Windos XP and Internet Explorer runs slow after turning to...

I really hope that someone can help me that the Forums have proved useful to me in the past.  This is my last issue.

One of my parents, for reasons that I won't, get updated his cable, phone and internet in one of these beams that offers local, rather than paying for phone company each separately.  She has an office of older model PC that runs Windows XP and worked it, Office 2003 (if the memories are good) and Internet Explorer (I mean IE8) very well and quickly.

After its upgrade of the high-speed line was complete one of the first things I did was to go to Microsoft to download a bunch of updates as it had been on dial until it was impossible to download everything that she needed (she had not kept with it but also rarely used the computer to get on the net so it was not that big a deal).  All XP downloaded approximately 77 updates and after a while successfully installed all of them.  He then restarted and soon after started incredibly slow operation.

Because it runs more slowly now that when she was on the dial upwards, she is ready to get rid of its highspeed which I said.  I think that one or more of 77 more updates, I installed may have done something.  Also his internet browser now looks like my laptop (Acer with Vista and IE 9) so I think that maybe his version of XP and IE do not play nice with them.  Finally something told me she had a Trojan horse, and some adware that I used Lavasoft to get rid of and their last free version is installed with moy.

Any help would be appreciated to untangle what is causing his PC suddenly run slow.  I'm tempted to use a restore point and go back, but I'm not sure how to go (and really, I've never used a prior restore point).  I'm half tempted to simply restore the entire hard drive but would have a copy of XP (I don't have a copy of Windows 98 that I some how came in possession of CD).

Help, please!

    There is not a way to uninstall Internet Explorer 7 I know.
    Is there an error message that you can post on this forum?

    What happens when you try to update?

    I suggest to use the System File Checker to search for missing and corrupt files that can cause the problem.

    The tool File Checker system to determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search .
    2. Right-click cmd in the programs list and then click run as administrator .

      If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue

  • I have 28 of Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 running on a Windows XP, I can "desensivise" the copy mode?

    I have 28 Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 running on Windows XP
    I'm compiling a list of www.thegazette.co.uk
    Sometimes the Explorer is slow, very slow, take up to five minutes to move from one page to another, but I can copy and paste paragraphs of her.
    Firefox is fast but splits a paragraph into small sections (sometimes a letter) and each of them as simple features pasta in Notebook or Word. I am so in five minutes a page after I reassembled things.
    My current compromise is looking in Firefox, then load the address of the page in Explorer solutions for the treatment of the paragraph.
    I can "desensivise" the method of copy of Firefox?

    I have the same problem when I try to copy the text, but all copies fine if I download the PDF file and open it with Adobe Acrobat/Adobe Reader. Try this if none of the cor - el or jscher2000 PDF viewers proposed work.

    To do this there is a button at the top of the image that the document is in (it looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow above). Click here and you will be prompted to open the PDF file or save it. You can then choose to open it with Adobe Acrobat/Reader or save it in your file downloads, in which case you can open it by clicking the download button (the arrow at the top right of the default browser window) and select it from the menu. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat or Adobe reader, you can download Adobe Reader here.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • Firewall issue 314 and Internet Explorer

    I had problems to use my internet browsers from 2 days.  First, it started with Firefox AND Internet Explorer does not.  It would come just to the top with a page saying "connection timed out" so that my internet and router are both operating correctly.  My roommate's computer connects fine and both of our phones. I have internet hy plugged directly into the computer, but also a WiFi connection that both said were connected. When I went to diagnose the problem through the computer, he told me '314 firewall problem' but didn't tell me how to fix it or provide solutions outside the base "call someone else" which tends to be the solution to all my problems windows.  I did a bit of reading with my phone's internet and someone suggested to use CCleaner.  I have Firefox running again.  However, none of my games on the internet will connect and Internet explorer is still having the same problem.  I tried unplugging everything and restarting all 4 or 5 times.  I tried to open port 80.  None of this does not work so far.

    I have a series under Windows 7 Home Premium HP p6000 office.  Any help would be great (and I am not a geek at ALL, so simplified responses are greatly appreciated!) Thank you.

    I found a solution on a forum who helped me finally!  I will post it here in case anyone else has this problem as well: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-109092-internet-explorer-blocked-by-firewall

    I opened Internet Explorer go to tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > then clicked on the "Reset" touch everything downstairs and it completely resets the browser to its origin (removal of passwords and personal settings) settings.  Then I rebooted it and it loads the homepage! It's a relief that this pain in the thigh is over.

  • ThinApp several version of Internet Explorer running with IE 9 native

    Hello, it's me again with questions about ThinApp.

    So I thinapp-ed IE 6, 7, 8.  We currently have IE 9 running in our Windows 7, 64-bit box.  I understand about ThinDirect, how can I have some links opening in some version of IE.
    We have developers and webmasters who constantly need to test applications and sites in all versions of Internet Explorer.  So, the idea of multiple IE running on their desktop is very exciting for them.
    All IE 6, 7 and 8 are fine thinapp.  But, we noticed a small problem.  If a user just finished using wound up IE 6, 7 or 8, then they open a link from Outlook or any other place (during this time, no IE are open).  The link is open in whatever the last thinapp-ed IE they used, not with their native IE 9.
    I made sure that all the IE thin-app are not CHECKED with "say if Internet Explorer is not the web browser default."  Only the native IE9 has this option checked.
    If the user opens up IE 9 and the press are lacking and that the default web browser check, everything opens in IE 9 again until they run the other thinapp new IE.
    So, I want users to run their IE 9 as their default browser how thinapp IE whether or not they have running.  And I don't want any other IE to check and see if they are the browser by default every time that they have first begin to run.
    I can do to fix that?

    Hello

    I understand ThinDirect, how can I have some links opening in some version of IE?

    You should make a thinapp of each of the IE version and while thinapp each version you must specify the links that should be opened in this specific browser.

    An example lets take IE 7 and allows you to make the assumption that the www.sevencycles.com must only be opened in IE 7 on the deploymet machine.

    Capture procedure:

    1. On a clean XP machine to perform a Prescan.
    2. Perform an upgrade from IE 6 to IE 7 only. No updates of windows.
    3. Make postscan and capture normally until you reach page statistical quality "collection."
    4. The page following this is the redirection of the browser page. Here, change the it be redirected URL www.sevencycles.com.
    5. To proceed with the default options until you build the thinapp of EI or complete the thinapp process.

    Deployment procedure.

    1. Copy the bin folder or the Internet Explorer.exe of IE7 thinapped on machine/Win 7 64 vbit machine deployment. Lets assume that the ferry of Internet explorer 7 is in c:\bin.
    2. Mount / copy the content of the VMware ThinApp on the deployment computer.
    3. Perform a thinreg thinapped Internet explore as > thinreg.exe /a c:\bin\Internet explorer.exe.

    Audit:

    1. Post thinreg check the contents of c:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware ThinApp\Thindirect it must contain the names of the packaging of each of the browser thinapped .txt files. You'll 7.txt Windows Internet Explorer. Open and check if the redirect is for www.Sevencycles.com and the location of the internet explorer 7 is OK.
    2. Check if the thindirect in tools-> Addons plugin run on Internet Explorer 9.

    Are we on the same page so far?

    Now come to the script in hand, I checked with the two browsers. IE 6 and IE 7 on Win 7 64.

    • Thindirection of IE6 was www.nbs.com/sixers and IE7 in www.sevencycles.com
    • Copied on the exe of thinapped to the deployment machine and did a thinreg of VirtIE6.exe and Internet explorer.exe (Version 7).
    • Therefore, the contents of the c:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware ThinApp\ThinDirect would be 2 VirtIE6.txt text files and 7.txt Windows Internet Explorer.
    • Launched the native IE 9 and the URL entered as www.nba.com/sixers; He launched the URL in IE 6 and IE 9 closing.
    • Closed-IE 6.
    • Yet once launched IE 9 and set the URL of the browser www.sevencycles.com and supported on entry.
    • IE 7 was launched with the URL the value www.sevencycles.com and IE 9 has closed.
    • Private IE 7.
    • Launched thinapped Excel 2003.
    • In a given cell type www.yahoo.com and then clicked on it. He opened a www.yahoo.com in IE 9 in accordance with your expectations.

    I had the wrong scenario that you mentioned. Are there any changes that you suggest me to do in the test?
