The 'My Computer' is slow to/or/not will not respond.

When I click on the 'My Computer' icon, the program is very slow to respond.  Then when I click on a folder to dig another level, more of the same.
Sometimes, it crashes completely and 10-15 minutes later - still nothing.  Sometimes I have to do the old ctl + alt + delete and stop the program "my computer", and then it restarts again.   Still slow.
I ran my anti-virus, my anti-spyware, my anti-spam and my anti-spybot programs as well as the old good Defrag.  All to nothing does not-still the same problem.
Help or ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Since you feel that your computer is clean, turn to the material. The hard drive can be in PIO Mode. It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information - http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

Or hard drive (or other components) can be at fault.

    Yesterday, my ethernet cable pulled out my cell phone and I couldn't connect to the internet more. But on my desktop PC, it works perfectly fine. (I do not use wifi, if this information is also required) I have studied several threads with similar situations, and I have tried different methods to solve the problem to no avail. I did a system restore, but I'm having no luck. Also, I did not of the latest changes with my anti virus software and my LAN card drivers look to date.

    When I remove my cable from the laptop and again connect my cable then it works but only after the PC sat for awhile.
    1.I did flush DNS by typing "ipconfig/flushdns" in the command prompt.

    According to my knowledge, 2 of my PC are infected and the virus are not getting detected by bitdefender on my PC1 but 4 threats have been detected on the laptop...
    The same files are include the other way on my other pc.
    Whenever I open the files, save option opens and a new file is saved with the file tha but they never get to open in word or powerpoint, only the backup option is displayed.
    The original files are protected by copyright and are lost. PL help me if possible to retrieve and delete all the files once the inspection is completed. You can forward this message to any authorized person.
    Attached files have changed to 1 or 2 k, but there was initially datas in a few MBs.
    201310131003535. I mentioned that somewhere I had formatted the USB key. Just before that, I had copied all files by selecting CTRL A and cut all the files in a directory on my PC. Then I opened the USB and no files were there. But always around 4 GB has been shown as being busy on the USB stick before formatting.
    My pc takes too long to restart, I tried a few 3 - 4 times and no updates have been installed or waiting to install after the 2nd time but when even he took more time than usual to restart and is compared to the other pc taking 2 X the time to restart, but two of them have installed bitdefender. Problem in my laptop toshiba, not pc lenovo, space time with more than 50 percent on the disk processor and Atom c.
    The files on my USB key are automatically replaced by shortcuts and so files open in a new tab and new cases opened are not those of origin who have been saved by me in this matter. Yet once I formatted and scanned, files, pc and USB but still facing the same USB key.
    Problems-
    1. all files are automatically displayed as shortcuts, even if I had pasted the original file
    2. once I click on open, I get an error and then after clicking on ok, some files get opened
    Before sending the email, I had formatted the USB scanned files on my HARD drive and then copied on the USB. The same problem persists. I think that when the files are displayed or open, the virus does something and change his behavior wrongly.
    1 bitdefender watch as new bitdefender is available, I click ok and repair wire starts and then it tells the system to restart.this cycle continues on the race

    2. 2 files are missing (attachment)
    3. could you send me the file by e-mail?  You can also download the link below.

  • HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276n slow or does not respond after sleep/wake

    Hi all

    Bought a printer HP Laserjet M276n colorMFP 200. Set up the printer and it's printing of windows and mac computers (also via the local area network (wireless) and even the iPad and iPhone) and scan directly to the pc and mac. Also configured the network folder scan function. Works like charm.

    But... When I try to do something after the machine is in "standby mode" everything goes wrong.

    1 - printing takes longer path to front.

    2 - operation of the toutchscreen (for scanning to network folders, or to photocopy anything) is not feasible. If the machine says it takes about 10 to 15 seconds per order. Sometimes the machine does not respond.

    3 - wireless devices sometimes have trouble with the connection to the device.

    4 - access to the machine via the web interface content (yet) is slower, if not impossible.

    When I manually reboot the printer (using the power button) the machine works fine again.

    But I can't immagine what how HP intends to use the machine.

    Anyone know how to solve this problem, or if it could be a configuration error during my dissertation?

    Also is it possible to disable the sleep mode at all?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

  • How can I update the UI without encountering a ' Application is not responding do not; completed process '?

    I'm trying to populate a table on the screen, and when the user clicks a Labelfield (20 lines are populated by click).

    When the user clicks the labelfield, following takes place:

    (1) a data segment is read from the SQLite database in a background thread.

    (2) data are then filled in the existing table on the screen (by adding more fields to the Table Layout Manager) in the invokeLater() method.

    I am currently facing a problem of ' Application is not responding do not; process is completed ' when I continue to load more items to say about 3 to 4 times (i.e. After about 60 to 80 lines are met).

    I fear that this could be caused by the user interface thread get resisted for a long time, while the population takes place. Is there another way to update the user interface, so that the application runs smoothly?

    I'd appreciate any help that I had with this problem for some time.

    You must use another thread to query the database and then creating and filling in the fields. After the creation of fields use the Manager.addAll () method to add an array of fields (in invokeLater() body of course).

  • I am fully connected to the Internet, but my DNS server is not responding. How can I connect otherwise?

    I am fully connected to the Internet, but when I click on my home page and even several other pages, including Windows Live Mail, I get an error message that my DNS server is not responding. How can I work around this problem and to connect to the Internet anyway?

    You want to be sure that you use the right setting for your DNS server.  You can move this in your browser using the digital URL for the what you want to access web sites.  You will find them by using the PING command at the command prompt.  Hold the Windows key and press R.  Then type CMD and press ENTER.  Then enter for example to get the address of the web site of MS PING WWW.MICROSOFT.COM.

    Unless otherwise directed by your Internet service provider, you want TCP/IP settings to "obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically".  To do this click Start-> Control Panel-> Network Center and sharing-> view status.

    Then click on properties.

    From there, click on Internet Version 6 Protocol and properties.

    Click on the two radio buttons to "obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically".  Click OK.

    Then click Internet Version 4 Protocol and make the same changes in what concerns the version 6.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

    Hello

    You will have to provide much more information to help. Some questions are:

    (1) what you were doing when the computer crashed? What programs have been opened? Running?

    (2) you online were at the time? Had recently downloaded anything? You have applications antivirus and anti-malware on your computer? Have you run analyses with these programs? If so, what was done and what show?

    (3) what do you mean exactly by "inadmissible"? You can do something, or is it just sit there doing nothing? When you say 'slow start', which is just an impression or you timed? If you have timed the start, what are the gaps of time?

    (4) depth OS and little do you have? How much RAM do you have? What and how many programs you load at startup?

    This is the starting point to determine what might happen. There may be more questions that need to ask, but until you have answered these questions, there is little I can do to help you.
