My computer slows down and hangs after installing oracle 10g

My computer just slows down after installing oracle 10g. I have a pentium 4 3ghz with 512 memory (32 mb used by graphics built in card). It slows down and hanged even if I agjusted the swap memory to 800 mb. I have two swap file/page file - in drive c and drive d. I even cannot shut it down because it takes maybe 30 minutes just to see the "shut-off/log-off" screen.

Before starting up Oracle, when you go to the task manager, how much RAM does it show actually free? 512 MB is pretty small to run Oracle in the first place-- Windows and Office can use a fair chunk of RAM themselves, depending on which Office apps you are running. You may also be suprised by the amount of RAM that a web browser, email client, and the various other apps that folks generally install can use.

[SOLVED]Whole computer slows down while lots of ongoing I/O operations

Hello
It's an issue bugging me from quite a long time, so finally I decided to share my anxiety :-D
Is it normal that both desktop environment actions (clicks, moving windows around, even moving the cursor) and keyboard input slows down when disk is under heavy load? It happens for example when I try to unpack something from a big archive or load a big file in a program. Whole computer runs then like Crysis on 512MB RAM, for me it's unusable. I think my config is the key here, so here it is:
Linux asus.k50in 2.6.34-zen2-ARCH-20100812-stable-06977-ge2287d6 #8 ZEN SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 12 20:54:24 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6600 @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
GeForce 102M 512MB
XFS filesystem on every partition.
KDE4.5.1 + all available updates.
Thanks in advance for any hints.

* Amount of RAM?
* Do you have a swapfile or -partition?
* What do you see in the output of 'top' when this happens?
* Do your logs tell you/us something?
I have never seen this behaviour. It is normal, f.e. on an older machine that when doing a pacman -Sy, the system is less responsive or that (even on a newer system) when copying large amounts of data from one HD to another that file operations are slowed down. It is not normal that your desktop is affected by this.

Computer slows down and locks up after installing Xtreme Mu

I recently upgraded my Audigy 2 to the new Xtreme Music soundcard. The music sounds great!? Before install, I uninstalled all drivers from the Audigy 2. Now, my computer behaves differently. Before the login screen (Windows XP), my video flashes multiple colors for about 2 seconds. After logging into Windows, applications have slowed down (this is after installing the drivers for the sound card and updating the software to the latest from the website). For example, Email took some time to come up (outlook), and then a word attachment refused to come up. IE took considerable amount of time to launch. This is after running the computer with the sound card for a week.
The problems aren't consistent. I returned the card, and the salesman asked if I plugged in the external power (floppy dri've connector). I read the instructions, and they did not state to do this, but I will give it a try. I swapped the card for a brand new one and brought it home. This time, I plugged in the external power. Same symptoms, if not worse. It is sporadic, and sometimes worse than others.
This morning, my computer was working extremely slow opening IE or Outlook and reading email. I pulled the sound card and all is great again. Bummer!? I really like the sound this card produces. My fear is, will ANY X-Fi card do this or just the Xtreme Music?I have an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe (onboard sound has always been disabled). I didn't have any problems with the Audigy 2. 550W power supply, Gig memory, Pentium 4 2.8 GHz processor, and and ATI X600 video card. No other cards are installed in the system.

I tried it is 2 separate slots. Same symptoms. I am looking to see if it is a power issue (not enough juice from a 550w power supply), or if there is a conflict. I still have the creative drivers and software loaded without the soundcard installed and no problems (So I'm ruling out the creative sound software).

My Iphoto does not work properly, after downloading Mavericks. How can I fix it ? loading Mavericks

My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Computer slows down more each time I print a PDF. It reverts to a reasonable speed if I restart the computer. Everything worked normally until I installed Avast Virus Protection.

I have Windows XP and Adobe Reader XI. My printer is a Ricoh Aficio 240W.
My computer normally lacks internet access. I briefly connected it to the internet to install the full version of Avast Antivirus, then disconnected it from the internet again, and it has been disconnected from the internet since.
After I installed Avast the computer began acting screwy when I printed PDF files. I uninstalled Avast but the screwiness continues.
The image in the upper left corner was taken after doing one printing of a PDF file. I'm pretty confident AcroRd32.exe. is Adobe Reader. Notice that after running one print Adobe Reader is using about 50 CPU's.
The image to the right of that was taken after doing two printings of a PDF file. Notice that after running two prints there are two AcroRd32.exe processes using 50 CPU's.
The image below the other two was taken after doing three or four printings of a PDF file. Notice that after three printings one AcroRd32.exe process is using 50 CPU's and two others are using about 25. After about three printings my computer slows down dramatically, and it keeps getting slower the more prints I do.
When I restart the computer it reverts back to normal. Can anyone think of a better solution to this problem of increasing slowness than restarting the computer every two PDF prints?
My computer currently has no virus protection, although Windows Firewall is up. Someone at Avast I briefly mentioned this too thinks this should not happen and he was wondering if the computer has some sort of virus...but before I removed Avast it told nothing about viruses that I know of. I honestly do not know if anyone scanned the computer with Avast before removing Avast, but I suspect it was scanned before the removal of Avast. I suppose this could be the result of some virus...but then the computer behaves quite normally, except when I print PDFs. I'm wondering if Avast changed some settings in my printer program or Adobe programs....
I have CCleaner. Every time I analyze my computer to look for stuff to remove to speed up the computer it shows Internet Explorer history files, and sometimes Internet Explorer temporary internet files despite not being online. If I click on Internet Explorer to go onto the internet, I am told I am working offline.
Thanks. Guesses are welcomed.

Note that regarding this section:
The image in the upper left corner was taken after doing one printing of a PDF file. I'm pretty confident AcroRd32.exe. is Adobe Reader. Notice that after running one print Adobe Reader is using about 50 CPU's.
The image to the right of that was taken after doing two printings of a PDF file. Notice that after running two prints there are two AcroRd32.exe processes using 50 CPU's.

Notice that after three printings one AcroRd32.exe process is using 50 CPU's and two others are using about 25. After about three printings my computer slows down dramatically, and it keeps getting slower the more prints I do.
The layout changed when I posted. Therefore, what I mean by the image in the upper left corner is the image at the top. What I mean by the image to the right of that is the image in the middle of the other two. What I mean by the image below the other two is, of course, the image at the bottom.

[Solved]Computer slow down and freeze during data transfer syncing

Hello,
Everytime I make a data transfer, my computer slow down, and sometimes freeze during a few seconds, work for a fraction of seconds and freeze again. I don"t understand why.
As an example, here is a bench of files i transfered during a syncing with Grsync
It took about 12h to sync 64Gb.
I've read a lot of topics talking about this problem but nothing works. I tried to switch off the SWAP and setting the vm.dirty_ratio and vm.background_dirty_ratio but nothing works.
I'm making the trasfer between two Western Digital USB 2.0 external hard drive in NTFS.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

It seems it was beacause one of my external hard drive was about to die. I performed the same operation with 2 Western Digital external hard drive 1To USB3 and it works perfectly.

My iMac has slowed down considerably soon after my Apple Care expired. Reminds me of the PC days.

What can I do about my iMac slowing down. Shortly after my Apple Care ran out it started to slow considerably. Kind of like having a PC again. On a PC I would defrag it, but Apple tells me it is not recommended for the iMac. Tired of watching the multi-colored circle spin. What can be done? I just upgraded to Lion. The problem seems a bit worse since. AND I can no longer get my iMac to back up with Time Machine. What gives?

Try using disk utility on your hard drive to repair it, also repair your permissions. Open activity monitor and take a look at your RAM and CPU usage. You may have a program or tow taking up a lot of your resources.

After downloading Maverick, suddenly I'm having problems with new windows (like with Blackboard) closing automatically. Anyone else?

A few weeks after downloading Maverick, I noticed that some attempts to use software that opens new windows (like Blackboard) are now failing as soon as that window opens. Is this a glitch with Maverick?

Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

I cant' use microsoft word after downloading Maverick. What do I do?

If it is Office for Mac 2004, you will need to update to Office for Mac 2008 (unsupported) or Office for Mac 2011 to be compatible with Mavericks. If you already have the latter installed, have you applied all Microsoft updates, and ran Disk Utility to verify/repair permissions on your boot drive?
Using Microsoft’s recommended removal process, you may have to reinstall Office for Mac 2011, and then reapply all outstanding updates. Then repeat the Disk Utility action as mentioned above.
