My wife has a mini laptop which has started to boot up and run very slow. I suspect there may be too many programmes/processes running in the background. Can anyone recommend a good programme that will let me clean up all the unnecessary programmes running on the laptop and then decide which one I want to run at startup?

View 10 Replies View RelatedAnyways, in laptops (gaming or not), does setting the power plan to High Performance actually improve gaming (frame rates, speed and anything else) in battery mode? I'm using a laptop (not dedicated gaming, but suffices) and my games (the recent ones) slow down whenever I'm in battery mode. A couple of friends told me I should set it High Performance, which I doubted since they don't seem to be the type to change the power plan settings and more so with the advanced plan settings.

We skype all the time but she has a hard time using the laptop for browsing the internet. It constantly freezes and seems to be over loaded while running.I had this same issue while using it in Iraq for a year.I have guided her to clean up disk space, stop start up programs, deleted cookies, etc.Does anyone know how to help her speed this mini laptop up?? Also I am looking to buy another laptop with a max budget of 2500, I need a biometric scanner built in with a webcam, any suggestions??? I have always been fond of the Sony Vaios.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy laptop acer window 7 mini laptop use to hang. Sometimes it hangs while booting,sometimes when it has finish booting,sometimes while am working or trying to save a document.Whenever it does that i will short down through the start up button then switch it on again. The system will then give options of choosing repair my computer automatically or start window normal. Most often it still hangs even while i chose repair automatically,the same goes to start window normal. Sometimes it will start working again and then stop any time it chooses.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm being so much busy nowadays, running my self-development programs. As they're a lot of programs, the folders and files are accumulative each upon another.My laptop charger is always connected to the laptop. But still, since a couple of days, has 0% power. No progress in charging, and any improper interruption causes a technical damage to the entire work. Even though I save my work minute-by-minute; I forget for awhile. Knowingly that I exhausted every possible solution, with no results.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just bought a brand new Dell XPS 15 laptop. It has the new i-7 2630 processor, 8 gigs of RAM, 1gb nvidia 525m video card, 750 gigs WD hard drive, R+GBLED display (1920 x 1080), etc. As soon as I received it, I performed a clean install of Windows 7 HP. All the updates and drivers are current.It feels as though something is always running in the background and it's seriously screwing up my experience. The whole thing just lags. For example, whenever I edit posts in Wordpress, it takes forever to delete characters while typing (I'm using FF6). Going back and forth between Thunderbird and say MS Word takes like two seconds to switch between the windows.The interesting part is I'm not playing any games or running programs that are draining the memory. In fact, I only have MS Office, FF, Thunderbird, Adobe Reader, and Skype installed. And yet the performance sucks. The whole system feels like it's lagging, nothing is smooth. Moreover, the fan is on almost all the time, which was almost non-existent with the older system.
The system is replacing my Dell Inspiron 1545 which despite having only the Core 2 Duo processor, half the memory of this one, and on-board graphics, it works far smoother than this one with no lag whatsoever.I tried isolating the problem by minimizing the number of start-up applications but it did no good. Next I used the built in "display quality troubleshooter" and the report came back as "visual effects settings aren't optimized for best performance". But then again, the settings are exactly the same as the Inspiron. And that system ran fine on on-board graphics, let alone a dedicated graphics card available on this system.
The fan in my laptop hasn't been working for some time and the laptop is running hot. When I checked the temperature of the CPU it shows an average of 80 degrees C when running a few tasks. Task manager shows the CPU running at 100% when I'm only running Firefox and 5 download tasks on IDM. I suppose the slow performance is related to the heat issue but I'm not sure if there has been a permanent damage to the motherboard or CPU.
Besides fixing the fan, is there a need to replace the motherboard+CPU as well?
Yesterday I just experienced something weird from my laptop. It became a lot faster after about 4 or 5 times series of hibernation. My laptop is the old Acer Aspire 4530 with proc. AMD Turion X2, Win 7 32-bit, Nvidia GeForce 9100mG, and 3GBs of RAM.
Yesterday I never turned my laptop off during all day. I just hibernate it after 2 or 3 hours, turn it on again, then hibernate, turn on, and so on, starting in the morning until evening. This action repeated about 5 times so I did total of 5 times of hibernation, then at night when I played game in my laptop it just became alot faster. This never happened before.
I have a 1080p LG LCD Monitor.
It has 2 inputs, DVI and VGA. I have two different types of cables, HDMI-DVI and VGA-VGA. I tried connecting my laptop to the monitor.
My laptop has two outputs, VGA and HDMI. When I use the HDMI output, the image on my monitor is sharp and clear. When I use the VGA output and the VGA-VGA cable, the image on my monitor is blurry.
EDIT: My VGA connector also has one peculiarity. From the point of view of the sockets, Pin No. 9 is missing, for both ends. (although it may unused)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm not too terrible familiar with all the ins and outs of networking, but I have some "basic" questions as I am looking into improving my network speed.
I'll begin with what I have on the network.
2 PCs, PS3, Xbox 360 (all wired) and a Wii (wireless).
I have a WRT54GS router currently. I'm considering getting the D-Link DGL-4500 as an upgrade. My question is, would this be a significant upgrade? One of my PCs has a gigabit Ethernet card and one does not. Will this router supply the fastest speed to each device or would it provide the speed that the weakest device was capable of to all devices on the network?
Secondly, my Internet provider offers 3 packages.
7 Mbps X 512 Kbps
9 Mbps X 768 Kbps
11 Mbps X 1 Mbps
I currently have the 1st package (7 X 512), so how dramatic would the change from the 1st to 3rd package be?
I'm primarily looking to A) Get constant good speeds when gaming B) Get significant increased speeds when streaming video etc.
Again, I'm quite new to the networking side of things, so I don't know if these questions even make complete sense, but I thought I'd ask before I try the spend and trial/error approach, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
