Windows XP, the application of the computer settings and the application of your personal settings is very slow

A XP computer over a network, recently and only recently started having problems when starting.  It is very slow.

When 'apply the settings of the computer' and when "applying your personal settings" is very slow.

It is only a very recent change.

A malware scan found no no problem.

Are there any suggestions?

You won't if you follow the above canned answer.

Is that a computer joined to the domain?  If so, the slowness comes from the network, DNS, domain controllers, or group policy.

You can have better luck in the technet forums.

    I work with dreamweaver cs6 running on Apple Mavericks.

    The site definition window shows all different fields by opening. I have to click blind with the mouse cursor in this window until the fields appear.

    It is somehow very annoying to complete the connection to the server and all the other things.

    Is there a solution?

    If this is the case, I think that it is perhaps a good idea to uninstall Dreamweaver. Before you reinstall, make sure that your personal configuration file has been deleted (see reinstalling Dreamweaver (or the extensions Manager) fails to solve problems). You should then have a completely clean copy of Dreamweaver has again the default settings of the program.

  • Windows 7 update lit when automatic computer on and stuck to 3 of 5

    I HAVE A NEW DELL COMPUTER THAT CAME WITH WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM EDITION. TODAY WHEN I TURNED ON T, HE WENT STRAIGHT TO THE AUTO UPDATES AND IS STUCK AT 3 OF 5 UPDATES NOW AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS.

    Hello
     

    You tried to install several updates in a single attempt that might have caused the conflict.
     
    Our first goal is to start the computer successfully. We can try a few methods.

    First check to see if there are external devices attached to the computer, if so remove and check.
     
    Method 1.
    Let us run repair system at this stage, it might solve the problem.
    See the following articles for additional help and steps on startup repair.

    What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7
     
    Method 2.
    I recommend you to restore system using a Windows 7 DVD.
    Here's how:
    To open the Options menu system recovery using a system repair disc or a Windows 7 installation disc
    If your system is damaged and cannot access the menu system on your computer Recovery Options, you can access it using the Windows 7 installation disc or a system repair disc previously.
    To use this method, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the disk.
    a. Insert the disc.
    b. restart your computer using the power button on the computer.
    c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    o If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer.
    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    e. If you are using the Windows installation disc, click on repair your computer.
    f. Select the Windows installation you want to repair, and then click Next.
    g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it and then choose the system restore and check.
     
    If we are able to boot to the desktop now, I would ask you install the updates one by one andcheck the update is at the origin of the conflict.
     
    Method 3.
    If the bows persists please verify if you are able to boot safe mode.
     
     
    If the problem exists not in Mode safe run mode startup minimum troubleshooting to find the root cause of the problem.

  • After the 38.0.5 update, firefox is very slow!

    It happens after update to 38.0.5. I disabled "Hardware accelerate", also using the latest video driver. Please fix this.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and allow your firewall to ask permission to get access full and unrestricted, again to install for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    See:

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

  • Which is better to have several user accounts from window for the same person, so having much Firefoxes or have much Firefoxes under a Windows account user?

    Right now I have about 6 window user accounts (just for me on a single computer) because I didn't know I could put more Firefox then one per account. I leave the tabs upward when I close Firefox, because if I just bookmarks I won't finish my work I was doing with these sites. Now that I know how to put multiple Firefoxes under a user account. That would make my computer fast or not, it matter if I put all my Firefoxes on a window user account or have 6 windows user accounts, each with their own Firefox?
    -Thank you

    It is more work to move to a different Windows account and then open another instance of Firefox with a different profile.
    If you only use other windows accounts for the use of Firefox like this and not for any other purpose, then there is nothing against the passage to a single Windows account to make it easier to manage such things as the backup of your personal data or copy data between the other profiles.

    So, it's up to you if you want to switch to a single Windows account.

    Hello Pierre,.

    I suggest that you look at this article from Microsoft that can help solve a slow internet connection:
  • I installed windows 7 32 bit on my computer. But I want only to 64-bit

    I installed windows 7 32 bit on my computer. But I want only to 64-bit. But unfortunately I lost the installation disc. How can I upgrade?

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
