Hp DV6 Slow In WIndows 8 why

Hp DV6 Is not working Well in Window 8 (c) Help i have Duel Core AMD 2 GB Ram

Hi DV6000 User,
Even if there are any drivers missing there are chances that the Operating system might run slow.
hence first try to check with device manager for any conflicts or drivers missing.
These are the requirements for running Win 8 Consumer Preview
Windows 8 Consumer Preview works great on the same hardware that powers Windows 7:
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device or higher
Additional requirements to use certain features:
To use touch, you need a tablet or a monitor that supports multitouch.
To access the Windows Store and to download and run apps, you need an active Internet connection and a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768.
To snap apps, you need a screen resolution of at least 1366 x 768.
I would also Recommend to have a HDD test run from BIOS to confirm the Hard drive functionality,
Perform a Hard Drive Self Test
Many computer problems are related to soft failures on the hard drive. The comprehensive portion of the HP Hard Drive Self Test repairs soft errors on the hard drive, but does not report the errors. After the test completes, be sure to restart the computer to determine if the test repaired any problems you are experiencing with your computer.
If the computer has two hard drives, you should select the multi-bay test option and test each drive separately.
Plug the AC Adapter into the computer.
Turn off the computer and wait 5 seconds.
Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the f10 key to enter the BIOS Setup menu.
Use the Right Arrow or Left Arrow keys to navigate through the menu selection to locate the Primary Hard Drive Self Test option. Depending on your BIOS, this may be located below either Diagnostics or Tools .
Select Primary Hard Drive Self Test , and then press the Enterkey to start the test.
NOTE:
The exact wording of the option for your particular BIOS may be slightly different.
The Hard Drive Self Test performs a Quick Test followed by a Comprehensive Test . During each test, the window displays a status bar and an estimated time to completion.
If any test fails , contact HP service and support for instructions on how to order a replacement hard drive.
If all of the tests pass, the hard drive is not damaged. As a rule, HP will not replace a hard drive under warranty that does not fail the HP Hard Drive Self Test.
If there is no physical problem with the hard drive or memory, then try reinstalling your Windows operating system to troubleshoot the problem.
If you find the above Steps help you to solve the issue. or reach a conclusion .

    I am using Dreamweaver CS4 on windows 7, I put some png images in table and one 900px width image on background, now I cannot scroll the page, I can work smoothly on code view, but really dead slow in design view, Why? I am using Toshoba Tecra laptop - Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz with  2.5GB RAM.
    Is it related to cache? Is it need any special settings for using too many images? Please help.

    Thanks dear, The image has 1.08MB, but I find out the problem - I have 3 transparent images(less than 1kb) as table backgrounds, When I removed those images it works smoothly, I can scroll as well. But to keep the design how can I use transparent image without slowdown. The images are in PNG-24 format and i used those through CSS.

  • Access 2007 very slow on Windows 7

    Access 2007 is running very slowly in on two new Windows 7 clients.  By slow, I mean the response time within Access - moving from screen to screen is dreadfully slow, taking 30+ seconds on Windows 7 to do what a computer with Windows XP will do in
    1 second.
    I cannot find any information that addresses the issue.
    We have been running Windows XP SP3 clients successfully for almost a year.  The speed is virtually instantaneous.  The Access file is hosted on a file server, Windows Server 2003, with SQL Server Express 2008.  Nothing has changed on the
    server.  The Windows XP clients previously and currently experience no problems.
    The first of 2 new computers were deployed with Windows 7, with OS pre-loaded from Dell.  Microsoft update was run to update OS and Access.  Once discovered that Access was running brutally slow, I used the other new PC to test.  Windows 7
    freshly installed.  Office 2007 freshly installed.  Tested - still slow.  Ran Windows Update, then re-tested.  Still slow.
    The issue reminds me of the slowness experienced when we were developing the Access database on my laptop which was running Vista.  So, it runs fine on XP, but not on Vista or 7.
    I'm convinced the problem is a conflict with Windows 7 on the client, but cannot pinpoint it.  I've searched these forums and Google for answers, but have not found any information that has specifically addressed this issue.  Can anyone offer assistance?

    After reading numerous forums , I was able to resolve 
    the following issues (Screens Freezing, Screens Lag/Flickers, combo/list boxes freezing whilst searching for data) by carrying out the following:
    Creating a brand new copy of the MS Access database in MS Access 2007/2010 using the Windows 7 image
    Importing the database objects (tables queries, forms, reports, macros and modules) into MS Access 2007 /2010 d/b within the Windows 7 image.
    Setting the
    MaxBufferSize of 16384 (Decimal), HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (regedit) onto various PCs as recommended by various forums.
    Making sure that the relevant reference libraries have been selected for MS Access 2007. This should automatically set throughout the default
    installation as demonstrated below:
    Visual Basic For Applications
    Microsoft Access 12.0 Object Library
    OLE Automation
    Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
    Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library
    Also by typing in the following words into Google, provided me with some solutions, however the instructions above allowed me to rectify the issues
    experienced above.
    MS Access 2007 slow in Windows 7
    MS Access 2007 and Windows 7 issues
    MS Access 2007 freezes
    Performance slow with MS Access and Linked Tables
    Slow performance windows 7 using MS Access

    Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
    Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

  • Mac OS internet 5x slower than Windows 7 on BootCamp

    Alright, here is my problem...
    My one and only computer is a mid 2010 iMac... I recently moved to a new place. Prior to me moving I was stuck with an awful 3Mbps download speed. (You can tell how much I hated it by looking at my username) Now that I moved, I am able to get much faster internet. So, I got a plan that offers up to 50Mbps download speeds (Xfinity Blast cable internet). I didn't want to rent my ISP's modem/router, so I purchased my own. I got a Motorola sbg6580. As soon as I got everything hooked up, it seemed perfect. I used speedtest.net to see what I was getting. I first tested on Windows 7. To my surprise, I was getting around 70Mbps. I then restarted my iMac into the Mac OS to do some speed tests. On the Mac OS, I was getting around 50-60Mbps. A bit slower than Windows 7, but still very good. The next day I decided to do a "real world" test. I downloaded a 1 Gigabyte file just to see how fast it was. Now, if I was getting 50Mbps the file should have taken just under 3 minutes to download. Instead, it took around 7 minutes. I figured it was maybe just the website I was downloading from. (the file I was downloading was the Cry Enginge SDK - http://www.crydev.net/ ) I did some research and discovered the website testmy.net - I am not sure if this is completely reliable or not, but every test I do on testmy.net I get around 10Mbps. At first I thought it was my ISP ripping me off, then I decided to do a testmy.net test on Windows 7 via BootCamp. (please note that on both Mac OSX and Windows 7 I did multiple tests over the coarse of multiple days) On Windows, I could instantly tell that the test was going much faster. The results for testmy.net on Windows 7 were 50-60Mbps. I did not completely trust the website, so I downloaded the same Cryengine SDK on Windows. It took around 3 minutes, just as it should have. I researched a bunch online trying to find info on this problem. I tried many "solutions" but none of them changed anything. (these include but are not limited to: Tried different DNS servers, Disabled ipv6, disabled sbg6580 firewall, disabled mac osx firewall, tried changing the wireless channel, and reset sbg6580. I came to the conclusion that it was the sbg6580. I thought that maybe an airport express would give me better results. So, today I bought an Airport express. With the sbg6580, I was able to disable the router features so it was just a modem. I was then able to set up the Airport express as my router. It fixed nothing. I am still getting the same results, Windows is still getting anywhere from 50-60Mbps while Mac OSX is getting around 10Mbps. I am out of ideas, if anyone could please help me that would be great. Also, if you need to know anything else please let me know. I may have missed something...
    A quick note:
    At my old house I had my iMac hooked up to a surge protector. For maximum internet performance, my iMac was connected to my router with an ethernet cable. During a bad storm one day, a lightning bolt either hit my house or very close to it. Ever since, my ethernet port has not worked. I have tried multiple eithernet cables as well as multiple routers and networks. I do not have the money for apple to completely replace my logic board. - So anyway, I am unable to test the performace with an eithernet cable.
    Extra information:
    My sbg6580 as well as my Airport extreme are both sitting on the same desk as my iMac, so it is obviously not a signal problem.
    I also own both a iPod touch 5th gen and a iPad 2nd gen. I am getting around 20-30Mbps on both of them. I am not sure what would be a "good speed" on either of these, but I figured that was pretty good for a tablet and ipod.
    The upload speeds on both windows 7 and Mac OSX are around the same 5-10Mbps.
    I am using Google Chrome on both Windows 7 and Mac OSX but, I have also tried Firefox and Safari.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    i lost my recovery partition for hp dv6 63300ee, with windows 7 home,, what can i do to back it?

    Hi,
    This assumes that Windows 7 was the original OS that your notebook came with.
    If you created a set of Recovery Discs you can use these to reinstall the original OS - they will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive as well as reinstalling all your original software.  Remember this is a destructive process, so back up any personal files etc that you wish to keep before reinstalling the Operating System.
    If you don't have your original Recovery Discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

  • Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

    Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
    Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
    - a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
    - other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
    I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
    I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
    This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

    Greetings NoNameGiven,
    If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

  • Is ORACLE slower on Windows then on Linux ?

    Hi,
    I'm suppose to choose the platform for Oracle .... Linux or Windows 2008 Server ...
    Ones we've installed Oracle on Windows 2003 Server and it was really slower like 200-300% ..... we did simple default install
    Does anyone know if this is a fact that Oracle will run slower on Windows platform then on any other ? Any experiance with that ? If we are talking about 5-10% then this is ok and I'll stick with windows ...
    Cause I know how to deal with windows much more then how to deal with Linux admin, install and other stuff ...
    Thank you...

    rather than providing a performance comparison between Linux and Windows.Fine, try here:

    "Roby Sherman performed an exhaustive study of the speed of Oracle on Linux and Microsoft Windows using identical hardware. Sherman currently works for Qwest Communications in the data technologies group of IT architecture and transversal services. He is a recognized expert in designing, delivering, tuning, and troubleshooting n-tier systems and technology architecture components of various size and complexity based on Oracle RDBMS technology.
    Sherman concludes that Linux was over 30% faster:
    "From perspective of performance, RedHat Linux 7.2 demonstrated an average performance advantage of 38.4 percent higher RDBMS throughput than a similarly configured Windows 2000 Server in a variety of operational scenarios." Sherman also notes: "Another point of contention was Window's lack of consistency between many database administrative functions (e.g., automated startup, shutdown, service creation, scripting) compared to what DBAs are already used to in many mainstream UNIX environments (e.g., Solaris and HP-UX)."
    Mr. Burleson's comments seem to be out of line. No, I'm right on the money.
    *I've seen enough companies get burned by Windows (unplanned outages, data corruption) to speak with confidence.*
    Bottom line, it's malfeasence to recommend any OS platform for a production database application that has an unsavory history.
    It does not take a genius to figure out that an OS with this kind of history should not be used with any data that you care about:
    - "blue screen of death"
    - legandary security vulnerabilities

    Good point on the screen saver.
    Comparing Windows 2000, released in March 2000, with Red Hat 7.2 which was released in ... sorry, forgot the date, but I put in a couple servers running that release of Linux into service in 2001. I was kind of hoping that you would have an article which pits Windows 3.1 against the original Linux release. :-)
    You might be happy to know that things have changed significantly since Windows 3.1, and also significantly since Windows 2000. There were many improvements in Windows 2003 over Windows 2000 (I happened to read a couple large books on the subject of Windows 2003 Server a couple years ago). This page contains a couple links that you may want to browse:

    Windows sucks... I have heard that the Microsoft Windows operating system is on barcode scanners, phones, and even car navigation systems. I had no idea that vacuums also utilized Windows, thanks for the heads-up:

    Regarding blue screen of death, those are rather rare with versions of Windows since the release of Windows 2000. The last blue screen that I saw on a server happened when an ECC memory module started experiencing multiple hardware bit errors which could not be corrected by the ECC memory logic. The server hardware forced the blue screen to prevent data corruption. The previous blue screen? A Windows NT 4.0 Server (circa 1996) when a new RAID controller was added to the server.
    Regarding legandary security vulnerabilities, well I don't think that it quite qualifies as legendary. However, given the wide usage of Windows (particularly by people just starting to learn to use computers), there will very definitely be more security issues to contend with - Windows often offers a larger attack surface than other operating systems. Yes, there have been many security problems over the years.
    Regarding memory leaks you could drive a truck through, I have to say that in a server environment I have not experienced that problem. On a desktop environment, I would say that it is typically the fault of poorly written applications which cause the memory leaks. Windows will often clean up after the poorly written applications when they are closed.
    Regarding patching weekly, yes there are typically frequent security and bug fixes released for the Windows platform, but I suggest that if someone is patching weekly on a server, there is probably a larger problem to be addressed.
    Regarding the world's most incompetant tech support, I am not sure that I follow your logic:
    define:incompetant
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3Aincompetant
    "Did you mean: define:incompetent
    No definitions were found for incompetant.
    Suggestions:
    - Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
    - Search the Web for documents that contain 'incompetant'"
    As previously stated, consideration should be given to the operating system which is most familiar to the OP.

          I followed the instructions exactly as in the article.I don’t think there is much scope for error as i did not encounter similarly named files and the described path took me exactly to the file in Program Files. I am certain I have never encountered similar problems with my laptop before. Even if I made a mistake, it would have been so easy to make that I would not recommend anyone else to try that!

  • I accidently closed my window with all my app tabs, now the only window that opens was a 2nd one I had open. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab?

    I accidently closed the window with all my frequently used app tabs, now the only window that opens was an extra one I had opened. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab? edit

    Then the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

  • Focused slow on Windows 7

    Hello,
    some of the users of Focused are experiencing lags when typing.
    The lag grows as the length of the text increases.
    I verified the same behavior on Windows 7 32 bits (Adobe Air 1.5.3.9130)
    It is a simple application, working correctly on win xp, vista.
    Any idea?
    The app:

    Hi Wleblanc,
    “WebDAV is VERY slow on Windows 7 only. When using WebDAV on Windows 8 or using the web portal (browser), file uploads are very fast.”
    Do you mean only the uploading operation in WebDAV of Windows 7 is slow or the whole WebDav performance is slow ?
    Please check this service ”Webclient” from the service control .
    I noticed that the process of creating a WebDAV connection is a little different in Windows 7 and Windows 8 .Someone indeed informed the information that this service will affect the WebDAV performance.
    Here are links for reference:
