove tool TEMPRO.

• Why the update did slow my MacBook pro down so

  Why the update did slow my MacBook pro down so much? What could be in the last update of El Capitan to slow my Mid 2010 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro 2.66 down so much?   He has never run it slow before! Everything takes more time in all areas. Could I have made a mistake during the download and installation?  If so is it possible to force a re - install the latest update?

  I don't know if I can restore back after an update of this size. Everyone has similar problems or have thoughts on what could be wrong? I know it's far from being a State of the art Macbook Pro. But it was working fine before the update.

  Any thoughts would be really appreciated. I can't afford to buy anything newer right now.

  Thank you

• 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 even after factory reset

  After significant problems, mainly increasing the response slow time, which no longer responding, slow start, not being not able to uninstall the software and do not restore to any point windows recovery, I performed a factory reset.  I was running Kaspersky, Eset and Malwarebytes - I think that this is the final fall of the computer, but it has never been declared malware that has not been set.

  The problem is, even after the factory reset with NO other programs installed, I'll still have a slow start.  This should not be the case, right?

  I don't know what information you need to help me understand this.

• Slow start... That's happened?

  I have Windows 7 64 bit Pro.  My computer has been very stable and free of errors.  December 14, I did all the updates of windows and also installed Microsoft Silverlight.  Everything was a success and the computer continues to run correctly.  Two days later, I turned on the computer and it took 5 minutes to start ('Starting Windows' screen)!  This has never happened before and normal bootups takes less than a minute.  At the start of 5 minutes, the hard drive was active all the time!  After startup, the computer has been sluggish for a few minutes and moved out.  I looked at event viewer and found no errors or warnings.  The usual information events were all the same as for bootups in good health except for longer time periods between events.  I shut down the computer that took 45 seconds instead of the usual 15 seconds.  Everything has been normal since then.  I use Microsoft Security Essentials and made tests before and after the incident and found nothing.  Does anyone have an idea what may have caused this?  I should do or just ignore it since its working fine now?

  Thank you.

  I'm just following the previous post to report that the problem has been found and corrected.  In addition to the slow start that has occurred only a handful of times, the computer also showed freeze times events, about one per day on average.  These gels would last from 10 seconds to a few minutes in length.  During a freeze, the mouse will work fine but the computer does not respond to the clicks of the mouse, opening or closing an application or just about anything else.  As the hard drive light was sur-solide during a frost event but the process explore not detected no disk activity.  Without errors or warnings never appeared in the event viewer and extended hard drive test showed no problems.  However, I was always suspicious of the hard drive.  I photographed the drive and restored the image on a new hard drive and the problem was gone for good.  The only thing that has changed is the hard drive itself.  Any software problem would travel with the image, so I conclude that the culprit was the hard disk hardware.  In any case, I am happy that the problem is solved!  I hope that this monitoring will help someone else.

• Time of very slow start with SSD

  Hello

  I spent the last few days the net trying to find a solution to the boot of win7 very slow but have led to nothing so far trawling.
  Im running Win7 Pro in bootcamp on a Macbook Pro with an SSD and 16 GB of RAM, but don't get a time horribly slow start, including a screen black (with usable mouse) for a long time before the watch office. I am not able to do a reinstall but would like to get the issue resolved if possible.

  So far, I checked the event viewer to see there are problems and I don't see anything significant that the mere fact that each entry includes an 'Error' level, but I don't see what this error. I also used the process monitor to see what takes so long and there are a couple of processes which are time consuming and show a result 'Cancelled', one being svchost.exe 110secs (path: ...system32\drivers\etc) and the other 23secs Explorer.exe (path: ...appdata\roaming\microsoft\systemcertificates\my)

  I should mention that I'm very new to this kind of troubleshooting but would appreciate any help I can get!

  Thank you!

  The problem is that windows has been hanged in trying to restore network connections. Problem solved!

• iMac slow start was fast

  My iMac, with 1 disk of merger to, was very quick to open the OS since multinational April 2015, then suddenly became very very slow to open recently.  For example the Apple logo appears in a few seconds and the load in a few seconds more.  Now the Apple logo minutes to load.

  Latest version of the OS is 10.10.5.  It's 3.1 GHz Intel Core I7 processor.  The memory is 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.

  No idea why the slow start happening?  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Have 27.5 inch iMac OSX 10.11.3 computer. The memory of 4 MB.  Recently updated to 16 MB.  Now have the very slow start up.  15 minutes.

  If you put expensive RAM and/or incorrect RAM then Yes. iMacs are very sensitive to the RAM and you must use quality RAM, more experienced on these forums users use OWC (www.macsales.com) or critical (direct purchase). RAM should also be installed in pairs. If you purchased anything else, then after a report of EtreCheck of your system and we can look for obvious problems.

  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

• Slow start on Vista Home Premium - Satellite U400-15B

  Hello

  I just bought Satellite U400-15B and am finding it takes very long to start Vista, I went into msconfig and disabled the things I don't use and stuff that I think is not necessary, but it is still having to wait ages before that I can use the laptop. I have enough RAM and processor speed, so I don't think that the specifications of the laptop are a problem

  Is there something that can be done on this slow start, any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think slow start or laptop slow operations depend on good configuration of the OS. I played with this last month and I am now convinced that Vista starts and runs on my laptop.
  I wrote about this in another thread and if you have time look under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
