Cardbus slot (And therefore firewire and SD card??) performanc​e very slow after Windows 8.1 update.

Hi All,
Just updated to Windows 8.1 64 bit from Windows 8. The Cardbus slot speed/bandwidth has dropped considerably to the point that it is now unusable since the update. It worked fine before, although I had a similar problem in the past which was cured by a BIOS update. Since the RICOH chip that controls this slot also control the Firewire and the SD Slot, I was wondering whether these are also affected?
Does anyone else have the same issue? I expect it affects all computer with this chip: T61/X61/R61 etc etc.
Would someone who is on Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8.0 64 bit mind sending me the pci.sys and pcmcia.sys files so that I can try rolling the drivers back to a previous version?
System details:
Thinkpad X61 Tablet
Core 2 Duo 1.6
8GB RAM
128GB SSD
Windows 8.1
Many thanks.
Shaun

Hi @PriyanshuJ ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

  • I was getting support for my Office 2008 for Mac, and the support tech said my OS was very slow. I have latest update for Snow10.6.7. Question how can I speed up my Macbook?

    I was getting support for my Office 2008 for Mac, and the support tech said my OS was very slow. I have latest update for Snow10.6.7. Question; How can I speed up my Macbook?

    Hi
    In the first instance, I'd use Onyx and run through its sequence of maintenance and tune up tools:
    Verify, Maintenance, Cleaning.
    I'd also reset the SMC and PRAM (Google them)
    If that doesn't help then I'd look at System Preferences.. > Accounts > Login Items tab (not Login Options).  Check what processes get started at login and decide which ones you don't want.
    After that I'd use Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor to see if any processes are using a lot of computer power or if anything else nasty might be happening.
    If none of this helped then my final step would be to reinstall OS X.

  • My Macbook Pro purchased Dec 2011 has suddenly become very slow after not using for 2 weeks (close to frozen). What is the problem and how to solve it?

    My Macbook Pro purchased Dec 2011 has suddenly become very slow after not using for 2 weeks (close to frozen). What is the problem and how to solve it?

    Need Help Ye,
    boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is it still very slow?

  • Updated to LR 5.4, images now importing extremely slow. After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast.

    After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast. Canon,Nikon, Leica and Fuji files all rendering slow. iMac 2.9 ghz 16gb RAM OSX 10.8.5. Catalogs and images are kept on external drives. Drives running fine. Really need a fix on this since I'm norally imported and processing at least 4,000 images per LR Catalog. Is there way to revert back to 5.3? I can't use 5.4 is its current state. Thanks.

    Download LR 5.3 and install it
    By the way, lots of people have this complaint about LR 5.4, and the advice I give is to use LR 5.3 unless you need one of the new camera models supported by LR 5.4

  • Hi, I just started a new movie and the program is running very slow. Is there a way to clean up my iMovie program so that it goes faster? Please help.

    Hi, I just started a new movie and the program is running very slow. Is there a way to clean up my iMovie program so that it goes faster? Please help.

    There is nothing you can do with iMovie program itself.  Slow response in usually due to a shortage of system resources (CPU, RAM and disk space).
    How much free disk space do you have on your boot drive and what is the capacity of the drive?
    You can check memory utilization while running iMovie using Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities).  What does the Memory tab show for Swap used?
    Are you running many other processor-intensive applications a the same time?
    If you have a lot of events and projects, it will help a bit to hide the ones you are not using by moving them from your iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders into an enclosing folder so iMovie doesn't load them.

  • My mind 2014 macbook pro keeps freezing and is very slow after the yosemite update

    HI my macbook 2014 model keeps freezing and it is very slow after i had updated it to yosemite

    Why don't you try these: ( might or might not help, but it's worth a try )
    See what you have loading on your login items.
    Open up activity momitor, under All Procesess, see what's using most of your CPU resources (%).
    Hightlight the one using the highest % on the CPU then click on quit process and see if that works.
    Once you're done with that, go to Disk Utility and do a verify disk.  After that, do a verify disk permission and repair if needed.
    See if that helps you.

  • What does 'include render files' option mean for when I duplicate a project. I deselected it and the duplicated file is very slow so maybe this has affected it. It's a shame cause original project is deleted. Have I lost the rendered files? Thanks

    What does 'include render files' option mean for when I duplicate a project. I deselected it and the duplicated file is very slow so maybe this has affected it. It's a shame cause original project is deleted. Have I lost the rendered files? Thanks

    Yes, if you duplicate without the render files and delete the original project you lose the render files. But render files get recreated - automatically if you have it set in the preferences (which is the default option). It just takes time.

    Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

  • Rendering and working with AE is very slow.

    Hey guys,
    I'm running on Windows XP Pro, Intel Core 2 Quad CPU, Q6600 @ 2.40Ghz, Clockspeed; 2,40Ghz, 3GB RAM. Whenever I'm working in AE it's very slow to use in full resolution. When I lower the resolution I still have to wait for the preview screen to 'load'. This is very annoying in a work situation. Am I doing something wrong? My pc is very fast with other 'heavy'programs.

    AE will auto-disable MP if it does not detect enough RAM. You can still toggle it, but AE won't use it in any case. You could only change that by flipping some switches in your BIOS (if it supports this) that will make your 4 cores appear as only 2 cores or one core even, but this has some other side effects like possibly requiring a full re-install of your entire system...
    The disk cache should be located on the fastest disk in your system. Doesn't matter which one, as long as it has enough space and is permanently available. Even a network drive or external disk would work. The only requirement is to create a dedicated directory for it. you can call it "Mom" or "Popsi" - doesn't matter. Calling it "AE Cache" would be smarter, though. ;-)
    As for the rest: Don't expect miracles. Processing an x number of pixels can take its time, especially with some effects and in 32bpc mode.
    Also be aware that, while AE will handle it, some compressed formats do not lend themselves for working interactively. AE needs to conform them and it will take time to look up the correct time index. This is further complicated if you have lots of clips or rather long clips. You can improve these behaviors sometimes by capturing to different CoDecs or converting the footage.
    Part of the problems also may come from the graphics card. Even without OpenGL, AE will use your hardware to decode certain formats if possible and also for accelerated drawing. If your graphics are not up to snuff, have a bad driver or simply are configured poorly, they may have the opposite effect and instead of accelerating your workflow slow it down...
    Lastly, make sure your system is in good shape. Work off the fastest disks, clean them regularly of temporary files, defragment them and make sure their RAID/ SATA drivers and configuration are flawless.

  • Web pages slow to load with IE11 and the cursor/mouse is very slow to work until after page loads

    Web pages are very slow to load, I hve run Norton Eraser and found no issues that would cause this

    New HP Pavilion three weeks ago.  After several attempts by the 'experts' I finally got a straight answer from a tech in the Philipines yesterday, 01-29-2015.  HP and Microsoft are working to resolve the issue of slow pages and a dead cursor until the next page finally loads.  You may have discovered that Google Chrome DOES NOT have this issue.  Comments about HP would not be allowed here so I will just say, use Chrome until the issue with IE 11 is resolved.

  • AIR 3.0 Application Built in HTML/Javascript VERY SLOW on Windows 7 and XP

    Hello AIR Team,
    The commercial AIR application I'm developing for a client (using HTML/CSS/Javascript) is VERY SLOW on my Windows 7 (64 bit) and Windows XP machines running on the Adobe AIR 3.0 runtime. I notice the poor performance in all aspects of the application, but especially on mouse events (mouseover, mouseout, click).
    However, it runs very well on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 test machine AND from within Dreamweaver CS5.5 on my Windows 7 machine.
    Chris Campbell from Adobe posted in another topic on this forum that he has notified the Adobe Webkit Team about this issue, but I'm anxious to know WHEN the Adobe AIR Team will release an AIR update/patch to resolve these performance issues.
    Any ETA on the update/patch?
    ~Oscar

    This performance issue is tracked in adobe bugbase: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2958614
    It is appreciated that anyone affected by this issue could leave vote notes about how the fix is important for you and your business.
