• Windows Vista Ultimate EXTREMELY slow

  OK, so I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my computer, I like it, but it is extremely slow.

  The shape of plug the computer are as follows:

  AMD Sempion 1.64 Ghz processor

  480 MB of RAM

  HDD 40 gig

  This should be enough to start. I wonder how can I speed up a bit I've run Diskcheck and defrag and Dick Clean-up with very little progress. Just don't have the money for the extra RAM right now either so if there is a way to speed it up without buying extra RAM, I would like to know.

  It's no surprise that it is extremely slow. You have * way * too little
  RAM and you will never get a decent performance with this amount. 1 GB
  is the minimum necessary for performance * beginning * become
  acceptable for people whose needs are very light (because their)
  using the application is light). But for almost everyone, is at least 2 GB
  really need or that you are satisfied with the performance.
   
  In addition, a 40 GB hard drive is * small *. This isn't a performance problem,
  but unless you do not do much with your computer, you will be running
  more disk space very soon. You should have at least 160 GB or more.

• Windows 7 is extremely slow to return to the screen saver mode.

  I installed upgrading Windows 7 on my computer and everything is fine.  However, when the system is idle and past in mode screensaver (with or without a password), the return of the screen saver mode are extremely slow (just a white screen).  It is sometimes quick, sometimes it comes back in 3-4 minutes, but most of the time it takes a long time.

  The system is a low end, but more than enough to manage w7.  It consist of:
  Pentium dual core (2140)
  2 gig memory
  NVIDIA 7300GT 256M

  I tried to delete the zone alarm security suite, does not solve the problem
  thought it was the HP 2610 print software, removed and still happens.
  update the bios (MSI p4m900)

  can someone figure this.  Is there something that prevents him to return to the desktop.

  Note that, I try to reboot from the blank screen by pressing the windows, right arrow, return.  But I think also, it does not address key strokes.

  THX

  I found a way to fix it! I did this:

  1. Press win + r and run msconfig. Go to tools and brand to troubleshoot the computer, and then click Start.

  2. then go to system and security and press electricityballance (not sure of the name in English because I have a Norwegian version..).

  3. restart your computer.

  4. my screen saver was not afterwards, but I gave it to display photos and now it works perfectly!

  When I checked the general tab afterwards, it did not have the checkbox to use the... start (a last..) one has been verified and the second has a blue full mark.

• Windows Live Mail extremely slow

  Read your own posts, but they offer no concrete solution.

  Windows Live Mail is extremely slow on all actions, such as selection, type, transmission, reception, everything, to the point where it is impractical and unusable.

  I have a brand new HP Elite, Windows Vista Home Premium x 64, to this day, virus scanned, etc.. All programs work well, including Windows Mail. But Windows Live Mail service is really too slow to be of any use.

  I have not agreed to update to IE8 because of many problems posted with it, that's why I continue to use IE7.

  Is there a real fix to the extremely slow problem Windows Live Mail? The plethora of forums and posts on this specific topic, it seems that we, potential users are out of luck. Please advice and correct.

  Hi Melachrino,

  Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community. The question you have posted is related to the Live and would be better suited to the online community. Please visit the link below to find a community that will provide the support you want.

• Slow APEVIA CYBERPOWER, 4-core, Windows 7 Home premium-slow two start and several popups asking me to change the settings

  I followed all the directions to Norton Support staff, but windows won't let me access the 'C:\Users\Chris>chkdsk.  My machine is slow and several companies have informed me serious problems.  (In the black box) of "Start - Search says chkdsk " access denied because you don't have enough privileges. " You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode.  I used the system and Defragmenter tools.  The "USER ACCOUNT" of my control panel lists ' Chris as administrator, still will not allow me access!  Neither I nor Tech Norton can understand this one.  CAN ANYONE?

  My problem is that now I'm quite cash and poor credit and I can not find a freeware without scanner is not a costly record for the fix.  Now I wonder if they still exist.  Can someone help an old man handicapped with nothing in his life to do than to play Flight Simulator-X.

  I bought a computer from them 4 years ago and my experience was not very good.  I had to replace the motherboard and power supply and while I was there I replaced the RAM sticks because they were not compatible with the jury as well the only thing original is the case, and the microphone on the front panel is not working still I have not tried yet the helmet.

  I don't know what the problem with your machine, but it is possible that it is hardware or software partners. I suggest that you post in the forums there is someone out there can help you out. If your machine is still under warranty I contact them or take it to a reputable repairshop. Just to let you know I was really sick and I couldn't return my machine within a period of one month return policy, and they told me to come any time to get my computer fixed.
  I rode it five times and was always a problem. The only solution was to fix it myself.

• Windows XP computer is slow to start and stop.

  original title: PC is VERY slow

  It takes awhile to start and turns off, surfing is quite slow as well. How do I speed it up?

  Some reasons for the slow pace of the computer:

  1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance

  2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

  4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).

  5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:

  For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
  The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

  For Vista/Windows7 - Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '. Autoruns is also very useful.

  6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.

  7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.

  8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode (IDE only - not applicable for disks SATA drives). It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information -http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

  If the hotfix registry PIO only 'glue' (or you have a SATA drive), the drive is probably faulty and needs to be tested.
  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot

  In addition to the above, see also http://miekiemoes.blogspot.com/2008/02/help-my-computer-is-slow.html

  Note: If the computer has always been slow, in addition to the above user may have bought a machine with a less powerful processor and not enough RAM (memory). The normal use of the computer, 512 MB to 1 GB is sufficient for XP; Vista should have a minimum of 2 GB; Windows 7 is less demanding than Vista, but the minimum of 2 GB should also be used.

• Windows xp sometimes extremely slow, to connect to the Internet.

  Sometimes, when I log on the Internet there is a long wait to connect, other times I get a quick response.  Times slower than fast times.

  Hi kendriver,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         You get the error message?

  ·         You use Internet Explorer? If so, what version are you using?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Follow the steps in the article.

  Possible issues and resolutions for slow connection in Windows XP speeds

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310590

  Method 2: Temporarily disable the security software.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 3: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

• Windows 7 is extremely slow going sleep and wake.

  I timed it the other day; It has taken almost five minutes for Windows enter the mode 'sleep'. I tried to turn it back on, and it took literally five minutes before the logon screen appears. She does on a regular basis, and it starts to become very irritating. I tried to update my drivers, but Device Manager claims they are up-to-date. If it helps, I run the 64-bit version on a HP laptop with 4 GB of ram. The processor is an AMD Turion 64 X 2 TL - 60 to 2 GHz. I can provide more information if necessary. If anyone has any advice at all, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

• Windows 7 very very slow to start

  New installation of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on desktop PC.  Only other thing installed is chrome plated and microsoft security essentials.  All updates done.  It takes 20 minutes to start.  He's here with the windows on the monitor screen.  No 3rd software part on it except chrome.  When he finally gets it, it works fine (the research and internet access).  PC hardware is suitable for the application, even if I forgot the exact specifications.

  Thoughts?

  How do I diagnose this?

  KK.  Thanks for the help.  Ran tests and seems to be the same.  Thanks for all the help and answers.

  However, it seems I've found the problem.  Something really stupid and simple.  I got "help" during the construction of this PC of some well-meaning friends.  I did not notice that the VGA and DVI cables were connected to graphics card to display.  Apparently, he got confused with the two signals coming.  When I unplugged the VGA cable, all right now.  Great indicator was that the system would be * out when the display went to sleep - always.

  So we can put this one to bed...

• Windows 7 computer is slow to start

  After I put on computer, it begins to start - first logo dell from windows... so I have a black for about 15 seconds until the Welcome screen, which takes about 35 seconds - then a black for about 10 seconds screen and appears then the taskbar and the desktop starts slowly to fill.

  How can I troubleshhot these screens to return?

  A clean boot, try (as a test). Who starts quickly? (a time tested and studied, don't forget to reset - step 3)

  It might be that the OS just needs a little maintenance, so try a Disk Cleanup, disk error checking, disk defragmentation run a check of the sfc/scannow . They can help, depending on what is actually causing the problem.

  Run a check of malware (just in case!). Download, install, update (by right clicking on its icon and 'run as administrator' then go to the update tab) and run a complete scan with free Malwarebytes.

• Firefox is extremely slow to * start * loading a page

  Hi all
  I love Firefox on the desktop and it is the only browser I want to use on mobile as well, but it is unusable.

  Load application is fast, which works very well. It is when I go to load a page, that I have to wait 5-10 seconds for anything to happen. It is * not * associated network. I tested this by opening a local file on my phone. Firefox opens quickly, but shows the pan for about 6 seconds before displaying the content. It's the same for remote pages. I enter a url, and again, I have to wait. Once past the first delay, the loading bar appears and the downloads page and renders quickly.

  There is something going on between application load, download and rendering of the page that really takes a lot of time. It's driving me crazy. Any ideas?

  I use firefox on Android on an HTC 4.2.2 27 X. thanks!

  It is not normal for Firefox for Android to take 10 seconds. It is a symptom of Adblock Plus. Currently, we know that PDB will cause times of several seconds.
