Hi,
I always recommend a reformat. This is what I do everyday.

This will save time and is a sure fix if its software.

Hi cbusen,

XP can read only a max of 2GB.
Vista 32 can read 3GB and 64 can read 4GB.

Even though the computer can HW can handle memory higher than these it is advised just to stay on the limit.

Hello kaninelupus,

That is a step by step process. We have to isolate all possible causes by disabling everything. Of course, the graphics will not look good. Part of the process.

Recovery is always there as a final solution. Because after all software sides has been taken into consideration the recovery will tell us if this is software or HW.

Keeping things simple. There are only 2 causes of a slow computer. Software or HW.

If we disable everthing and its still slow, what does it suggest? Nothing is running why is it still slow? A virus perhaps? HDD issues?

Please, after all software sides has been taken into consideration consider it is a HW.

Hello Suspishio,

It is always a last resort. Based on my experience as a tech support
if this is indeed a software issue it will be very very hard to pinpoint. That is just a suggestion.

Hello,

As an addtion to mickoh27's suggestion. A reinstall should work. If it does not its time to update the drivers from the Computer OEM site.

Hello kaninelupus,

A system restore is for the computer's settings.
Recovery is wiping out everything or a reformat.

We can also try a last goog know configuration.

Hello,

Disbaling all start-up items will never crash the system. It is a step
we have to consider to resolve the issue. This is just a suggestion.

:)

Hi there,

looks like the memory was not properly fitted.

Hi there,

I can offer a direct solution to this.
Reformst the computer. If its still the same its defintely HW.

So far you did everything you can on the software side.

Hi there,

Wow good troubleshooting.
This is a software issue since you can ping.

If you have IE7 try to reset it.
Tools > int opt > advanced > reset > relaunch IE.

Try other browsers as well.
A system restore will be a big help.

If these does not work try to go to safemode with networking by pressing F8 on boot. try to browse from there. If you can reinstall a new browser from there. Possibly the IE is corrupted.

Dont use IE8, please

Hi there,

You are having a very naughty rat there.

Control panel > mouse > device settings or hardware >
There will be the a GUI for the touchpad or mouse driver..If there is none skip that process.

Next step is to reinstall the mouse driver.

Device manager > mouse and other pointing devices > uninstall > restart the computer.

A system restore would be advised as well.

If you have reformatted the computer and its still the same try to update your BIOS.

Hello there,

Your beggining to sound upset now.
As an initial step try to do a system restore first.
Try to copy it from safemode.
Try diabling all start-up items to save on memory.
Try updating the BIOS.

Let me know if any of these help and I'll try to find another solution for you.

Hi there,
Consider the recovery process as the last resort.

This is still a software because of the exclamation mark you saw.

Try:

Device manager > CD DVD ROM drives > right click at the disc drive > uninstall > restart.The driver will be installed back.

Try to update the BIOS from the OEM site.

Hi there,

Refromatting the computer must bne considered as the last resort.

Try uninstalling the optical disc drive driver.

Just got to the device manager > CD DVD ROM Drive > right click at the drive and Uninstall.

Restart the computer it should be installed back.

Hi there,

You may need to install the lastest driver from the OEM site.

Try updating the BIOS as well.

Hi there,

Try to download the the driver from the OEM site.

This might work. If it does not try to reformat the NB to clear waya all software issues. If its still the same it is now time to consider this as HW.

Hi there altf2junkie,

I see that you wanted to speed up the computer.

Try disabling all start-up items. Never keep win def running together with the antivirus. Not a good idea.

To disable all start up items:
Start > type MSCONFIG on start search > click at the start up tab > disable all > apply > ok restart computer.

Try as this as well:
Start > control panel (classic view) > System > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab > settings under performance > select Adjust for best performance.

If it is still the same could be a virus.

You may also need to check if the fan is running.

If it still the same you may need to reformat the computer.

After all of these has been made this could into a HW issue.Possibly on the HDD.

Private Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Integer
Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal ms As Integer)

Public Sub Delay(ByVal delayms As Integer)
    Dim delayTime As Long
    delayTime = GetTickCount + delayms

    Do Until GetTickCount >= delayTime
        Sleep 10
        DoEvents
    Loop
End Sub

Public Sub GetData()
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim Start, Finish, Duration As Integer

    For i = 1 To End
        Start = GetTickCount

    ' Get new Data         
    ...
    ' Refresh DataArray
        ...
        ' Refresh Graph
        ...

        Finish = GetTickCount
        Duration = Start - Finish
        'Delay: Loop repetition after 1s
        Delay (1000 - Duration)
    Next i
End Sub

try this:

rs.recordset.movefirst
rs.Recordset.FindFirst "myfieldname like '" & productid.text & "'"

if rs..Recordset.nomatch then
msgbox "no match"
Exit sub
end if

rs.recordset.movefirst

Do
rs.Recordset.Findnext "myfieldname like '" & productid.text & "'.
'create a code to print the result.
loop until rs.Recordset.EOF

I used LIKE so that it will accept wild cards.

For i = 1 To End >>> what is END?
check this limit.
