• Aspire One D255E, Intel Atom, Windows 7 Starter: Slow and unresponsive

  All,

  I work on this Netbook for my parents.

  It has been used VERY little since.

  has all updates installed,

  There is NO program installed outside the factory except for MS Security Essentials and Maliwarebytes programs.

  That said, it is VERY SLOW and sometimes UNRESPONSIVE to keyboard shortcuts.  I know that this is not a high level of PC, but can I do to speed it up if we can search, eBay, Facebook and other sites.  No hard calculations are required, just basic of simple functions.  It's just to slow down now and basically no one will use them.

  Thank you.

• Since the update to 6,18 windows is slow and unresponsive

  Hello. Since I updated to 6.18 last my Win8.1 (once a day) was sometimes slow and unresponsive, even if the Task Manager indicates that nothing is happening. It takes the Task Manager, 8 seconds to appear. Here, I see that Skype does not respond and when I kill it then system responds once more.

  When I restart Skype I 1/5 chance of having the problem again, so I reboot several times to make it work. When there will be a version 6.18 fixed?

  I can't downgrade because of the stupid idea of "autoupdate" - I can not connect to any previous version, for example, 6.16, even though I have disabled AutoUpdate updates. Who invented this stupid idea of "you cannot log in to the version you want to use?

  It seems I have a solution!

  I found somewhere here on the forums a Council disable smilies in messages to increase performance. And indeed 3 days my Skype does not block or slow down the computer, even though I've updated to the latest version of Skype.

  Finally I have the solution!

• Firefox has becomes slow and unresponsive after that I tried to install the addons (not installed)?

  I recently format my computer and reinstall windows 7, since it was the only way I know of to solve the problem with Firefox (I already had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it. This version was super fast. But becomes slow and unresponsive when I tried to install the Add-ons. I visited the official site of firefox and searching for addons, when I tried to install addons, Firefox crashed. Therefore, it has becomes quite slow and cannot restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, it takes more than 5 minutes and reacts more frequently (after typing each letter).
  I want to know if this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable".

  Hey there,

  We are sorry to hear that Firefox crashes. To better help you, please follow the steps below to provide us with crash IDs to help us learn more about your accident.

  1. Enter Subject: hangs in the Firefox address bar and press ENTER. A list of submitted Crash reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent report ID begins with bp - and then back to your forum question but that stick in the box of "Post a response. (Please do not take a screenshot of your plant, just copy and paste the ID image below is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

  

  Once you have done so, you could try the Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

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

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode 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 issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow 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.

  I hope this helps!

• When getting started, my computer is slow and unresponsive?

  For the last two or three days, I noticed that my computer is very slow and unresponsive. None of the programs that I click on will open and usually everything will freeze if I press what either. When I put my computer in Mode safe mode (with networking), everything seems to work very well. When in Mode safe, everything I click actually works, but it seems that it's not when I start my computer using the option "Start Windows normally". I have a laptop that is currently running on Windows 7. Anyone happen to know how I can fix this problem? Can what steps I take to fix my laptop? I also tried searching for virus and so far it is said that my computer is fine and has no virus. I used CCleaner (Pro) to "clean" my computer and my computer still seems slow, unresponsive and freezes quiet a bit. I also system restore my computer to an earlier time, but it is still giving me the problem slow, freezing and not responding like it.

  Thunderbird is slow and unresponsive. It takes about 2 minutes for the email to be delivered, then another 1 or 2 minutes to open emails once they come in.

• Firefox very slow, slow and unresponsive on Windows 8.1

  Basically, everything is very slow and each action takes a long time to complete - tabs, switching takes about half a second to a full second (5 seconds if there is another tab currently loading / refreshing), by clicking the Center button of the mouse takes more time, about half a second to a second for the exactly scrolling of arrows is displayed same thing with regularly by clicking on the scroll on the right, Firefox bar pretty much freezes for about a full second before reacting to the click.

  I tried to run Firefox with addons disabled, which did not help, which I did not know that he don't would be not since this problem started before I even had the addons - pretty good the second, I installed Firefox.
  I have Firefox running on an SSD card and a new installation of Windows 8.1. I tried the two Aurora and nightly (currently using every night), both are just as slow.

  I have not tried to reset, because once again, the question was already there during my first installation of Firefox.

  Figured out what the problem is - it is a software of DisplayFusion I use to support multiple monitors which is causing the problem. I'll just get an alternative until (if ever) the question ceases to exist.

  Thanks for the help.

• Computer performance are slow and unresponsive in the middle of the running applications

  Original title: Volsnap error, VSS, registry handle leaks, the drivers won't load is not etc.

  Little by little over the last few months, my computer has been slowing down, suddenly "not responding" in the middle of a program and a few other oddities.  I can't identify when this started because he was progressive.  I had to replace an old drive SSD C and when I did, I also bought a new copy of Windows 7 Prof 64 bit SP1.  Drive C is now SATA 6.

  Specs are adequate, CPU i7 930, 16 GB ram, 2 7200 1 TB WD drives each, 1 WD 'green' 2.5 SATA 6 GB, an Intel SSD SATA2 M225 and a Corsair Force SATA 6, which is the 'new' drive C.

  Hello
  The three files that does not loaded at startup proved a Paragon backup facility that I had deleted.  I found in the registry and is more had this error.

  Slow and sudden episodes of "not responding" continues in safe mode, safe mode with network and boot.

  Mr. Fixit noted that I had too many programs loaded on startup that I already knew and will work hard to stop.  It has been useful in this gave me a list of the programs that did not need to start.  Some of this list was a distant base such that suggests my AV does not need to start, but some of it was useful.

  I then started to keep track of programs that seemed more likely to slow down or freeze the machine.  I reduced to one of my drives 3 1/2 inch WD 7200 and my 25 M Intel SSD.

  I ran Intel SSD toolbox and it showed no errors and no updates.  Estimated of life was about 95% and I had the car for 2 years.  There is an option to click that says "SSD Optimizer", and I suspect it is similar to a manual pad because it is one of their first records.  I "optimized" and it was immediately faster.  Intel said to do once a week or two and I never did.

  I ran HD Tune Pro on the WD and it showed a bad CRC so that a warning on the drive, which is less than a year. HD air said the drive is bad OR a cable is bad.  I had a backup, Acronis Disk which took most of the data and I also had the cloud with versioning backup.

  Knowing that the food had been replaced by a technician who had twisted power cables, because most of the readers had been asked in reverse, I attacked this first.  I turned every drive so that the connection of the power supply has been on the same side and reconnect the cable after doing my best to straighten out and flatten the wire.  I then installed a new SATA cable on the WD drive in question.

  Then, wanting to be done with it once and for all and ensuring that I could save between Acronis and my backup of cloud, I used the command line in Administrator, then to Drive E tools mode, error checking.  I ticked the boxes: analyze and attempt to recover bad sectors and automatically fix file system errors.  A reboot and the process had started.

  When you are finished, I seemed to have a catchy machine and some of the programs which often hung, is done in two days.  Programs were pretty much intact, but most of the files had been erased from the disk.  I have restored all wiped files and files of Acronis and the cloud and everything seems to work perfectly.

  Unable to help me, I ran HD Tune Pro and made a mistake (not fast) full scan on the E drive.  She came back without error.

  I know that this drive can fail again, and above all, I couldn't have been this aggressive if I had not had 2 backups.

  Do you think it will fail again?  I decided that, if so, I'll get another SSD (or two) to replace.  Although it will cost you much, I fear that hard drives are not very well made and I don't want to go through this again - and maybe not be so lucky.

  Thanks for your help and I'll post again if it fails in the near future.  Someone knows something about the new SSD Plextor?  Or would you go with Samsung?

  Thanks again.

  Windows XP has become slow or not responding more frequently because I downloaded from the Garmin site.

  Hello

  Many things contribute to this slowdown to a computer, it could be hardware or software related.

  Computers get slower for various reasons: files become disorganized, unnecessary software consumes resources, readers of network unused slow start or too many programs run automatically at startup. Larger, serious questions can dramatically too slow down your computer's performance. You may have a virus or have need troubleshoot clean start.

  Check to see if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in mode without failure, then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state.

  My Acer One ZG 5 is apparently very slow a file called scvhost.exe (I think) eats memory. What can I do?

  What is useful or even possible to upgrade to windows 7?

  Hello

  Svchost.exe is a process on the computer that hosts, or contains, other individual services that Windows uses to perform various functions. For example, Windows Defender uses a service that is hosted by a svchost.exe process.

  There may be multiple instances of svchost.exe running on your computer, each instance containing different services. One instance of svchost.exe can host a single service for a program, and another instance can host several services related to Windows. You can use Manager tasks to display services running under each instance of svchost.exe.

  To view the services that are running under svchost.exe:

  (a) open the Manager the tasks by right-clicking on the taskbar and then click Task Manager.
  (b) click on process tab.
  (c) If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  (d) Hovering mouse on one of the processes will show you a list of all the services.

  You mentioned that your computer is running slowly. Follow the troubleshooting method specified in the link here.

• After Windows Update on 13/10/11 all reboots Windows is extremely slow and hard drive is on continuously.

  I ran the Windows, distributed update to my PC 10/13/11.  After restarting the computer is so slow as to be unusable.  I am able to get the Windows Task Manager to run, and it sees a minimum CPU (0-10%).  The hard drive light is on continuously.  The computer seems to be tied up access the hard disk.  The machine restarts do not help.  When you try to use Windows Explorer to view what is on the hard drive of each operation takes several minutes to complete.  I tried to launch the system restore to restore to before the update, but it shows a blank white screen.  Often trying to do something with the Windows Explorer I see in the title bar of Windows Explorer (not responding).

  How can I get the machine into a usable state?

  It's a shame that we know absolutely nothing about your system, but it's because the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked.

  You can probably fix your calendar to restore system back to an earlier date, but that would leave you without the updates, so you should really understand what the deal is with them and fix it (eventually).

  Here's how:

  If your system restore page display only the title bar 'System Restore', or your accounts settings page of users shows that the 'User accounts' title bar and the screen where information needs to be is an empty white box...

  System Restore is a frequent target of attacks by malicious software.  If SR was working before and is now afflicted, run some scans and then fix any problems.

  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

  Just fix the immediate issuance of the calendar vacuum system restore:

  Looks like your file jscript.dll became somehow not registered so you can re-record it.

  There are probably a few other things that do not work you know yet, so fix them all at once.

  Re-registration of these DLLs is correct, even if they do not need renewal.  THERE

  Click Start, run, and in the box enter orders following one at a time.  Click the OK button to execute each command one at a time.

  regsvr32 jscript.dll
  regsvr32 vbscript .dll
  regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll (it's a look of slash)

  The last order for mshtml load the DLL but can also contain a harmless warning depending on your environment.

  Now check your timetable for restoration of the system and/or the user account settings page.

  After you get through the other 'methods', then someone can help your mounting system, but it will be easier and go faster without wild goose chase if you provide additional information, first:

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Now make some clarifications:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msinfo32

  Click on OK and when system summary information is displayed, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy) Ctrl + C) then paste (Ctrl-V) the information here.

• Computer slow and unresponsive

  original title: behave differently

  Sometimes the computer behaves differently... as applications closing automatically etc, all of a sudden, unresponsive, slow down and the problem persists until I reboot...

  my computer is completely virus free and is brand new...

  This can be caused by many things, but if the computer is new while I'd take in warranty service or replacement if they cannot solve the problem (for the seller or the manufacturer or anywhere where a place to make a claim).  What you do yourself could void the warranty and you don't want that.  It could take hours to check to try to find this kind of problem and we can still find empty - there is no simple solution to this type of problem.  It will be very difficult to identify and fix yourself, even with our help and general troubleshooting procedures.  It might even be a hardware problem, in which case a replacement of the device problem or the computer under warranty is justified and that you must consider in service anyway.

  If it is brand new, not to take risks and take advantage of the guarantee, there is always.

• Windows 7 suddenly slow and System Idle process CPU utilization a concern

  Almost overnight, my Sony Vaio with Windows 7 (bought in 2010) has worked incredibly slow.  I tried to update the computer with the automatic updates of Windows and the Service Pack 1 could not install many times.  So, I installed the system update readiness tool.  Then I tried to install the SP again and it worked (I was also able to install SP2 and other updates at this point).  But, these downloads and installations took longer than they should have and my computer continues to lag when I'm trying to do something.  Norton AntiVirus found no problem.  I've only used about 20 percent of the memory.  System Idle Process is using high CPU, even when I try to use other programs such as IE and Google Chrome.  The computer fans work diligently as if the computer tries to run, but everything is going so slow that the computer is almost useless.

  The computer is almost three years old, but did not have something else installed Norton because I bought the new computer.  It has been used daily for almost three years without problem.  I do a lot but check Windows Live Mail, and then type the documents in Word format - literally that's all; no other programs, games, etc.  However, I have an error code a few months back: 'Not authentic Windows, Build 7600.'  In response to the error, I got my product key and verified the program and to use new Windows 7.
  Anyone know why the system idle process continues to consume so much CPU even when I try to open a web browser?  Even when the computer is inactive, the fans are running full speed and the computer becomes warm to the touch.  It seems that no matter what the computer is doing, it is lagging behind and struggling.  Even if I just want to open the start menu, it takes a few seconds for the computer to respond.
  Thank you!

  It is not dust but the crapware that you must get rid.  The first suspect is Norton, which is a terrible software that slows down terribly computers.  Get rid of Norton and install Comodo Internet Security instead.  Make sure that when you get rid of the plague of Norton, you get the Norton Removal tool and run twice.  Also, make sure that manually enter you your folder program files and delete all Norton and Symantec files and use a program like Malwarebytes file Assassin to get rid of the persistent process who do not want to delete.

  Then use CCleaner (and ONLY CCleaner - do not download or install any other system cleaners or registry mechanic) for cleaning your system and use Revo Uninstaller to remove any extra crapware that is installed on your machine.  Be sure to remove any software from Apple and get rid of all Windows Live software.

  Finally, you'll want to disable several Windows processes that eat up RAM unnecessarily.  These include Sync Windows, Windows Defender and Windows Action Center.

  Follow all the advice and you should find that your computer is running a lot faster.

• Windows Mobile 8 slow and freezes and cannot enter safe mode

  Hi guys, I hope you can help me with a Windows laptop, 8 that gives me problems. I'm trying to help out a friend, and honestly I feel like I'm out of my depth. The initial problem was that the laptop has been slow to respond, very slow, I suspected a virus, ran a Norton scan, it turned up nothing, I ran out of time so I put in safe mode and it gives back, with a significant improvement of the laptop in safe mode. I got the laptop back today and it is always very slow to respond despite having 6 GB of RAM and specifications that must run Windows 8 very well. Is no longer possible in safe mode, and every time I try to put it in safe mode I see Start followed a white/black screen samsung, i.e. when the process ends. However when I try a normal start it starts, but at a snails pace and goes to the login screen, where it is only partially acceptable (it meets more frequently). Any help you guys can provide would be great, thanks in advance, do not hesitate to ask any questions and I'll try to get back to you as soon as POSSIBLE.

  Hello

  You might want to look in the Startup tab of the the Task Manager for any substance uneeded...

  In particular, all that has changed recently...

  You could also look into the Services of MSCONFIG tab, hide all Microsoft and see what remains...

  Someone not know I had a similar problem, and their main problem is that something called LogMeIn.

  It is in the Startup tab...

  What processes Taskmanager shows running?
