Installed programs "slow" to start and close
My OS is windows 8.1 pro. I have a dual-boot with win7 ultimate. Lately some of my installed programs, utorrent for one example takes longer to start than before. It also takes up to 45 seconds to close after clicking X button. Even my office2013 programs
are taking longer to load, they start, but will not open for 30 seconds. Is there any "errors" I should be looking for. What is the best way to check for system errors? I have basic computer skills, but I definitely need a "guide" to help
me. Thanks for any advice

Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
Click Start Menu
Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
Expand Custom Views
Click Administrative Events
Right click Administrative Events
Save all Events in Custom View As...
Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
Upload the .zip file to skydrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem. The
work around is to edit the registry. If you are not comfortable doing this DONT. If you are backup the key before you do
Press Win+r and input regedit
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels. Delete "Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic"

Over the last week, since the problems loggin into the password server that authenticats the CC program login, the muse application is very slow to start and slow to resond to commands. Like its in molasses.
My system has not changed, only the normal windows updates have been applied.
Has anyone else seen this please ??Bad form answering my own question, but I think I found the culprit, I installed, beacuse I thought it was a good think and might be useful, Google drive onto my system. After deinstalling this program, the sluggishness that I experienced within Muse, went away.
As this was the only new thing that I had installed, I think that it was the problem, -

Safari is slow to open and close. It also slows down other apps while it is running. How can I resolve this issue?
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If there's no improvement, continue as follows.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test. -
MacBook suddenly very slow to start and operate
Sudenly last week my MacBook becomes very SLOW to start and to operate. Until last week it was working fine.
I do not believe to have perform anything abnormal and what is new is just the normal updating of the Softwares that is performed automaticlly every week.
I tried to shut down and restart several time.
I tried several time to reinstall Mac OS 10.6.8

What to do ?
Thanks

Why Is My Mac Running So Slow? [MacRx] | Cult of Mac -
Hi I bought the oxford dictionary app a while ago and it worked fine . Now with the new iOS it starts and closes instantly. I don't want to buy it again. Who can I turn to?
Try closing the app via the device's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
If the app still doesn't work then try deleting the app from your device and redownload it (assuming that it's still in the store) via the Purchased tab in the App Store app - or resync it from your computer's iTunes (if you don't have a copy of the app in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library then copy it over via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases before deleting it).
If that also doesn't get it to work then contact the developer. -
Why does my Mac Mini running on Mavericks so slow to start and load apps?
Why does my Mac Mini running on Mavericks take so long to start and load apps?
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.

Files in all programs slow to open and save with Snow Leopard
Installed Snow Leopard, now all files in all programs super slow to open and save - Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark -- all now at least 4-5X slower to open files and save -- here's what I've tried so far:
repaired permissions
emptied font cache - restarted up in safe mode
re installed Snow Leopard
renamed old preferences and restarted to create new prefs
I'm hating Snow Leopard -- eeesh -- this is no upgrade, just a big waste of time and money, any ideas?See:

Acrobat Pro 9 Very very slow to open and close file
Hi all. I have several pc where they are praticly identical. I got one pc qhere acrobat 9 pro where installed and when I try to open a pdf it get too much time.
I already reinstalled it and no effect. When I open a pdf it get 40 - 50 % of cpu and 50 - 60 mo in the ram ( normal usage i guess ). Nothing was running in the same time.
To open a pdf it can take up 30 sec ( realy too long for a simple one page pdf ).
I'm running on windows xp ( P 4 3.2 ghz with 2 gig of ram )
I have no other idea what to try next ...
Ty for your help>>> Have you checked the size of your organizer90 file in the user's profile? That causes issues for us, at least when closing files.
This was the answer for me. I went to C:\Documents and Settings\MyName\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0 and deleted Organzer90. It was 29 MB! Then I opened an Acrobat document, and then closed it. (This action recreated a new Organizer90 file (9KB)
Now each time I open an Acrobat document they load and close much more quickly.
The Organizer90 file seems to be a SQLLite file that tracks a long history of every PDF I've viewed over time. I'm not sure what it is used for, but I'm happy to trade it for faster closing PDF files.
Hope this helps others...

MacBook Pro is slow to start and shutdown
hi
i have macbook pro 15 inch retina
from laat months its become slow in start up and shoutdown?
why?
how can solve it
tnkshm... that's weird.
Someone at MacRumors suggested to clean the system cache and it seemed to have fixed this issue for him:
sudo chown root:admin / (enter password when asked)
sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
sudo kextcache -system-caches -
The program signals an error and closes the program.
When I try to use the program with an .epub file, it signals an error and closes the program. Have reinstalled, but the same thing happens.
What to do?itunes encounters an error and shuts down.
That would be an unusual error message to be getting if you were having a problem with a photo cache ... but just in case ...
Try deleting your iTunes photo cache, as per the following document:
Photo Sync creates iPod photo Cache
... can you get a photo sync to go through without the crash after that? -
I'm trying to send a project over to color from final cut. when send it, color opens for a split second and closes automatically...
project settings:
DV Project 720x480 29.97fps shot on a XL2
The only effect i have on the footage is slow motion to 85%
Any know what the issue is?Do a search: crash on open. Lots of reading.
Maybe a dozen things can contribute. Mixed format/framerate, imbedded sequences, multiclips, illegal file names, that sort of thing.
It sounds like the XML contains something bad.

Network daemon is slow to start and netfs fails, why?
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd alsa)
If I have a network filesystem that needs the network (duh) to initialize
during netfs, it will fail. Why? Because network is taking a while
to actually create the network, and it is doing it asychronously. What I mean is that
the network script completes and the boot process then continues to netfs, but
in actual fact, the network isn't up yet!
If I put code in the network script to make it wait for a few seconds before completing,
in order to allow the actual network to come up, I can get the network to come up
and be ready before netfs runs. And netfs then runs fine and starts it's file systems.
But, why is networking taking so long (like 6 seconds) to start, and why
doesn't it block during the init process, so dependancies will be assured
to have it when they run?
I'm somewhat new to ARCH. Came from Gentoo, don't remember this being an
issue over there.It's wired, and static IP.
However, I forgot to mention that I'm bringing up a bridged interface.
BRIDGE_INTERFACES=(br0)
bridge_br0=(eth0)
br0="br0 192.168.0.40 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth0="eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc"
INTERFACES=(lo br0 eth0)
Perhaps herein is the problem.....

Problems creating background job for program (job open, submit and close)
Hi gurus,
im trying to start a background job using the FM BP_START_DATE_EDITOR to show the start date to the job or if it's imediate. this FM it's working fine, after call it im opening a job, submiting it and call the job close FM and the job close FM creates me the job.
The problem it's when i go to the sm37 to see the job status the job has been canceled, and the job log says that i have to give a start date to the job.
What i dont understand it's either the job is imediate or i choose a date to start the job always gives me this error...

João MartinsHello João.
In debug mode, check the value of variables you passed to parameters sdlstrtdt and sdlstrttm.
As aditional info, I usually achieve your goal without FM BP_START_DATE_EDITOR.
Check this code:
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
jobname = w_jobname
IMPORTING
jobcount = w_jobcount
EXCEPTIONS
cant_create_job = 1
invalid_job_data = 2
jobname_missing = 3
OTHERS = 4.
CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
CLEAR seltab_wa.
MOVE: t_jobs-param TO seltab_wa-selname,
t_processar-line+34 TO seltab_wa-low.
APPEND seltab_wa TO seltab.
seltab_wa-selname = 'P_LOJA'.
seltab_wa-low = t_processar-ficheiro+7(4).
APPEND seltab_wa TO seltab.
*** Submete o programa para o JOB
SUBMIT (t_jobs-repid)
WITH SELECTION-TABLE seltab
USER sy-uname

I am getting a "script error" when I close out the internet, specifically Firefox. My backup internet explorer does not do this. This is slowing down the process of opening/closing Firefox. When I open Mozilla, I get "restore session" even though I have closed everything down. I have "removed program" and re-downloaded Mozilla 3 times and still this problem persists. What is causing it and how do I fix it?
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
* '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''
* Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
