Wamp server slow on windows 7 solution

Spectacular views are you experiencing slow performance for wamp server under windows 7??

i have experienced the same problem and i didn't solve it until i asked the support of wamp server.

So this is the solution,

check you  hosts file and make sure its  only contains:

127.0.0.1 localhost

The site is located under the directory:

c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

And then the performance of wamp server will back again.

Hi all,

OK, but the file c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts cannot be modified even with administator rights. Probably a 'system' file.

How is it possible to midify this file ?

you need to disable UAC completely in order to edit the hosts file

Easier way is to open notepad do the edits and save as hosts.txt. Once saved, remove the .txt using rename.
This will alter file permissions and then you can edit file in notepad and just save, which will save as a hosts file.

Oh man, there's an easier way to do that. Just click on Start > Programs > Accessories and then locate Notepad. Right click on notepad and run as administrator. When the notepad opens up, click on FILE and then browse to the HOST file. You wont see the file until you choose VIEW ALL FILES on notepad screen. Once you see host file, open it and then edit it. You wont find any problems saving the file now!
Cheers!

Hey..

This is a good one..it seems the author knows the subject well. It is a good site indeed. I've been working on getting my website up and going for a while now. I like how it's looking but I'm really trying to find some of the top seo companies out there to help me get more traffic. I've heard that this is the way to go so I'm really hoping it works. The one thing I'm not sure about is what to look for in top seo companies I've heard so many things that I'm not sure what the real answer is. I checked out www.bergstrom-seo.com but even there I wasn't 100% sure on what I was looking at. I was hoping that you could give me some good pointers and ideas on what really makes these companies the best in the biz.

The file must contain 127.0.0.1 localhost! It may contain another masks too, but 127.0.0.1 localhost must not be commented!

havent looked in a while, when i first got windows7 there were no solutions to be found, I gave up for a while.
googled this again today because it was driving me nuts.
This solution works!!
Use the run notepad as administrator option, it did not speed up until I restarted.
Thanks for a easy solution....

Thank you! This has been driving me crazy for months since installing WAMP... although it took me a while to realise that I had to alter the machine I was viewing on' HOSTS file as I have a dedicated server hosting my sites on the local network!

How to backup Access file using VBA code and zip it

Hi, it's been a lot of time since last post. i have found this nice access file that is very useful if you have an access database file that is separated from the original main file, it's mean like this scenario: you have the main program that is an access file (*.mdb or *.mde) (like main.mde) that contains all the forms and the reports and the modules.. and you have a separate file mdb or mde also (like data.mdb) that contains the tables and the data.. in this way you can't make a backup of the data file using backup database tool located in the access software... you need to backup the data.mdb file... so how you do this!!! using the modules located in this file " backup demo " you can easily do this.. just click the button and the program will check if you have installed Winzip... if you did it will backup the file to a temporary folder and zip it than save it in the location you want.. else it will just copy the file to the location you...

source: smallfuel I found this article very interesting... Last week we talked about how taking action is the first priority of a small business (or just about anything). This week it’s time to go beyond talk and start getting things done. With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of the best resources and tools available for taking action, getting things done, and generally being productive.
