    I'd like you to stop being defensive for a while so that we can resolve the problems. While this thread got off topic for a while, it is back on and I have reviewed all of your posts with the following results:

    You don't restore because downloading is slow> you look for the reason it is slow.

    Another indication that 'restore' caused a problem.[/QUOTE]

    I don't have a clue!

    1GB is not enough for Vista. Go to 2 GB.

    You need to stop upgrading/restoring/destructing and watching the temperature!

    1. Remove 2 GB of RAM which was suggested previously.
    2. Test the system and see if that resolves any problems.
    3. Use the msconfig utility to remove everything from the Startup Menu except for those processes tou need to boot: AV, 3rd party firewall if you have one, Touchpad for laptop> Apply> OK Reboot> close the nag message that comes up and check 'don't how message again'. stay in Selective Startup.

    How to Use MSCONFIG in Vista: http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_vista.html

    Don't quote my instructions in your reply. Advise me of how the system is running after these have been done.

    wow i thought i was being professional..., i at times formulated my own ideas/opinions looking for a reponse 'just to see' if perhaps i might find out what was causing it. Everything you guys said i did, becuase i wanted to fix this laptop bc it is important for college as i have almost lost a final paper already bc of the crashes. Im sorry for quoting, when i joined i quickly skimmed the rules, i was more desperate for answers to my problems then anything else. i got into the habit bc so many posts of various other things were going on and i wanted to make sure to post replying to that exact post, just to keep the confusion minimal as this problem has already caused enough for me. I may have come off as defensive, but i didnt mean to be, i was trying to be reflective, i know you guys r experts in this field, i know you know alot more then i do, but since im seeing this problem first hand, i was trying to be as reflective and absorbent as possible, I did, however, do everything as stated. There is tons of info on this thread, and i told you everything even down to little details as my battery, etc. I figured to much information is better then to little. The slow downs were unbarable tho, i mean the computer would freeze for a long time, periodically, and repeatially, virus like i took the precaution and figured what harm can it do, start fresh, you know. I removed 2 gb from my laptop and its going good, i hope it last becuase my laptop has done the same with 4 gb, it will be good for awhile then one day it will happen repeatly.

    Here's a tip for you:
    Copy the reply and paste it in your new post to refer to. When you have finished and are ready to post, highlight and delete the quote. Then put the cursor on the lowest part of the message box and click the backspace key until the cursor is on the line below your last line in the post.

    That way you can refer to the directions, but remove them when you're through to save 'space'. I do a lot of searching every day and when I get on a topic- any board, not just here- and everyone has quoted each of the previous messages, you have to hunt for the replies!

    This way, you have your reference and we have a nice clean board with more 'space'!

    One other way is to highlight a particular reply with a lot of information you want to follow when you post> click on File> Print> and in Print Range> choose Selection.

    This is a trick some don't know but it;s invaluable when you want to copy a part of something.
