  According to the specifications of your system, hard drives on your system are disks IDE (not the SATA drives).

  Sometimes the Interface IDE mode can change from DMA mode to PIO mode and when that happens, things sudden. run very slowly, but it is easy to check and adjust if you need to.

  Here's how:

  If you are using IDE drives, use Device Manager to check the channel Transfer Mode IDE is set to something like DMA if available (depends on your hardware) and the slow PIO mode.
    
  Don't forget: PIO is the slowest, DMA is faster.

  It is easy to check and usually easy to fix and the mode would not have changed in itself, so if she changed to PIO, change it to DMA, and then understand why it changed and fix it.

  To launch the Device Manager console, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\System32\devmgmt.msc

  Click OK.

  Expand the section controller IDE / ATA to see your IDE channels. Each right click and choose Properties for each channel that has a tab advanced settings, determine the Transfer Mode. There are usually 4 channels to check in a desktop computer, maybe less for laptops.

  Faster selection will always be a kind of selection DMA (usually: DMA DMA5, UDMA, etc.).  If it is PIO, change it to DMA.
    
  If you are unsure of what you see after return of help and advice.
    
  If you make settings, restart and check the settings again to make sure that any change stick.

• Firefox has become very slow. It takes a lot of time to load any website. I reinstalled FF but the fleeting problem.

  Firefox has become very slow. It takes a lot of time to load any website. I reinstalled FF but the rest of the problem.
  As a test, I downloaded Chrome and it is much faster.
  But I love FF and would be very happy if you can help me solve this problem.

  Hi Reos,

  When you reinstall Firefox it always uses your old profile with all the old things that you had. That said, you're lucky, there is a new feature that lets you "Reset" of Firefox. This will remove some of the pieces that might cause problems while it keeps your bookmarks and other important things safe.

  Check it out and let me know if it works: Refresh Firefox – reset the parameters and modules

• Why youtube videos do not take a lot of time to load

  YOU TUBE QUESTION

  Please explain why some clips (on You Tube) that run a few minutes long can take ages (10-15 minutes) to load while others as long are ready for display in a minute or two.  My laptop speed is up to 54 Mbps and the intensity of the signal very good to excellent.

  Thank you very much.
  Joe

  Three possibilities, I see...

  (1) your internet connection speed can be much slower
  as you thought. Have you checked the connection speed
  at the dax1792 site posted online?

  (2) you can be located a long way from the server.

  (3) there may be a very high on the site or the net traffic
  congestion at the peak hours of the day.

  As for the different load from one clip to another time...
  I can only guess what would be the difference in the way in which the
  video has been encoded. Some are of much better quality than
  others.

  FWIW... my connection speed average somewhere around
  20 Mbps and YouTube video clips play instantly for me.

  Download the clips to your hard disk and viewing
  There may be a solution.

  See you soon.

• Windows 7 takes an abnormally long time to load the switch user screen

  After selecting change user in the menu closed, it takes about 30 seconds to actually load the screen of the user on the switch.  Meanwhile, the screen is black and there is no mouse cursor.  I don't remember it takes that long in the past, but I can't be sure.  It doesn't seem fair that it takes so long to load the screen of the user on the switch.

  I recently ran CCleaner and defragged my hard drive in order to fix this problem without success.

  Any help or input is appreciated.

  My system takes 20 seconds for the closing of session and prepare for a new user. A lot depends on what must be stopped as to how long it takes, and all systems will be different, so there is no default time. I also have the black screen and no cursor...
   
  CCleaner and that ilke programs rarely fix anything and are more likely to create new problems rather than fix the existing problems, this is why I say "do not use".
   
  Disk Cleanup is a safer way to get rid of some unnecessary things.
   
  /Sfc scannow will replace the corrupted system files

• VMWare Workstation 7 (retail version) takes more than 20 seconds to load

  I am new to the community, so I hope I gave enough information background with my problem.

  When I was using VMWare Workstation 7 RC, enforcement would literally load in a few seconds. Because I bought the "expedition" of the 7 Workstation version, the program takes more than 20 seconds to load. However, once loaded, it works fine with virtual machines - but it is such an inconvenience.

  Here are my computer specs:

  Intel Core Duo Quad core CPU, 8 GB of RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit edition.

  Actions I take so far:

  I made a correct uninstallation of the RC, rebooted version and then install the retail version of Workstation 7. I also noticed that Workstation 7 interferes with Ccleaner (by Piraform). When I run Ccleaner, I get "unexpected error" messages and the program will not work correctly. So I uninstalled Ccleaner, but this has not fixed the problem with long load times. I also used the MSCONFIG Utility (such as published in a KB article) and hidden all the MS services and disabled the restrestarted, but it does not resolve the problem, either.

  Today, I made a Workstation 7 unistall and reinstalled Workstation 7, but same problem long loadtime. I am so puzzled as to why the RC version worked like lightning, and the retail version is so slow. All my other applications on my PC load and run fast as lightning.

  Have others experienced this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions, what else can be done to solve this problem?

  It seems you're having some sort of problem with the configuration of the proxy.  Your newspaper IU has:

  13:42:26.768 Nov 02: vmui | -VMware Workstation for Windows: install 7.0.0(-1) = new update = no!  URL = "id ="ws-windows"

  13:42:40.433 Nov 02: vmui | CDS warning: could not use file CAP or automatic proxy detection.

  Use a proxy server?  If so, could you try go to control panel > network and Internet > Internet Options > connections > LAN Settings and either:

  A. Unchecking "automatically detect settings".

  B. explicitly specify a proxy server manually

  ?

  Or try running workstation and will change > Preferences > updates and unchecking "check new software components according to the needs.

  Try this.

  import flash.display. *;
  import flash.net.URLRequest;
  public function addHTML (): void {}
  if(HTMLLoader.pdfCapability == HTMLPDFCapability.STATUS_OK)
  {
  var htmlLoad: HTMLLoader = new HTMLLoader();

  htmlLoad.width = 800;
  htmlLoad.height = 800;
  htmlLoad.load (urlReq);
  addChild (htmlLoad);
  }
  on the other
  {
  trace ("PDF cannot be displayed. Error code: "(, HTMLLoader.pdfCapability);"
  }
  }

• dm4x windows 7 takes 15 min to load, but then everything is normal

  Last night I closed my laptop (dm4x) with the Start button, and then I closed the lid of my portable computer before the computer completely closed. I think that it shutted down, even if when I close my lid it usually goes to sleep. So today, when I turn on my computer, everything goes well until after I connect to windows. After that I put in my password/use my fingerprint reader, I get the blue windows which comes before windows load for about 2 min and then I get a black screen for about 10 min then a my bar of tasks, icons of office and windows side bar (very slow) charge. Once all the loading, my laptop works perfectly - no lags, no weird stuff. Any ideas what went wrong and how to fix it?

  Hello

  In the Menu start, open the all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  In at the prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.

  sfc/scannow                (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)

  Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.  Restart the computer and see if it loads now the operating system normally.

  Kind regards

• two other programs to lose control of cursor when loading firefox. Nitro pdf & on display at take-off from the software Center. Help, please

  two other programs to lose control of cursor when loading firefox. Nitro pdf & on screen takeoff on center software. Help, please.

  When I use the programs listed above and firefox is loaded, scrolling through these programs takes me at the edge of the window. I can't scroll 3 lines I can when FF is not loaded. I hate to say it, but FF is certainly the culprit.

  OK, if I may ask, what also happened when Firefox is in Mode safe? That will do this troubleshooting step, is whether this is caused by an add on that you have in your profile. Questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode

  Moreover, the fact happen on the touchpad, as well as with an external mouse (if it's a laptop, if not, please ignore)Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and solve problems

  Does this happen with accelerated scrolling on? This setting is in preferences/Options > Advanced Options > general

  Please post back with your results, thank you!

• Firefox slowing down to stop (for > 1.5 min) to load the site and freezes any Ubuntu 11.10, modern system.

  Hi guys,.

     I have been using Ubuntu 11.10 since it was beta with no problems.  I have been regularly updating everything, and keep a clean track with sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get clean.  Even with all updates, firefox was running completely fine until just last week.  If an update came out in the last month, that may be it.  My updates are up to the month at least.
     As soon as I open firefox, it pretends to load, before freezing (and turning gray).  At that point, my entire system hangs.  I have updated everything.  I have apt-get remove firefox'ed, apt-get autoremove/clean, then apt-get install firefox'd.  I have started in firefox -safe-mode with all options checked.  I have, of course, rebooted several times.  I have run firefox without, then after deleting every, add-on.  I have even searched for log files in .mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports, but found none (a bunch of tmp and extra files).  I've tried starting firefox under Ubuntu classic instead of Unity.  These are all my online searches have found.
     I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on Intel i7-960 in an Intel DX58SO2 with 8gb mem, and EVGA superclocked pci-express video adapter.  nvidia is properly configured.  No other program at all hangs but firefox, which is why I'm here and not in the Ubuntu forums.
     Thank you for your help.
  

  I followed the advice of one of the posts
  here , to rename the folder .mozilla and it worked. I would like to add, however, that it's very embarrassing and all your custom settings and bookmarks and Favorites etc. will be wiped. I would like to know what causes this, and my satisfaction with firefox is declining.
  Still better than IE...
