• Windows 7 takes a long time to stop

  I installed a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit on one of my laptops about three months back. The laptop was brand new at the time. Everything went really smooth. But for the last week I am facing a problem, Windows takes an exceptionally long time to close. Whenever I try to close my laptop, the screen where it says that Windows is waiting for a program to stop with the option 'Force Shut Down'. The weird part is the place where it is supposed to show the program for which Windows expects in the end is empty. Absolutely no program is shown at any time. Even if I chose force closed, written with "Shut Down" screen comes up and the wheel will turn away and it takes about a minute to close. Sometimes, it takes as much as 5 to 8 minutes to stop. Previously he was not even a full 10 seconds to close.

  My laptop is not obstructed by installed apps. Apps only I use is Eclipse, Android, Google Chrome, web browser emulator, VirtualBox to run a copy of Ubuntu and FlashGet to download from the internet.

  All the drivers are installed correctly, as they ran all very well for the last three months. I have a paid Avast Anti-virus installed with paid Malware-bytes. I scan my laptop computer for viruses every two days and keep up-to-date. I keep my Windows updated through Windows Update. I have run the defragmentation of disk once a month. Even after that I encountered this problem, I ran a disk defragmentation. I also run CCleaner once a week. I have not yet installed any new apps until this problem appeared. I can't find something in maybe that could lead to this problem. The boot time for my laptop is really fast and normal. It feels sharp and fast while using it all the time. But the problem is whenever I try to turn it off.

  Computer laptop specifications:

  4 GB OF RAM

  HARD DRIVE 500 GB

  Processor Intel Core i3 3rd - Gen

  Can anyone help me please with this problem? I'm frustrated by that.

• Windows 7 takes a long time to load the desktop after login

  Hello

  I am using windows 7 on my HP 530 laptop. My friend who installed and activated, but I think that it has installed the cracked version. After installation, it was really perfect. but after a while when I connected to the internet, some updates have been installed, and then when I logged in the windows, he invites me that you are using a pirated version or something like that (I don't know more actually). then I restored to my previous state and then everything was fine. After that I stopped the automatic updates, but these days my startup window is having a few problems. After entering the password, its taking a long time to load the office and its keep on the list "loading, please wait...". »

  I'm so sick of that, also, I have to restart my laptop by pressing the power button, and after the reboot, it works fine. But I need someone to answerwhy its taking a long time to load the desktop...?

  Also, please give me some advice to solve this problem, keep this idea in mind that my computer is virus free and got a good processor and RAM. I installed my windows in the C drive, and in my C drive only almost 2 GB of space is left (or almost). and there is no program running auto in msconfig, other than gtalk, Skype, etc.

  I'll be really grateful if someone please give me the solution.

  HP would have provided your preinstalled laptop with win, they would also have provided a way to recover your laptop to the specifications of the factory, either through discs of recovery or a hidden restore partition that you need to access in order to make recovery disks. How do you access a recovery partition is an option of HP, is not dealing with a MS - visit the HP website, specific to your model for more details on how.

  If an illegal win7 version has been installed, or you have to buy version of win7 you need, or you need to recover your laptop provided that the factory provided, by doing so, you lose everything on the phone, if you have lost or that you can not do the restore cd and then telephone HP support they would usually provide records for a small fee.

• Adobe Acrobat Reader update takes a long time

  Lately, whenever I have trying to update Adobe Acrobat Reader on my MacBook Pro, it says "Installing Update" for a very long time (more than 30 min).  Why it takes so long?

  The normal download for installation of Player isn't final setup, this is a download manager to download the actual installer. Especially on Mac OS X, which doesn't seem to work reliable in all cases. I uninstall Adobe Reader and then start with a new download of the full installer via this link: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution

• The update takes a long time

  Hi we have a customer_status of the table where we have the following columns such as contacted_date and status

  Under certain conditions, it will read all lines and update the data

  as the customer_status UPDATE

  SET contacted_date = < some_date >

  When status = 0 and contacted_date is set to null

  It's taking a long time and have hanged...

  Please let me know what I need to check in what concerns the DB from Redolog setting or any other setting that I am basically a developer all

  The current version of the DB is:

  Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64 bit Production

  CUSTOMER_STATUS

  CONTACTED_DATE TIMESTAMP

  STATUS NVARCHAR (1)

  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  I've seen this kind of problem before and there is no simple answer.  You are better off watching a redesign, otherwise, you will have to resort to brute force tactics to improve performance.  And even then the best you can do is still very limited.

  If you have a table "customer_status" with a "status" column that has probably only 2-0 and 1 values.  This means that the optimizer will believe, in the absence of all histograms for each value to roughly half of the rows in the corresponding table.  Think about it, it makes sense.  In turn, that means that the optimizer is more likely to choose a full table scan to run the UPDATE.  In turn, which means that as time passes and the table grows then the update becomes slower and slower every time that it is executed.

  Solution?  A redesign.  Really, it's the "best solution".  Otherwise you still go to the fight against the problem that the "Status" column has only 2 values in it and Oracle can assume that half of the lines end with each value.  With these statistics, the optimizer will always choose a full as table scan being the cost lowest and as the table grows so the update is slower.

  You can try to create an index on the status and contacted_date on customer_status (status, contacted_date).  But that works only if the "status" has a NOT NULL constraint on it, which does not appear in your column definitions.  Without that the index would be always useless and Oracle would still do a full table scan.

  You would also go the questions that your query uses a 0, which is a NUMBER, but the definition of the column is of type NVARCHAR and Oracle will add an implicit conversion around the column to convert number in the execution of the query, which again once stops using the index on two columns.  Data types must match for an index to use.

  You could create a histogram of frequencies located on the 'Status' column so that the optimizer has more precise statistics.  But this can depend on when in the day, the table statistics are collected.

  These tables tend to be very dynamic with data changing in their breast. How many lines in this table?  Are all deleted?  Or they stay there forever?  How many times does change the status value?  Or it fixed once and stay the same forever?

  I've seen problems of treatment of systems with a table of 'work' with a "status" column on work, and depending on what time of the day, statistics were collected from this table, it could have vastly different numbers of lines in there and a different number of lines with different values for the 'status '.  Ultimately we did an overhaul and separate tables used - one for in the expectation of work - and one for completed tasks that kept the data sets smaller and meant that the table 'pending' only pending works in.

  My laptop recently had an update waiting for a 'new feature windows 10', I decided to update by clicking on update and close. Once that the screen says of things such as the update of preparation and installation of update.

• Problem with Windows XP takes a long time to start

  Hello, I am running Windows xp3 House. I have a problem with my firewall loading Windows. It takes about 2 minutes to load and it is that nothing works (Avira antivirus, Lynksys wireless monitor, etc.) until it starts. Sometimes it loads immediately, and then it's not? Weird. In a search, I found this, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823612 I ran it.

  He stopped and not responding so I had to turn it off and restart it manually. When I did I got a pop up telling me to activate my Windows, 3 days to activate. I did nothing to mess with windows, it has been installed on my pc when I bought it used and I have no cd or manual as I assume that it is installed at the factory. I know not where the i386 file is and have never been able to actually identify because I'm familiar with it. If my pc becomes unusable because of that I won't be able to use it and I don't know what to do. I did a system restore and it did not work. How to activate Windows if I must / I have to? How can I stop it? I don't know what to do and I need help. Thank you

  It is quite possible that all your problems are due to this dangerous program!

  Of course, any software can have a phenomenon of chance but, I have been using Glary Utilities for years and have never had a single problem.

  To the OP

  Malwarebytes Anti - Malware Version 1.60.0080

  I guess you use Malwarebytes as a scanner at the request since the version you list is obsolete. There are several malware that can cause false activation. My advice to you is first, make sure your computer is not infected. To do this you must first update Malwarebytes and run a full scan. Once that is completed and you have deleted everything which, on the contrary, that was detected you should do the same with SuperAntispyware. View your results.

  On another note, by the unlikely chance, you have the professional version of Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware know you can't run both at the same time by using the real-time protection. As long as you use one of them as an on-demand scanner, you're ok.

• slow library in wmp update takes a long time

  Hello :)

  I formatted my laptop recently and now I'm trying to update my wmp library. I have a very large collection of media, and it takes to always update the library. I wouldn't mind if she were not slow down my laptop performance.

  Is there anyway to speed up?

  Nope, other than to shut out everything else and it ends. He is already underway as soon as possible.  The only thing slowing it down would be other programs that try to run at the same time.

  Best advice: shut down everything, your power settings to "do not SLEEP" and leave on it, for several hours, it can be completed.

• Firefox takes a long time to close since a recent update and memory of pigs.

  Since the recent updates that have begun to use containers of plugin, Firefox takes a long time to close. If I try to go back there, he said that it is still running. I have liik in the Manager of tasks and about seven containers plugin. exe is running, and I turned off or disabled mostplugins and addons, same Quicktime. Firefox uses an obscene amount of RAM on my XP machine and rendered sluggish. I use XP SP3. This started after you added the plugin container in one of the recent updates earlier in the year. For the features it offers me or does not offer me, instead, it uses far too much RAM and is too slow. And takes a long time to close when I close the browser. It uses about twice as much RAM as it was.

  Upgrade your Firefox 9 browser and check
