• Why is Windows XP Professional slow to get on the desktop?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows XP and it takes a long time to start and join the office. When testing and restarting in safe mode with networking with the wireless connection, the computer is slow, but when I turn off the wireless connection, start in safe mode with networking is much faster.

  Thank you

  LD.

  Hello, LD,

  This question is considered, perhaps, if the PMKCache is loaded again when restarting. This was seen when you use Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP SP3. To work around this problem, you can disable the PMKCacheMode in the registry. To do this, follow the steps below:

  1. click on Start, run and type regedit.exe and then click OK

  2. navigate to the following registry key

  3 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EAPOL\Parameters\General\Global

  4. Click to select the key \Global

  5. browse the list on the list at PMKCacheMode

  6 double-click on PMKCacheMode, change the value data: 0, close the registry editor

  7 restart your computer

  This key specifies whether a Windows XP wireless client will perform PMK caching. By default, PMKCacheMode is enabled (set to 1).

  Hope this helps

• Why is-Windows Media Player slow at startup?

  When I run WMP window opens immediately, but it takes nearly 12 minutes to complete commissioning.  During most of this time, the CPU usage is 0%.  All applications starts almost instantly and WMP works fine, once it finally started upward.  The program itself is stored on a conventional disc SSD, while the music files on a hard drive and they total 871 mb.  My system is a processor i5 with 8 GB of RAM, running Windows 7, 64 bit.

  Why do you think it takes so long to start?

  Hi SimonRichards,

  ·         Did you the latest changes on the computer?

  Method 1.

  I would recommend you to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem is resolved.

  Here's how:

  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2.

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

  3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Method 3.

  I also suggest you to re-record the files related to Windows Media Player.

  To do this, follow the steps below:

  a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

  b. at the prompt type regsvr32 wmp.dll command and then press ENTER.

  Type regsvr32 jscript.dll, and then press enter

  Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll, and then press enter

  c. restart the computer and check if the problem is resolved.

  You can also try to turn on or to turn off Media Player.

• Why is windows 7 so slow to view associated compared to xp network devices and earlier?

  If you google, you'll see tons of people have a problem in the windows Explorer, which brings to the top of the list of the computers on the domain. It wasn't and issue prior to Vista and Windows 7. XP works fine and always has.

  I saw so many responses from microsoft for this and all the same. Update drivers, file cleanup, defrag your drive (what a joke). It seems that microsoft engineers pick the standard response in some wiki and post it.

  I have access to an area with hundreds of computers and actions. Boxes of windows 7 them browse at all. The only way to find one is to type in the UNC in the address bar and it find it instantly. XP machines to fill the browse list in a time very short, which allows you to click on them.

  Microsoft it has a problem that you dance around. There is a bug any windows Explorer 7.  We need a service pack or a hotfix, not a bunch of excuses.

• Why my windows keep freezing?

  Why my windows keep freezing? It's funny because it started to happen after I replied to a few things about illuminati on youtube. But after that, it kept saying error post comment. So I disconnected my account and connected to another one of my accounts, and he says the same thing, so I decided to restart my computer. As soon as he started upward, my request of palringo has started up, and he stopped to load my messages. Then the screen froze, I waited 5 minutes, then held the power button and turned it off, then power on. Done that 4 times more, then finally, it got to the point where the 6th time the only thing that was frozen was the taskbar at the bottom with the Start button and the basics of microsoft security date and time which not. in any case, I could use the rest of my computer, to the point that when I opened internet Explorer, it froze. 7th time... I had taken a break before I'm back and tried this time, and it was a weird breakup cause that is also a lot of things that never happened before, but it finally worked. But my volume control panel went 'again' and it is not picking up my card soundblaster, which idk if the driver went for her or what. But I would like to help with this and perhaps a reason why this happens. I didn't download anything since the last time I have shut down my computer, everything works fine every start until this afternoon when it happened with youtube. idk if it was a virus, hacker or what.

• Why my computer running so slow and why online games lag and freeze.

  Why my computer run so slow and why do games lag and freeze so often-

  Windows Vista 64-bit on the HP Pavilion DV2 laptop IE9

  Product NX926UA #ABA number

  Start the HP Support Assistant software. Click troubleshooting, and then select each of the options available, except the performance. Delete all Temp files and temporary internet browser files will help you.

  Follow the instructions on this tutorial at home to define your default virtual memory paging size. It's certainly worth a performance improvement you will notice. Don't let not Windows controls the size of your virtual memory paging file.

  Fill your online games can be for various reasons. The most likely reason if you use wireless 802. 11 b or G is the connection. If you have a 802.11n wireless router and the wireless in your laptop card is capable of 802.11n bandwidth and then use it without a doubt.

• Why is-Premiere Pro CS5 slower on my system than Premiere Pro CS 4?

  I just upgraded Production Premium CS4 Production Premium CS5.  Have Windows 7, 64 bit OS, 9 GB ram,

  Processors Intel quad I-7 (over clocked to 2.90 ghz) 2.67 with hyperthreading.  I have nothing of any real substance

  running on my system in addition to Adobe.  I've just loaded in a ton of DVC PRO HD 60 images and am editing 30 minutes

  program.  Once I am in Adobe first Pro CS 5, it works quite well, everything works well in real time.  However, the time

  I click away from Premiere Pro as on my desktop, then try to click back in the Premier Pro, my screen goes white, Premiere Pro says

  "do not answer" in the title bar and everything freezes for a solid minute.  4 CS do not at all.  Anyone know what is happening?

  Eddiem TKS.

  The goal is to help and solve problems for all parties involved so that we can all be more productive.

  I never said or implied at all this:

  To say there is no problem with CS 5 software is just ignorant happiness and to be honest, deteriorate distorted.

  So... I'll put this another way for you then.  I will not have any issues that you and Sacha face with P2 files in particular.

  They review they rank, export etc...

  I have an ongoing project that has 54 GB of mxf source files.  Not a question that sounds like something that you mentioned above.

  It's a lot of files or a large project... I don't know compared to your projects... but combined with mixed graphic files more seq TIFF and tgas, wavs more notice of AEFX... it certainly adds to the top in my system.

  My material is not super computer. This is not even a system RAIDed.

  Must report... I go really far, or, to and from something else that applications of the Adobe Suite in my Suite CS5 but often many of them are open at the same time.

  I had a system glitch that caused 'go a little sleepy' apps, when left UN attended.  It was an advanced power management framework. (some what hidden)

  I also have a NAS, but this isn't for editing where to.  IT has Media Junction in my configuration between suites for the file archive and transfer only.

  Re: Why is-Premiere Pro CS5 slower on my system than Premiere Pro CS 4?

  My experience is that I said previously.  CS5 is much faster than CS4.  I suspect that many others have a similar experience to mine.

  So the question you guys are seen as being a little more unique to yourself.

  Good luck

• Why not Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize w4a files in the library list more.

  I have Windows XP Pro (SP3) with Windows Media Player 11. I had a virus wipe my hard drive (everything has been updated) and after reinstalling and updating everything, it no longer recognizes the w4a files, but it automatically plays them the OMP 11 if I click on the file in Windows Explorer.

  Before the accident, all the files on my computer w4a was included in the library. Now the entire albums, as well as individual songs are missing. In fact, now NO w4a file is listed. So my question is, why does Windows Media Player 11 recognize the w4a files?

• Why doesn't my computer slow and down so often?

  Hello

  Why doesn't my computer slow and down so often?  I have quite a few red errors and yellow when I look where the Viewer, how can I get rid of them?  And also I have Norton installed on my PC Utillities, can this program to get rid of these errors?

  Take a look in the system and Application logs in the errors and warnings event viewer and post here the copies. Do not post on more than 48 hours ago.

  You can access event viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, and Event Viewer. When searching for the meaning of the error, information about the event ID, Source and Description are important.

  A tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. You will see a button resembling two pages. Click on the button and close Event Viewer. This places a copy of the report to your Clipboard. Paste it into the body of your message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

• Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

  Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

  The active x bar descends into the small window and freezes all windows open right there and will not respond. This happens when I open a new message and try to attach photos.

  Things I tried but has not made a difference:

  reinstalled IE 8, deleted the history of the browser, disk Cleanup, removed msn photo upload control, optimized IE8

  With xp media center

  PS. This occurs also at any time the information down to install an active x on any site control

  The only way to surf now with frustration is to use IE 8 NOT add optional

  So I fixed that on my own and that's how I did it.

  You must uninstall IE 8 completely which will bring you to IE 7 (in my case) and then install IE 8 via the site updates or microsoft.

  Uninstallin IE 8 by going to:

  Start--->

  Control Panel--->

  Add Remove programs--->

  Scroll down to IE 8--->

  Click on delete.

  IE8 updates must be removed also, if not then click the box 'To see the updates' on the top of the window to scroll down, look for the IE 8 security updates and delete.

  Resart your computer and install IE 8.

  This worked for me and may or may not work for you.

• Why did Windows using stealth tactics and install updates without permission or notice?

  Why did Windows using stealth tactics and install updates without permission or notice?
  It becomes a regular event, it also seems to restart in the middle of the night to set up these updates. I don't know what the intention but
  [Vista 32 bit] I returned this intrusion in the files to my PC and I always despise microsoft to decide to act like a pirate.  I'll give microsoft some time to answer this, but I expect to be as horrible as they are usually with the customer service.   So in a few weeks, I'll start to smear the name of microsoft as much as possible and sway anyone my possible to buy non-Microsoft products.

  If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

  You can change the AU for the "updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting. Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded, the updates are installed and where they are installed.

  I prefer "check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting.

• Please can someone explain why the windows Installer keeps appearing when nothing is installed? Any way to stop this?

  Why the Windows Installer keep popping up, either on a web page or an e-mail to the office when nothing is installed.  No way to stop that... ?

  The desktop of your computer, click on the tab "Start", usually located at the bottom left of the screen (on Vista, it's maybe the windows symbol instead of the word 'Start').

  Now, find and click on the program title 'run '. Vista users can locate this program by typing "run" in the area of research at the bottom of the menu 'start '.

  Once you open 'Run', type 'MSCONFIG' in the empty box and click 'OK '. This will open the System Configuration utility.

  With the open System Configuration utility, select the tab "Services".

  Scroll down the list of services (it may be advantageous to click on the 'service' column to sort the services by alphabetical order) until you find the program "Windows Installer".

  Now, click on the checkbox next to the name of the Windows Installer and click on the button 'Disable' at the bottom of the Configuration of the system.
