• Windows 7 x 64 extremely slow start and the screen 'welcome. '

  Hello!
  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500:

  Intel C2D 2.5 GHz
  4 GB DDRII 800 MHz RAM
  400 GB 5400 RPM Toshiba HDD
  ATi 4650 GPU

  I have Windows 7 Pro X 64 OS real, through MSDNAA

  The boot takes 17-21 seconds on the Welcome screen (20-30 seconds ' welcome'), then 1-3 minutes on open office.
  I have all the drivers installed, I tried to start the removal of unnecessary startup programs, but it's the same thing, only 1-5 second faster.
  I reinstalled my OS several times, the HARD drive is in AHCI mode, but I tried to 'Compatibility', but does not solve the problem.
  After bootlogo, there is very high HARD drive activity (people with disabilities search indexer and superfetch too)
  With x 86 startup is about 1 min.

  I suggest a bit of required diagnosis. Try this [how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7 | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135]

• Very slow start and run for Dell Inspiron 6400 XP times

  "I have a problem with an Inspiron 6400 brought to ' horribly slow start and run time.  XP Pro 32 bit SP3 patched up to date.  Cleaned up a lot of "undesirable", as the partially uninstalled programs, cleaned the files temporary etc. with CCleaner, cleaned and optimized the registry afer all the cleaning has been done, defragmented, tried to start without any of the boot files, disabled all unnecessary services and uninstalled virus checking software, (but ran several anti-virus controls) etc. - no help.   Safe Start Mode is faster, but... not at all normal - 1 1/2 minutes of screen to logon instead of close to 3 minutes.  A lot of memory (2 GB), which rises to 600 to 700 MB runnng all the stuff I've tried.  Hard drive is 1/3 used out of 120 GB with a 2 GB swap file.

  One thing I'm still scratching my head over - beyond the horribly slow boot - is very slow access to files even though everything seems to work normally, but as molasses in January.  Looking at the performance of the Task Manager tab when I run a copy of a file (whether via a cmd window or with Windows Explorer), I see a near max processor would be and the other with a small business.  Even if the customer says he had been getting worse for some time, after checking and cleaning of all things 'normal', my next thought was perhaps a bad disk or disk controller driver, but chkdsk ran very well (although it took hours) even if I ' d I have already updated all drivers (and even the DVD firmware and BIOS) on the Dell web site.  Oh, and I ran Dell Diagnostics (from bootable CD) updates all with no errors found.  And access to the slow file even with symptoms had max-processor occur with a copy of the file on a USB key that seems to eliminiate the hard disk, the disk controller and the pilot.

  The other interesting part of the display for a file copy task manager is that the processes tab simply shows System Idle 97 to 99%, with a percentage of casual for other processes as Explorer while I see 1 max out procesor on the performance tab.  That the same copy on your desktop shows 3-4% of the CPU usage and who is with active antivirus software.  I'm almost ready to fall toward a Windows reinstall, but would like to find the real reason behind this problem of puzzle...

  It of almost as if he's using PIO instead of DMA disk access, but... don't know how/where to test this.

  Look at:

  http://Windows-XP-tricks.com/direct-memory-access-DMA-on-IDE-hard-drive.php

  and

  http://winhlp.com/node/10

  Solved!   Thanks for the links, especially to each other.  An old but still a goodie!

  For those who have enquring spirits (and anyone else who stumbles across this thread), the primary IDE controller has been set to PIO and locked it.  Who would have thought that Windows slowly reduced the transfer speed, whenever he saw 6 errors on an IDE device until it has been reduced to PIO and then he locked it?  But the procedures described in the link of winhlp.com showed how to solve the problem.

  There are actually several problems that led to the final symptoms.  According to KB817472, the Atapi.sys has been improved in XP SP2 only degrade the speed of transfer on 6 consecutive errors instead of 6 cumulative errors.  And even though everything I have (Microsoft update) was seen and showed that this area was to SP3, I found that the driver for the controller layer IDE was the SP2 version.  Someone ran sfc previously perhaps?

  Oh, and I know now that the Task Manager process tab does not time processor kernal, but the performance tab.  Good to know...

  Thanks again to all who have responded.  Starting at the time of connection-question now is 40 seconds.   You'll love Untra DMA mode 5.   There is still a lingering question in my mind, since I've had the same symptoms of slow copy of a file on a flash drive.  Perhaps a link in some way to the way that Windows treats a flashdrive as a "drive"...

  Method 1

  Step 1: I suggest to start in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Note: select Safe mode with network.

  Step 2: If the question does not persist in SafeMode with network, then put the computer to boot and check what third-party application's driver is causing the problem:

  Note: after a repair, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

• System is extremely slow when you try to install Windows XP.

  My laptop will Boot but his extremely slow, slow snail.

  My laptop will Boot but his extreme slowness. I have a laptop currently has NO operating system on it because I erased the HARD drive because I had a shit installation of Windows XP Professional x 64 Edition (triple). My specs are Intel SU2700 processor EM64T(1 core) to 1 .3GHz 6 GB of Ram and 320 HARD drive. My problem is that my laptop is running very slowly when you try to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 x 64. The model is Acer aspire 5810TZ. I tried to boot WinPE for ghost, which took 45 minutes, I tried to start another installation CD, same result, Windows 7 installation cd starts, but it is the 'starting Windows' for over half an hour. It seems to be without performance problems when you access the BIOS Setup. I tried to start another medium such as floppy disks, external HARD drives and Flash Drives, same result, I have no idea what to do, the sata mode is in AHCI Mode. IM thinking CPU issues.

  Hello
  I suggest you to contact the computer manufacturer to verify if there are hardware problems.

• Firefox does not account settings to open the home page to start and open rather the previous tabs

  Opening of Firefox, the browser displays my previous session, despite my selection 'display the homepage' or 'show white screen' on the opening.

  You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder (a detailed list of the system shows that you have) which defines the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once to true.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once

  (I noticed that the mozillaZine knowledge base is down at the time of this posting)

  The user.js file will be present if you or a other software created this file and normally will not present.
  The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

  You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

  You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/profiles

  Windows hides certain default file extensions.
  Among them .html and .ini and .js and .txt, and you can see only a file name without file extension.
  You can check the file extension (type) in the file properties in Windows Explorer via the context menu.

• 10.11.4 slow start and performance.

  Update caused 10.11.4 my iMac (27-inch, mid 2011) no start, after checking with an external start HD found no system errors, flawless HD, no failure of memory. Finally managed to boot into recovery and do an Internet re - install.

  Now I can't boot how whether it's very very slow, at least 10 Minutes, then well that just doesn't seem seem to work it is horribly slow. I was hoping it was indexing, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

  The question seems to be double, very slow startup and very slow performance. The external HD boot was 10.11.3 and seemed to be doing OK, so I have to assume that the question is 10.11.4 as everything else has been validated. All the usual things were made, PRAM, permissions etc.

  At this point I have nowhere to go. BTW, took me 15 minutes to get into this brief overview.

  I had problems with Bluetooth, you see only not my speaker MegaBoom and Photo Booth says "No. Camera connected... so I has the following guidelines.

  Downloaded and installed Mac OS 10.11.4 from scratch

  Then I reset the SMP:

  Reset the SMC on Mac desktops

  Follow these steps for iMac, Mac mini, Mac Pro and Xserve.

  1. Stop the Mac.
  2. Unplug the power cord.
  3. Wait 15 seconds.
  4. Reconnect the power cord.
  5. Wait 5 seconds, then press the power button to turn on the Mac.

  Reset the SMC a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro retina or the MacBook Pro with an internal non-removable battery

  This is how to reset the SMC on most modern Mac laptops, which none have a removable battery:

  1. Stop your MacBook Air / MacBook Pro
  2. Plug the power adapter to the Mac
  3. On the MacBook / Pro keyboard, hold down the command + Option + shift and the power button at the same time
  4. All the keys and the power button of output at the same time - the little light on the MagSafe adapter can change colors briefly to indicate that the MSC has reset
  5. Start your Mac as usual

  Keep in mind that by resetting the SMC you lose specific power settings, like the time he takes sleep a Mac and other customizations to the power settings. Not much, but if you have made many changes to your behavior of material you want to address things like behavior of sleep again.

  Boot time after resetting a SMC machines can be a little longer that usual, it's normal.

  Stop and start again, and this fixed everything for me...
