My laptop is dying, and it's really getting on my nerves. Because copying&pasting can take up to half an hour. Switching windows can take me 10 minutes. Playing a video would lag the entire thing, so only the audio would come out but the video wouldn't play. Joy. Bliss.

My laptop's four years old. Maybe older. Is it time to prepare it's funeral?

it loads all the songs fine. it starts the track fine, but will only play the first 5 seconds and then give me this message: "Windows Media Player cannot find the specified file. Be sure the path is typed correctly. If it is, the file does not exist at the specified location, or the computer where the file is stored is offline."

how can it not find it if it started playing it on its own??
when i go back to my computer, to removable hardware, the mp3 player is empty. actually, the icon is there, but it doesn't even recognize that it exists because there is 0 free space and 0 used space under properties. what do i do?

the computer recognizes the drive, but not any cd that i put in it. it doesnt show a blank cd, nor will it read ANY cd thats in it. ive uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and in device manager it shows its working properly. Sometimes an error pops up- scsi error-disk not recognized. i switched cd-writers, and same thing, so I know its not a bad writer. i went to hp website to see if theres an updated driver, but nothing. it just seemed to stop working for some reason. it had been working just fine. im running windows xp. i do have a dvd drive in it as well, but its working perfectly. any ideas? im at wits end with it!

Whether I am using it at the time or not, my computer shuts off and starts again. I have been directed to the microsoft website for the "cure" many, many times to no avail. Microsoft says that it is caused by my smartlink modem and I need to install service pack 2. Done that and it didn't help. Any ideas?
