  I recently installed Contribute CS4 and it takes forever to start, if it starts up at all (the small color wheel keeps spinning and spinning). Is this normal (I hope that no.. lol)? If this is not the case, what could be the problem and how can I fix this? Thanks in advance!

  Please try to update to Contribute. You can use bridge to Contribute update. Simply run Bridge and then click on help-> updates. Then, install all updates in Contribute. This should help.

• NB305 10F takes forever to start

  Hi all

  I have a brand new (two days!) NB305 10F Netbook and even it is a very nice piece of kit to mount on a half hour or so to start!

  I didn't do anything to this thing of the hook aopart up to my wireless home network and since then stop after that it simply does not work correctly. I tried to power off and re-boot in safe mode, but it still takes forever!

  What's up (Toshiba help line will get ' phoned later this afternoon!) and how do I back out of the box settings? Can I start and enter the BIOS with F2 or F8 magic or similar to reset everything?

  Any ideas would be most appreciated.

  Thank you.

  On each new Toshiba notebook is preinstalled original Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image contains many tools and utilities as well as additional applications. Most of them start by operating system and slows down the startup time.

  Please note: when you get the new book of Microsoft updates are set to auto so when you start your laptop and there is LAN or WLAN connotation your laptop will start to automatically download the updates and it will slow down the performance of any computer laptop.

  What you need is the optimization of the OS.

  Hi Zvika,

  If running Chkdsk (according to the post of Ramesh Kumar) does not help, you can determine whether this problem is caused by third-party shell extensions. You can use ShellExView from Nirsoft to work.

• Computer takes forever to start (windows 8)

  Until recently my phone has taken an hour or more at the start (and I'm pretty sure it takes a lot of time to stop but that doesn't bother me). When I hit the power button / I hear the fan or something when I put my ear close by, but all lights only stays on for a few seconds and then I don't hear it anymore. My computer will simply if sit like a black screen... as the monitor is asleep or something, suspecting he was asleep I tried to hit the SPACEBAR several times to wake up but no it doesn't. . After what seems like years, I finally see the lenovo loading screen and it starts up fast from there. I tried to run ccleaner, tried to make a record of cleaning / optimization, I scanned for virus/malware, I fiddled around in the boot parameters by running 'msconfig', disabled some startup programs and nothing I tried worked even. I go GeekSquad.com and they tried to help me remotely and they said that "it seemed that I just needed a good tuneup", so if any of you know what they do to optimizations that could be useful and I can try to do it myself.

  When I go on the start with Ctrl Alt Del menu it says my last time of bios is about 2.8 seconds

• My windows mail takes forever to load. Started about 4 weeks ago. No problem except for the amount of time for loading

  I'm using Vista - Windows mail 6.0.6000

  What is a POP3 account? If so, see if the problem persists if you uncheck the send & receive Messages at startup.

  A few steps, you can try.

  • Delete the account, restart, and then add it again.
  • Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

Whenever I get to start a laptop program always crashes with some answers takes about an hour.

  I used the recovery disks, I did when I was told to do, first used the labtop about 5 times so far. Whenever I've restored the system it works very well for about 1 hour until that I had to install the Windows updates.

  Anyone able to help me on this problem of mine?

  As already written boarder is not easy to say why this is happening. With own laptop preinstalled, obviously, everything works fine.

  So what you need to do is to disable the automatic update of Windows.
  Chose the option check for updates but let me choose when... and before enable update checking the list of all the available updates.
  Be sure only important updates will be installed. Do not install the updates defined as optional.

  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.

• Windows Backup takes forever to fill

  Hi all

  Yesterday in the evening, I started a full backup of my system using Windows backup. It was 20:00. At 23:00, it's always 12% completion. At 07:00 this morning, it's 16 percent.

  There are two internal drives in the computer: System drive is a WD Velociraptor 300 GB, with about 87 GB of data in it. Data disk, where I moved also directories of users data, is a WD Caviar 500 GB, with about 250 GB of data in it. The backup drive is a WD 1 TB external connected via USB2.
  Regarding the backup settings, due to the fact that it is the first that I do after the construction of the machine, I checked all options, so "everything" is saved + image of the system is performed.

  Why it takes so long? Is - this plausible? It is still in a phase of "slow" in the process, after which it is likely, it will speed up, or I better would abandon the process and try less "aggressive" backup options (or another backup program...)?

  Thank you very much in advance,

  concerning

  Hello
  I think I found what happened to my backup:

  my users files are not in the system disk, rather in a second separate one, all the options for the backup, i.e. the two drives together audit AND users 'collections', seems to create a sort of "loop".
  Unchecking the "data disk" backup (in fact, perfectly useless because in order to safeguard this up I better just copy the 'Users' directory on the backup disk!) and unchecking the collections of users did the tour and performed in a few minutes the system disk backup.

  It seems that I still have to come a long way before I fully understand the implications of Windows 7 is 'collections', 'links' and so on...

  I hope that my 'incident' can be useful to someone else...

• Windows 7 takes FOREVER to load the user/switch user screen

  Earlier today, I turned on my Toshiba laptop (Satellite P855-S5200) and got some kind of error message, and then he led me to a screen asking if I wanted to do a system repair or start windows normally. I chose the repair of the system, but then it seemed stuck in this process (it took forever and nothing happened), so I turned off the laptop (I don't know, not big), started in safe mode, and did a system restore to a restore point from a week ago. The 'starting Windows' screen come and don't go, no problem. Everything seemed fine until I got to the selection screen of the user (by default blue with the little Hummingbird or something else). Then he just sat there, on this screen. I could see the Hummingbird and the wavy lines, but there is no button to click on my user. I just let it sit there and after about 5 minutes, the usernames popped up and I was able to continue to use the computer with no problems, no speed no questions whatsoever. Now, he makes me wait each time, always five minutes, pop up user names before. It does when I reboot the machine and when I try to switch users.

  It's a Pentium Core i7

  2.3 Ghz

  8 GB RAM

  Windows 7 Home Premium

  Let me know if you need any other specifications.

  Any ideas?

• Offsite replica takes forever to start, hangs on the activation of CBT

  We saw two separate instances of this, both are Windows Server 2008R1 VMs on separate VMware 5.5.0 hosts. Two different environments/locations.

  Common

  • Both are supported by separate servers from Veeam B & R.
  • Once the replica is started, it can be off and on normally, no timeout, second power on acts as expected
  • Both are suspended on a drive of about 1TiB
  • Guest readers are 10 k
  • Power on operation happens expired, tempting second power on results in "another task is already underway"
  • No load on the server
  • This has been a recurring problem, but recently has taken longer than usual, used to be anywhere between 5-10 minutes

  We ended up disabling CBT on the replica of VM during the manual/test failover.

  Just go to the options of VM and set ctkEnabled of your discs on false values.

  The replica of the boots now instantly.

  Problem is that this should be done every time we start the replica.

• Windows updates take forever...

  Dear Sirs,

  I have a windows Vista computer, and lately I'm trying to fix these windows problems to update on my own mistakes. I am trying to find answers on the Web sites, but whenever I'm digging into the problems, a new error keeps appearing.

  It seems that I missed files on the windows updates, or some files in the registry are incorrect, and now windows updates keep loading for ever... I even don't see the c:\windows\system32\catroot folder on my PC that is bound to the windows updates.

  Can you please tell me what to do? Windows updates are really important to the PC, so I really need the assistance of an expert in the field with my windows updates.

  Looking forward for your answer,

  Frank
