I have Compaq Presario C509NR laptop and it came up with Windows Vista. It has 1.86 Ghz processor and 512Mb RAM. The laptop is too slow.

To get it faster, i have 2 opinions. Which is better?

1.) get the windows XP on it.
2.) Upgrade the RAM and use the same Windows Vista on it.


Which is better and why??

Ever since I installed the latest version of Windows Media Player (version 11) on my laptop, its been unable to play any sounds at all. Whenever I try to play any music it says:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly"
I can't think of anything I can do to fix it, and I really don;t know what I'm doing with computers most of the time.
Can anyone please help in nice simple words I can understand?

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?

I have a fairly low powered Acer Laptop - Travelmate 2414WLMi using a Celeron m processor 380/40Gb Hard drive and 256DDR2. I have fast Broadband.
This was used by my daughter initially but is now being put to general use - no gaming/downloading etc. Mainly used for internet trawling.
I have cleaned up the system by using defrag etc (yes I know its not perfect) so there is nothing to stop the machine working at a "reasonable" speed. However it is very slow and when I checked, AVG was using from 15% - 50%+ of processor power.
This doesn't appear right so has anyone any ideas as to how to speed this up.
Oh - there were a number of Microsoft updates waiting after activating it after a few months and a few "failed" for no apparent reason. One was Net.1 which means nothing to me. Could this have caused a problem?
