Windows Visa Home Basic Major Problem
 |
This is really strange.
Your HDD is fine, so it's not that, RAM at 1 Gb is sufficient to run Vista, You don't have any nasties in your system. mmm indeed.
How old is this laptop? Is it still in warranty?

Totally agree with ya caperjack, if it is in warranty take it back! Do you think it's the CPU overheating? That could cause this kinda issue, with lots of freezing.

How old is this laptop funwadi? Do you think that it is a build up of dust then caperjack? It would seem a plausible explanation, if this laptop was over a year or so old.

if your pc was preinstalled with vista, going back to xp is more trouble than its worth. i ve tried that, and all i got was a lot of errors, poor performance, and a broken keyboard ( i physically broke it from frustration, and got it replaced via hp's accidental care protection), and still ended up going back to vista.
if you manually installed vista, going back to xp may improve performance, and save you trouble. either way, you will be forced to switch to vista soon, as xp End Of Life is on its way.
if real player and windows media player causes freeze ups, upgrade to two gigs of ram. But upgrade soon as new DDR3 is emerging, meaning that ddr2 will be in short supply and therefore a higher price.
good luck.
if this helped, add it to my reputation.
