[Athlon64] Windows XP is suddenly having extreme slow down issues

Hey all,
I was just wondering if anyone has had something like this happen.
Two nights ago, my computer ran just fine, but when I logged in last night, it took over a minute to bring up the start menu, a minute to load any sort of software, pretty much a minute for anything I wanted to do. I updated my Ad Aware software and searched for spyware (none found) and also updated my Norton Antivirus and did a complete scan (nothing found). Only myself and my wife use this computer, and she claims she didn't download anything, and I know I didn't (other than updating Ad Aware and Norton).
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Ui30,
Thank you for the reply. I am currently at work, and I don't remember what version I am using. When my subscription expired about 2 months ago I upgraded it to the latest (I think). Norton isn't the only software package that is experiencing this slow down. If I load up a video, or an mp3, it still takes over a minute to load it up. Two days ago either of these video/mp3's would take less than 2 seconds to load.
Thanks again.

Boot camp Windows xp SP2 wireless is extremly slow

boot camp Windows xp SP2 wireless is extremly slow or doesn't work at all. It shows connected on weird 270Mpbs good connection. Other PC and laptops work fine. They are on Linsys wireless N GB router.
I heard some people have problem with SP3, but I am on SP2. If I boot into MAC os, it works perfectly.
It's MacBook 13, just bought it last week. All drivers are updated.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

I tried what Snackyotter did with no success. I don't really use the Caps Lock Key, or the Option Key at boot, when I want to switch to Boot-Camp and Mac OS X I just change the Boot Disk in System Preferences & vise-versa. Thanks for trying to help though. This weekend I am returning my Apple Slim Wireless Keyboard at the Apple Store. I still have the original packaging and receipt, I bought it offline and received it a few days ago. If the return doesn't go as planned and I'm stuck with this keyboard I will keep this question labeled 'unanswered'. If the return does go well I will label it solved, there is no need really to keep this topic waving around when I no longer have the Apple Wireless Keyboard. I have never EVER even thought of returning an Apple product before, wish me luck. To Apple though I must say that I am disappointed that you have had many months to fix this simple issue since this keyboard came out, but have decided not to. I will try to keep you updated. Again Thank You for your kind support.

My iMac Mid 2010 Has Suddenly Started To Slow Down.

Hello,
My iMac has suddenly started to slow down. It was fine just a week ago.. Login time has increased, Applications take a while to start and they can sometimes make my computer unresponsive.
Finder freezes and so does safari.
I have deleted ALOT of old files and things i don't use anymore. I deleted my Windows Partition. I have also tried my options in disk utility but it seems to have not no effect. I also re-installed Mavericks.
I don't know what else to try. Please let me know if there is anything i haven't tried.

Windows 8.1 "explorer.exe" gradually slows down - Observation

Hi, I posted a question a year ago about Windows 8.1 gradually slows down issue, and it seems still not being solved. I recently found some new clues about this, hope it can be useful. (Please read the original post first
since it contains basic descriptions of the issue:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f9ab40a8-6681-4c66-bdbd-9de7b2fb021f/windows-81-gradually-slows-down-after-hours-speed-returns-normal-if-restart-explorerexe?forum=w8itproperf)
This issue is found to be somehow related to total Page Faults of explorer.exe since it starts. The majority of page fault is created by desktop background slide show. On my laptop, the slide show is set to randomly switch between 53 jpegs
(mostly 1920*1080) every 10 seconds. The Page Fault Delta of explorer.exe is usually 2 per second when not doing anything, and tenth to hundreds when there are some actions. But at the instance when the background is switching, it will peak to a value
between 13,000 and 30,000.
I don't know if this value is normal or not, but when the total Page Faults reaches about 20,000,000, a slight slow-down can be observed by moving your mouse up and down on the favorite bar items in IE (the right bar shown when pressing Alt+C
in IE), a slight lag can be observed. The slow down (slightly) of normal windows can be observed when Page Faults reaches about 40,000,000. At that time, the mouse lag on favorite bar items becomes much more obvious. After another few hours, the slow-down
will become more serious.
I tried to disable the slide show by only using one background image, the total Page Fault stays low and the slow-down issue does not occur after one day (the Page Fault after one day is also far less than 20,000,000). That's why restarting explorer.exe
can temporarily fix it. I tried it on 2 other Windows 8.1 computers and get the same results. Maybe there is some memory allocation or fragmentation problem building up? One thing I don't know is that if this is caused by the background slide show itself,
or if explorer.exe in general will slow down after experimenting enough page faults.

Polyhedron,
This main reason of this issue is not the Windows system. A page fault occurs under these situation:
1. A program requests an address on a page that is not in the current set of memory resident pages.
2. The virtual memory system has become unstable because of a shortage of physical memory (RAM).
3. The virtual memory system has become unstable because of a shortage of free disk space.
4. The virtual memory area is corrupted by a program.
5. A program is attempting to access data that is being modified by another program that is running.
Please refer this blog to determine it's hard faults or soft faults.
The Basics of Page Faults
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/06/10/the-basics-of-page-faults.aspx
In addition, from your description, since the background slide itself is without problem, I suspect the root is your ram. Try to increase the amount of memory or reduce the cache size for test.

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt

CS5 and 6 slow down issue - was working fine

Hi Everyone
Hoping you can help as i've tried pretty much everything I can think of to resolve this. I've been running CS5.5 production premium for a while now, powerful PC, everything was running fast and working great.
Now, all of a sudden Photoshop keeps slowing down to a crawl - im talking massive slow down, the mouse cursor doesnt even move properly. No hardware has changed, and no major software changes, all CS5 is up to date. All my other CS programs (after effects, illustrator etc) are working fine. Tried re-installing CS5, I also installed the PS CS6 trial to see if that works, but it also suffers from the same slow down issue.
So if anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate them! Before I have to do a complete clean install of the whole system.
Thanks
Jack

More details on your set-up might be helpful.
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

My Macbook Air has suddenly become extremely slow and is always crashing?

Hi, I would really appriciate some help right now.
I have had my Macbook Air for a little more than 2 years. It has always worked pretty well. However, recently I went on vacation for 1 week without my laptop. When I returned home and went to turn on my computer, I noticed that it had become extremely slow. Firstly, turning on my computer has become an abnormally long process. It used to take about 2-3 minutes to turn on. Now, it takes a solid 10 minutes. Not only this, but once my computer has finally turned in, it usually takes another 10 minutes before I can open an internet browser. When I click on the browser (I used Google Chrome) no window will pop up, and after a few more clicks, my screen will freeze completely. Sometimes I will get the rainbow wheel and sometimes the screen just completely freezes without it. Sometimes I will try closing the lid of my computer and then reopening it, but when I do this, the screen stays black for a long period of time even after I have reopened it, almost as if the computer is off. After an excessive amount of key smashing and an abnormally large amount of time, the screen will finally stop being in sleep mode and show my desktop. Even then, my computer will still barely work. Once I finally get a window open and start using the internet, google chrome will end up crashing within at least 20 minutes. The entire screen will freeze, I won't be able to scroll down or exit out of the window, and I then usually have to repeat the painful process that I described above when I attempt to open my broswer.
It has been over a week since I returned from vacation, and I deal with these issues every time. My computer has always been fine in the past, why is this suddenly happening?
I have tried to remove some of my applications my going into Finder and highlighting the application and clicking Move to Trash, and then emptying the trash. This hasn't helped at all. Do you think that it would help to delete some of my files and data (pictures, documents, screenshots, downloads, ect) or is this irrevevant?
I would really appricate some help! I am really sick of having to deal with this. I have no idea what is going on or how to fix it, or why this has suddenly happened after a week of being away from my computer.
Thank you so much. If you need any more detail or have any more questions, please ask.

It's likely that the internal drive is failing, or you have some other hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the Lion recovery partition, if present.

DW 8 suddenly becomming extremely slow

I'm using DW 8.0.2, PC under Windows XP SP3. 1GB RAM, over
500GB HD.
A couple of weeks ago, as it worked perfectly until then, the
use of DW
became extremely slow. Any action can now take over a minute
to concretise.
These actions are (among others):
- Opening a file
- Click on a tab to change the file on which I am working
- Select a field to copy
- etc.
I'd like to precise again that this phaenomenon happened
suddenly (It
worked, and suddenly it happend), and not progressively.
Furhtermore, while DW is running the whole system is sharply
slowed down.
Thanks to anybody of help.

After searching a while within DW I started to look at the
system in
general. I used the task manager (processes tab) to see what
program(s) were
using the CPU. And I found that a process I didn't know
about, named
windowssearchfilter.exe was using all the CPU. I just deleted
the process,
and now DW is running as it used to do before.
What struck me is that the slowness was only perceptible on
DW, as no other
program seemed to be slowed.
In any case, thank you to all who gave me assistance.

Does new Airport Extreme slow down when used with Airport Express?

Maybe this is self-evident.
If get the new Airport extreme and use an old airport express to extend it, will signal slow down to the old speed?
Does the AE have a greater range? Perhaps I don't need the Express to extend.
I live in NYC and there are so many signals in the air. It seems like having the additional airport helps keep me connected.
Thanks.

The airport express is g technology not n technology, so it will be at least as slow as your old network. Also, I'm not sure but I think the the range will be a bit longer than with the old g system, but does not have the full potential of an n system.
I've set up my new system but none of my machines are n capable. I extended the system using my old expresses. The speed of the system is no greater than what it was before the n.
I bought the system to upgrade my technology because everytime my Applecare runs out, I get a new computer which isn't too far down the road. I've purchased an Apple TV which will also work better with the n technology when I upgrade. It's either buy it now or buy it later. I'm also hoping that some third party like Belkin will develop a PCIX card to provide n technology to those of my computers that aren't currently n capable. I'm sure there is many like me out there.

Airport Extreme slowing down internet connection to a crawl

Hi,
Can anyone explain this one?
Just this afternoon my internet connection slowed to a crawl. Pages would stall loading and I couldn't even collect emails. There was a connection there. A Google search might take a minute or so but anything else would barely flinch.
So I did a few restarts and complete power downs of all my peripherals, computers and network devices but no joy. I called my broadband provider who did a remote test of my cable modem and confirmed it was responding well.
So I removed the Airport Extreme from the network and connected directly to the modem. All was fine, in fact that is how I am working now. But when connecting the Airport Extreme back in I have this extremely slow connection. I have looked at both the Network preferences and Airport Setup Utility. Both claim the connection is good.
I also have an old G4 in another room. It was switched off during all the goings on this afternoon but I powered it up to see if the same problem persisted. Sure enough it does, as it is also connected via the AE. However, the local connection between computers is just fine.
So how do I resolve this? Why would the AE cause such an internet slowdown?
Thanks,
Colin

I've had similar symptoms on my network. Here are network details:
Comcast is the ISP
I have an Extreme and an Express set up as a single wireless network.
Extreme is plugged in to the cable modem. Express is an extension of the Extreme.
Devices that are regularly "on network": Mac Mini (G4), MacBook, Mac Pro, 2 TiVO Series 2.
All Macs are running 10.4.10.
Symptom: Over the course of 3-6 weeks, wireless access slows to a crawl for the Intel-based MacBook and MacPro, but not the PowerPC Mini. All web sites, email traffic, etc., for the Intel Macs becomes painful: CNN's home page loads in minutes, not seconds, for example. Unplugging and replugging the Express doesn't do anything. Powering off and on the Extreme resolves the issue. For now. There are no pending firmware updates for the Express or Extreme that I'm aware of.

"non-responsive script" -- appears on screen/ extreme slows down or freeze/field can appear as many as 7 times each time i click on stop "non-responsive script"/each time the field returns immediately on screen.Frustrating!I dislike freeze or slow...

I researched the net and a lot of people are having the same problem, but did not find answers.
1. I turn on the PC and experience very slow to open firefox.
2. Then a field pops up "Non-responsive script may be what is slowing down your computer". There is computer language written in the field. In this field are 2 small fields to click on: "continue" or "stop script". I can click on stop or continue numerous times and no reaction. Then I click on close no reaction. Then finally it goes away only to pop back up as many as 6 or 7 times. It can occasionally take as long as 20 min. to open the browser. Other times the computer is just slowed down.
3. There appears to be no pattern as to when this "non-responsive script" field can appear. Even when I first turn on the PC and have not opened the browser yet it can appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
4. Any suggestions or help you could provide would be appreciated.

Extreme slow down when using wireless connection

I did not have a wireless network prior to purchasing the airport express and needed this as I purchased a macbook. My intention was only to use this device as a wireless network. I have my cable modem connected to a linksys router which is connected to the airport express. The internet connection on my macbook is extremely SLOW! I have reset and reinstalled my airport several times, called apple support and trouble shoot for over an hour, however still experiencing the same problems...slow internet connection. In my troubleshooting I have determined that cable modem and connection, router and airport are all working properly. So the only other thing is interference issue. I've tried changing the channels, use interference robustness option however still no results. I just want my laptop internet connection to work fast. This is my last hope otherwise I'm going out tomorrow to buy a wireless Linsys N router. Any suggestions????

Well it turned out to be a DNS configuration problem on the MacBook. If you go to Networks-Advanced in the System Preferences for the Airport connection, then select the DNS TAB. In there I had a spurious DNS entry. I deleted the one that was manually entered in (it's in black text) that way the one I received from the Airport Express was the only one in there (it is greyed out and you can't delete it.)
Hope that helps.

Anyone else having DSL slow down in Queens (zip 11366)

Only getting 800 to 900k when I have a 3MB plan. This is regular Verizon DSL and not FIOS. It has been going on for at least a week but maybe longer and I just didn't notice it.
Verizon thinks there is a problem with the line but in the past this has happened, it was always some sort of line slow down on their end. Last 2 technicians that came here for similar problems years ago did nothing except waste time. The guy was actually checking to see if my computer was infected with virus. The problem was never solved and it went away after awhile.

If you're on 3MB plan and geting only 1.01MB, we're both having similar problems. I don't have a phone problem but I am using a landline though.
When I called Verizon earlier, there was a recorded message with service problems in BK. BK and South Queens are very close. It could be related to that.

Opening CC project in CC 2014 and having slow down issues

I need to update my project with the newest version of Premeire so I can share it with another editor. When I open the old project in the up to date Premiere, everything takes 10 seconds. Hit space bar - 10 seconds before anything moves. Hit it again to stop - 10 seconds. Everything.
So then I tried an XML out from my old project and opening it in updated Premiere. The slow-down is gone! but all the data I entered for all my footage (this is a feature) has been erased!
Can anybody help me with either the slow down or the XML loss of meta-data?
thank you!

An Update.
I exported an EDL out of CS5 and then brought the EDL into CC2014. I relinked the media in question and it works fine. The EDL however is not ideal for what I am doing here, as the relinking in CC2014 is not working properly either.

Hi, I'm really having trouble with photoshop suddenly being extremely slow.

In the activity monitor I can see it uses 5GB when opened. Can I run photoshop through an external drive or how can I fix this problem?

Due to the current unavailability of clairvoyants and mind-readers in the forum, we respectfully request you supply sensible, complete details.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.
