Firefox CS3 very slow (on Vista Home Prem. 64 bit)

Firefox CS3 is running very slow on Vista Home Premium 64
bit.
New Gateway AMD Phenom quad-core (2.3 Ghz quad) with 8 GB of
Ram.
The rest of the CS3 suite works fine, but there's a delay
every time I do anything in Fireworks.
I upgraded from 4 GB of Ram to 8, thinking that might make a
difference. But the problem remains essentially the same. I've
gotten all Adobe updates, but nothing seems to solve it.
Originally, I thought it was a matter of having other programs open
that was bogging it down. But even when it's the only program open,
it runs slow.
I was wondering if there are some other settings I need to
change, or what... The last Macromedia version of Fireworks ran
much faster on my XP system with less power and Ram, so this just
doesn't make sense...
Any tips are appreciated. Thanks!

64 bit? Umm...hmm.
First, other people have mentioned problems with FW CS3 on
Vista compared to either running on XP or other CS3 apps on Vista,
so you aren't alone. Unfortunately, nobody seems to be able to pin
down the conflict. Possibly AV, but (if I remember correctly) the
other person who posted about FW CS3 being slow didn't see an
improvement when he turned his AV off.
You might try turning off Aero for Fireworks, that helps with
the bitmap tools. If it's some other conflict, then it's going to
be a matter of experimenting.
I'm running Vista Home Premium 32 bit, and I don't notice any
trouble with FW CS3 (well, except for the bitmap tools, which I
don't use so I haven't bothered turning off Aero). My AV is NOD32,
though, and it's one of the smallest, most nimble AVs out there.

Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether even refusing to react to Task Manager "End Program@ command. The "not responding@ error message also comes up during navigation on line.

Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether, even refusing to react to the Task Manager "End Program" command. The "not responding" error message also comes up during navigation on line. Several attempt have to be made to get on line. A loss of stability seems to be endemic at the moment.

Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

Question
better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
Details

As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
Any luck?

Windows Vista Home prem Sleep issues on macpro

Hi all i recently purchased a Macbook Pro 15" 2.5 processor and duel booted it with vista home prem,
(i use refit as my boot-up program)
recently after using the vista side more often i've discovered that if i leave the laptop on and its idle it will go into sleep or hibernation not sure which one(i use a LED mouse which stays on during the laptops 'sleep' state), however i cannot re-awake the laptop from this state i usually have to turn the laptop off then on again, when entering windows after i have done this it says its recovered from a serious error and would i like to start in safe mode etc..
i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and knows a way to solve it,
thanks all

It is possible that even the latest Apple BootCamp 2.1 drivers don't handle the latest MBP hardware.
Early on, hibernation was a problem for anyone on Vista, PCs as well as Macs.
I have to unplug my mouse and keyboard when it goes into hibernation. When you restart in that manner, do you do a chkdsk or have any errors crop up as a result? I know on OS X side that can leave the disk dirty and in need of repair.
PS: I thought you were talking about the desktop MacPro, not the MacBook Pro...

Need Help upgrading IQ816t Touchscreen from Vista Home Prem to Win7 Ult

I purchased (eBAY) 25" IQ816t with Vista Home Prem, and seller provided Win7 Ult AIO disk with the deal. Seller reset to base OS prior to shipping to me. Everything works fine w/Vista.
When trying to run the AIO disk, using UPGRADE mode, I get conflicting message(s)...you can not upgrade from 64 bit to 32 bit;...and you can not upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit. What gives? I am doing something wrong?
Seller firm in that they had Win7 Ult running fine and that the AIO disk should work fine.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

I have the same model you have. Our model is Vista 64, so if you are trying to upgrade, you can only upgrade to Win 7 64, and it sounds like you got a Win 7 32 disc. See if it will let you do a full install of it and not an upgrade, if it won't, you need to get the Win7 64 disc for this.

Firefox 13 very slow compared to IE or Chrome despite Fastestfox

Firefox is very slow compared to IE 8 or Google Chrome despite Fastestfox plugin and the server connection is interrupted all the time when I try to load sites, and I have to re-load again and again (this also happens wehn I clicked on HELP)... I also could not restart in safemode as I didn't find it... Please help, as I would like to use Firefox...

I noticed firefox 13.0.1 is very slow after gradual use. Even my computer is slowing down when using it.. All this nonsense about the addon or extension seems like Bull...
Im thinking of using version 3.6.28 which was wayyyy faster. Mozilla need to make more quality products.
I recommend either going back to Internet Explorer or using Firefox 3.6.28, i really hope mozilla's next browser ver 14 is way faster...

Latest update has my safari/firefox running very slow

I did the latest software update Monday night, and now my safari and firefox are very slow to load. I have raised the memory storage to 100 MB, tried the proxy thing (didn't work, so I put it back to where it was), tried clearing the cache, and I don't know what to do. I have a router with specific numbers, so I can't change that on the TCP thing.
Please help.

I added the DNS numbers and safari is working, but what about my slow Firefox?
Your system uses DNS for its internet connection, so if it helps Safari it should have the same effect on Firefox. If Firefox is having problems when Safari is not, that's a problem specific to that program and you might want to pursue that on the forums dedicated to its support.

Hello BJ.
This kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe-mode] to disable all extensions, themes and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins, themes or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. Also, try the theme you want to have installed so see if that is what's causing the problem. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension/theme, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons. If you want to keep using those problematic add-ons, please contant their author for support.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#try reinstally Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version for free at [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]. If that doesn't fix the problem, proceed;
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
#clean up your OS registry, using appropriate software. If this doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. Except make sure you've followed my instructions correctly.

IPod Classic 80GB works OK with iTune 9.0.2.25 under Vista Home Prem-64Bit

I have been reading all of the many problems people are having with their iPod classic after their iTunes 9 upgrade.
I just wanted everyyone to know that I have been upgrading iTune software automatically as soon as they become available, and right now it is Ver. 9.0.2.25. My operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium - 64 bit. Everything is running just fine.
Hope this piece of information helps narrow the focus as to where problem lies.

Glad you've been doing okay, PK.
Here's a few possibilities that might be worth checking on with people that aren't covered in the standard documentation.
*Windows 7 USB Host Controllers and nVidia chipsets*
One issue that has been catching people out on *Windows 7* systems with nVidia chipsets is a flaw in the Windows 7 USB Host Controller drivers, as per:
[You encounter problems when you move data over USB from a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer that has an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset and at least 4GB of RAM|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976972]
It can manifest as intermittent trouble with normal syncing. Then folks (naturally enough) often try a restore in an attempt to rectify matters, and then can't restore, or have no luck whatsoever getting any syncs to work afterwards.
Here's a typical example of that one:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10948150&#10948150
*CA security software*
CA security products have been interfering with restores, updates, iTunes Store connections and sundry other matters in recent times. Folks with CA software can often get past that by applying the settings changes described in kalda01's post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10525876#10525876
*error 0xE8000065*
Seems to be related mostly to the Intel P55 and P55M chipsets. Checking for BIOS and chipset updates helps for some people. With others (with a user configurable BIOS of the right sort), the following workaround has been of some help:

Tx2517ca From Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit to Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

Hi Everyone,
I have a very specific question. I currently am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, but I want to use Windows 7. However, I want to use Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (rather than Windows 7 Home Premium) and understand that this will require a clean install.
Before I purchase Windows 7 Professional, I want to make sure that this can be done correctly. Does anyone know if this is possible or have already done this?
I have downloaded and ran Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor which told me that I would be able to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate, but it does not mention Windows 7 Professional at all. I'm assuming this is because it would require a clean install.
Thanks for your time,
Lauren

thanks ... I see now from your other post that you're probably getting either a "missing QuickTime.msi" message or being told that a "newer version of QuickTime" is installed when you try to go ahead and uninstall QuickTime after you're told about the Key?
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Flex Builder 3 on Vista Home Premium 64-bit

Has anyone tried Flex Builder 3 on Vista Home Premium 64-bit? Does it work? I see Vista is supported but the requirements page says nothing specifically about Flex Builder on 64-bit Vista.
I also see some older questions on the topic in the forums, but nothing recent and no complete answers.

other Vista/FB users I've talked to feel the same
Well that's always an easy one..
I talked to a million FB/Vista users and they all say it's blazing fast..
See how easy that is?
I suggest you look into optimizing your system and/or look at what might be causing this.
But all I can say is FB3 sure isn't slow.
I'm surprised it runs decent for you
Well, I'm surprised you're surpised
I still have to see a MAC outperform anything compared to my PC.

Unable to scan and communicate with scan function C6180 Vista Home Premium 64 bit Printing works

I have an all in one C6180 Photosmart connected by wireless network (infrastructure). Network consists of 2-laptops, 1-Desktop and the printer. Everything works from HP solution Center on the Compaq laptop and the Dell desktop both running Windows XP. My newest laptop is a Dell studio XPS core2 2.4ghz running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. I am unable to scan from the Dell Laptop using HP Solution Center nor can I scan from the printer buttons to the laptop. Solution Center opens I select "scan document" and immediately get an error message "unable to communicate with scanning device. Likewise with the copy function. The laptop does recognize the printer though and I am able to print wirelessly. All functions work when connected via USB so I believe the printer is fine. I have been working with this problem since I bought the printer in 2007. I spent many hours reading hundreds of internet posts, talking by phone with HP and via e-mail support from HP. I became frustrated and gave up for awhile but now I want to see if there are any new solutions that I don't know about. I downloaded full feature software and drivers for the 6180 from HP and performed various levels of uninstall (L1, L2, L3, L4). I also cleaned the registry with ccleaner, windows disk cleanup and manual registry deletions when allowed per HP. I have checked port settings, tried stopping HP functions is Services.Msc. The Digital monitor is currently running, however no scanner communication-computer to 6180 and no scanner communication 6180 to computer. I can print and fax from computer wirelessly. I have ran the HP diagnostic utility separately and it appears everything is fine, connection IPaddress etc. During install when prompted to run test it says the printer is connected to the network. I have tried to add a device to the network after install and get the message no wireless devices found. The scanner does not appear under Cameras and Scanners in control panel. Nor will it find the scanner when I try to add device. Firewalls and antivirus have been turned off. Still can't make it work. Suggestions please.

Sorry about your pain. L3 uninstall is what I recommend. Re-install from hp.com and this time, with the printer properly attached it should flow OK.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
I am employed by HP
