After installing these two updates: .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB959209) x64 Update to .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 for the .NET Framework Assistant x64 (KB963707), The performance of my PC drastically slowed down during start-up and running of other processes and programs. I decided to uninstall them; and the performance seemed to be back to normal. My question is: Are these updates really necessary for my PC; do I absolutely need them?

View 7 Replies View Relatedmy internet is really slow, downloading at 15 KB/s instead of 150 KB/s. My housemate uses the same wireless router and his connection is fine. I initially thought it was due to 1 of the 8 vista updates that auto-installed when i first rebooted, but after uninstalling them, and also trying a system restore, internet was still slow.
View 4 Replies View RelatedLast Thursday my pc downloaded and installed the latest set of updates and since then the Internet speed has been sluggish at best and non-existant at worst.
I contacted my ISP and they did all their tests and announced that the signal was good and I might have a virus, so I got a bit paranoid and ran scan after scan (after the nightmare of trying to get the latest updates). I ran these with Zone Alarm Extreme and Spyware Doctor (but not together) and all the results were clean.
So I'm wondering if the latest Updates are to blame; one of the kids' laptops has exactly the same problem (he uses a router while I use a cable) and he downloaded the updates at the same time.
Interestingly the other kid's laptop seems to be untouched, but he has 32 bit Vista as opposed to our 64 bit, and it appears that we're all using different browsers (IE8, Mozilla and Chrome)
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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a fairly typical home wireless network. My main desktop on IP 192.168.1.2 is connected by ethernet to my router. My laptop is wirelessly connected and has IP 192.168.1.3. My desktop is running Apache/MySql with a local web in htdocs/myweb. If I access the local web from my laptop using the IP address as it's very fast, but if I access using the computer name it is unbearably slow - every page load takes forever. What's the explanation for this, and can it be fixed? I am going to be installing this system for a local charity and they won't want to (shouldn't need to) be typing IP addresses.
View 5 Replies View RelatedBeen running Vista x64 for a while with no problems at all ( yes...honestly!!! ) with a Quad Core and 4Gb ram and an internet connection that was as good as I was expecting. A few months back, though, things went downhill very suddenly! Now, it takes 20 minutes plus just to open some websites, and download speeds have dropped to virtually nothing. I am talking dialup speeds on a 2Mb line. Model is a Belkin wireless router, but I am connected to it by cable since the PC is right by the phone line. I have 2 other PC's in the house ( both running XP wirelessly ) One is temporarily offline due to other issues... but the other is connecting normally with no speed problems. I have done the 'google' thing, and disabled the auto-tuning facility, with no noticable improvements............................

My internet is very slow and I cant browse certain sites for example aol.com or aim.com. I have tried many different things browsing other forums, nothing has worked. I have tried going into my network card advanced config settings, I have tried downloaded 64 bit Vista firefox browser I have re booted my modem and my router. I never had this problem with windows vista 32 bit home basic, it has only started happening now that i have re formatted.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've had vista for around 10 months and never really had a problem with the internet but in the last week I've noticed it is running really slowly. No explaination it just runs slow, really slow. I have AVG, stopped running that, I've rolled back recent windows updates, I've done a system restore to last week. My network card has a greyed out rollback button so can't do that.
Also I've ran some speed tests and I get around 250k download and a 690k upload which again is strange, but I've ran the same test on a eeePC running linux and a laptop running XP and get 1mb download with a 690k upload.
I have switched from a Sony Vaio FE41S (2GB/667MHz - Windows XP) to a Dell Inspiron 1545 (3GB - Windows Vista Basic). On my Vaio, I can watch things online such as Sky Player online and TVCatchup, however, on my brand new Dell, the pictures on these websites moves horrifically slow, maybe 1 frame every 10 or 20 seconds, and slows down my entire computer. As soon as I close these things, my computer runs completely fine again. Also, my downloads go between 100-200kb, whereas on my Vaio, they go between 700 and 1,100kbps
I located a few of these problems - McAfee, which I deleted, and this helped to speed up my computer in general, however, I still have not been able to use such websites. I have tried many of the fixes suggested online, such as the various netsh things and getting rid of phishing on IE. I don't have any antivirus anymore and I've checked for things such as viruses and malware.
is it plausible to see a list with all applications that use the network/internet? this because my pc is very quick when the internet is off, but when I start my pc and the internet is on, than it is very slow (for example: I had to wait 30 minutes before I could log in on this site!!!). it's not because of any firewall/antivirus/antispam/antispyware program, because I turned them off.
(it started on the 7th this month, when I found out there were some updates from vista. I even couldn't download them, because everything crashed: desktop, windows update, taskbar, microsoft word, MSN. Since than it happens all the time there is an internetconnection)
I somehow fixed my problem before, but then I reformatted my laptop which I regret now. I've downloaded all the vista upgrades and even tried turning off my firewall. But no matter if I'm using Firefox or IE7 it takes waay too long to load a page. I googled this and I've tried doing the "netsh interface disable" command but that doesn't really work either.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm rather experienced with computers and know its nothing of the obvious. I recently built a new rig, my motherboard is the asus striker II extreme which has dual gigabit lan and the ai teaming technology. I did a fresh install of vista ultimate x86 on the new hard drive, everything running fine and i was achieving maximum internet speed. However after running windows update i noticed the download speed is terrible, approximately 25kb/s on average and i am capable of speeds of up to 650kb/s. After updating all my drivers, running the computer in safe mode, turning off all security and eventually resorting to using a download accelerator my problem persisted. So i thought it must be the update, i wiped the hard drive clean and did a fresh install of vista again, however, before running windows update my speed had actually worsened to around 6kb/s and around 50 or so using a download accelerator.
I had the same OS on my previous setup, same router too, and it worked just fine. I have tried a connection using the wireless pci-e card i had on my previous setup and the dual rj45 cable to my router and even tried it using just one cable. I really can't get my head around whats going on. If anyone has any ideas or experience with this problem, Problem solved! Intels annoying pushpin engineering once again has proven itself to be a ridiculous method of installation. Reapplied some arctic silver 5 and remounted the pins after much effort bending pins into place. Internet speeds are once again optimal!
ever since I started using Windows Vista I've had a low internet download speed (not the amount that I'm paying for). I know this isn't a problem with my ISP because on my other computer that has Windows XP, the internet connection is just fine.
I've tried the following tutorials:
Auto Tuning - TCP/IP receive level
QoS Bandwidth Reserve Limit
Neither of them have resolved my problem. My download speed is the only problem, the upload speed is "normal". I'm paying for 8Mbps but I get 0.5-2Mbps on my Vista system. I have my modem directly connected to my computer, through one of the two Ethernet ports on my computer.
I down loaded the Internet Explorer 8, is it normal to take 13 seconds to open?
I did not time the I.E. 7, but it was a lot faster to open. Furthermore, I did not notice any improvements.
I'm running build 5384 on a Dell Precision 370 and a Precision 380.

The machines both have Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit NIC's connected to Dell Powerconnect Gigabit switches.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am very PC-Challenged when it comes to Networking & Internet and I have 2 problems at the office that you may be able to help me with. We have a small business package from AT&T (used to be bellsouth), one of those lines if a dedicated ADSL broadband, each line has a filter and we also have a Netopia ADSL router (motorola 3347-02-1006L) + linksys Gigabit 8 port switch.
There is 1 server (Windows 2000 Server OS w/SP4) and 3 workstations running XP Pro w/SP3 (2GB's of Ram all up to date with drivers and MS updates... I make sure of that). The server sits very close to my workstation as I have a KVM switch to adjust or make changes on it and to utilize only 1 monitor + kb/mouse. This is the first issue we have: (Gibabit Ethernet adapters on workstations)
One of my partners claims that if my computer is off, the software we use to sell our products runs very fast on his computer but, as soon as I turn on my workstation and I load the software, his speeds show significant downtime (slowness?). Again, not being very knowledgeable at networking I find this to be annoying but illogical at the same time
I have been using IE7 for a year and a half. No problems. Now it takes twenty seconds to load, and each time I visit a site it's slow, and it often freezes on me. I installed Canon software for 8600 scanner, and that started my IE7 problem. I have since removed the program but IE7 still is slow. What can I do to correct this? Can I uninstall IE7 and reinstall? What do look for that the software installation might have left on my computer? Might add that Foxfire works fine.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've checked through other threads and I'm not sure if any one else has this same issue. I suspect the problem comes from a Windows Update. I'm not sure how to reload an update and I'd rather not uninstall and delete and reinstall and change things when I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing. Everything else works fine. Web surfing is smooth, there isn't any problems loading programs ever since I restored factory setting from Gateway, because of the same issue. I had to restore from the hard drive because the disc (Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP1) refused to work. I think that's because somehow my computer isn't 32-bit, its 64-bit. Then after going through setup and all the updates, SAME ISSUE!
It could be Media Player, Internet Explorer, or Adobe Flash. I get the feeling its a corrupt update, or one of those programs isn't compatible with Vista 64-bit. Those programs load (Adobe not so well) and I didn't put them there or upgrade them, Windows Update keeps on top of that. Also, this problem may have been there awhile, or just started. I know I just started to notice it. Then I checked with an older version of Windows on a different computer and yeah, that movie trailer loaded and played like mine used to. So I'm almost positive its my system not the website.
With UAC active the internet is unexceptibally slow. Personal setting do not stick in Windows Explorer. For no reason when setting do stick they will revert back to defaults. So, upgrading to Vista SP1 has not fixed my issues. Was a waste of time
View 9 Replies View RelatedHad an old PC running windows xp. Worked fine connected to my router using ethernet and powerline adaptors. Bought a PC from a mate running Vista Ultimate. Now I'm getting only about 5kb/s. Checked my router and reset it. OK. In fact, speed using wireless connection to router from another PC is absolutely fine so its not an internet/ISP problem. Checked my powerline adaptors and reset them. No difference. So, all I can think at the moment is:
1. Powerline adaptors have chosen this moment to play up. (although was working fine before).Getting hold of long CAT5 cable so I can plug directly into router to test this.
2. Ethernet interface on new PC is screwed. If so, I guess I can get hold of a PCI LAN card or something.
3. Somethings up with the Vista install. Maybe virus, malware etc. I did a malware sweep and it found some but no difference after cleaning this. Maybe I'll wipe it and install my old version of XP.
Some users that upgraded to Internet Explorer 8 experience issues with tabs not working properly or taking a very long time to load. It seems for most users the issue can be attributed to a problem with actxprxy.dll not installing properly during the upgrade. If you have a similar problem with IE8, fixing the issue is as simple as a running one command.
Just open up an administrative level command prompt and type in regsvr32 actxprxy.dll and hit Enter. Reboot your computer and your tab issue should be resolved....
After years of being fine on my Vista machines (we have 2 on the network, hard wired through a router usually.. however now they are connected directly to the modem) that have both either lost their internet connection or after many reboots of the modem, connect to a uselessly slow internet connection. I've reset the router, and then gave up alltogether for the direct line to the modem. Comcast came today, couldn't figure it out.. they replaced the modem and claim the internet is fine from their end.
I did install Comcast's Norton Suite 3 weeks ago, which ran fine until now. I slow started having problems, Tivo Desktop couldn't transfer shows, then wifi connected devices like my iphone would ask over and over again for the password to the network. Then my VNC program stopped connecting to my home computer. Then, ultimately the internet connection was lost. All these things happened a few days after each other. Comcast has told me I am on my own, they don't know what else to do. The kicker is that the internet is good and fast if I boot in SAFE MODE. I uninstalled Norton on one of my desktops, but still slow internet.
So, the tech tells me the problem is with Vista, says there must've been an update that went on both computers that is causing the problem. So I have no clue where to go to from there. I unistalled Norton on the one machine using Windows Uninstall to get rid of it. Is part of it there still? It's so weird that both computers have the identical problem, yet its not the internet connection that is causing it.
I just installed an OEM windows vista home premium onto my computer so that I could take advantage of my 6GB ram. Unfortunately I don't know too much about building systems and I have an internet problem. After I installed the OS, when I plug my computer into my router, I always recieve "unidentified network..limited or no connectivity". I've done everything that the internet company has asked me to do as far as my modem/router is concerned, and Acer wants to charge me a buttload for their help.
Am I missing something simple that I need to do with my 64 bit software? I downloaded the 64 bit drivers for my LAN, audio etc from the acer website but it seems to still do no good. I even downloaded the driver directly from my Lan ethernet controllers brand website. I've been stuck here for days without much help and the wierd thing is that my girlfriend can plug her computer (32 bit vista home premium) right into the router and it connects fine. I'm downloading SP2 now if that makes any difference.
can I speed up my browsing on the internet? I know some sites are slower than others but, as of late, the internet seems to slow down to a crawl yet, when I do the speed test, I end up scoring higher or just where I am supposed to be at. I only use Avast as my A.V. & Spyware + Windows Firewall, no proxies. I am also using OpenDNS for my dns address and this has help a bit but still, I will like more from it since when I download a file, it does it fairly quick.
