IT help slowing down windows xp home sp2

When clicking IE6 to get to a browers, it's very slow or does not work. When I un-check itune help fron the startup box in msconfig. and re-boot, IE6 works OK. Any solution? I'm using XP Home SP2

Debbie, you may have reasons for using IE, but it's really NOT a good program. It allows all kinds of spyware and other evil issues in WinXP. I HIGHLY recommend using a free alternative such as Firefox. It's much more secure and has many more features.
It could be that something you've downloaded through IE is slowing your computer down, instead of iTunes. I run the same thing you do, with a 1.8 mhz processor, and notice no slowdown what-so-ever.
You may also want to try running some type of spyware catcher to see if that's your issue.
Good luck to you!

Setup.exe from Boot Camp won't work with Windows Xp Home SP2

Hi,
I just bought the great MacBook Pro. So I work over years in Windows it's absolutliy necessary to migrate my old System to MacBook. I succeeded in cloning my old installation completly to the MacBook and Windows is activated. when I start windows, of course no MacBook drivers are installed, so I have only a minimum of functionality. Now I want to start the BootCamp to install the drivers. But if I start "Setup.exe" it's ending immediately with: There were errors... before Boot camp could be initialized.
I downloaded the newest BootCamp (3.1) and start it, the program crashes!
I can't get it working!!! What have I to do - please help me!
I use Windows XP Home SP2.
Thanks!

If you didn't try installing Boot Camp from your OS X disc, try that first.
From what you wrote it sounds like you somehow cloned your old install of windows over to a fresh partition. Depending on how you did this, the problem might lie here.
First, what version of OSX are you running?
If your MacBook Pro is new, it should come with Snow Leopard, which wouldn't explain the problem.
How exactly did you clone windows over?
Depending on how you cloned windows, your easiest solution might be to back up any files and applications you need from windows, remove the current Windows partition, and create a new partition and installation of Windows through Boot Camp on OSX. Normally Boot Camp should install its drivers after a successful installation of Windows.

Cannot connect via cable on Windows XP home SP2

Good Afternoon,
Maybe you can assist me here.
I cannot connect via cable my N91 (4 gb hdd) to Windows XP Home SP2. I can however connect via cable to my work computer which has the OS Windows XP Pro sp2.
In both cases both OS's are up to date, I have updated the phone OS to v2.10.013 RM-43. I am using the most up to date drivers that is available on nokia.com as well as the current ed of PC Suite (6.82.22.0)
The following is the steps I followed in both cases starting with XP Pro
1. Installed Drivers
2. Installed PC Suite
3. When prompted by PC Suite connected Phone via cable to Computer, further install steps were required. No reboot required. PC Suite then picked up phone
XP Home
Followed steps 1 + 2 in the same order
3. Connected N91 to XP Home computer, after driver install activity rebooted computer as requested. Disconnected N91 On reboot to desktop, in PC Suite I clicked on Get connected. Select Cable connection when prompted attached cable to computer and then to phone, on the phone select PC Suite. .
At this point I get the hour glass and nothing happens, Next is ghosted. It has been like this for 20 mins.
I have uninstalled both the drivers and the software. For some reason the updater can connect to the phone.
Can you advise on what I can do.

Illustrator 15.0.2 extremely slow on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Illustrator has been working nicely on my computer up until the 15.0.2 upgrade. Now it chugs along at a snails pace and locks up/hangs frequently when switch between tools or windows.
My system specs are:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel i7 Q720 processor
6GB RAM
1GB ATI video card
Is anybody else experiencing extremely slow performance with the 15.0.2 upgrade?

I am having a suspisciously similar issue and I would like to elaborate a bit..
I too have this odd issue where Illustrator works ok (though screen redraw lags) but as soon as I go between programs, whether Notepad, Acrobat or similar simple programs - Illustrator freezes for 5-10 seconds. I go back and forth a lot - looking through documents (pdfs etc.) when I draw so the annoyance is simply unbearable.
I have used Illustrator for ages and roughly 6 months ago I bought a new PC to use at home. Its specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
PROC: Intel i7 930
RAM: 12 GB OCZ PLATINUM
GFX: ATI RADEON HD 5870
MOBO: P6X58D
These specs thrashes my specs at work by far and yet Illustrator BOTH CS4 and CS5 runs smooth and hazle free at the old worn out computer at work, while being close to useless at home. I have googled my eyes out and found no solution. Tried clearing the prefs, etc. - which made no difference. Disabled Aero and all other gfx consuming stuff - with absolutelu no improvement. I have even tried flagging Illustrator CS5 as Large Adress Aware... didn't help
I can run all other Adobe CS4 and CS5 (master edition) very good!
Can someone help - I am desperat

Browser based InfoPath Forms in SharePoint 2010 performance has slowed down after SharePoint 2010 SP2

hi All,
Our Browser based Infopath forms have slowed down drastically after applying SharePoint 2010 SP2. Prior to this, we had SharePoint 2010 SP1 and the timings was around 10 seconds (single user) for the entire infopath form to be displayed which has 10-12
views and 5 data connections and 15 business rules and around 100 fields.
But now after applying sharepoint 2010 sp2, the performance has slowed down and it now takes for a single user around 50 seconds.
Refer to the link below, which we followed by applying the patch as well, but the performance is still the same very slow.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/0b673324-01c4-49f7-86cb-647aa43fefd6/infopath-browser-forms-extremely-slow-after-service-pack-2-upgrade?forum=sharepointadminprevious
We have raised a ticket with Microsoft, but there is no concrete resolution as to what component of the infopath has made the form rendering and display slow.
Can someone point me to the right resource or knowledge base where i can do a kind of debug, which tells me exactly which infopath dlls are the issue or which part of my form is taking more time. I am using AOLPageTest and Fiddler, but they do not give me
any details where exactly is the bottleneck.
Any tools that give me the details of the bottleneck.
Thanks and appreciate your help in this.
Regards
Ram
Thanks Ram

hi inderjeet,
The application has gone live and its on production, the same application is on pre-prod and UAT, system testing and integration environments.
The infopath form used to work very well on all these environments before we installed sharepoint 2010 sp2. but the moment we installed sharepoint 2010 sp2, the infopath forms have slowed down.
Microsoft has acknowledged that there is an issued with sharepoint 2010 sp2 and infopath form performance, but they are not able to provide an appropriate fix on this.
We have another environment where there is no sharepoint 2010 sp2 applied only sp1 is applied and the infopath form works very well within fraction of seconds.
So your point no. 1 and 2 and 3. does not reveal anything. Fiddler does not give any detailed component by component breakup where the time is taking more.
The form used to work very well before we applied sp2.
I want to know a tool that gives me exactly component by component grant chart kind of breakup of time taken when the infopath url is requested on the browser.
Thanks
ram
Thanks Ram

1x PC (Windows XP Home SP2), 1x 4thG 40g iPod, 1x 2g Nano - Data Cables?

Hi, I have had the 4th generation 40g iPod for quite a while no with no major hiccups but have bought my daughter a 2g Nano for Christmas and am concerned about any implications of installing the 2nd iPod to my PC. I've never chosen to update iTunes as prompted regularly as i did have problems with initial set up of my 4thG 40g iPod but now i know i am some way behind on the version of iTunes that i am running. So, my questions, so far, are:
1) If i install the newer version of iTunes from the disc enclosed with the Nano will i loose the music files that i already have on my PC/iTunes? Will the newer version of iTunes overwrite the older version but leave the music files intact?
2) The data cable to attach the Nano to the PC (iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 cable) is identical to the one that i use to attach my 4thG 40g iPod to the PC... can i use the same cable to transfer files/charge for both of these iPods?
3) Before i install the newer version of iTunes should i move my iTunes library to another place on my PC just in case?
Any other helpful advice or tips on how to run both of these wonderful machines on my one dinky PC would be extremely greatfully received... thank you
2g Nano and 4thG 40g iPod Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 installed

...bit of an update since the last post i made:
I have now managed to update my iTunes to the latest version and have also installed the Nano onto my PC. I've even managed to trasnfer some music files onto the Nano also...
However, my problem lies with the iTunes library set up.
The 4thG 40g iPod i mentioned is used by a 35 year old hip hop fan who doesn't need to worry about Parental Guidance and until now has updated his iPod with ALL the songs that are in the library. Now i have a 11 year old daughter who likes typical 11 year stuff but i don't want to trawl thro 40g worth of music to find the stuff she can listen to .. whilst the 35 year old hip hop fan doesn't want to listen to tracks on random only to find he's got girls alound on his iPod!!
Is there anyway i can make seperate libraries for the 2 different iPod models? I have tried going into the iPod options when each of the iPods have been connected and have changed the path to the library but this hasn't helped so far...
again, any help would be truly appreciated...thank you

Mega PC865 DELUXE - Problems installing Windows XP Home SP2

Hi - I have a PC865 Deluxe - (celeron 2.8ghz Celeron, 512mb Crucial Ram) - and a Maxtor S-ATA 80GB hard drive - trying to install windows XP Home Edition - and it boots from CD rom and starts the Windows Setup - but it the windows install fails to recognize the hard drive, I've also tried with a seagate 80GB ATA drive and it fails to find that too.
The bios is recognizing the drives fine - just the windows install fails (and as a result eventually comes up saying Unable to mount boot volume).
I have tried the hard drives in another pc (emachines) and windows is quite happy to start installing on that one - just not on the MEGA PC 865. Is this a case of updating the bios to 1.3 - or is there any other possible cause.
Any help would be much appreciated
BB

Many thanks for all your help,
I have just tried a new seagate drive 120GB - and its now installing fine. Thanks for the advice its helped me lot - can now enjoy the new box.

WINDOWS XP HOME SP2 portable skype version ?

Hello,
first of all, i run windows xp home edition on a very old computer DELL OPTIPLEX 2600 with SERVICE PACK 2.
So i need a old skype portable version because i do not want to upgrade my service pack and i cannot install new skype version because it is too fat for my XP HOME EDITION os.
So please give me a skype portable download link.
Bye.
P.S. = i already downloaded all skype portable versions from http://en.chat4o.com/c/download-skype-portable/ but these skype cannot connect......

Yes. It's no longer possible to login to Skype versions older than 6.14.
http://blogs.skype.com/2014/06/20/making-way-for-the-next-generation-of-skype-on-desktop/
"As a result, we are going to retire older versions of Skype for Windows desktop (6.13 and below) as well as Skype for Mac (6.14 and below) over the next few months."

Ipod Mini that shut down Windows XP Home

Let me describe what I just went through. My daughter's 4 GB mini was wiped I think anyway she has asked me to set it up on the "family" computer. I updated iTunes and then proceeded to update the software on her mini. When it asked to restart my computer I hit yes... big mistake as my XP home machine would restart and then shut down immediately. Finally I went to the system restore and set it to yesterday. What happened and how can I prevent this from occuring again?

hi Chantilly Hokie!
... i'd rather we didn't try provoking a blue screen again, given that you get one of those horrible BSODs on Windows restart.
so we'll nibble around the edges for a bit.
first off, by any chance do you have an early version of Easy CD creator (either a 4.0 or a 5.0) installed on the PC?
(i usually check for this with BSODs (especially 0x50s) under slightly different circumstances, but certain problems with XP and the Easy CD creators seem to flare up after an itunes install or upgrade.)
love, b

ZCM 10.3.3 Agent slows down Windows 7 Workstation login

Hello together,
since we installed ZCM10 our Windows 7 workstations take extremely long time to log into Novell network.
The Novell Login Sucessfull screen appears about 2 minutes before the welcome screen appears. We noticed the following dll tries to send something.
Are there any solution to increase the performance of ZenWorks with Windows 7 workstations?
Sorry for my bad description :) Hopefuly I can answer your questions a bit better.
Greets

Was the workstation connected to a network that has access to the ZCM servers? I've seen it where it takes a long time if the agent detects a network connection but can't contact the servers. This happened to us when users took the workstations (laptops) home. Our workaround was to have them not connect to a network (turn off wireless too) until they logged into their workstation and the desktop appeared. Then they could connect to wireless.

" Thread .join();" slow down windows system

Hi,
I'm writing a multi-thread app. My app threads are CPU-bound.
For simplicity I'm starting to develop the multi-thread using only 1 thread.
My app use "<Thread>.join();" calls for inter-thread sync.
And now ... surprise!
If I launch my app on a Athlon 3000XP+ (with linux FC6x64 with jvm 1.6.0-b15)
I obtain 54000 msec execution time.
If I launch it on a Athlon 3800x2 XP+ (with WInXP-SP2 with jvm 1.6.0_02) I
obtain 80000 msec execution time!!!
BUT, If I replace "t1.join()" with a:
while(t1.isAlive())
Thread.sleep(100);
the execution time drop down to 57000 msec (which is, in every case,
bigger than Athlon 3000 exec. time).
Seem that join() method calls subtract CPU to the CPU-intensive thread!
I have missed something?
TIA

Ah yeah. Okay. Sure.

Audition slowing down windows 7 and crashing after a few minutes of being opened

I read a previous forum post on the issue and tried the suggestions. It didn't change anything. Please help.

You haven't really supplied any detail so that someone can offer some assistance
Some info regarding which version of Audition and which version of Win7 would be good for starters and some info about your audio interface, etc would be good too
I'm going to guess that you don't have a unique copy of either Audition or Win7 and as many users on this forum have multiple versions of Audition running without incident on Win7 I'm going to also guess that the issue lies in your particular setup.
It is what is different about your setup that we need to sort out and hopefully fix
If you really do want some pain then yes buy ProTools

10g2 Install problem with Windows XP Home SP2

Greetings, total noob here. I decided to install oracle as a personal growth experiment, following the directions here:
[link]http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/10gr2_db_single/install/wininst/wininst_otn.htm#a[link]
The database was installed, the users "SH","OE","HR" unlocked.
The only one I can log on with = SH
The POST INSTALLATION instructions tell how to setup a new user that belongs to the group "ORA_DBA" via the Administrative Tools, Computer Management.
Here's a problem - I don't have "Local Users and Groups" available in Computer Management. How can I accomplish this?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Here's a problem - I don't have "Local Users and Groups" available in Computer Management. How can I accomplish this?That's why XP Home isn't supported :-/ You might be able to google for "Users and Groups in XP Home" and hack your way through it. I avoid XP Home like the plague (and don't have any installed) so unfortunately I can't walk you through it.

Server getting slow down

My windows server getting slow down
windows 2008R2 & 12 gm ram is installed but then too getting slow.

Hi
Remove nested select and if all primary keys are then use single otherwise upto 1 rows
also remove the unnecessary code like this
see the below code you added twice the amount there
delete the itab before looping
use single loop to add the values
--calculations--
LOOP AT ITAB.
IF ITAB-KSCHL <> ''.
TOTAL1 = TOTAL1 + ITAB-AMOUNT.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
DELETE ITAB WHERE KSCHL <> ''.
LOOP AT ITAB.
TOTAL = TOTAL + ITAB-AMOUNT .
ITAB-TDSWCT = ITAB-TDS + ITAB-WCT.
ENDLOOP.

Shiva
