• Some slow to open programs

  Hello

  I had a brief look at various forums and did not find everything that contributes to date, so this is.

  My main problem is that some programs (Windows Media Player, Panel, Nexus Mod Manager to name a few) are extremely slow to open. By slow, we're talking up to five minutes. My boot time itself is fast, and the computer runs fast at any other time. My machine is a PC game and very good material, that is specified in the lower part. I use Glary Utilities to regularly clean up the drives, registry clean and defrag etc and I have very few programs to run at startup. None of this solves the problem.

  If any other information is needed please ask and I'll give you.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I use Glary Utilities to clean regularly drives, registry clean.

  This could be the cause of your problem. Microsoft does not recommend the use of registry cleaners as they can cause insoluble problems on your computer. Glary Utilities has all the backups of the registry before the "clean"?

  Download CCleaner from here. Once installed, open it and head over to the Tools tab, and then select start. In the lower right corner, select Save in the text file and select a name for it. Open the saved document and display its content in your next reply. As-well as. Click the 'clean' tab, keep all the boxes to check it and press run cleaner.

  Another possibility, is that you can have malicious software installed on your computer. In addition, I recommend that you download and run the programs below and delete all that they detect.

  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - http://malwarebytes.org

  AdwCleaner - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner

  Junkware Removal Tool - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool

  There are additional instructions for execution of AdwCleaner on the link below.

• My computer became slow to open programs and browse the folders

  Hello, since more than two weeks and I'm going to slowly browse my files, and run programs, for example, Media Player Classic would take less than a second to run, and now it takes more than 6 seconds to run!
  Now when I open the computer takes 2 seconds to display all of the content, and when I close the window which takes 4 seconds, but also with the rest of windows.

  It is a record of what happened in my computer:

  The CPU fan is working hard (noise)
  MPC open in more than 6 seconds
  After running the computer showed me a message that says "Restart to save the changes" (appeared once, not always shown)
  Navigation in folders have been slower
  When I start full scan by Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 the Scan window will hang and not respond (if the window reduced I can't restore it and he always downplayed)
  And if I close the lid when Full Scan running and open only after that the screen goes black (after waiting about an hour the office appear but the window scan still kept to a minimum and not answer and windows suspended)
  Stop to take 20 Min!
  Start of time take 3 Min! (To log on the screen)
  USB port do not recognize any USB drive until you restart
  Install Tune Up Utilities 2010 and clean every thing
  Stop taking about 1 min
  Start to take 1 min (to log on the screen)
  Navigation still slow (but better than before)

  I have Toshiba Qosmio G40 laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 2.40 Ghz
  4 GB ram, 500 GB HARD drive (free space in the C:\ partition is 25,4 GB)
  NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT (512 MB), Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit (up to date)

  Note: If you need a report ot system information HijackThis, I can give you.

  If your computer is overheating, it could certainly cause the symptoms you describe. There is no way I can accurately diagnose a problem of overheating or material without be practical with the machine. Many people like SpeedFan temperature of Windows testing program. Some motherboard mftrs. have their own diagnostic utilities. Prime95 is a great stress test.

• CS4 Extended VERY slow to open program! ???

  I just dropped a very large sum to buy CS4 Extended and the $ # * @# thing is taking over 5 minutes to open! (Yes, I timed it.) Once opened it seems to work very well, even if I do have to say things through she pacing a lot.  The obvious answer would be that I have a slow computer that is too small.  However, it is far from being the case. I have a new Dell laptop with a lot of "horses", much more than the system requirements listed outside of the box.  It does the same thing with the version both 64-bit and 32-bit.

  Here are some of the "vital" on the laptop:

  Operating system: Windows Vista 64 - bit Version: 6.0 Service Pack 1
  Processor Core Duo2: 2493 MHz
  Graphics card: GeForce VIDI 250 MB of 8600 M GT/PCI/SSE2
  Built-in memory: 4093 MB
  Image cache level: 4
  Hard drive: 500G

  Everyone knows about this problem? If Yes, what you did to solve it.  Needless to say, I'm VERY VERY disappointed at this stage. I had before PS7 and should have stuck with it!

  Thanks for your help

  Also update your system. SP2 for Vista is now released and is a huge upgrade in terms of size. Please install first.

• cannot open programs by right click and run as administrator

  had a virus earlier today, I think it was the security of windows one... anyway I got rid of it with malwarebytes and restarted my computer. now, for some reason, I can't run programs without going through a right-click and run as an administrator.
  When I try to run normally (left-click) I get this window "open with."
  I'm not very good with technical terms, but I tried several fixes that have failed

  When I right click, open properties, then open the tab compatibility... "run this program as Administrator" button is grayed out so I can't do anything with that.

  turning UAC enabled or disabled dosent seem to do anything.

  Some programs are completely inaccessible, (like microsoft word)

  I also watched regedit but as didemt not a lot of sense to me at all. If anyone could break how to fix this step by step before reinstalling the DVD (which I did not), you will be my best friend

• new updates of windows, firefox slow to open

  My computer installed two new windows updates... KB3021917 and KB3006137. Since then, Mozilla Firefox is slow to open. It takes at least 5 minutes. However, once the internet is in place, it works fine. It's just the process of the opening of the internet. Help, please.

  Hello

  I did some research and found out that it should be good if you ignore these two updates.

  KB3021917 - unless you are testing 10 Windows, you don't really have this update.

  KB3006137 - this update is pretty useless too, it changes the currency symbol of the Lithuania. https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/3006137?WA=wsignin1.0

• When I try to create a new e-mail in Windows Mail for Vista, the message box is delayed and slow to open.

  Hello, I have a laptop with Vista MS operating system and Windows Mail.  Since I got the computer, I noticed that when I go to create a new email, the new message box is delayed and slow to open.  And, often, once that I enter a contact in the line 'To', it also seems to be slow in filling.  No idea why this is happening.  The old OE always worked smoothly.  Thank you.

  original title: Windows Vista and Windows Mail

  Contacts are managed differently in Winmail in Vista and many can be what slows down things.  You can try to reduce them, and see if that has an effect any.

  See here for background information (www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm), although it seems that the link to contacts has been removed.  See here for information on contacts: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Managing-your-contacts
