Satellite U400 running little slower now

My laptop Toshiba Satellite U400 running little slow and maybe because i have old drivers for:
*Mobile Intel (R) 45 Express Chipset Series Processor to DRAM Controller - 2A40
Yes because it shows i have version for this: 8.7.0.1007* but the *NEW version* *is: 9.1.1.1012*
Where can i get these new drivers please?
bcz as i said earlier my laptop is runing little slower now.
Thanks.

No smart Paolo, i dont know about smart but now this is second time i tell you, its not the same question it's not about the same driver even.
Read carefuly and you'll see.
It doesnt seem you can help people so good, so plz if you can't help and HAVE NOT knowledge and are not good at PC-solution then it's better to not post at all.... Because if i have followed your help maybe my laptop now would be destroyed, since you said i had wrong drivers for my Graphic Card, i was close to follow your instructions and to mess up and maybe even destroy by uninstalling and installing drivers, because Graphics are senestive now , but i am glad i did not follow your Instructions Paolo30.
*Anyone that know about this issue ? where to get latest drivers for Mobile Intel (R) 45 Express Chipset Series Processor to DRAM Controller - 2A40 ?*

My all reports are running very slow now, I am using Reports 6i?

Dear Friends,
My all reports are running very slow now, I am using Reports 6i. A few months ago there speed is better. Please suggest me the solution of this problem.
Best regards,
Shahzad

Get statspack/AWR running against your database and analyze the reports. 15 minutes interval between snaps should be enough.
That should give you a clue as to what is going wrong in your database.
Since you are saying that the reports speed was better a few months ago, it is possible that you are suffering from "data growth".

Satellite L500 - Running really slow

Since I have had this Satellite L500 which has been 3 weeks it has been running really slow.
Does anyone know what I can do to speed it up, back to normal. Thank you leslie

Hi leslie113,
Its really hard to discuss about such things because nobody knows how much stuff you have installed and a lot of software can slow down the performance because they always running in background.
The easiest way is if you defragment the HDD from time to time and uninstall all programs that you dont need anymore.
*Most important* point is that you use the *forum search*. You will find a lot of threads how to improve the performance of Windows!

Why is my MacBook Air running so slow now?

I purchased my Air in October of last year (2013) so it's fairly new. I only use it for basics such as listen to movies, read articles, Youtube. On Saturday (5 days ago) my Mac froze up while I was listening to iTunes, so I held the power button down until it turned off. I let it rest for about 5 minutes then I tried to turn it back on, but nothing happened. No sound, no picture, nothing. I thought maybe the battery might be dead so I plugged it up & let it charge over night. The next day around noon or so I press the power button but nothing happened. I tried again the next day but nothing happened either. At this point I'm planning to head to the nearest Apple store to see what's wrong with my Mac. I tried to turn it on again on tuesday & to my surprise it came on. It took longer than usual to turn on but I was just happy it got that far. Two days later of using it to listen to music & browsing forums & I've easily noticed how much slower my computer is & now I can hear the inside of it louder than usual. It used to be super quick to do stuff on here & I couldn't even hear the inside of it & now it's the opposite. What could have caused or is causing this? I've never dropped it or spilled anything on it & I still have a lot of memory left on it. Any thoughts will help. Thanks

Why is my iMac running ridiculously slow now?!

My iMac has been solid, but getting slower over time naturally. About 2 days ago after trying to open OpenOffice software, my iMac performed slower than ever - so much so that I had to force it to shut down. Since then, no matter what I try to do, it is SLOW & locks up to where I have to force shut down the computer. I looked at the activity monitor & it doesn't seem like anything is running unusually high. Kernel_task takes up about 190.4 MB of Real Memory & about 1.5% of CPU. Everything else seems okay, but I don't know what most of the processes are. Those processes are shown below. I did an Etrecheck & posted my results below as well. I'm hoping someone can help me decipher this & hopefully get back computer back to normal! Thanks in advance for any help!

It definitely shows only 2 GBs of RAM, however, your system seems to be doing pretty well with just 2 GBs. I agree with kostby about the hard drive. A failing status is a major sign the drive is failing, and a failing drive could be the basic cause of a system running slow.
For memory I would recommend any one of these:
OWC
DataMem
Crucial.com
Both OWC and DataMem vend hard drives, too.

I experienced the same prob with Yosemite where my screen went black on startup. I was able to "fix" it and log into my qccount but my mac is running super slow now even just at simple clicks and commands. How can I fix this? Help please!

I updated to Yosemite and everything worked great for a few days until earlier. My mac was plugged to my TV via HDMI wen everything hanged. I did a hard reset and the screen was just black during startup. There were the startup sounds but no images from the screen. it did have images at one point where it gave me options to reset my password. I did a couple of hard reboots and pressed Alt/Option or Cmd+Option+P+R based on previous posts. Didnt know which w but I was able to access my account and log in. My big problem right now is that my Mac became super slow. Even at the simple commands/clicks

My mac was okay up until a few hours ago. If anyone knows how to fix this, would really appreciate your help. Thank you!

Snow Leopard running very slow

I am running Snow Leopard and my MacBook is running much slower now then when I first installed Snow Leopard. It was very fast, now very slow. Apps are slow to respond or the don't respond at all. I have repaired permissions which helped very little and only temporary.
I have 4GB DDR2 ram. PDF files are now extremely slow to open in Preview and Safari is very laggy. I am using Firefox now as it runs fast. I tried Adobe Reader but that was just as bad and hogged CPU and memory. I completely uninstalled and removed Adobe from my MacBook.
I know a few others with Mac's with the same problem of a very slow Mac. Some have MacBook Pro's or Imac's 1 friend is using a Mac Pro and has noticed the how slow and laggy Snow Leopard has become.
I have scanned for viruses and found none.

Satellite U400 - Slow connection on Windows 7

Hi
I use Satellite U400.
And I can't install wireless driver I dont know why. I open the file and it just won't install but still I think I have the latest drivers for my wireless network,
but my serious question was: why I drop and limit bandwith with windows 7 but not with winXP?
I have 1Mbit/s but example I want to download firefox go to their website's and then it shows between 50 and 70Kb/s but sometimes it gets to my normal max high 120Kb/s, and I saw on google that alot of people have this issue.
And sometimes some website are not loading or I just got error because of so slow connection that websites just turn off :(, never happend before.
plz someone help - any suggestions plz?

> what kind of forum is this? no help for more then one 1 week , more then 10 days now ?
What are you expecting? This is a user to user forum if someone would like to help you then he will post in your thread.
In most cases such themes has been discussed a lot of time here maybe you should not wait only for someone but should use an advanced search option and could search and read in similar threads for possible solutions
Regarding your issue:
> i do have the latest updates and still nobody from you tried to help me to get a fix , why dont you guys belive it? when i said look at google.com and write windows 7 wireless probblem or slow down my wireless, this is a KNOWN issue with windows 7 .
Firsty you said that you are sure it's Win 7 issue
>i have asked around everywhere and they all say it is NOT windows 7 issue it must be the manufacter driver issue .
Now you are saying it;s notebook issue....
So what is your possition now????
How it could be a manufacturer issue if the speed is faster using WIn XP??? For me it make no sence...
However, I googled a little bit an found this:
Tweaking Windows 7 for Faster Online Connections
http://www.brighthub.com/computing/windows-platform/articles/58522.aspx
You can also try to speed up the IE 8
For that use the command: regsvr32 actxprxy.dll
This should be typed in RUN
Then reboot the notebook.

Slow boot on Vista Home Premium - Satellite U400-15b

Hi,
I have just bought Satellite U400-15b and am finding it takes a very long time for Vista to boot up, I have gone into msconfig and disabled the things that I am not using and stuff I think that is not necessary, but still having to wait ages before I can use the laptop. I have enough RAM and processor speed so I dont think the specs of the laptop are a problem
Is there anything that can be done about this slow boot, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

In my opinion slow boot-up or slow notebook operations depends on right OS configuration. I played with this last months and I am now satisfied how Vista boots and runs on my notebook.
I wrote about it in one another thread and if you have some time have a look under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
Please let me know what do you think about all this.

Satellite U400-14B shuts itself off and now it wont start up

Hi
just got a new Satellite U400 this week.
Was working perfectly the first few days, then last night, it just shuts itself off and now it wont start up.
I press the on button and the row of lights next to it light up, but nothing happens I dont even get as far as the Toshiba screen.
I have tried many things. I left it plugged in overnight, tried taking the battery out and no result as of now.
The little led lights on the bottom indicate that there its plugged in, the battery is white not orange, when pressed they all light up again only for a split second.
The only thing I can liken this too is when a car wont start and you keep turning and turning the key, well in this case pushing a button, and nothing happens, the fans dont whir or anything...
help please...

Has extra Memory (RAM) been installed? Try removing one Memory Module and try a different Memory Slot.
If bad memory is not the problem, then there is not much else you can do except send it to an ASP for warranty repairs.

My iMac started running slow now won't start at all

Two days ago, my Mid 2011 iMac 27-inch, OSX Lion 10.7.5 started running very slow. Had trouble opening and closing apps. Then after restarting, it took an extraordinary amount of time to start. Had to shut down by holding in Power button. Restart failed a few times, then I was finally able to get to desktop but unable to open any apps. After many tries and waiting about 30 minutes between each keystroke for something to happen, I got to Disk Utility.
Under the First Aid tab, I ran Verify disk and got "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be Ok." Repair Disk was not an active button. At one point I got to the Force Quit menu under the Apple and force quitted Safari, iPhoto, and one other app (maybe Disk Utility) but then still was not able to Shut Down the computer.
Some background info that may or not be important, I have been unable to Empty Trash or Secure Empty Trash for a long time. Most of my hard drive filled capacity (60%) are photos and videos. After running for what seems a very long time, I'd get an error message about not having the right permissions to delete some files in Trash.
Back to Disk Utility, I tried to run Repair Permissions and Verify Disk Permissions, and both just ran forever (hours) until I stopped them. After 6 hours of reading possible solutions in this community but being able to perform none of them, I unplugged the computer because I couldn't get to Shut Down.
This morning, I plugged it back in and upon hitting Power, it took about 10 minutes to get the User icons. I clicked on mine and got a gray screen with the spinning circle. That was about 30 minutes ago and nothing has changed.
I welcome to all offers of help. My concern is that I was in the middle of copying folders upon folders of photos and videos to an external hard drive for the past several weeks and still have not completed that project. I look forward to a solution that would not result in the loss of photos an videos.

When I selected Disk Utility, the Repair Disk button was active. It ran for a few minutes then read, "The Volume Macintosh HD appears to be Ok." Followed by "Volume repair complete" and "Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required." I have no idea what that last statement means.
I just ran "Verify Disk" and "The Volume Macintosh HD appears to be Ok" was the result.
I also ran "Verify Disk Permissions" which wouldn't run yesterday but did just now. Ended with "Permissions verifications complete."
I ran Repair Disk Permissions, "Permissions Repair Complete."
What should be my next step?

My new ipod touch 4g that i just got is running extremely slow and the apps crash alot. I have about 10gb left out of 16 gb. When i got it, it was brand new, and ran like how it is now. I was just wondering if this could be some sort of defect?

What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
See if working on the main disk is any faster.
USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go. And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too. FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't.
