every computer I've ever owned has started having problems with it after about 3-4 months of ownership. I need an anti virus program that will visibly make my computer run at its optimum speed, can anyone recommend one?

I have a HP DV4170US
1.73GHz
1GB Ram
Windows XP Home Edition SP 2

I have been having a lot of problems lately with my notebook. I had it serviced under warranty and it has never worked the same since. When I try to shut it down, it takes about 15 minutes to finally turn off. Sometimes when I reboot, it takes 5 minutes to see the welcome screen.

Also, I use a Kensington PocketMouse because the notebook is used as a desktop. I have a printer connected via USB as well. The devices will fail several minutes after they are connected and the notebook will freeze. The Fan kicks into high gear and task manager shows the CPU at 100%. I can unplug the devices and then plug them back in and they will work for sometimes 5 minutes and sometimes 20 seconds before cutting off again.

What could be going on here? I have re-installed the operating system several times and it is clean of any viruses. The mouse works fine on my other computer.

My laptop's screen recently quit working. It turned off suddenly after working fine. I thought it was my laptop but it turned on momentarily but then when I moved my screen, it turned back off, so I'm quite confident there's a problem in the connection between the computer itself and the lcd screen. Does anyone know how much this costs to repair? Do you have to take it to a qualified person or is it easy enough that a computer knowledgable person could do it?
I have a Toshiba Satellite M30 - purchased at the end of 2004.

I have been given a laptop and I would like to restore it to factory settings as there is so much junk on there from the previous user.

Unfortunately, there is no booklet or discs with it, just the laptop itself.

Can anyone tell me, step-by-step, how I go about wiping all the junk off it and also how to make it run smoothly once that's done?

It's a Varga Visionary.

Thanks everyone.

Hey I just bought a laptop called vostro 1500 it has santa rosa platform in it.

While customizing I noticed that the highest I could choose was the t7700 which was like 2.4ghz I want the extreme core 2 duo for the laptop that just came out called the x7900 can my laptop handle it and is it compatible?

and I wanted to add 8700m graphic card but the highest they would let me pick is 8600m gt. Can it handle it.

Is dell giving me these limits just so I can buy a more expensive model of vostro or because vostro 1500 can't handle it?

I am a games modder and so need to edit .dds files, I do this all the time at home on my desktop PC but need to buy a laptop because I am spending less and less time at home, I know that .dds files are to some degree linked to the graphics card and rely on that rather than software to render them. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you..

My laptop keeps shutting itself off when i try to do anything that requires a lot of ram (?) like playing a game or running a virus or spyware scan.
I keep it relatively clean with a can of dust off, and have a chill-mat to keep it from over heating.
Lately even when im not doing anything, the CPU usage will be between 20 and 100%. If it runs at 100% for too long then it shuts off.

any ideas?

I am running on an IBM Thinkpad R51 1830AHU and have already tried this in the BIOS- unfortunately the BIOS is VERY limited and I have no options for sharing memory or increasing the AGP Aperture size. Are there any applications or programs that can change this? Thanks so much.
