• Windows 7 computer is slow to start

  After I put on computer, it begins to start - first logo dell from windows... so I have a black for about 15 seconds until the Welcome screen, which takes about 35 seconds - then a black for about 10 seconds screen and appears then the taskbar and the desktop starts slowly to fill.

  How can I troubleshhot these screens to return?

  A clean boot, try (as a test). Who starts quickly? (a time tested and studied, don't forget to reset - step 3)

  It might be that the OS just needs a little maintenance, so try a Disk Cleanup, disk error checking, disk defragmentation run a check of the sfc/scannow . They can help, depending on what is actually causing the problem.

  Run a check of malware (just in case!). Download, install, update (by right clicking on its icon and 'run as administrator' then go to the update tab) and run a complete scan with free Malwarebytes.

• Slow simulation (start and stop)

  Hello

  I am a student recently started to use Multisim for a specific course.

  Comparing my simulation time with other students he is incredibly slow. I'm waiting for more of 10 to 30 seconds then the average student to start or stop a simulation.

  For many reasons, I believe that my computer current 'settings' will have something to do with it. And by that, I mean drivers, updates, anything really what could cause slow Multisim.

  I currently also improved for a firm amount of RAM (8gig) for other reasons, then the one mentioned. But hey, it might help just right?

  In addition, I use an Acer aspire 5740G if this can be no attribution in research material bottlenecks or something.

  I searched this forum on how to speed up Multisim, but the parameters (what I could change) do not seem to have an effect really.

  One last thing, I don't think that we use many components. In addition some vipers, generating Word etc.

  When you start the simulation that I really understood the wait time, duh, it must 'load' and everything. But then the option "stop the simulation" taking so long.

  It is quite frustrating and with upcoming exams by which I'm supposed to use this application, I wish I had some time with Multisim running at normal speed.

  No, I don't have the time to reinstall Windows atm.

  I bought a computer from them 4 years ago and my experience was not very good.  I had to replace the motherboard and power supply and while I was there I replaced the RAM sticks because they were not compatible with the jury as well the only thing original is the case, and the microphone on the front panel is not working still I have not tried yet the helmet.

  I don't know what the problem with your machine, but it is possible that it is hardware or software partners. I suggest that you post in the forums there is someone out there can help you out. If your machine is still under warranty I contact them or take it to a reputable repairshop. Just to let you know I was really sick and I couldn't return my machine within a period of one month return policy, and they told me to come any time to get my computer fixed.
  I rode it five times and was always a problem. The only solution was to fix it myself.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  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: run DriverView - define the VIEW
  for the drivers Microsoft hide - updated those without drain in their names. (Also updated
  the BIOS and chipset drivers.)

  -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.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Stop Windows 7 to automatically install device drivers
  http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-7/stop-Windows-7-from-automatically-installing-device-drivers/

  Turn off Windows Update Device Driver search prompt in Windows 7 / Vista (for the professional, full and Enterprise edition)

  ===========================================

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.

• My Mac Mini is extremely slow and any video will start but soon stops and intermittently starts and stop immediately. What is the reason?

  My Mac Mini (end 2012) 2.5 ghz memory 8 GB Yosemite 10.10.5 is extremely slow. I read a few articles on communities, but unable to solve the problem. I plan to upgrade memory soon. In addition, a video game doesn't quite work. It starts and stops in 5 seconds and restarts it for a few seconds and stops completely. An advisor to fix the problem will be appreciated.

  When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is particularly bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Run the Console application in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

  SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

  in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

  List of newspapers seen ▹ display

  in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

  Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Highlight date back to the time you noted above.

  Select the messages entered since then until the end of the episode, or until they begin to repeat, whichever comes first.

  Copy messages to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

  The journal contains a large amount of information, almost all this is useless to solve any particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

  Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.

  Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.

  Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  When you post the journal excerpt, an error message may appear on the web page: "you include content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

• Why my computer does not delay when I try to watch the video again? It's a constant start and stop and buffering?

  I get a lot of golf maaterials and lesson over the internet.  It became a real pain and a problem for me to keep up with instructions.  When I received instruction to internet and start to play the video it winds and winds and play them for a few seconds then start and stop throughout the presentation.  What can I do to fix this problem?

  If several computers are using the internet at the same time, it might slow down the video stream on a computer (laptop or desktop).

  Or your internet connection is simply not enough fast to stream the videos you want to watch. There are several different speeds for DSL, so the speed increase may help.

• How to stop the EN icon appear in Windows 7 Pro to start and stop

  I have a language loaded on my computer.  Whenever the computer starts and stops at the icon IN displayed on the screen.  I looked in the obvious places like Start > Control Panel > clock, language and region, for a possible solution for this turn.  The language toolbar is turned off and is not reduced to a minimum or displayed anywhere.

  How can I prevent the EN icon appears?

  Thanks Omnicore you snapped.

  I don't know if that has an effect, but under keyboards, I got two installed?  The keyboard for the United States and the other for the United Kingdom.  I deleted the one for US as I am in England, applies the settings and rebooted the system.  The stop screen does not display the icon of EN, but on the home screen icon EN reappeared.

  So I applied the settings of copy on the administration tab, and after the system restarts, it erased the EN icon on hospitality and the stop of the screens.

  I appreciate you taking the time and allows you to reconfigure your computer to solve this problem for me.
