  • i bought my laptop in 2007 and it was perfect it had the best performance iv'e ever seen and then the next year it started moving slower and slower and now it's 2009 and it's a lost hope..... it's always freezing up i always run a virus scan and it finds nothing! and no i do not have any start up programs AT ALL and there's something wrong with the battery, i let the computer charge 24/7 and the moment i up-plug the charger the computer will say "WARNING YOU HAVE %2 BATTERY LIFE LEFT!" i don;t know what to do and i won't even bother trying to sell it, I'll look like a fool for sure.... this is an HP Pavilion dv 6000 laptop and it had windows vista home basic version already installed on it i have no idea what to do now and i can't get a new laptop because they all cost about one thousand dollars or more and any other laptop that is sold below that price is a pretty crappy one, so what can i do someone please help me????? also my computers base score is 2.0 everyone keeps saying that my video card and ram is HORRIBLE but i have no idea what that means, but i guess video card is for like graphics and stuff like that and ram is computer memory?? i don't know someone help me out?? and what can i do with this laptop? and i don't think i want to buy new parts for this laptop because it would just be a waste seeing how everything is messed up..... any help???i bought my laptop in 2007 and it was perfect it had the best performance iv'e ever seen and then the next year it started moving slower and slower and now it's 2009 and it's a lost hope..... it's always freezing up i always run a virus scan and it finds nothing! and no i do not have any start up programs AT ALL and there's something wrong with the battery, i let the computer charge 24/7 and the moment i up-plug the charger the computer will say "WARNING YOU HAVE %2 BATTERY LIFE LEFT!" i don;t know what to do and i won't even bother trying to sell it, I'll look like a fool for sure.... this is an HP Pavilion dv 6000 laptop and it had windows vista home basic version already installed on it i have no idea what to do now and i can't get a new laptop because they all cost about one thousand dollars or more and any other laptop that is sold below that price is a pretty crappy one, so what can i do someone please help me????? also my computers base score is 2.0 everyone keeps saying that my video card and ram is HORRIBLE but i have no idea what that means, but i guess video card is for like graphics and stuff like that and ram is computer memory?? i don't know someone help me out?? and what can i do with this laptop? and i don't think i want to buy new parts for this laptop because it would just be a waste seeing how everything is messed up..... any help???

Check out these Microsoft Knowledge Base articles. My suggestion would be to just reinstall Vista. You can also try to restore to a previous state, but I find that doesn't always work well in situations like yours.

1) Batteries last 18-24 months. You need a new one. 2) Look at how much RAM you have - Control Panel/System - look at Memory (RAM). You should have at least 2GB - anything less and Vista crawls. (That's memory, yes. That's where programs run, and Vista needs lots of it. A dv6000 is an XP computer - they should never have sold it with Vista.) You can probably upgrade it to 2GB, if it isn't already there, for not too much money. 3) There's nothing you can do about your graphics card - it's a business-class card. It'll do movies, but may be slow if you watch them full screen. (The larger the picture, the more graphics power you need.) It won't be good enough for most games, except at the VERY lowest settings (settings you won't be happy with). 4) Defrag your drive. There's a defragmentation program in Vista, but there are better ones for free on the web. You should also clean your registry (CCleaner) and defragment it (free programs on the web, again). See if doing those things makes it work better.

use this photo to find your system info - Video card-ram etc. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2460/3749041584_d961d5ccf8_o.png if your RAM is just 512 MB then running vista ofcourse will show very slowdown. you've not told which antivirus are you using? consider scanning again with spybot search and destroy (free) also use CCleaner to fix registry problem and temporary files. (which slows down the computer and other issues) --refer following
