Starting slow/delayed after logging...

I have a 9 year old, desktop pc Dell Dimension 4500, works under Windows XP.  Problem: When starting to shutdown or reboot pc, there is at least a delay time of 10-15 minutes until I can go online or open some programs.  By the Manager of Windows taskbar-> the 'Users' tab, I realize "User" is strangely empty - despite being connected.  After said time my "user" name appears, followed immediately by an access internet and other orders that have been requested.  I would be grateful for any suggestions how to get my "User" name to load / appear faster.  Thank you!

Hi Nevets1901,

User name that appears empty in the Manager of tasks could be related to performance on the computer problems.

  • Delay after domain join

    Dear Microsoft team,

    We have six identical touchscreen PC ("sword of the FEC") "Windows POSReady 2009". This problem affects all of them, while this does not happen on another of our clients in the domain (XP and 7).
    The domain controller is running "Windows Server 2011 64-bit" "VMWare ESXi 5" with a single field.»
    Before joining the domain, clients asked me to wait while the 'domain' list is being created. This process took about four full minutes.
    Because customers are now reunited to form the area, they 'autologon' using a domain account and start our application of sales...
    The boot process is delayed nearly three full minutes then the PC does nothing... until the startsound of Windows is playing.
    It does not have software or drivers on the affected machines.
    This is my diagnosis up to now:
    • LMHOSTS: creating an lmhosts file has not resolved the problem (KB314108).
    • DHCP: Configuring a static IP address does not resolve the problem.
    • Services: startup time is down to two minutes when the 'TCP/IP NetBIOS assistance' is disabled. However, he breaks the updates of group policy at startup ("the network path is not found"). Manually run "gpupdate" is always present.
    • NMCAP: Attached are four screenshots of MS NMCAP. The PC has been powered at exactly 21:43:45, received his lease DHCP-47 seconds later, but did not respond to ping from 02:50 minutes after the power! You can see the last ping unanswered in "cap1.jpg" on the top and the first ping responded in 'cap4.jpg '. You may find solution inbetween. There are a few "Bad Checksum" - messages. This log file NMCAP begins at 2:40 Minutes after the ignition and is 22 MB.
    • XBOOTMGR: Attached are four screenshots of a "boot trace. The Analyzer said he got a "reversal of time. Could be the solution to our start delay? Track does not belong to the same machine as NMCAP. The ETL file is 141 MB.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help!

    The solution:

  • 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:

  • Why my PC slow down after loading of Norton Internet security 2012

    Windows Search

    Why my PC slow down after loading of Norton Internet security 2012

    Because Norton is a Devourer of resources. I would say deleting and using a user-friendly program over Windows.
     
    Norton and McAfee are the two least friendly Windows security and swine resource to start programs. My ISP offers the McAfee security suite for free and I refuse to use it.
     
    I used to use Avast in conjunction with Windows Defender, (still a decent option), but since MSE became of age, I have used which. MSE is an anti-virus, Anti-Spyware and Anti-Malware program all in one. IMO, it is a program MS got it wrong. And all of these options are freeware.
     
    If you choose to give it a try, download and save the MSE. Remove Norton and install MSE.

  • High CPU use/Slow Performance after you install the updates of Windows

    I run Vista Business 32-bit.

    After you install many Windows updates in the last few days, I've known very slow performance after the system worked for a while. Resource monitor shows 70-100% CPU usage, even when you run all the apps (that I know of). This makes everyhting grind to a halt, same trip that the mouse jerky movements. I ran several complete system with McAfee anti virus scans and not found problems (using the latest software). The detail showed the so-called ", PID4 NT kernel and system" using 18% avialable CPU capacity, but this process is not always shown to use much more capacity when the slow performance occurs. Nothing else don't use much capacity CPU, I see.

    More recently, the capacity of the CPU became crazy, jumping from zero to 100% usage in a back a suite oscillation. When I shut down and restart, performance improves, but erodes little by little over time.

    Is this a sign of a virus, or is it a problem with the recent Windows updates or some kind of conflict with my software such as McAfee? How do I tell me what to do? Anyone else have this problem with the recent Windows updates?

    Help!  Thank you!!

    McAfee applications (and Norton) are known for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.

    1. download the McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. now run this triple McAfee fix: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507

    NOTE: Step #2 McAfee fix run the removal tool, you have already downloaded in my step #1 above.

    4 IMPORTANT! => After the reinstallation of the McAfee application (step #3 of the McAfee fix), manually & repeatedly updated the McAfee application, until you get a prompt "no update more".

    5. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

    6. OPTIONAL: For good measure, pen also Internet Explore (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & race that secure it in DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

    7 restart a last time & test.
