Windows 7 is very slow to load and run programs

When I load Windows 7 it takes 3-5 minutes until the desktop. It then takes another 2 1/2-4 minutes for the icons to load and other programs to be active. Also, when you access my IP (AOL) it takes more than three minutes to load the program and to establish a connection (via ADSL). Never, it took a long time with XP or Vista. Is - this common with Windows 7?

If you start in Mode safe mode it loads a lot faster?

  • PS CC 2014 very slow to load and function after update 2014.2

    I've updated my Photoshop CC 2014 64-bit today.  It worked perfectly until the update.  Since the update, PSCC 2014 has been very, very slow to load and slow in use.  I uninstalled used PS PS cleaner and reinstalled via the CC Office.  The problem of the speed remains.  Interestingly, the 3D is the functions Menu which seems to take longer to load.  In other words, see the program load, possibly, but 3D 6 or 7 seconds later.  I don't know if it's important.  The installation worked fine the update.

    Grateful for any ideas on what could be the problem and what I can do about it.

  • IPad 2 slow to load and removes programs

    I have an iPad 2, 4-5 years old, slow to load programs and falls frequently. Is it time for a new pad or a problem?

    My models of iPad 2 and 3 are running just fine and dandy on the last iOS 9.2.1.

    So the questions is not affects all former iPad users anywhere in the world.

    What free data storage space is left on your iPad?

    Ideally, your iPad needs to maintain a minimum free data storage space of 3-6 GB of space for reliable operation and ensure the possibility of update/update successful iOS.

    If you get low on iPad for free space, then it is time to back up important data before deciiding what to remove from your iPad to make more free space on it.

    How did you perform the upgrade?

    Do the update/upgrade using WiFi is a less reliable method to upgrade.

    It is better to upgrade an iDevice connected to a computer running iTunes with you sync iDevice had and backed up by iTunes rather than OTA Over The Air () using a wireless WiFi connection, if possible. Doing a major or critical OS update/update may be risky to do in Wifi or cell due to the risk of interruption of data or forged data, causing problems with downloading the OS data and the subsequent installation of the unit.

    If you have no other choice than to use the Wifi, then make sure that you have a solid and stable connection the will of the signal does not induce the possibility of dropout data. Also, it is best to do the update/update via iTunes you will get the update/upgrade entire and not only a smaller WiFi download version/serving based on your iDevice to model that can or can not download everything that your particular iDevice needs. I prefer the iTunes method because there is minimal risk, and I've never had PROBLEMS with ANY operating system, updates using this method.

    Here's my growing list of my possible corrections/suggestions to try on your iPad.

    Try them all.

    A disclaimer clause.

    I make no warranty, express or implied, that my own procedures return EACH older iPad to a usable state, running.

    Try to reset all the settings in the settings under general app and in the right column under restore.

    Try stories reset and delete/reset the caches in all web browsers you use.

    If you use Safari, these features may be in the application settings under Safari.

    Other browsers have their settings inside the running application itself.

    If your iPad has been activated for iCloud, in the application settings under iCloud, to the right, under iCloud Drive, type in iCloud drive and make sure that Safari is off to save data from Safari to iCloud by car.

    Also, under iCloud in the application settings, in iCloud Drive, turn the feature off saving for all other desired apps DO NOT the data automatically on iCloud drive.

    If you are using Safari is always causing issues.

    Try changing / using web browser third another, different.

    I do not use iOS Safari too much more because I found it cause me headaches on some Web sites, regularly, to visit.

    I commonly use another third party browser, perfect browser (there are others that can suit your style better web browsing, so look all first to see what third-party browser may work better for you) and I have never experience many questions that Safari was originally.

    In the application settings tab general, right under the spotlight sesrch, try disable the search under the applications who really don't need a research, as some games, remote controls, apps that are really useless to be searched, etc., in order to reduce the list to Spotlight search.

    Try to turn the reduced movement.

    This is found in the application of settings in the general tab, in the left panel.

    In the right panel, look under accessibility, look to reduce the Motion and turn this feature "On".

    You should see a significant performance increase on all models of iPad 2, 3 and 4.

    In the application settings under the general tab, in the right column, search background App update and enable this setting to "off".

    In the application settings, under the Panel of Safari, turn off / disable Safari Suggestions.

    If you are willing to do (I, personally, would not recommend this), some users have reported that turn off find my phone/iPad, in the settings app in iCloud, has improved the performance of iOS, although I have no how this feature could be the cause of such a slowdown in execution, unless it's a bug in the iOS which only affects some iPad users.

    Try an another hard reset of your iPad by simultaneously pressing buttons Home and sleep/wake button until your iPad goes to the dark and restarts with the Apple logo, then release the buttons.

    Good luck!

  • DIAdem v11.1 SEEN very slow to load pan and zoom 2D graphics axis

    As for the user KJ2, I find DIAdem version 2011 very slow when loading the data in the display.

    I have two laptops, a DIAdem 2010 operating and the other the new 2011. IAM loading the same PDM file into two versions.

    The 2010 takes more time initially to load the data in the browser window, but it is almost instant when zoom and pan in the display window.

    Load the file instantly in the browser of the 2011, but then takes an age to zoom and pan, which is very frustrating when the analysis of the data.

    I can improve performance at the 2010 level if I load the data with an interval of small applied reduction (factor 2) - once again, it takes much more time to load in the browser window, but is now usable in the view window.

    The only problem now is that all channels are renamed with the Appendix "sample".

    I guess that's a result of the new feature 'optimised loading data' which I guess is only load the data when I need IE when zooming and panning in the display!

    Help please, before I resort to re - install 2010!

    Karoline

    Hello Albert,.

    It is a relatively easy solution:

    In the BROWSER, go to the menu "settings":

    In the dialog box that is displayed, change the setting of data "always load in bulk.

    Alternatively, you can also change this in the dialogue box "parameters: compatibility", but I don't know what is the difference between these two methods.

    Hope that helps, no need to return to the 2010 version after these changes. Oh and don't forget to save your configuration file after making the changes to make them permanent!

  • Homegroup is very slow. Loading files from another computer is very long and I can't watch movies on the wireless using the homegroup.

    Group residential slow and other problems with it

    Hello!

    I have 3 Windows 7 PC-s (office #1, #2 desktop and laptop). I created HomeGroup and join all computers, so I can access the files on each of them. But my problem is the following: homegroup is very slow. Loading files from another computer is very long and I can't watch movies on the wireless using homegroup, because it is slow and every two seconds of loading film. And also needed a few minutes to open the pictures (more than 10 GB in all folders) to a folder in the other PC. Why is this work so slow? I don't think there is a problem with slow wireless router, because I can replace my old Linksys WRT54GL Linksys E4200, which is able to transfer video HD 3D such as Linksys provide. What should I do to fix this? Should I change all the settings in Windows, perhaps in the router...?
    And why my laptop is not always visible to the other PC to homegroup? He see two others and two other sees, but they are not portable. This happens sometimes. But then I still share with homegroup libraries to my laptop and there still other computers see it and all shared libraries. Where is the problem? I also try to change the HomeGroup services automatically, but this does not solve the problem.
    If I forgot something to write, or you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.
    I'd appreciate any help really.

    Hello

    I suggest that you tell us more about your system and then do a few scans for malware and fix performance issues.

    It makes no sense to try to resolve a performance problem on the system without knowing anything about it or who might have an infection on this subject.

    I suggest you stop "try" things too and if you can tell us the names of the cleaner and other products that you have already tried that would be good to know (so we do not suggest that you already have).

    When we have a known starting point, then begin to fix things (don't try things).

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

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

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

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

    Fill in the blank: my system worked well until: _.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.
