Please Help Me Slow Down My Compter

Lately my laptop appears to have become over-sensitive and reactive to my slightest move, particularly when I most need it not to.
My system is an HP G62 Notebook PC (G62-225NR), Pentium Dual-Core CPU (T4500) running at 2.30 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 64-bit Windows 7 OS.
My complaints are:
Single mouse clicks become double, triple, or even quadruple clicks.
I have tried going into Control Panel > Mouse > Double Click Speed and repeatedly changed the slider from fastest to slowest and vice versa without satisfaction.
One must click on a check box many, many times before my on or off choice will finally stick.
When trying to simply move a window by dragging it to a new location the window will suddenly jump up to take up the entire screen, even when I don't want it to.
And, when I make a selection of text using my mouse (as in preparation to move, copy, or cut it) the selection immediately goes away the instant I raise my finger off the left button and is lost. It is NOT copied to the clipboard. In order get get a selection of text to be copied to the clipboard I must hold down an arrow key with one finger while holding down a shift key to make the selection again.
These problems are driving me nuts.  What can I do to better bring my computer under control?

Hi Tim,
This issue can be caused by the Touchpad sensitivity,

Adjust touch sensitivity of touchpad using the above link that should help you fix the issue, and also check the
drag option to resolve the second issue.
The above link will help you how to adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad. its only for reference.
if it does not work even after adjusting the sensitivity. you may try reinstalling the driver for the touchpad.

  • Need some help with Slow Downs in Java3D and Servlets

    Hi,
    I realize that there is a separate forum for Java 3D, but I posted there, and did not get any response. This is kinda the crux of my program, so I would like to invite anybody on this forum with knowledge of Java 3D and servlets to give it a stab. Between this post and that one, there are TWENTY duke dollars up for grabs.
    Thanks.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=603198

    Let me have an educated guess.
    You calculated the time elapsed before sending in a server request - and at that point you have you updated timeLastStateChange yet, which means by the time of the next calculation of time elapsed this apparent delay is not counted in, hence the slow down in animation rate.
    Hope this helps~

  • Please help: programs shut down after 60 sec's

    *Please help me:* Since two weeks or so (may be, after I updated my QuickTime), every program I opened *shuts down after roughly 60 seconds*. It is not closed but it gets out of the writing mode so that I need to click on the page first before being able to continue writing again (Word, email, also this thread). If I do not always look at my page I loose words and have to retype them again. Also, with backspacing it occurs: it gets out of the enter mode. I am not aware I changed anything in the user mode of my dear power book.
    Thank you for helping! rororoger

  • Please help - simple drop down box

    i am very new to this - i have just opened the app for the first time - i have to create this form by tomorrow!!
    I have a simple list in access - it contains 15 fields in the table - very simple.  I need EVERY drop down box on the page to ref. this table to populate the list - which changes on a daily basis.  There will be a total of 35 drop down boxes on the form - all pointing to the exact same CHANGING list.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    You can enter the sales tax rate for each province as the export value and
    then use the drop-down field directly in your calculations.

  • Please help -  table shift down on FF & Safari

    Please help with my tables. Im using GL CS2 8.0.1
    Objective: Would like my tables (e-commerce site) roughly 5px apart from one another.
    Problem: On Firefox & Safari (MAC) there is a huge space between the cards in the browser. What is wrong with my code?
    Link to test page: www.larchmontblvd.com/test.html
    Thanks
    Jesse

    Maybe I need to be more specific...
    If you look at the page, I've labeled my product cards "Title Card 1" & "Title Card 2". The problem is the spacing between Card 1 and Card 2 is different on Firefox and Safari. My goal is to have a 5 px space between the two cards.
    Thanks,
    Jesse

  • Please help - applications shutting down randomly

    Evening everyone,
    I've used macs for a few years now and am in the process of moving my mum from the crappy family PC over to my old iMac G5, which is just over 3 years old. The G5 is staying at home so mum can use it and I'm going back to uni on Tuesday with my MacBook.
    I've set mum up with a new user account, her iPhoto library is on the computer but the iTunes library and a load of backup stuff is on a Western Digital My Book Home edition external hard drive as there's not enough room on the G5. Just as I was starting to show mum how to use the mac (at times a painful process - she's not the best at learning new computer things) the G5 went and showed me up. It's being pretty slow at opening applications and loading photos in iPhoto and it is also quitting applications without any notice or obvious cause.
    The problem seems to be only in mum's user account which confuses me as it's pretty much pristine. I've scanned it with ClamxAV for viruses and found none and am in the process of scanning the external HD. One weird thing is that sometimes (but not all) after an app has shut itself down unannounced a finder window will open at a specific folder on the WD Hard Drive. It's a random photo file, originally I had mum's iPhoto library on the external drive but have sinced freed plenty of space for it on the G5 hard drive as I feel its more reliable, but there are still copies of all the photos on the hard drive. I really cant see why it sometimes links back to this one though.
    Sorry, I know this is a really long post but thought I'd try and give as much info as possible - I need to get this sorted before I go back to uni on Tuesday otherwise mum won't be able to use the computer and I'm not back again until Christmas! I'd really appreciate your help and any ideas/suggestions you guys could offer. These forums have always been very useful for troubleshooting in the past, just hope my first post can work out as well!

    The following may help:

  • Please help - extremely slow broadband/ technical ...

    Hi there,
    for approx 2 weeks now there has been a change in our broadband connection. We have always experienced an acceptable broadband speed, but something suddenly changed recently and has left our broadband incredibly slow.
    I noticed there was a BT openworld van in our street approx two weeks ago who seemed to be there for the whole day working on the telephone pole. Since he left that afternoon we have had terrible problems with our connection.
    We are no longer able to do simple things such as stream videos, download anything or even open multiple tabs when browsing - its just too slow!
    I did try a speed test linked from these forums which showed that the IP profile for my line is 135kbps, download speed achieved was 116kbps and "an upstream test was not conducted on this line due to a technical issue"
    I'll be totally honest and say this all means nothing to me - I just want my broadband restored to its former self and actually be able to use it properly!
    HELP!

  • Please help. Slow & dropped wifi after putting ISP's modem in bridge mode

    Hi. Thanks for taking the time to read and/or possibly help out with my dilemma. I'm not very apple savvy (even though I love my husband's macbook pro which I'm typing on). Our warranty for our airport extreme is expired & this was given to us.
    Our service provider here in Winnipeg Canada is Shaw Communications. We have a fast connection - Broadband 50. There are 4 of us living here - 2 kids, 2 adults & we all have cellphones, computers, ipods etc using the internet by ethernet cable or wifi. Sometimes my son has 7 friends also trying to use it. Normally we have no problems, except to me the wifi seemed slow. So I made a couple changes & wish I hadn't & now things are all screwed up.
    So, this was our configuration. Our Shaw modem was SMC. It was connected by cable to my husband's Airport Extreme 4th generation base. My son's computers are connected by cable directy to the airport extreme. We used our phones & macbook wirelessly. I don't know if we were getting the wireless signal from the Shaw modem or through the airport extreme.
    2 weeks ago I called Shaw to get their new Gateway pvr system. I mentioned that somtimes the internet lags for my son playing League of legends or when I'm on wifi. He said that our modem was old & they could replace it when they came to install the Gateway system. On October 26th they took the SMC modem & installed a Cisco model DCP3825.
    The wireless seemed the same to me. But my son who plays League of Legends says the game's ping spikes go from 100 up to 700. Before they changed the modem, they were 50 to 90. He also kept lagging and getting disconnected from the game. We all looked online & called a computer place & learned that Shaw gives out cheap modems and the Cisco isn't a good one. So I called back Shaw & asked if they could bring back our SMC one. No they can't, but they can give us a new SMC one.
    Then I searched online for a better router for gaming. This was before I understood that the airport extreme is already its own router. My husband had set it up. I didn't even know what that white box in the basement was for lol. I read online that it's a good idea to get Shaw or your ISP to bridge your modem & use your own router to get better speeds. I phoned Memory Express & Shaw & they agreed.
    2 days ago I called Shaw & asked them to bridge the Cisco modem. The guy did, but didn't explain I needed to reset both routers. So we were without internet for awhile, til my son looked on his phone & figured out what to do. After bridging the Cisco modem, my son's wired connections are fine, but the wifi speeds went from 38 to 46 mbps to 3 to 11 mbps on my phone & the macbook. Sometimes the wifi drops out completely.
    I phoned Shaw to ask them what to do, but they said since the airport is an apple product they can't help me. They said we probably need to change the channel & to call Shaw for help. A call to Apple costs $60!!! I couldn't believe it. So I'm asking for help here.
    Is there some settings I need to change in the Airport Utility to get our wireless connections back to the way they were? Tonight I coudln't even update an app on my phone, the wifi was so slow.
    Should I get them to unbridge the Cisco modem? Change from the airport extreme to a different router? I was going to add another router, but was told it's not good to have the isp modem & the airport extreme & another router on the same network. I would like to buy the Asus N66u router, but can't afford it right now. I am supposed to go buy a used router off of Kijiji tomorrow for $50. It's a Netgear N750 WDR4300 - probably 4000 for Americans. Still sells for $100 to $140 new so it's a good price. Can I use that & the extreme?
    Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read my long essay & for whatever help anyone provides.

  • Please help very slow internet

    HI guys,
    i have very slow wireless internet... Yesterday i have update to 8 MB. I have one PC where router is connected to. I did speedtest.net and it shows 6.4 mb which is really cool.I have MBP in my room about 15 meters away and 2 doors in way(don't know if that matters) I am connected by wireless. I have download AirGrab wifi radar and it shows only 32% signal and when i do speedtest it shows only 226kbps Then i sit next to router so the radar shows 100% signal and the speed was 1.4 MB a little bit better but still not enough. What should i do or buy to get as fast connection as possible. I feel horrible the PC is 8 years old with 6mb speed and my mac pro.. well u know. Thanks a lot Tomas

    I have had problems with this for the entire time (18 months) I've had my Mac Book Pro. My desktop is noticeably faster with wireless than my MBP. Transferring music through iTunes is also slow. It will break up. Sometimes restarting my mbp will help with the speed. I'd love to find a solution.

  • Please Help Me Track Down 64bit Drivers (GX620)

    I must be the dumbest user now that I've registered.  I cannot find the 64 bit drivers for my GX620 anywhere!  I did find them on some other website but the dates of the posted drivers were from 2008.  I'd really like a solid link to the driver download site.  Some of the link posted in this forum actually just led me to the "Choose Your Region" page.
    I searched the forums as well and did not come across any links or posts that were helpful to me.  Am I just really dense?!  Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    ii wrote this with some help a while ago but i havent done java at all since so im totaly clueless again. if someone could help i would be really greatful, thanks.

    ok chill man, and i wasnt asking you to do it for me or nothign liek that.
    its mostly these parts im having trouble explaining
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); //receive input from keyboard
              System.out.print("Enter the number of times you would like to toss two dice: "); //prompt user for input
              int timesToToss = scan.nextInt(); //read in user input
    die1 = (int) (Math.random()*6+1); //assign random number (1 through 6) to dice one
                   die2 = (int) (Math.random()*6+1); //assign random number (1 through 6) to dice two
                   diceSum[(6*(die1-1))+die2]++; //add one to appropriate cell in distribution table
                   frequencySum[die1+die2]++; //add one to appropriate sum counter
                   if(i%6 == 1) //if at the beginning of a table row
                        System.out.print(i/6+1 + "\t|"); //print row number
                   System.out.print(diceSum[i]+ "\t"); //for each cell in a row, print its value
                   if(i%6 == 0) //if at the end of a row
                        System.out.println(); //go down a linei know in the last one there the "if(i%6 == 1) " and "if(i%6 == 0) " effect the
    "System.out.print(i/6+1 + "\t|");" in some way, but i dont really know how to explain it.
    thanks

  • Please help, unbelievably SLOW transfer rate.  No idea what to do.

    I bought a 500GB TC to use with my recently replaced (and updated) Macbook Pro. I started the time machine back-up process around 7PM last night and I woke up this morning to find it's only backed up 3GB/89GB. Now that is completely unacceptable. I have it on my already existing wireless network and all I'm really using it for is the HDD.
    Now I'm not too familiar external HDD with this setup but I used to own a Western Digital 500GB HDD and it would have backed up twice by now.
    It is backing up via wireless as we speak and still running terribly slow.
    I'm wondering if I should return it.

    Thanks, since my last post in this thread, TC has wirelessly backed up 16.80GB out of the total 50GB.
    I just tried the ethernet route, also TC downloaded an update a few minutes ago. I disabled Airport while enabling the ethernet connection. The Network Preferences panel had a red dot for Airport (off) and a green dot for ethernet (on), and below it, it says "Self-Addressed IP". After about 2 minutes, a notice came up saying that the connection to TC was lost, the only option was "Disconnect". At this point, TC wasn't recognized anywhere on my computer.
    The only way for TC to be recognized is by turning Airport back on. Then I went to Airport Utility to try to make TC work by having no Airport connection, just ethernet. This didn't work, I got an error on the DHCP settings page and the TC flashes amber. After turning Airport back on again and trying to connect the TC via ethernet to my computer, it always brings me back to the DCHP configuration page. I don't know how to properly set that up and the options are to "Skip" or "Ignore", so I clicked ignore every time, so I didn't get far with it.
    So it seems the only way for TC to work (green light) is WiFi, even though it's at a snail's pace. After setting up TC again with Airport Utility, I went into Time Machine to make it recognizable by my computer. Since I only want to backup certain files, I keep the slider of Time Machine in the off position. I then accessed the TC through its icon but there's nothing there. I dragged the files I wanted to copy into TC, thinking that it'll just restart and pick up where we left of, but unfortunately this isn't the case. I'm now backing up all 50GB worth of data again, the 16.80GB that was completed at the start of this post has been LOST!!! Argrhhh!!!
    Warning, DO NOT DO WHAT I DID ABOVE!!! If you're already backing up wirelessly, let it finish before trying out other methods. So far the only option I've found is WiFi, and it's horrid that I've got to start from zero again! If you couldn't tell, I'm typing this and configuring TC at the same time.
    EDIT Note: While configuring TC and sometimes when it's running, the computer experiences some slowdowns. Not sure if this is to be expected but my computer was running slow while pairing up the TC, not so bad once it's running.
