Turning on and turning off T61 takes about 5 minutes for each.

I have a CTO of 6465 t61 and it is extremely slow when I power upward or turned off. It takes 5 good minutes each way. I have always run my norton anti-virus, defragment and clean temporary files, etc.. Can someone suggest a solution.

Thank you

Thanks that did the trick.

    Hello

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities. From your problem description, I understand that you are facing problems when the computer starts.

    1. what operating system is installed on the computer?

    Please go ahead and follow the steps mentioned and later a update on the State of the question.

    Method 1: Check if the problem is caused by some faulty devices on your computer. I suggest that you disconnect all external devices except the mouse and keyboard to your computer and check to see if the same problem happens.

    Method 2: Try to run the troubleshooter of Performance:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-performance-Troubleshooter

    Method 3: Try to boot in safe mode and check if the same problem occurs.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    (For Windows Vista)

    Method 4: If the question does not exist in Mode safe mode then try to set up your computer in a clean boot state, and check to see if the same problem happens.

  • Somehow my new Apple TV 4 causes my Panasonic Plasma TV turns off every 30 to 60 minutes.

    Somehow my new Apple TV 4 causes my Panasonic Plasma TV turns off every 30 to 60 minutes. I thought for sure I had capacitor problems with my TV (he is about five years old) but my wife suggested to check our new ATV4 because the problem started just after Christmas when we got the new ATV4 and the problem occurs with our ATV3. I was skeptical but I have tried to unplug the power cord on the ATV4 and to my surprise the TV cutting question disappeared, so I have to have my ATV4 unplugged when not in use and plug it in when I want to use it, a real pain in the *. If accidentally, I forgot to unplug my ATV4 after using my TV stops every 30 to 60 minutes after my ATV4 is connected and not in use. I'm at a complete loss as to what is causing this problem. For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

    ATV turns off after a certain period of time in the settings: http://help.apple.com/appletv/#/atvb7a7550e3

    The ATV also has the ability to control the power of the TV via the HDMI cable, if the value.

    I will try to put the ATV to sleep immediately after use, as explained above and see if the TV turns off then.

    If so, go into the settings, remote controls and disable control of your home with remote control entertainment system and see if only he stops.

    When the TV turns off, it is on the entry of Apple TV and the screen saver or you look at another entrance, for example, a cable?

  • Screen ACL in Windows 7 towers / turns off in 1 or 2 minutes on its own

    Strange problem started recently. My computer laptop LCD screen turns off in 1 or 2 minutes on its own even to power cable. I checked and have already reset all power plans, but the screen seems to stop on its own. I was not able to understand the problem.

    Also changes to the power management has no effect on this behavior. For example if I increase the delay before the screen stops at 10 minutes (with or without battery) it always closes the screen in 1 or 2 minutes

    Hi Varun,

    ·        This happens to you while you use a particular program or are the random problem?

    I think it is a hardware problem and you may need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for further assistance.

    In addition, uninstall any software of management of power given by the manufacturer and check.

    Uninstall or change a program

    Hello

    My satellite phone is really slow and takes about 10 minutes to open a session. It also takes awhile to open up applications in particular the internet. Once the internet is open, it takes a while to access the net. The application actually drags across from the scene and it looks like a curtain closing additional idling.

    Hello

    Have you checked the CPU usage rate?
    Start the Task Manager and check if any strange background process needs the full CPU performance.

    I also recommend to check the laptop for some viruses and malware. These programs could make the laptop and the lazy BONE.

    However the portable equipment could bad work.
    You should check the memory using the Memtest86 program. It s freeware. Check the HARD drive for bad sectors and also try to defragment the HARD drive!

  • You try to transfer data to new computer, takes about 30 minutes to collect data, and then told me that it will take 33 + hours of transfer

    I have 2 PC, two 40 g X 2 g, an old score about 12 GB of data, 71% free, new is ready to receive. When I make the connection with a null cable and start, it takes about 30 minutes to put together and start the transfer, but it gives a transfer time of 33 + hrs and that means, I let it run for about 6 hours, and he was always less than 6% of fact. No games or large, larger files is about 12 MB. Any help? Bob

    If cable "null", you hear a serial RS-232 cable, you probably chose the slowest method of data transfer possible.  A serial cable tops out at raw data of 115 Kbps (115 000 bits per second) rate the most current Ethernet 100 Mbit/s connection - is about 1000 times faster.

    I don't know why some s/w you use takes 30 minutes to "collect" information before starting the transfer, but if you have about 12 GB of data (and don't have / want an Ethernet connection), why not just get a big enough USB.  You can get a 8 GB USB key for less than $15 and a 16 GB for about $20.  If you have USB 2.0 (which is likely, unless your old computer is older than 10 years), the maximum raw data rate is 480 Mbps with rates effective data around 20-30 MB/s for the memory sticks.

    At 20 MB/s, 12 GB should be transferred in about 600 seconds or 10 minutes.

    There is no software hogging the system because I've been surfing or play media files.
    Is due to the fact that it has only 192 MB of ram, because I thought the upgrade anyway. Or I am barking the wrong tree?

    See you soon

    Hello

    I agree with Jonathan

    A little more RAM can be very good, and it can make your device faster and more flexible. I recommend you to check all active running process. Generally, many of them is absolutely useless, but they can slow down the system quickly especially if the device does not have a lot of RAM.

    I recommend clean up the operating system, use the Defragmenter tool and check applications that start with Windows. Many of them may be disabled. Enforcement antivir may also slow the operating system currently running. Check all this. I hope that your device will work better.

    By the way: the compatible memory module for your device are
    DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)

    Good luck!

  • Startup takes about 5 minutes to complete to start on my HP laptop.

    Desktop loads upwards just fine, fast, straight bar tool with the exception of the Wi Fi Connected icon, it takes about 5 minutes to appear, this time on that hard drive lite is a little hard. If you tap the icon on the tool bar network bars she says you are connected. If you try to open something out of the Office during that time, he just sits there watching waiting for you to start to complete. Once starting over thing work fine, that too, if you plug in a USB key during the startup time (5 minutes), you hear the sound that you always hear when you plug one but it doesn't appear in Windows Explorer until after 5 minutes of waiting. I did a system restore to a moment where it was sunny and that did not help. I ran a defrag on the C drive, I ran a disk check, with no errors found. I look in the task during this time Manager, and you see no programs running. I run Malwarebytes and Super Anti Spyware and nothing detected. Can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

    I understand that the process of starting your computer is slow. Let me ask you a few questions to better understand.

    1. What security software do you use?
    2. You did it all meaning hardware or software change?
    3. You get the error message? If Yes, when and what is the exact error message?

    I suggest that you perform a clean boot procedure, and then try to install the add-in.
     
    See the link to perform the clean boot.

    Method 1: How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us

    Important: Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    Note: See " " How to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting "to prepare the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting. "

    Method 3: Optimize Windows performance

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/optimize-Windows-better-performance#optimize-Windows-better-performance=Windows-7

    Note: Data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

    Note: When running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area so all available data on this risk be lost.

    Method 4: You can use the provided patch below it article and check if that helps to solve some problems.

  • Roxio takes about 190 minutes to compress my dvd for burning, is this normal?

    Time to compress the video

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron N4110 Win7 professional.  The laptop uses a dual-core Intel Pentium B940 / processor dual thread clocked at 2 GHz with 4 GB RAM and 200 GB of free space on the hard disk.  I am recording video analog (NTSC) and stereo audio to aid Easy VHS of Roxio hardware to DVD / software package.  Video is scanned in real time by the A/D converter.  A 100-minute VHS video produced a mpg of 6.13 GB hard disk file.  The compression process of Roxio to shrink the file to mpg of 6.13 GB less than 4.7 GB for recording on a DVD + R single takes about 190 minutes.  Is it a normal time for my laptop?  Are there other programs of compression that would be much faster?    Would be a better laptop with an Intel quad core / 8 processor i7-2860QM thread and 8 GB of RAM to reduce the significant period of time compression, for example less than 60 minutes?

    DVD-video is encoded more time-based
    as the size of the file. Compression is not necessary.

    A video file of 100 minutes should fit on a 4.7 GB DVD.

  • The Print Test takes about 15 minutes to complete.

    I have the same problem with a D1520. I went through all the self-help and the Test print. The Print Test takes about 15 minutes to complete.

    This is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges.  Remove the black print cartridge and print a test page.  The printer prints at a normal speed?  Is therefore the black cartridge was the issue and needs to be replaced.  If it isn't then, put the black back cartridge in and remove the color cartridge and the test page printed.  If the printer now prints speed the color cartridge is responsible and must be replaced.
