Win7 for indexing very very slow

• Photoshop CS3 for Windows very slow

  I use Photoshop CS3 on a Windows Vista Help. He got a quick bicoeur processor. In the last couple months Photoshop started to run so slowly that it is virtually unusable. I have reset the preferences again. I brought up the RAM in the PC from 2 GB to 4, and offered no relief. I allocated more RAM to Photoshop. Nothing did.

  I reached a breaking point today and spent a whole day of troubleshooting. I have concluded that it is a problem with the installation of Photoshop, asking way too much space to work. For example, when I open a 2.5meg file on this computer, it requires 3.6 GB of disk space to work. When I opened the same exact file on another machine, you must only 95 megs of disk space to work. I more than 4 GB of available disk space for the use of disk work on the affected machine, but the fact that it is done all this reading and writing to a disk hard kill the performance of the application.

  Of course, there is a problem with the installation of the software. I tried to reinstall, and it does not help.

  I called Adobe tech support line, and they don't touch this questions. They wanted me $39 to even hear what the problem was and said that they were not sure they could solve any problem - load especially one like that - after accepting the payment. (So, why would I give them a credit card number?) They suggested I post here instead. (Uh, great support strategy, huh?) I'm a little frustrated, if you can't tell...)

  OK, so off the complainant now. Ideas for what I can do - short clamping this PC and buy a new one to reinstall on?

  Yet one thing I might add that could lead a thought for someone. When I launch Photoshop, the boot process hangs for about 2 minutes on the stage where the application is 'reading preferences.'

  I assume that already reset you your preferences as described in the FAQ.  http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/375776?TSTART=0

  You must physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if you use the Alt, Ctrl, and shift, don't forget you get a confirmation dialog box.

  This resets all settings in Photoshop default.

  Another source of slowness can be no local printers or on the "recent" list files that are on the network drives.

• very slow file read/copy of WinXP to Win7

  I have two PCs, it is WInXP, one is Win7.  On Win7, I produce read/copy of WinXP to Win7, it is very slow, about 10% of the 100 Mbps network (as indicated by the Task Manager and the status of file copy).  However, if I do the copy of file for WinXP to Win7, it is very fast, about 90% of the 100 Mbps.

  It is using windows file sharing.

  Why is this?

  Please note that all operations are done on the Win7 PC, I have not tried to do it on PC WinXP again.  There are a few problems with Windows XP, access to the share on the Win7 PC (which can access any other PC Win7).  But it is not so important.

  I do regular files between WinXP PC at work, they are typically 50% of 100 Mbps.

  Thank you.

• Installation of printer on windows 7 64 bit very slow drivers

  Hello

  I tried to install printer drivers on all our systems to 64-bit windows 7 and it takes a lot of time for the drivers to install.  The time it takes to be installed varies from 5 minutes to several hours.  The latest downloaded drivers from the manufacture of the printer, but its seems to winodws 7 64-bit takes a long time to install the drivers.  Anyone have a similar question?  Any available explanation for these very slow install?  All responses will be appreciated.

• Very slow Win7 start menu search

  I have win7 Professional 64-bit, and the search for the start menu is now very slow.

  It used to be instant, but now it takes a good 10 seconds to return results. The results are accurate, just very slow. When searching the process explorer.exe maxes a CPU for the duration of the search until the results are returned - it's almost as if the search on the start menu is not using indexing service, but rather the search for all the files using a conventional search.

  I have rebuilt the index several times and it had no effect.

  I checked options of indexing and 'users' and 'Start menu' folder are included in the index.

  I ran to the resolution of the problems of indexing, and found no problem.

  Interestingly, if I search also using Explorer it works very well - results are returned quickly and simply from the start menu, almost instantly-it research that the problem occurs.

  An interesting observation:

  When I turn off "Hide protected operating system files" research flies along.

  If I allow it so it hides the files it runes very very slow.

  Update: more survey shows that even a whole new user profile suffers the same symptoms. As soon as you hide protected operating system files analysis research on the navigation bar (as if it's a manual route). Show protected files and it's instantaneous.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Satellite A300D PSAKCC very slow for no reason

  System: Toshiba A300D (PSAKCC - 01300Y)
  OS: Vista 64-bit, SP2
  (Everything is factory)

  Hi, I got home Wednesday night from work and my computer was VERY slow. It also blocks no foreseeable reason since and I also noticed IO errors when you try to back up some audio files on my external.
  * Example: * "error 0x8007045D: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error." (when you try to move a specific .wav file)

  In addition, a new symptom that recently and currently makes himself aware for me is: when typing this thread the guest moves randomly at unpredictable times, usually with the result of finishing or from a word in an unwanted random location in the message. Hard to explain, really, but I thought I would include, because it is extremely annoying and seems so virus-ey. Sounds to me like a program, it's stealing priority; my friend think it is Windows Update.

  About 8 hours before this activity slow/hanging (before I leave for work), it was working fine, but I noticed
  localized only in Google maps as suspended similar activity.

  * What I've done so far: *.
  -back up important files on my external
  -run process Explorer and verified using CPU, RAM and i/o to find nothing extraordinary (low cpu, use of the normal RAM, low use of e/s)
  -made a virus using Microsoft Security Essentials scan

  I'm at a loss as to what I can do at this point; It is unbearably slow... I can't use internet at least that I'm in the safe
  mode, that is, I can't use my video or audio devices... =)
  Funny is the 3 year warranty I got away it just expired, so if it's a failing hard drive, Future Shop has done a good job of prediction of the obsolescence... jerks.

  Hi mate

  It of difficult to say what might cause this exactly.
  I searched on similar questions on Microsoft Knowledge base page and found this interesting doc:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/952272
  It has exactly the same symptom described: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error (0x8007045D)

  It s required to run the command Chkdsk X: /R
  In this command, x is a placeholder that represents the drive letter of the volume you want to check. So if you want to check the partition or HARD drive then replace X by the letter of the partition or HARD drive.

  I also recommend to check the HARD drive using 3rd party tool called: Drive Fitness Test.
  You can download for free.

  Run and check the might of HARD drive, it must be replaced.

• After update for HP UPD PCL 5 on the network drivers, local printers now very slow printing

  I've recently updated the HP Universal Print Driver PCL 5 on my Windows 2008 R2 file and print server.  All printers on network HP 5 now show the new driver of the UPD PCL 5, and 5 all seems to work fine from all clients on the attached network.

  However, as soon as I had updated the drivers from server, anyone with a printer connected locally HP began to test response times very slow when trying to print jobs to their local printer or even bring up the properties of the local printer.  I think that it is because local printers also use the HP UPD PCL5 driver, and something "broke" when I updated the driver on the server.   If the local printer is set as default, trying to make it appear a Properties dialog box takes several seconds (before it was instant), and clicking PRINT in any application results in a noticeable delay for the print dialog box to appear, followed by another notable delay (as in 10-20 seconds) before work is treated and control the application returned ot the user.  The printer takes then to another a few seconds to process work.  Essentially print jobs local just went from 5 seconds to 30 seconds or more for each task to start to print more.  This is unacceptable.

  I tried to remove all printers on network among the PC client, and then deleting the local printer as well.  I restarted, then used the install.exe HP UPD PCL 5 to start the installation on the local computer, choosing to do an installation of USB.  I turned on the printer local return and it has been recognized and loaded the new HP UPD PCL5 driver, but the problem persists.

  So after messing around with this more yesterday I think I narrowed down it to a port number.  It seems that when computers with local printers connected downloaded the new UPD PCL 5 form the network (updated their drivers for network printer), he reconfigured the USB port for each printer connected locally.  The USB port on the local printer will now appear as "DOT4 generic IEEE 1284.4 support printing", while before I'm pretty sure he showed as "DOT4 HP Laserjet one."   This white paper (which is unfortunately for Windows XP) appears to support the hypothesis that the port has changed and that the generic port is much slower (this is what we see now with local printers).  White paper on the issue of generic DOT4 port

  I tried to delete all printers that use the UPD from a local system and then using the install.exe form the UPD package to install the local printer as a USB printer (disconnection of the latter before installation and then in reconnecting it when you are prompted by Setup), still the same generic port is re-created.  How can I change the generic port to a specific port HP driver for printers normally respond again?

  Furthermore, I opened a ticket with the help of HP on the issue Monday afternoon, it is now Wednesday morning and the only response I received was a request to make sure that my cables were not more than 6' long.  Seriously HP support?

  My best guess is that you do not use the name of specific driver to the version on the print server.   Driver version-specific name will look like "HP Universal printing PCL6 (v5.9.0).   Non-specific to the version name will look like "HP Universal PCL6 print.

  When you work with print servers, it is recommended to use the name of the version-specifc driver.   I think what happened here are that the driver has been updated on the server, and this update was then pushed to clients through point and print because the pilots names.

  You have indicated that you are using the PCL5 driver.   In a general office print PCL6 offers the best combination of performance and print quality.   I recommend you go to PCL6 immediately, unless your devices or custom applications/solutions are not compatible with PCL6.  (This is very rare)

  If it were my system, here's what I'd do.

  1. Download UPD PCL6 5.9.0 and PARK of www.hp.com/go/upd
  2. Install the UPD PCL6 5.9.0 on my print server using the name specific to the version - create a temporary queue.
  3. Run AutoUpgradeUPD.exe from the PARK to remove queues existing impression on my print server and re-create them with the PCL6 driver.   (See http://youtu.be/mYCVx1RBp9w for more information on this utility)
  4. Remove the temporary queue
  5. On my clients, I would remove the existing printer USB connections.
  6. Run the UPD PCL6 5.9.0 installer and select the USB - Plug and Play mode and make sure that both check boxes are enabled.
  7. Re-connect local printers.

  Something else I could try to implement PRNCON of the PARK on each client.    It will be delete and re-create the connections to printer to the print server.    This can be run without command-line switches, but I like to use the '-2000 w' command to force a second 2 the delay between the removal of the printer connection and recreate.

  In a last time, I'll make sure to remove any old/unused drivers from the print server.

• 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"...
