Mouse Speed
Oct 3, 2009
Ever since installing Vista I seem to have lost control of the mouse speed. Even changing it in Vista does not fix it. The double click is so fast, that 95% of the time is performs a double click when I did not want it to. This is SO damn annoying. It is an older Microsoft mouse with the light and wheel and buttons on the side for going back and forth in Explorer and on the Internet. I think it was called Intellipoint, or something like that. Anyhow, does anyone know if this is a bug?

I just bought a new pc with Vista Home Premium, it came with: 1GB PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM, expandable to 4GB. I wanted more memory so I bought a 2GB kit PC2-*5300* DDR2 SDRAM, because it was on sale for $60. The 6400 speed would have cost me over $200. The salesman assured me it would work fine and I wouldn't notice any difference. I installed it when I got home and everything works great, no problems. But I still can't stop wondering if the difference in speed WOULD matter. Can anyone explain, or provide a link explaining, when, if ever, I would benefit from the faster memory. I mostly use my PC for surfing the web, email, and some photo editing.

I have Vista x64 Ultimate and I'm having internet connection issues. My laptop is the HP Pavillion dv7. My ISP tells me everything is fine on his end. I have a router (Linksys model BEFW11S4) 2.4 Ghz - 802.11b. When I connect the wire from my modem directly to my laptop, I get internet speeds of 900 Kbps. But when I use the router, the speed goes down to 300 Kbps. Is there a setting in Vista that could be doing this? According to Linksys, I should be able to attain 900 Kbps with the router. The laptop comes with a wireless adapter (Intel Wi-Fi Link 5100AGN).

I have an old Logitech but fully functional mouse (cordless optical).
When I ran Vista x86 Ultimate, I installed a small program that allowed me to double-click with middle mouse button. Now, with Vista x64 Ultimate, it doesn't work anymore.
Do someone know another small program to allow me that?

I installed the following ram on my PC OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail.
I have also installed the NVIDIA system monitor.
My question:
Why does my computer recognize the RAM at 800mhz (this shows on boot up and in the Nvidia monotor) when my motherboard supports 1066 and the ram is also 1066.
I have a p7n diamond 780i motherboard from MSI.

I still see the spinning wheel and can't do a thing until it goes away. I double click and MP3 file spinning wheel until Winamp fires up, which used to take no time now I don't know what it's doing but takes longer and still can't do anything with a $800 computer until the wheel stops turning.

I have a trusty laptop running Vista Ultimate with 2 Gb RAM. When I first got it it ran programmes like Mozilla Firefox and the Office Suite rapidly, opening the apps quickly when required. Over time programmes began to slow down upon opening. I also tried the new Windows 7 which was OK but had a few drawbacks. So I bit the bullet and re-set my machine back to how it was when it was new.
Reloaded my apps and data files, speed returned. Now it's slowing up again after only 4 months. do these proprietary programs like Norton etc actually clean up the computer and restore its trusty speed in opening apps? If so, which one have you found to be the best in practice?

Every single Windows Vista presentation and demo I have seen has always included the new Flip 3D, alt+tab replacement. This is a cool feature that really helps you switch between windows when you have a lot open but for some, it can be a choppy experience. If you have a low end graphics card you may experience dropped frames resulting in a choppy animation experience while flipping through your windows. One easy way to make Flip 3D perform much better is to limit the number of windows it draws on your screen.
Follow the steps below to speed up Flip 3D on your computer:
Click on the Start Button, key in regedit and hit Enter....

I'm using Flashget and when I try to download (currently a .torrent file) the speed remains LESS THAN 1KB and the time Left is 00:00:00!!!! Anyone else use FlashGet 1.9? When I was installing it I placed in another Drive (non-OS). How can I optimize the settings to get the most out of my connection (512kbps)? I already have given it an exception from Windows Firewall.

I recently bought this game and I have small issue. My system overcomes the equired needs but the game still won't run smoothly I tried to lower the details, resolution, and all of that didn't help. There are moments that it runs smooth, yet in another minute there's a drop of gameplay speed, though the frame counter in Fraps reports that framerate is i.e. 40fps. Today I also tried the latest WHQL NVidia drivers - 180.48. Unfortunately this didn't render any positive effect in the game. GPU temp while gaming doesn't exceed 54C...

I'm new here with a problem that has popped up last night. Up until last night my web pages and everything was loading up in my Firefox browser pretty fast. Today things are loading up slow and with I go on to a news source to watch a video...the videos stop and go making the news video not worth watching. A couple of minutes I was looking at something on here where it said to use "cmd" command to get into something. It was set on "ultrarestrictive" and I changed it to "normal" but haven't seen much difference in how things are working. The other day I downloaded UTorrent on my computer but today I uninstalled it. Could UTorrent have messed something up?

The "problem" - Vista boot times. The fastest Ive ever managed to get it was 25 seconds, thats from the moment you see the green bar, to the moment the desktop appears. Ive all features on (effects etc) along with the sidebar, resolution is 1290 (?) x 1080 on a 50" plasma TV. Now granted, 25 seconds isnt long to wait, however what I DONT understand is how my girlfriends Sony Vaio laptop (around 1.5ghz dualcore, 1GB RAM) loads Vista (all be it 32bit) in 19 seconds.
Surely having 8GB RAM means faster boot times? I originally thought that my RAM was too slow (533mhz) so upgraded to 800mhz (fastest I can go) but no effect. I then read about Raptor drives being FAST, so installed one purely for the OS, it makes marginal difference. Ive altererd the boot to show 4 processors, timeout delay 3 seconds, nothing to be started at startup.
Ive even installed a stripped down version of Vista 64 HomePremium, taking out loads of things I dont use, again doesnt make that much of a difference. Ive heard of others getting their system to load (with the same config as mine) in 12 seconds?!! Again, yes this is truly, truly picky, but hoep someone can shed some light on this forum as to why a system 4 times faster and more powerfull.. takes longer to boot up?

I have a Lenovo T400 - T9400 (2.53 GHz C2D) - 4GB DDR3-1066 - Vista Business x64
How can I speed up my Vista boot time? Currently it takes between 75-85 seconds to boot into a usable state.
Once in Vista, my laptop is very fast, and I have no complaints.
I did a clean install of Vista.
I've already disabled many services and startup programs.
I did a bunch of little tweaks I found on different sites as well like disabling indexing, tmm, system restore.
The main thing that seems to be slowing the boot process is between the BIOS and login prompt.
There is a period of at least 15-20 seconds where the screen is black or barely doing anything before it jumps to login.
I tried going into the BIOS and making sure things are in order. I put the HD as the first boot device instead of CD (probably didn't save much time).
Is there something I can do to speed that time up?

I have a Dell D500 with the Intel Pentium M @ 1.3 GHz. Lately my pc has been acting slow and I ran CPU-Z to check the clock and it said that it is running at 598.6 MHz. I was wondering why? I when into the BIOS and it is set at 1.3 Ghz as the CPU speed, but the SpeedStep is turned on. Is speedstep causing this to happen? If so, other than turning it off in the BIOS, which it wont let me allow, is there any way of overriding this. Right now it has Windows XP Home SP3 installed with 768 DDR RAM. I am using the "Always on" config in the power options btw.
I tried to update the BIOS but it wont let me since my battery is dead and wont says its not connected for some reason. Even if conncected to the AC outlet doesnt seem to matter.

My internet server is Verizon FIOS running at 10 MB/S. I noticed that my download speed is much, much slower than my old computer which was a Dimension 8400 Pentium 4 630 (3 GHz) with 1 GB RAM. I first contacted Verizon and they uploaded software to measure download speed. It showed that I was downloading at close to the rated 10 MB/S. I also loaded Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) to speed up downloads but files still are only being received about 100-200 KB/S.
I tried contacting Dell Tech Support but they seemed to have no idea and blamed it on software in the computer. Other than the Vista Operating System and software preloaded by Dell. I have the same software that was on my older XP which I never
measured but downloaded visibly faster. Could this slowdown be caused by Vista?

I got my internet speed slower and limited! I dunno how, but it just change very drastically. Why i just know that is that my roomate, use his own laptop but he has an internet speed 8 times faster!! He use Win XP on his laptop. It happen when i installed a McAfee Enterprise 8.7i in my laptop. Before the installation progress, my Internet speed is as fast as my roomate does. But it suddenly happen like that and i got system restore but it useless. So, my question is, how can i got my internet speed to normal.

I just got a new Vista computer and I found that my DSL speed was abnormally slow. I called the ISP and they said to turn off the firewall. This fixed it. I wasn't aware a firewall could affect your modem speed so much. The XP firewall had never done that.

I have a siemens Amilo laptop with a built in wireless card. It can see the network and asks for the network key but doesn't connect. It just times out. Although it finds all the networks available in the area they all display without any green bars in the speed bars. It seems to have no wireless power. The green bars are all grey instead of green even when the laptop is stood next to the router. I have another laptop that connects without any problems. I have removed the drivers from device manager and reinstalled them from the
drivers folder. This made no difference.

Today i bought a hdtv tuner for my laptop. It is an expresscard digital tv tuner made by kaiser baas, a company i have never heard of. the side of it says that the system requirement for the proccessor is 2.4 ghz. My laptop has an expresscard slot that supports both card formats. My proccesser is an intel centrino core 2 duo proccessor at 2.0 ghz. Because it is a core 2 duo, does that mean i can support 2.4 even though myne says 2.0 ghz? if i open the cover i can't bring it back. I have read the other requirements. it says directx 9.0, but I'm using Vista, does that mean I already have directx 9.0 cause I have installed many games like halo and age of empires 3.

I've encountered an issue with my networking where my 1Gbps LAN has it's speed capped at 54Mbps. I'm using a laptop with a 1Gbps NIC and 54Mbps WIFI adapter. The WIFI is connected to an wireless access point (network 1). The 1Gbps NIC is connected to another network. Both networks are private. The networks are not connected. While transferring between my laptop and a Windows XP box that is only on the 1Gbps network I've noticed the speed stays at a constant 54Mbps during the entire transfer. I'm wondering why the speed of an 1Gbps network is being capped at 54Mbps.
