  • Visual Studio 2008 Pro takes a long time to start after the installation of measurement Studio 2009

    After installing Measurement Studio 2009, I noticed that it takes a long time (30-60 seconds) to open a Visual Studio project.

    I do not have an internet connection on my development computer and suspect he might be waiting on some kind of operation of the network to time out.  I had problems with Visual Studio in the past as well and had to work around them by adding entries to my hosts file (to redirect some addresses of Microsoft to the local IP address - this causes network operations to expire immediately).

  • 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.

  • First pro takes a long time to open

    Hello

    I recently installed the latest version of first (2015.4) on a Windows 7 x 64 service pack 1.

    Config: Intel (r) CPU Xeon X 5660 2.80 GHz 2.80 GHz (2processors).  -40 GB of RAM

    There's a blackmagic decklink which works well with the first. An internal RAID5 have been added to the computer.

    When I try to launch the pro first by clicking on the icon or open a project, the startup screen and load the stuffs, everything looks good. When he writes "initialization of the application", the splash screen disappears. The first pro icon is not highlighted more. Adobe Premiere pro is still in process in the Manager list task. Nothing happens for 10-15 minutes. After that first pro appears and everything works in it...

    I cleaned the trash prefs and uninstalled, reinstalled Premiere pro.

    He not take this time early in the week, he was quick and direct. I don't have this problem for other adobe (for example media encoder) applications.

    Thanks in advance to pay attention to my problem.

    A few thoughts that come to mind are to check and remove any third-party firewall and antivirus.

    You could also try creating a new user account Admin and see how it works there.

  • The system preference takes a long time to load

    As the title suggests, end of 2013 (10.11.4) System Preferences on my iMac takes a long time to load, even after a fresh reinstall and/or reboot (tried both). It takes about 20 seconds to one minute each time to open (except when I close it and immediately open it once again, as it is always loaded in memory). This problem existed only after the upgrade to El Capitan, and I saw many other people with iMacs with the same problem. I tried to remove cache for before system preferences files, but that did not help at all. I don't have a FileVault if it makes a difference, even if I did before reinstall, but never turned back (persistent question anyway). Any recommendations would be useful. Thank you!

    Data sheet:

    iMac (end 2013)

    Intel Core i5 at 2.7 GHz

    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    1 TB 5400 RPM HARD DRIVE

    Intel Pro Iris 1536 MB

    I found it is the State of affairs in 10.11 if running a HD spinning.  Don't feel alone.

    I suspect that it is a function of low priority in the memory compressed algorithm.

    Upgrading to an SSD and it will rise to attention.

  • iPad Pro takes so long to load! Any tips?

    Compared to my iPad 2 Air, which would take between 2 to 3 hours to recharge of 10-15% to 100%, my newish Pro iPad seems to take a long time to recharge using the same percentages. I started to charge about 4 and a half hours ago and went from 13% to 42%.

    I'm user of the actual adapter that came with the Air 2 and USB cable to Lightening it is certified Apple made by iORANGE for-E, with its nylon sheathed cable, as each Apple cable to twist and become useless. I have been using the same charger and cord for months with my Air 2 with no problems. Is there a difference between adapter load for the Pro and Air 2? Has anyone else noticed a difference? It drives me crazy! I SLEEP not long enough at night to fully charge the iPad!

    Any help or solution?

    On a positive note: I watched my first movie on this monster last week and was digging in my purse to find my beats headphones but on accidentally film and I got my first taste of four speakers. No need, unless you are in public, for other speakers, earphones, headphones, etc.. The film had every flavor of sound recording and massage available. And he looked fantastic, as well.

    Someone wrote that he should have been a "ProOS" written for this device. There is clearly more power under the hood for some more exotic features.

    Sigh. 43% done. This is not acceptable. I hope that you guys or girls can achieve a simple solution for this... Because that sending the machine to Apple is not the solution you are looking for!

    Thank you

    Clinton

    Make sure that you do not use the iPad Pro while it loads and make sure that the iPad is going to sleep and the screen will Dim.

    The iPad Pro should charge from zero to full load in 4-1/2 to 5 hours.

  • Devices and printers takes a long time to open

    In Windows 7, the devices and printers open almost instantly. In Windows 8 Pro x 64, devices and printers takes almost 30 seconds to open, and it takes a long time whenever I open it. How can I shorten the time required for the devices and printers to open?

    Before you answer, please note the following:
    • I don't get an error message when I open devices and printers.
    • I have not made any recent hardware or software changes to the computer.
    • I experience the same behavior when Windows 8 starting in a boot environment.

    My problem is solved.

    Instead of wasting time on generic solutions, I should look for a specific cause from the start. In my case, the problem was with my scanner. In devices and printers, I open my scanner and selected properties of analysis. On the events under Actions tab, Windows had chosen to 'Interrogate what program to run.' I changed it to "Start this program" and choose my scanner software in the drop-down list.
    Devices and printers now opens almost instantly.
  • Video takes a LONG time

    Howdy, everyone. I am currently shopping around for a video editing application, and I'm using the trial version of Adobe Premiere Elements. I love everything about it so far, except for one thing. It takes a long time to save the final video file (from the tab share). I noticed he gets to 50% fairly quickly, probably within five minutes and at that time there the progress bar slows down to a crawl. It takes more than two hours for the last 50% complete. Is this rare or should I wait?

    Here's a little history of my project, in case this is useful.

    The video project is a little less than 30 minutes.

    On the sharing tab, I selected to export files for viewing on computers.

    The type of video I want is WMV (Windows Media). I can vary from this format. It is a requirement of the project.

    Image size: 1024 x 768. At the moment I can't vary that size. The video must be 1024 x 768.

    Frame rate: 30 fps

    Audio: mono 48 kbps, 44 kHz, CBR

    Codec: Windows Media 9

    Encoding Passes: 1

    Bitrate Mode: Constant (I also tried of Variable quality, but noticed no difference in time rendering)

    Maximum flow: 200 Kbps (the first time I tried 2 000 kbit/s, but I noticed no difference in time rendering)

    Image quality: 3 (I also tried 90 but once again without any perceptible difference when rendering time)

    My laptop:

    Windows XP Pro SP3

    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz

    2 GB of RAM

    The window says that I would wait the video size to be 53MB in size, which seems reasonable. But when it finishes, it is more than ten times greater than this estimate. I don't understand why the file size is so big and the render time is so long.

    My rendering time is governed or strangled because I am using a trial version of Premiere Elements?

    If this is not the case, what suggestions you all for me? Am I be unreasonable while waiting for my render times to be faster than the duration of the video?

    Thanks in advance for your help. Please let me know if I can provide any other details.

    WMV is a highly compressed format/CODEC, and the duration of the treatment will depend on several factors:

    Your CPU, which is not as powerful in your case

    Your auxiliary I/o system, which is probably a single HDD on your laptop

    The source footage. What is your source footage?

    No effect added to the images. You have all the effects?

    Each of them will have an impact on the time required.

    The trial is that a single main limitation - watermark. Now, there are some components that need to be triggered, but are not tested, but they would not obvious with the import of your source footage, if it is a question.

    Good luck

  • Starting the server takes a long time due to the storage of JMS persistence files

    Hello

    We use WebLogic 9.2 on a windows machine.
    Recently, we have improved our request to work with JMS.
    We are on 2 different servers in a cluster using 2 JMS servers and works with distributed destinations.
    We use file storage as our persistence store.

    Recently, we found boot server takes a long time because of the actions that are performed on the storage of files.
    Analysis of this problem, we have seen that the size of the file is of ~ 2 GB.
    We understand that the file size does not fear (unless it is compacted manually), and its size matches the largest number ever of pending messages in the queues (as a mark of high tide).
    We shot also store debugging, using weblogic. Debug.DebugStoreIOPhysical and we saw a lot of recovery after newspapers file storage is open.
    We have checked and checked our JMS transactions are completed successfully. We also checked that the current messages and number of courses is 0.
    We stopped the server gracefully, check that there are no messages pending.
    However, several times takes start server ~ 30 minutes due to heavy work on the persistence store.
    Compaction or remove storage of files eliminates the delay.
    However, we want to avoid the manual operations whenever we want to start the server.

    Please share your ideas.

    Thank you
    Itsik

    The only suggestions I have off the top of my head are:

    * Ensure (1) the host system has at least 2 GB (the store file size) memory physics in addition to the memory used by the current process, and (2) the host system is not rebooted between each restart WebLogic. If you ensure that both of these, then the operating system puts implicitly cached content of the file of the store in memory even between boots - when WebLogic starts subsequently storing files, the o/s should be the content of the file much more quickly.

    * You can move to a JDBC store. Runtime JDBC store performance are lower, but since you have generally has only a small amount of records to retrieve, startup performance should be higher in this case.

    * Not that it helps your case, but it happens that we have significant performance improvements of starting process for a future version (if all goes well a near future release).
