My Moms Desktop is running slow all of a sudden...?

My mother is really upset about her Desktop being slow all of a sudden. But her computer had updated something automatically earlier in the day when I was on. I'm not sure what it was exactly. She also said it was working earlier today as well once I left, and then after that she signed off. Once she logged back in it was way slower than normal. Even when I logged in before she got home tonight it took about 5-10 mintues just to startup from logging onto it. She called the Century Link company to tmake sure it wasn't her internet or anything but the guy just hung up on her while he was asking her a lot of questions that she had already done. And we tried re-starting it, and she said she tried to reboot it but the computer didn't even bring up the restore page because it's really slow. And then after that we finally got to restore the computer it still is running really slow. Is there any other way we can fix this?

If the issue began as the result of an update, then use Windows system restore to put the PC back in the state it was in before the update was performed.  Choose a system checkpoint dated just before the update.
You have not stated which operating system is installed. that always helps.  Gp into thee Control Panel; and click on Programs and features. In the left side of the window select view installed updates to see what was installed and the specific date. Note the date and then go into System restore. Chose the system checkpoint with the same date as the update and then committ to the system restore point. When the PC is restarted it should return to its formerly percieved speed, if the update was indeed the issue.  Afterwards turn off automatic updates and set Windows update to check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them . Take control of the updates that your PC receives. Don't let the operating system do that for you automatically.

  • Calc scripts are running slow(all of a sudden)

    All of a sudden, for the past few days, we are noticing that all our calc scripts have been running very slow.
    The same scripts used to run much faster earlier.
    Has anybody seen this kind of scenario?
    We did a RAM upgrade on the eas server, and have restarted all services.
    Other than that, nothing has changed in our system.
    Thanks.

    It can be quite common for calcs to slow down over time, but there are some things to do to mitigate this.
    1. Are you using Intelligent Calc? All things being equal (a very broad statement in essbase, since things are never equal) if there is more activity by users, it could affect how many blocks are marked dirty. This is probably not your issue, because a properly written calc wouldn't slow down much for this reason. I had to mention it though because I have seen an installation where their calc was 'Calc All' and they used intelligent calc to create the scope of the calc. (bad, very bad)
    2. Do you perform DB restructures? (either explicity by Restructuring or by exporting level 0, clearing and import level 0 then agg) If this is not done on a regular basis (regular depends on the usage of the cube) then you could be experiencing fragmentation, which increases the size of the database, increasing run times.
    3. Have you just added another fiscal year to the database? More data means bigger database.
    RAM upgrade on the EAS server shouldn't affect calc times (unless essbase services are also running on the EAS server, then there might be something to it).
    Most of these (and other) issues can be mitigated by applying proper scope to your calcs (Fix statements).
    What environment are you running in? Windows or Unix?
    New application?
    What kind of time increases are we talking about here?

  • Macbook running slow all of a sudden!

    Hello,
    My macbook (late 2011) has started running crazy slow out of nowhere. I'm on 10.7.5 I know it's old but I write music and I cannot update the OS because I'm in the middle of a project. I'm backing up the hard drive right now. Here's what I've done so far any advice would be greatly appreciated:
    Repaired Disc permissions.
    Deleted Chrome.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    I have 100 Gig free on my hard drive.
    It's not a ram issue as things have been running great until yesterday with no program changes.
    Thanks for your time.

    Here's the report. I used Adware Medic to remove "searchme". But it's still in the report even though Adware says it's all clear.

  • My applets run slow all of a sudden!

    I am running Windows XP SP3.
    Yesturday I tested one of my java applets and everything move around perfectly fine.
    Now if I try to run a java applet all of the items on the screen (stuff being drawn) move TWICE as slow.
    I tried running one on my laptop and it runs perfectly fine.
    I tried reinstalling Java 6 and JDK and recompiling all of the programs but I have had no luck.
    I have not installed anything from when I last ran them.
    Anyone know what I should do?

  • My Macbook Pro is running slow all of a sudden

    I woke up my computer from sleep mode about an hour ago, and the fan automatically came on pretty loudly. I noticed my computer was very slow - if I clicked on something, there would be a long delay, etc. I tried restarting but no change. I checked the activity monitor and even when I have nothing open, I have low user CPU but high system CPU (50-60% when idling). I've tried looking all over for some suggestions but I haven't found anything. Any ideas?

  • Running slow all of a sudden

    Whenever my powerbook is not laying flat it gets the beachball of death. When it is sitting on my desk, there is no problem. I have tried everything I know. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

    I don't have a definite answer, but I suggested in another thread, with someone who says their PowerBook works fine sideways (?), that it may be due to your SMS, or Sudden Motion Sensor, in your PowerBook which would make it a hardware issue.
    However, that is, if your model was equipped with that, on later PowerBooks.

  • My mac mini is running very slow all of a sudden, how can i restore it's speed?

    my mac mini is running very slow all of a sudden, how can i restore it's speed?

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    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. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the instance of a stranger on a public message board. 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.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. 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.
    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 paragraph doesn’t apply.
    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 your browser, 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.
    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.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    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're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
    The test may take up to 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. There is no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window. If you don't see that line 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 your results. No harm will be done.
    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.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted."

  • My mac is running vert slow all of a sudden

    I reinstalled 10.7.4 last month with a clean install today my mac mini is very slow all of a sudden. I have made no changes and have not installed any software since the clean install. When I click on anything the mouse cursor becomes the rainbow circle for 1.m16 seconds (sorry tried to give you guys exact info but i only measured it once:)
    What i tried up to now:
    I tried to boot the mac with cmd r and reinstall. However the moment it connects to the internet the mothing happens i let it run for 2.5 hours and the blue bar did not even give me 1% (my internet on my mac air has no problems.
    I checked disk utility and checked disk permissions and repair disk. both no problems
    I ran activity monitor and here is the info.

  • Time Machine backup painfully slow all of a sudden

    For some reason my time machine backups have become painfully slow for some reason. They were fine earlier today, then IIRC I booted windows, then booted back into OSX to run a backup. Despite there being only 1 or two changes (files added to the system) time machine began "preparing backup" by going through all the files on my HDD! Now, it is backing up, but at the rate of about 5 Kb/s!
    Something is wrong. I've tried deleting the progress file in the backup folder and "resetting" TM by deselecting the backup drive and selecting it again. Nothing worked. Why would TM be so slow all of a sudden?
    Has anyone any ideas?

    iBookguy wrote:
    No pre-backup thinning needed: 18.98 GB requested (including padding), 205.25 GB available
    Copied 105384 files (7.2 MB) from volume Mac OSX.
    That is a bit suspicious, but not necessarily wrong. Something caused it to think about 16 GB had been changed (it adds 20% for the "padding" in the message).
    How are you running Windoze? Is it on a separate partition? If you're running it via virtualization software, with the vm file on an OSX disk but excluded from TM, that's a possible explanation.
    105384 files in only 7.2mb? I doubt it...something seems fishy
    Those counts are nearly always very high, and sometimes crazy high. There's some indication it's counting all the metadata, extended attributes, etc., as separate files.
    If in doubt, boot up from your Install disc and do a +*Repair Disk+* on your boot volume. Then reboot normally and run another backup. That should trigger a "deep traversal," where TM will compare everything on your system with it's backups, to be sure it's got everything it should.

  • IMac running extremely slow all of a sudden

    I have a 1st generation Intel iMac (24", late 2006), which ran fine for three years but all of a sudden slowed to a crawl about a month ago. I upgraded to 3GB of RAM, but didn't see any improvement; I've run the disk utility app on the system install disk and didn't get any problems; I don't see anything in the Activity Monitor that's hogging CPU usage (although iTunes uses about 7% while playing music and 20% while playing video - considerably higher when it loads a new track into RAM); and I have 70GB free on a 300GB hard disk. I realize that this is just scratching the surface, so what else should I be looking at? For what it's worth, yes I have an HP printer, but the drivers don't seem to take up that much CPU time; and I'm still on 10.4.11, so maybe it's just time to upgrade to Snow Leopard; but either way I've been on this system (and with this printer) for a long time, and I don't understand why this would happen all of a sudden...
    Thanks!

    HI,
    70GB free disk space could be at least part of the problem for the disk slowing down.
    Try Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk
    Check the startup disk for errors that may need repairing.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
    If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
    How to Force Background Maintenance
    One way to free up disk space...
    Open Console. Select system.log then from the Menu Bar click Reveal in Finder then move that log file to the Trash. These logs can take up as much as a GB.

  • Running really slow all of a sudden

    what could be the problem. all of a sudden it is running very slow and occasionally even Finder is not responding. is there a disc clean up or something that i could run to help clear up this issue?

    Derek,
    Open Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder, and let us know what process is hogging your CPU.

  • Photoshop incredibly slow all of a sudden! useless :(

    i am running CS3 on a mac pro dual quad core. 8GB ram. i have 150 GB free disk space, and a whole second 250 gig hard drive as well.
    all of a sudden yesterday, photoshop takes an eternity to load up (a few minutes) and to open even a small 300k image it takes several minutes and i get a beachball.
    saving takes forever as well.
    my hard drives i checked and ran utilities. no help there. no other application is having troubles.
    i then deleted my prefs folder. no help.
    reinstalled. no help.
    any suggestions? it's so slow i just can't even use it anymore.
    insane!

    Cocktail is an inexpensive little utility which will do the regular maintenance tasks such as running the Cron Scripts and cleaning out caches etc. at the click of a button. It can do a number of other useful things (including making invisible files visible and letting you choose the format in which to save Screen shots).
    http://www.macosxcocktail.com/
    Onyx, which is free, is reputed to be similar but I don't know how well it compares with Cocktail because I have never used it.
    But you definitely need one of them.
