Startup is starting to lag more than usual

Startup is taking longing than usual, I have checked the startup folder but that doesn't seem to be the cause

Yes PC performance degrades over time. The steps I take to keep mine running well include keeping the startup routine lean....turn off unneeded programs that start automatically with Windows, Also I routinely run CCleaner and clean out the old junk files and also run the registry cleaner, and also run Defraggler (CCleaner and Defraggler come from piriform.com). Also I refuse to run the mainstream antivirus programs, because I still believe they take too big of a bite out of performance. I now include AVG in that. I prefer to run Avast! or Avira because I believe they are much lighter. I set my browser to destroy history and all cached data when I exit. I run Malwarebytes Antimalware about every other week, too.

  • Bugged audio playback? When I start working with more than 1 audio track.

    Hi!
    I have been using premiere elements 12 for editing FullHD videos.
    Brand new for me just bought it like 2 weeks ago.
    Now during the last couple weeks I have had this MAJOR proglem with editing the audio.
    This problem is headache and turns my simple editing into almost impossibilites.
    I have had this problem with all my projects. _ALL_
    Usually the problem seems to appear when I want to start working with several audio tracks.
    At somepoint my projects just get ruined, I simply cannot hear the audio tracks.
    The audio starts to disapear randomly from all the audio tracks.
    It is not only playback problem. When I exported the video, the audio was partly missing, same as the project.
    I have tried to look help on forums and search all what I could find, but havent been able to solve this.
    Small fix has slightly helped:
    I export audio to single track and bring it back to project. This works but I still usually have more editing to do.
    I simply cannot understand why the playback disapears, I fear it is a bug.
    I found lot of earlier version problems on people with similar type of problems, but no help for this version of program.
    To solve the matter I have changed my audio setting in PE12.
    Tried Premiere Elements WDM Sound and ASIO4ALL V2, but same problem on both.
    I have looked up that my audio playback device and PE12 matches, and are not muted, and volumes maxed.
    I have deleted my C:\ appdata\roaming\adobe  premiere elements & premiere elements 12 folder preferences.. not helping..
    I press the update pretty much everyday hoping for new version.. But yes, program keeps telling me its the latest.
    I usually only work with 3 audio track maxinum. And I am doing really the most basic stuff here..
    I have set all my audios to foreground and it has given me best results, but it does not seem to take the problem away as at somepoint randomly my audio playback is missing again, randomly across the playback.
    Please anyone? I am feeling hopeless here.
    Info on my computer:
    Operating system: Win7
    Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) x4 955 processor 3.20 GHz
    memory (RAM): 4GB
    system: 64bit

    First of all, thank you for replying my message!
    I will go and try to answer best I can.
    Source media properties:
    Progressive frame rate, I record this from a game.
    Recording program: dxtory
    codec: Lagarith Lossless codec
    Format: avi
    Frame width: 1920
    Frame height: 1080
    Data rate: 1990656kbps
    total bit rate 1992192kbps
    Frame rate 30/frames/seccond
    Audio of video properties:
    Codec: PCM
    Format: 16bit, stereo
    Bit rate: 1536kbps
    Channels: 2(stereo)
    Audio sample rate 48 kHz
    In addition to that I use wav files for music and narrate
    Music files sizes 20-50mb
    bit rate: ~1411kbps
    In total sizes of audio involved is usually something like 300mb
    What are you or the program setting as the project preset in the new project dialog. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and its Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size readings.
    I opened new project and this is what i got:
    Editing mode: HD 1080i
    Timebase: 25,00 frames/second
    Frame size: 1920 x1080
    Audio is 48000 Hz
    (I dont know how to change these, btw. Program don't seem to let me change editing mode.
    I also looked up my most recent project and found these settings:
    Editing Mode: DSLR
    Timebase: 30,00 frames/second
    Frame size: 1920 x1080
    ..and same audio settings
    Do the problems persist if you start a new project? Do you find the audio problems develop when the Timeline content is fairly well developed or can the problems occur when there a minimal amount of content of those tracks? Let us look at the size and duration of this project.
    Yes, I have had this problem with all my projects. Sometimes it goes away tho, just enough for me to work bit more. My work progress usually starts by clipping the video material, like 1h material to 8minutes in clips. After that I want to work with audio tracks, and here problems start! When I start working with more than 1 track, so the problem is at later stage. To fix the problem a small fix I have used, I export audio like music and effects tracks together to 1 wav and bring it back. After that, I start working with narrate track. To describe the problem with audio:
    Audio Randomly starts to disapear when I playback, and can also be gone if I export the video out.
    My source videos total size are usually within 80Gb max limit and audio edit material 300mb total.
    In my last project my biggest source video was 47GB and leingth of 1h 4m, in addition to that I had 3 smaller videos, sizes of 1GB, 1,54GB and 300MB.
    Is there any evidence that you are accidentially moving the audio track rubberband to alter the audio volume. That rubberband is the orange line that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip when you are looking at the wave form display style of that audio track. The rubberband represents audio volume.
    No, audio volumes might have been adjusted in my tracks but they are present. The problem is usually like ~2-5seconds, a random audio track can be heard (like music or narrate) or just no sounds at all. This makes it very difficult to work with the audio. Also I gotta say that this problem starts by simply having the 2-3 audio tracks.. In my recent project the only adjustment I used to edit the audio was fade in/out.
    I don't have any other audio problems with any other programs.
    I am more than happy to provide more information if needed. I hope this information helps.
    In addition I can say that when I close Adobe Premiere Elements 12, it crashes. No idea why.
    I have also looked up my firewall settings, anything involved adobe and premiere..
    In addition some effects like HD text templates make "Adobe Media Core CS6" crash. I tend to just not use em, or if I need em, I add em at end of the edits.
    I hope this helps, I would really like to solve this problem.
    Thank you alot for taking the time to answer! I welcome anyone to help mee too! Please giev links to similar problems too. Thank you everybody!

  • Macbook 2011 Model Hangs more than usual....?

    I have a Macbook ( 2011 Model ) that's hanging longer and more than usual. This just started yesterday, and I've ran a virus scan ( which can back clean ), and clean my mac clean up on my cache. That seemed to help for a while, but I notice after my mac run a few applications it slows down, and take a long time to process anything. I can use some help.

    The most common issues are memory and free sisk space....so how much memory do you hve, and how much free disk space do you have?

  • IPhone 4 battery draining more than usual? Maybe because of 6.1.3?

    Hey, I have noticed that ever since I have updated to my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1.3 the battery has drained more than usual. My battery drains about 1% per minute. Sometimes it drains even when I'm not using the phone? Is there any solution to fix this problem? I would REALLY appreciate it!

    The battery drains on every phone when not being actively used. There are processes going on in the background such as an email account or accounts being checked for new messages depending on your Fetch setting for email. Depending on the cellular reception at the time, more battery will be used when reception is lower regardless if any calls are being placed or received. If you have any push notifications enabled, those are being received. when not actively using the phone.
    Have you changed anything such as screen brightness?
    Are you accessing an Exchange account with your iPhone?
    Any change after powering the iPhone off and on and/or after a reset which is similar to a computer restart?

  • While waiting ... Is your current phone annoying you more than usual?

    This might be just me, but I used to love my Droid (Other than the fact its hardware was greatly underpowered for its Android OS). While waiting for my iPhone, Im finding my Droids been annoying me much more than usual. Im seeing many issues, I never saw before, Im having many more errors - Does my Droid know its being replaced my THE iPHONE? LOL 

    I hate to say it.....but, the past couple of days, my Droid X has actually worked as it should have been working all along!  As I have said in previous posts, I have had 6 Droid X's as they have all been defective. 
    So, of course, now I am having 2nd thoughts on the iPhone!  lol  
    I had the 3GS on AT&T for 10 months, but then I bought out the contract for both my wife and I to come back to Verizon (as we left Verizon atter 5 years go to AT&T just to get the iPhone), and I have been waiting for this day.  I LOVED the iPhone, but just hated AT&T.
    But, now, I am thinking (1) it is still possible (although I think it is unlikely....which is why I decided to do this) that Verizon gets the iPhone 5 (or whatever they are going to call it.....maybe the 4S, like they did with the 3G and 3GS) over the summer, and then we will all be "stuck" with this phone, and (2) I am going to miss the larger screen on the Droid X.  I am thinking/hopiing that after a few days I will forget about it, as the iPhone/iOS will just "work" like it should.  But, since the DX has been working flawlessly the past couple days (finally!) I am the complete opposite as the rest of you appear to be!

  • Yesterday I bought Mac OS X Lion (10.7.5) but I think I paid more than usual.

    I have a MacBook White 2009 which I bought two years ago and it had Snow Leopard. In the last months it had been slow and the start up took a lot of time. I erased every document and every application I had downloaded. It had a memory of 2GB and last week I bought and installed two cards of 4GB so the computer had 8GB of memory. It started working perfectly but yesterday when I turned it on it remained in the start up display for more than thirty minutes so I turned it off and went to an Apple shop. I live in Colombia, and Apple shops here are not directly from Apple. The guy that I was attended by, recommended me to install the 'latest' operating system. Now, I knew that the new operating system was Mountain Lion but in the moment he installed it, I didn't see what he was doing and he actually installed OS X Lion. I realized when I got home but the worst thing is that I paid about 60 USDollars, and I saw that in the MacAppStore OS X Mountain Lion only costs 20 USDollars. What can I do? Thank you for your support.

    Well as you said the Apple Store in your country are not connected to Apple your only recourse is with the shop from which you bought it. Did they actually charge you $60 for he software or is it possible they charged you labor for the technician to look at your MacBook?

  • Backing up more than usual

    I have noticed that my Time Machine has been backing up a lot more than normal, instead of hourly it is more like every 15 minutes it is backing up 34 - 40 MB.
    Is this a sign that something is wrong?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Are you sure it's backing-up move often than hourly, or is something wrong and the hourly backups are taking 45 minutes or so?
    The backups should start hourly.
    To figure out just what's going on, see #A1 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for a way to extract the messages from your logs so you can see the details.
    Also see #D4 there; it shows how to determine what's being backed-up, and lists some of the common things that can cause extra-large backups.
    If neither of those helps, see #D2 there, for possible causes and fixes of unusually slow backups.
    Post back with a copy of the messages, or details of items being backed-up, if you need more help.

  • My fan on my macbook is on a lot more than usual

    Hello,
    I have had my macbook for about a year now. I use it in the same place really all the time for the same purposes. However recently in the last few weeks the fan comes on a lot more and seems to get hotter quicker than usual. Is there a cause for concern or any remedies?
    Ed
    Message was edited by: EdSW

    Hi Ed....I wonder if you have a stuck/runaway process ramping up the CPU usage and causing the fan to work overtime...
    To check...open Activity Monitor...in your Utilities folder and select the CPU tab....in that window go to the top and choose 'All Processes' and look to see if something is using too much %CPU....high double or even triple digits...

  • ITunes 11.0.2 suddenly started freezing (more than usual) and ipod no longer recognized.

    It runs in safe mode, but will still not recognize the ipod. 

    First I would try this
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Next remove the Apple software using the instruction above and install a previous version. You can Google to find the previous versions

  • 10.6.6 is making my Late 2008 MacBook Pro Beach Ball more than usual?

    For much of the day, my MacBook Pro, late 2008, was working flawlessly.
    Then, I upgraded to 10.6.6.
    After that, I repaired permissions. For the first time ever, there were several permissions that were repaired.
    I ran repair permissions again, and all was good.
    Except now, opening programs like Firefox, Outlook 2011, or even certain folders, will cause a beach ball lag of a few seconds.
    This never happened before.
    It happens more so after a fresh restart and tends to go away after some computer usage.
    Does anyone have any insight on what could be causing this?
    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, i have the same problem in my macbook pro late 2009. I saw that downgrading the EFI system to 1.6 (actually is 1.7) solves the problem for a lot of MBPs but for me such was not the solution. I face every day the same problem and i am worried because any solution is working. Maybe downgrade could work for you.

  • Is the App Store broken? More than usual, I mean.

    I noticed last night that according to my iTunes, there had been no new applications or application updates in the iTunes App Store all day. It's still that way this morning - not even any changes to the various featured/recommended applications advertised on the App Store home page.
    Also as of this morning, clicking "Check For Updates" on the Applications page in iTunes causes a brief flicker of progress bar but that's all - no pop-up to advise me that I either do or do not have updates available.
    Now, given the way application updates wipe out data and cause the iPhone to go into permanent "broken-apple-logo" mode requiring a time consuming restore, this is not necessarily a bad thing. But I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing?

    The "iTunes is temporarily unavailable" is nothing new, I've had this message many times in the past. It's probably because there's something happening at the other end. If you keep checking, you should eventually be able to get through to the store. As to the no updates, perhaps there just aren't any updates available. I've got a long list of apps already but I don't get updates for them every day.

  • Calling thread.start() more than once concurrently

    Hi, I got a simple doubt that may feel awkward or absurd to people who are well versed in the java threading concepts. I just thought of it and as I couldn't get an easy answer I am posting this.
    Consider a class that implements the runnable interface. The run() method of the class is implemented with just a System.out.println(). If I make an instance of this class, say 't' in the main method and calling t.start() susequently twice or thrice; an illegal ThreadStateException will be thrown. The code snippet is as follows:
    ThreadTest t = new ThreadTest();
    t.start();
    t.start();
    It is understood that state of the thread object is changed to run state and so, if it is again started, it must be thrown. So if I put a Thread.sleep() inbetween these two subsequent calls assuming that the main method thread will be sleeping. So there is sufficient time for the first thread to terminate and then only the second will start - still the same exception is being thrown. I tried putting the synchronized qualifier for run too, still no effect - the same only happening. Why the java thread object is made in such a way that once the thread changes it state from Runnable to Running and then finally to dead state, it can be restated back to Runnable state, such that the start() method can be called again. Is it possible or not? Please post your comments.

    As ejp says you can't start a thread more than once - even if it has already terminated after the first start.
    By making threads a one-shot it simplifies reasoning about them: you don't have to wonder whether a second start() will work or not, depending on whether the thread has completed its first "incarnation". It also makes it easier to ensure thread resources are reclaimed. It also avoids semantic issues like whether anything about the thread is "carried over" across incarnations.
    This might seem a limitation but there are many ways around it - simply don't let the thread terminate. Whatever control structure you would enforce by re-starting the thread can be emulated without letting the thread terminate in between "executions".
