View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen i open IE6 it takes over a minute for the webpage to appear and meanwhile i cant minimise it etc...... It looks like the program is failing to respond but doesn't say so. Once loaded browsing is normal, althought every time a separate IE window is opened the initial slow response applies followed by normal browsing.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi just bought this new computer for 1 of the staff and i have configured his profile. but then i tried to browse the internet and found it very slow, not in opening the IE, but in loading the pages. it takes around 20 to 30 seconds to load a page. when i use ping to check the connectivity, it takes a long time to display the first line, but it gives me a 1ms when pinging the server, which is good.
now i login with the administrator account and find the internet browsing is fast, but again the ping takes a while to display the first line. i did give that user Administrator permissions and tried again, but it's the same issue. i thought it would be higher permissions which could affect the user. So, i added the user to "domain admins", "administrators" groups, and i tried again, but the same situation
I recently reinstalled windows xp (sp3 integrated) on my C drive and had yet installed audio and video drivers only. This PC has two internal hard disks; one 80GB with partitions C through I and other 40GB with a single partition J on it. All partitions are NTFS formated. Browsing folders on all partitions is fast except J where it is extremely slow.
To troubleshoot this, I ran Sysinternals Process Monitor (Procmon.exe) and observed some strange behaviour for explorer.exe. Every time I select a root folder on J for opening (using mouse or keyboard), explorer enumerates all sub-folders recursively which consumes several seconds if folder contains a lot of sub-folders and files. In the meantime, explorer remains unresponsive. Here is an example (merely selecting FreeCommanderPortable in J drive using mouse or keyboaad
when I browse "My Network Places", the browsing is so incredibly slow. It takes a long while when you click one icon in the “My Network Places” for that to open up and go to the next directory or when just first displaying the computers in “My Network Places”, it goes so slow.
I use Windows Workgroup on the LAN to share out internet. Everything else, other than browsing the network, works great. The internet browses nice and fast.
This morning I opened My Network Places while my pc was still loading all the programs at start-up and "My Network Places" was fast. After a few minutes it was back to normal low pace. Now I guess it is something running on my pc slowing it down. Is it maybe to do with XP Service Pack 2? Before installing SP2 the network browsing on my pc is fast, after installing SP2, it is slow. Other computers on the network without SP2 browse the network quite fast.
All the pc's on the network has XP Pro.
Ever since I have rebooted my whole machine the Internet runs very slow. I mean very slow. Everything else of the computer works fine but this, I'm sure it is not virus that caused this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a pc with windows XP, with over 700mb Ram, 80gb hard disk space and not many programs running. My video program is NVDIA GFORCE4, and my internet connection is by DSL. Yet whenever I'm online for the past 6 months or so, my pc is very slow and whenever I go to Yahoo Games I basically just freeze up for several minutes. Yes I've got Java programs running, many anti-spyware and antispams running, plus AVG antivirus. I even re-installed and nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me please? I've tried everything and can't figure it out. I even had different laptops on the same connection - the problems seems to be the same but a lot less than with the desktop, and with a friends laptop it was nearly normal. My pc is over 2 years old but the problem only cropped up about 6 months ago and I can't figure it out.
View 15 Replies View RelatedMy pc has a slow connection so i thought i'd clean it up. when i ran hijackthis i checked all the boxes, clicked fix and got a protection error near the end of the list. when i restarted the pc i tried again and after clicking fix watched the curser get towards the end again, and on the 180 search assistant entry there i got the same protection error.then i tried it again with 180 search assistant unchecked, and it freezes on the entry before that one.is it bad to check all of the boxes? doesn't it basically just set the browser back to original?
View 14 Replies View RelatedOne of the most frustrating things to have with a computer is a slow internet connection and 56K is about as slow as it gets these days. I feel the pain that 56K users have and hope that by following this thread they can experience a faster more reliable internet connection. There are a few things that one must understand prior to tweaking their 56K connections. The first is that it is actually a 53.3K connection since that is the speed that the FCC limits you to, on top of that most dialup users actually connect in the 40,000 – 50,000K range, which is excellent by dialup standards.

I have 2 computers I am trying to network together and share a dsl connection. One my wireless laptop everything is fine. On my desktop my connection is very slow I have tried everything I can think of and I am still at a loss. The other thing that is happening is my printer is hooked up to my desktop If I try to print from my laptop on the printer screen it says it is spooling but after about a minute it just drops off and never prints. I am using a Westell versalink modem/Router from verizon. I thought the router was not working right so I took the D-Link router back to best buy and ordered this one from verizon but I am still having the same problem. So the next thing I tried to do was reinstall windows on my Desktop but I am still having problems. If I switched from a hard wired system with my laptop and went wireless would this help. Any help with this problem would be great.

I have a dell 4600 dimension operating on windows XP, and my ISP is optimum cable. It's been coming on slowly, but my connection to the internet, via internet explorer is extremely slow. I also experience long waits opeing new windows, or attachments from a site, as well as rply and fwd on E-mail. Once connected moving from site to site is normal speed, but as stated other openings take up to 2-3 minutes to connect. My ISP says my connection is fine, but I do get a connectivity icon on occasion, causing me to click repair, and it goes away.

Also, sorry if this topic is being posted in the wrong place.Anyway, my PC decided it would be fun to revert to default settings (not a BIOS issue) every time I booted it up, so I decided to reinstall XP Pro, since it was due for a reinstallation anyway.

I have a NetComm NB5Plus4W ADSL2+ Modem Router all the required lights are lit up (ADSL light is solid, not flashing or out).

View 8 Replies View RelatedThe main issue is that as soon as I connect to the internet, it takes about 10 minutes for me to be able to do anything. Before the connection is established, the system is normal. After connecting, I can't open any programs, or even task manager or control panel. After about 10 minutes, everything opens and seems to run normal, but still a bit slow. If I disconnect and try to log off or shut down while waiting for IE to open, it freezes the computer and I have to manually shut down. I do go through the task manager and shut down everything that I can before signing on to the internet and it does not make any difference.

I suspect I have an infection on my PC (win2000) but none of my tools are finding anything. TO recap, I did have the msblast/sasser virus but removed it a while back. Since then, I've had the infamous lsass.exe shutdown. Luckily, I have zone alarm firewall so the shutdown only occurs if I disconnect the firewall.I want to fix this once and for all so I downloaded W2k Service Pack 4 and the 'RPC' MS fix (Kb823980-x8-enu.exe). I thought that would fix the problem but no.I've also run other tools like stinger, vcleaner, spybot, adware, antivirus software. I keep the versions/dat files updated.At this point I'm not sure where to start so I'm posting the log results from hijack this. One thing I noticed is that svchost.exe process occurs 3 times. I seem to recall seeing cmd.exe pop up for a second and a 3rd occurence of svchost.exe followed right after.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI posted this under the software thread as well, but maybe this is a more appropriate place.This is the deal. I got on here a while back because my parents suffered a lightening strike which rendered their computer worthless.After the great input on here, I replaced the PSU and the motherboard and blam, $140.00 later the computer started.However the internet connection (cable broad band) was so incredibly slow it would not open any web pages other than something simple like: Google.com or yahoo.com, etc. Click on a story or the weather and nothing. So I contact the internet provider (Insight Cable) and talk with their tech support that ran multiple tests. They seemed to think that there was a virus problem.
I ran the parents ZONE ALARM and it found 85 virus and 19 spy ware programs. It could not treat or fix the viruses.My parents are elderly and only use the computer to check email and cruise the net. They are completely computer illiterate. They may have inadvertently been cruising the net with Zone Alarm turned off.Today I loaded the Dell XP, OS, disk. I did not repair; I formatted the hard drive and loaded everything back onto the computer, i.e., drivers for video, sound, Ethernet, etc.I loaded the cable modem drivers and established a connection.
My computer runs very slow and I notice that on my computer properties it say I have 37.2BGB and 31.2used with 6.04free. My question is would this cause my computer to run slow.
