why would it take more than 5 minutes to load V4 into Poser 8?
Not just her, but most figures.

Anti-virus software?

Just for comparison, it takes me 8 seconds to load V4 in P8.

Check and see what else is running which may be consuming CPU power?

Just a thought.

OR ............... what BB said.

could be the AV ...
nothing else running other than AV and spyware stuff, plus all the background jung which I can't seem to get rid of in XP. 98 used to run pretty much clean.

8 seconds ...yikes. I need a new system too.

I'll go offline and shut off the AV and see what happens..

Thanks.

what AV / Anti Spyware are you running?
can you do a Alt+Ctrl+Del and show us the Processes you have running?

The capture of the processor resources...the use spiked for qyuite awhile when PSP was loading...I noticed, though, that every once in awhile the cpu would go up to around 30-40% ... appears something is accessing the net or something.

Oooh boy you have a mess there. Kaibach likes to chew on these. Fun fun.

omgawd.
ok...! we can fix this.
while I write up a list of what to kill, please goto http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml and get and install the Startup.CPL. for system maintenance on XP .

using that it'll be easy to turn off what you don't need loaded and there's a lot there.

ok ..first off...thanks for the help :)
I'm happy its saveable :)

startup.CPL is installed

ok these are what I would remove / disable using Startup and what I know is perfectly safe and what you just don't need running all the time anyway.

Adobe_Updater.exe - Kill - Manual Update as this does not update that quickly

rhaphlpr.exe - kill - Rhapsody Helper for the subscription music service. I suspect you don't need it running all the time.. try killing it.

pdsched.exe - kill - Perfect Disk Scheduler. YOu don't need this constantly running.

wodupdsv.exe - kill - some update service. I'd kill it until more is known.

spysweeper.exe - kill - you don't need this running constantly. run a sweep every few days.

viewpointservice.exe - Kill - unless you are running "viewpoint media player' for some AOL items, KILL THIS. it is actually a mild spyware app.

psiservice.exe - Unsure - this is a copyprotection program. not sure what you are running that requires it.
psiservice_2.exe - as above.

photoshopelementsdeviceconnect.exe - Non Essential..personally I'd kill it.

pd9engine.exe - Kill - part of perfectdisk defrag. you don't need a defragger running constantly.

novacomd.exe - Phone app. I think you may need it.

kodaksvc.exe - unless you are sharing your Printer, kill.

jqs.exe - http://techsalsa.com/what-is-jqsexe-and-how-to-disable-it/

photoshopelementsfileagent.exe - only needed if you use the Elements Organiser to track files. if not, Kill.

viewmgr.exe - Kill

ssu.exe - Kill - Spysweeper. you don't need this running constantly. run a sweep every few days.

incdsvr.exe - Nero Bloat. Kill.

wrconsumerservice.exe - Spysweeper. see above.

khalmnpr.exe - Part of the Logitech Mouse software.

corel photo downloader.exe - Kill.

spysweeperui.exe - Spysweeper, see above

itouch.exe - Logitech Keyboard software. safe.

oh I forgot.. once you've killed them off, reboot.
you should see a huge improvement in bootup speed and speed in general.

I would run something like;
Advanced systemcare free (free) One click maintanace, just click the "care" button in the middle.
Glary utilities (free) One click maintanance on top of the screen.
Optional ; Ccleaner (free)

Install and run , in that order.

Just pay atention to Glary utilities as it "cleans" skype a little too good.
 

But you can uncheck those lines if needed.

The first 2 also have a lot of usefull tools to check Windows, memory etc.

System would be as good as new.

Very carefully check the "options" of a lot of installed programs.

Do you realy need all spyware inspectors? One can get? Running all the time?
Te first 2 , manually, once an evening, do the job quite well.

Good luck

hold on there.
one step at a time please. let him clean the list out first before adding anything else to the confusion.

Indeed, one step at a time.
Just wanted to help, and show how I keep my systems clean.

ok ...Thanks ...
I will get started. I can feel my hair blowing in the wind already.
Zooooooooooooooom

edit: just killing spysweeper speeded my email about 10,000 times. browser, ie8, still pretty slow.

I can't find most of that stuff in the list anywhere to turn off though.

check all 3 tabs on Startup.cpl
some may not appear.. we'll get it tho. one step at a time.

thinking about it.. can you screengrab each tab?

will have to do it more tomorrow ..sorry...
need to get to bed..up at 4:30am

Also if you're feeling brave check out www.blackviper.com/ they have a nice list of all the services that run in the background & how they should be set "disabled, manual, automatic" ,choose the safe option. No Windows user should be without that link.

thats the next step! lol down in front! throws popcorn at Lucifer

eats popcorn thrown by kaibach

Oh yeah before I forget, thanks for the StartupCPL link, it works on Windows7 X64 as well as XP. :D

re: the throwing and eating of popcorn in the Poser Forum ... ROTFLMAO :lol:

BTW  - Please clean up your mess when you are finished throwing/eating because your Mother does not work here and I am sure that some of the popcorn did a "Drop to Floor." :biggrin:

cheers,
dr geep
;=]

now there are pigeons all over the place ...

I don't know what it is about me that pigeons hate but they will insist on dive bombing me when I'm out, one actually bounced off my head a while back.

There is one in town that's very tame though, he only has one foot & has the (rather cruel) nickname stumpy, he'll take food right out of your hand.

Anyway that's enough about pigeons & popcorn, what was the thread about? I've forgotten. ;)

So Dave how's your PC doing now? Load times improved? Resources less hogged than before?

Worried people need to know these things. ;)

haven't had time to work on it. hopefully after i get home this evening.

okies kill off the 2 in HKCU Run.

now you should be running a lot faster right now.
just gonna grab dinner then I'll see about the next stage.

somehow that corel downloader is active again.
yes, it is getting faster. too much stuff trying to access the web.
