Whenever I Minimize Or Close Any Program It Goes In Slow Motion?
Oct 31, 2012
The problem I currently have is whenever I open close minimize or maximize a program, be it google chrome or World of Warcraft or even any MS Office program it starts slowly and minimizes slowly. I've been having this problem for about 5 days now and I have no clue how it arose. I am using Windows 7 x64 home premium. I am new to computer stuff with little knowledge of the lingo and processes of how anything really works.Also I found on these forums something that seemed familiar but there was no solution. Whenever I play Starcraft 2 It becomes choppy and slow moving. The start up screen for every game I play is in slowmotion.
I would like to add that browsing the internet and playing some games is perfectly fine after the initial slow moving start up. though it still closes and minimizes slowly.Another thing I would like to add that may be the cause to the problem. Whenever I start up my computer it is super slow. it takes the windows in starting or resuming icon forever to rotate and load.also after the 5-10 minutes I have to wait for it to finally get to the User selection screen. when i do select a user, the program Curse Client ( a program for World of Warcraft addons) doesn't work and gives me this message: An error has occurred while attempting to load a Microsoft .Net configuration file. this is often and indication of a corrupted .net installation. and it goes on to say; We recommend visiting Microsoft download Center to repair your .net installation. would you like to go there now?
I recently received a watermark saying that my windows version was not genuine. (It is) Anyhow, in my scurry to remove the watermark I somehow probably changed a setting that has rendered my Min, max & close buttons useless. I am also not able to drag windows. When I open certain MMC documents, including device manager, I receive a notification stating "Unable to create new document." I have tried restoring my system to no avail. I have done so with my av & firewall down too, as well as from safe mode. I have run multiple virus scans & my system is clean!
Using Windows 7 RC1 I have noticed that fairly often when I minimize or close various windows they freeze partway through fading out. The system is still usable but those frozen windows stay on top for 5-15 seconds. The taskbar shows them as being closed yet they are faded into the background. I will try to get a screenshot later tonight but I am at work right now. All drivers installed OK automatically and the video card(s) are seen ok.
Any thoughts? It's not a deal-breaker for using RC1 but it sure is annoying. Besides, RC1 fixed the beta issue where Winamp visualizations would freeze for 5 sec between song changes, which is a huge deal to me.
I have installed theme Placebo Angst and it looks really sweet, but I faced one problem in it with my skype window, when skype login window appears the panel looks fine, but when Skype is loaded up it gets back to normal mode, so my question is there any tutorial how to modify it or maybe a refresh function somewhere to apply the panel as it is in all other windows?Here is the image, top panel is skype and the bottom one is browser.
For the past week I've had crashes after about an hour of use. I was getting BSODs that flashed quickly then the computer tried to reboot but would not get past the motherboard screen.Power cycling brings windows back. After enabling a page file I was able to get a BSOD and minidump which wasn�t happening previously.I've tried memtest86 (only 1 pass), chkdsk and windows virus scans. Nothing shows up. I dusted out the internals and monitored the CPU temp and that was normal. The video driver (AMD onboard) was the only driver that needed updating and I fixed that with no change.
Here's my info:
x64 windows 7 professional, homebuilt, about 1 year old.
More details:The first time the crash happen I was running Google Earth for the first time in a long time. Initially web pages stop loading. Then I can�t switch programs or start task manager. Then the spinning rings cursor shows up. About a minute later the computer flashes the BSOD then reboots. Though now it seems to persistently show the BSOD.
I've been having this problem recently with my laptop running in kind of like slow motion. The problem starts when it takes my laptop an extra long time to boot up and then afterwards my windows minimize and maximize very slowly and my games kind of run in slow motion. This happens 1 out of 10 reboots and a restart usually fixes the problem.I've done memtest, chckdsk, hard drive tests with seagate tools, scans with malwarebytes and avira, temperature readings with speedfan but nothing has been found. The only thing was with the chckdsk finding space mark as allocated that was free but I believe that problem was fixed in subsequent chckdsks.I have noticed these two error messages in my event log though:Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.digital delivery service has terminated unexpectedly. it has done this (1) times.
A person who works from home brought his laptop in today as he was having issues printing. We have the same printer here so I hooked it up as he would do and got rid of his problem (a print job stuck in the queue! He has just called me and says that now he is back at home, his printer works fine but when opening or closing programs it goes in what he describes as 'slow motion'. He likened it to the same effect as when you switch on the trail for the mouse pointer. I haven't done anything which would affect things to my knowledge as I didn't install any updates / drivers / software etc.
I've had this problem for a while where occasionally when I boot up my laptop (Dell XPS), the windows would maximize and minimize in slow motion and all my games run in slow motion. A restart usually fixes the problem.I've looked for solutions in the past but the problem always comes back. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the problem is or how to fix it.
Every time I boot my PC now, Windows' visual transitions (screen fades, maximizing / minimizing, opening / closing windows, etc) go at like 1/4 speed. It's annoying and slows things down (everything else is fine though). "Restarting" from the start menu fixes it, but shutting down and booting up again does not. I know I can just shut them off. But this is a recent build and I want to know what's wrong. This seemed to start happening out of nowhere.
I really like aspects of the new taskbar, especially pinning program icons to it. I always would open my main program's in the same order so they would be in the same place on taskbar, but if I had to close one and reopen... oh well. so 7 fixed that problem,If I have multiple windows open in same program (e.g. firefox), I lose the ability to minimize ALL windows controlled by that programs icon. When right clicking on icon, there should be a MINIMIZE ALL choice in addition to the CLOSE ALL. Seems like a no brainer to me.
I work with Paint Shop Pro and i have a lot of fonts. When i minimized them icant see it in the program. I only see a big blue A and i cant used the font
I have a HP-Pavilion WE225AA-ABU p6324uk with MSI IONA 1.0 M/B and 3.20 gigahertz Intel Core i5650, 32 kilobyte primary memory cache, 64-bit ready processor with 4gb RAM and 750gb HD, running Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601) Up to about 4 weeks ago, it ran fine, nice and fast, then it started to take a long time to launch programmes, even longer to close them down, I often have to use Task Manager to close them and quite often I get programmes 'not responding' and hanging.
I keep getting the message "the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OKto close the application" No application opens even registry cleaners or virus applications.
I need a program that will close all the non-essential processes and services? Does any know how to do this or a program that will do it? EDIT: Ill rephrase. I only want processes that allow the computer to start and then for me to be able to delete a file that is being used by some unknown process.
I have Office 2003 Word installed on 3 Windows 7 Home Premium machines, but on one of them the program is very slow to open and close. I have uninstalled and re-installed many times with no improvement.
Running Windows 7 when starting machine, MS Access starts up and tries to run files that have an MS ACCESS icon but are not database files. Every time I close the error message for the file that can't open, another error window pops up for another file. Is this a virus?
I am trying to forcibly end a protected program in the windows 7 cmd (taskkill /S system /U domainOwner /F /PID) and it is telling me that the rpc server is unavailable. How to forcibly & permanently delete/cripple a program.
I don't really know a better way to describe it, but I want to make a batch file that Task Scheduler can open at a certain time to close a chosen program.
This program has been running for 12 hours without interruption, and it is still chunking away but slower. That is it seems to pause 5-10 seconds before flashing up the next file. I don't think my data is unusually large at just over 1 million files, and my hard drives total 2,946 GB with each well under 50% used capacity. All other programs can run smoothly and Windows Task Manager Shows no program is stuck. But if I need to wait for 1+ million files to be examined at 5 seconds each, it won't be done in my lifetime! What do I need to do differently?
I am wondering if opening more than one program at the same time would slow down the internet connection. If one opens for example msn, skype, streaming video, many tabs, and other internet connected programs, does this will significantly slow down the internet speed?
10-27 I reformatted my hard drive. Well, even before then, though, when I'm composing an email the cursor stops and it seems to freeze. I need to wait 8-10 seconds or so for the cursor to reappear. Whatever I have typed prior to it freezing (or whatever) gets typed out once it reappears, but something is not right here.Any advice?
I'm moving from an XP machine to a Windows 7 machine and have transferred my project files (engraving files as well as .bmp). When I try to open a project folder in any of the programs I use it takes 2-3 minutes for it to load all the filesThere are just over 10,000 files in the folder, they are all small files (nothing larger than 100k), and on the XP machine it loads in an instant.I have done everything I can find online (turned off indexing, changed the folder prefs, etc) and nothing works. When I open the folder within Windows it loads in an instant, however when I try to open it within a program is when it dragsDoes anybody have any ideas of what else I can try outside of threatening the computer with physical violence?Also as you can tell by my screen name I'm a mac user that has to use PCs at work.
I recently had windows 7 installed on my sony VGN-AR51M laptop. However, I am unable to use the motion eye webcam because apparently, I have to install a driver for it. Does anyone know any website that might help me out in installing that driver?
there my minimize button and stuff are too big, I've changed to zoom thingy to 100% when I log off and log back on, It's small like a normal windows 7 has. But then If I restart It goes big again. How do I permanently make It small?
I just purchased a new Toshiba laptop that came with Windows 7....while using my Microsoft Works Word Processor, the program minimizes on its own...you can bring the document up again, but this is very disconcerting....at first I thought maybe I was hitting a combination of keys in error but it keeps happening when no incorrect keys are hit....I don't know if other programs will also minimize on their own, since I just got the computer and haven't done alot on it yet....
