Or you aren't updating your OS when Microsoft releases new updates (otherwise I think your machine could have not installed that patch/hotfix), or the problem could be that VPN software isn't compatible with Windows 8/8.1:
 
 
 
 
Or both of them.

Hello all,
 
This is a fairly well-known option but I thought I would post the "how-to" just in case you didn't know about it.
 
This simple procedure will create a Gode Mode Icon on your desktop that allows you to browse almost every available option on your computer.
 
How to activate:
 
1. Create a new folder on your desktop - see image1
 
 
2. Right click and rename the folder exactly as shown below (you can cut and paste the correct rename from below) - see image2
 
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
 
 
3. Once renamed, that folder icon will "immediately" change to a God Mode icon - see image3
 
 
4. Click the new icon and browse all of your available options that are now categorized for easy viewing - see image4
 
 
Comment: This option essentially provides an alternative way to view and access virtually every option available in Control Panel without the need for continual navigation.
 
 
Hope you like it!

Did you try booting into Safe Mode and restoring from there; or, better, booting from a Windows Startup Repair disk?  Anti-virus apps are well known to cause System Restore failures.  In Safe Mode, your anti-virus app should not load.
 
Hope this helps.  Have a great day.

Colin:
 
Your laptop has very limited capabilities: 500 MB RAM and an old Pentium processor.  New programs and websites are much more complex, which increases the load on the computer.  You say that your antivirus comes up clean, but there are lots of PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) that can quickly clutter up a computer.  You should try running adwcleaner and junk removal tool (google them).  They are free.  In addition, I recommend a good antimalware solution, like Malwarebytes Antimalware.  Not all antivirus and antimalware programs are the same, so make sure that you have a good a/v solution.  You can try also optimizing your hard disk, and uninstalling unnecessary programs.  Clear out your temp files.  You can also run sfc /scannow and chkdsk from elevated command prompts to ensure that there aren't some Windows or disk issues bogging the laptop down.
 
Hope this helps.  Have a great day.

Hi jaizx.
You can try to launch sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt (it lasts about 20-40 min, usually).
If you have used Wcare365 system tuneup - startup manager, you could find the removed entries inside the records tab (startup, services, records).
 
[charms bar is the Windows 8/8.1 bar, on the right side of the display... Usually.]

Download and install adwcleaner and junk removal tool (jrt.exe) (Google them).  Run them to remove most of your junk.  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware also has a free version of their program which will remove malware.
 
Hope this helps.  Have a great day.

Nor do I, both on WDC and Wcare365 (portable and latest versions).
Was it removed?
This post was made in may 2013, hence the feature was probably removed from the program after that date, but in the changelogs (on the website) it isn't mentioned and the online documentation - support, help online, wise disk cleaner - still shows that option.

HOW TO POST A SCREENSHOT WHEN YOU ARE USING WISE PC 1ST AID

1) click select image, choose your file (if it already exists), click open, click submit problem

 
2) click screenshot, select your image with the mouse left button (press the button, keep it pressed, move the mouse till you have selected a square containing your problem, release the button), click submit problem

HOW TO MAKE A SCREENSHOT - Second method using SNIPPINGTOOL.EXE
(works from Windows vista onwards... I think!)
 
1) Open snippingtool.exe
You can open it from:
Start, program, accessories, snipping tool Start, run, type snippingtool.exe, press enter on your keyboard Press Windows key + R key on your keyboard (Windows + R), it opens the run window, type snippingtool.exe and press enter Windows vista and seven/7: Start, in the searchbox type snippingtool.exe and press enter Windows 8/8.1: (desktop) bottom-left corner, right-click, run, type snippingtool.exe and press enter Windows 8/8.1: (desktop) bottom-left corner, right-click, search, type snippingtool.exe and press enter Windows 8/8.1: (desktop) bottom-right corner, search charm, type snippingtool.exe and press enter Windows 8/8.1: (ModernUI/metro start) type directly snippingtool.exe and press enter And so forth... 2) Make sure to keep visible the area that you want to capture. 3) Click the new button (of the tool) and select the area in which you are interested to show
4) Check if the image is displayed correctly and edit it according to the forum rules.
You can also hoop/point out/underline some of the most important parts.
5) Save your image/screenshot.
When you want to post some images (or files) on any forum, use the compressed formats (jpg, png, for images; zip, 7z, rar, for files).

HOW TO MAKE A SCREENSHOT - First method using MSPAINT.EXE
(works from Windows xp onwards; I can't remember if it works in win98, WinME, WinMillennium, sorry.)
 
1) Make sure to keep visible the area that you want to capture.
2) Press Print screen key on your keyboard (aka: Print Scrn, Prnt Scrn, Prt Scn, Prt Scr, Prt Sc, Stamp (in italy)).
If you press ALT key both with PRNT SCRN key (ALT + PRNT SCRN), you'll have only the active Window in memory.
Windows 8/8.1: you can press both Windows key and print screen (Windows + PRNT SCRN) and you'll have an already saved screenshot in C:\Users\your-user-name\Pictures\Screenshots, probably saved as a PNG file.
3) Open mspaint.exe (or your preferred painting program).
You can open it from:
Start, program, accessories, paint (mspaint) Start, run, type mspaint.exe, press enter on your keyboard Press Windows key + R key on your keyboard (Windows + R), it opens the run window, type mspaint.exe and press enter Windows vista and seven/7: Start, in the searchbox type mspaint.exe and press enter Windows 8/8.1: (desktop) bottom-left corner, right-click, run, type mspaint.exe and press enter Windows 8/8.1: (desktop) bottom-left corner, right-click, search, type mspaint.exe and press enter Windows 8/8.1: (desktop) bottom-right corner, search charm, type mspaint.exe and press enter Windows 8/8.1: (ModernUI/metro start) type directly mspaint.exe and press enter And so forth... 4) Inside the mspaint area, do a right-click and click paste (Windows xp: you should first select the dashed rectangle)... Or click directly the paste button, if present.
Or from the edit menu.
Or press ctrl key + v key on your keyboard (CTRL + V).
5) Check if the image is displayed correctly and edit it according to the forum rules.
You can also hoop/point out/underline some of the most important parts.
6) Save your image/screenshot.
When you want to post some images (or files) on any forum, use the compressed formats (jpg, png, for images; zip, 7z, rar, for files).

HOW TO POST A SCREENSHOT (OR A FILE...) WHEN YOU ARE LOGGED INTO THE FORUM

If you are posting inside the forum, you have two methods:
1) attach files directly from the forum
- when replying, click more reply options
- click choose files... button, under attach files
- choose your file and click open (ok)
- wait until the file is uploaded
- click add to post.

If you are using MSIE 11, there could be a problem: you must first disable the advanced text feature; this is an error in the forum code (probably it is not updated to work with MSIE 11).

2) upload your image to a website (designed for it), then post its special code that it's usually something like:

{img}http://www.link.something/your-image/{/img} I changed the square brackets [] with the curly brackets {} because the forum doesn't accept them as a code, but you should use the square brackets [] As an example, there is tinypic.com that offers this service.
For non-image files, there is speedyshare.com that offers this service, as an example.

Hi guys.
Are you all using Windows 7 x64?
Are you all using Wise Cleaner 365 PRO 2.98.243? Installer or portable?
Anyway, today there's a new version (2.99.254).

Wise Developers are quick! Thanks to them

Wise Developers are quick! Thanks to them

Try this: open a command prompt and launch:

for %1 in (%windir%\system32\*.dll) do regsvr32.exe /s %1 Then re-try to install the webcam.

Is windows 8.1 your update or installed when purchased?
Most of slow startup problems is caused by updating from old version of windows to window 8.1.

Some ways to have fast startup:

1. Scan pc with your anti virus.
2. Use Wise Care 365, run check up, cleaners, defrag and optimize.
3. Disable some startup program available in Wise Care 365 and Task Manager, but always keep your anti virus enabled and running.
4. Reinstall drivers not working properly and update your drivers.
