Do a ctrl-alt-del and kill any .exes that might be killing your cpu's speed. . .
Defragment the hard drive. . .
Could be any number of things really.
My laptop is suddenly running like crap. Its taking forever to load and run anything. It is basically as if someone suddenly turned the clock back on it and made it extremely old.
My first instinict is bad ram. Is there any way I can go about self diagnosing this?

I defrag on a regular basis. I'll check the CPU usage though.
I'm going to wipe everything and restore it all to the default setting out of the factory using an image I have.
This will tell me if its software or not, right?
Oh .
Restore failed
Reason: 0xf0000025
Thats the code I got. I'm pretty sure the hard drive is toast.
Does anyone know if thats just a bad sector on the HDD?
Man I've not worked with any of this in a LONG time so I'm clueless.
i decoded that 0xf0000025 = porn, de ur porn ASAPOh .

Do you have your installation CDs?
No the stuff was on the 2nd par ion of the hard drive. I think I made a backup image somewhere but really if it wasn't hardware that restore should have gone through fine. I'm fairly sure that the HDD is ed.
Find a program to check your HD for bad sectors...there's plenty of good freeware-shareware-Mouseware out there that will do the job....
TDMVPDPOY I think you have a thing for porn as you call it, because everytime there is a computer related topic you post the same thing.

When I had a problem I got the same response.
Sounds like manny needs to apologize and ask for help from the mouse.
user error.
I have a 20 gb Hitachi you can have for free since your old school. stop by tonight!
or you can give me a 12 pack if you want you have any zannax?

Don't flush it I have a USB HD adapter I can transfer your data on to DVD!
Don't forget if you use torrents there is a nasty (trj) out there that will knock out your HD and the NTLDR file. You have to do a compete wipe of the HD to use it again.
Re Installing windows is a band-aid at best. Your old data is still on the HD I can prove it with many different Data recover software out there.
Recuva
Get back my data
Recover my data
etc.... Those programs find the files you figured was gone. So your trj and virus is waiting for you in a music or data file.
One of my favorite infections is the one you get when you download an XP crack
Here you are looking for a crack file so you don't have to reinstall XP pro every 30 days. what better file to spread this infection?
When you install the file it reboots your pc and the next screen you get will read....
You must register your windows before you can log on error
Now your screwed the only way to get your data is with the adapter or slave your HD on to another pc.
I love the infection I think it's funny
The other one is not a joke! It's the NTLDR ERROR
your ed if you get that one.

The only way to by-pass it you must put your XP disc in the ROM and when it says boot from CD you say yes.
and go into restore console mode.
and you have to do a series of dos commands.
restore\MBR.exe and others... but if your infected your NTLDR will not fix.
those commands are only for people with real software issues and are receiving errors.
If you have the infection you have no other options but to slave your hd or used the USB adapter and suck out the data.
If you drop your NoteBook you can damage a sector in the HD and you will have to replace it anyway. There is a laptop service place by the airport they only charge 240.00 to replace the HD with a 60 GB HD they have.
Algens wants 75.00 dollars to bust open your notebook.
Altex wants 125.00
Mr.notebook will do it for 20-40 dollars stay on the access road when your at I-10 and Wurzbach close by your cantone S A!
Keep in mind that pice does not include they retrive your data
what Brand is your notebook? I will fix it for free if it's a DELL.
I could give 2 s about the data on there. I only use torrents from a private tracker so I"m 99% sure they're always clean.
I'm fairly sure at this point that its either a HDD problem, cable problem, or a motherboard problem which will probably just make me cry.
How hard is changing a notebook hard drive? I'd imagine its easy as piss right? I'd just need to get a new one. Thanks for the 20gb offer but I'm thinking a larger one.
damn i wish i was computer savvy like that mouse
i bet he was like The Wizard when he was a kid
except instead of video games
he was good at computers
Find what brand your notebook is and you go to Utube and watch the video its like two screws and then you have to remove the HD caddy it's a tray the HD rest on while in the notebook.
here is a video on how easy it is!
http://video.google.com/videosearch?...-8&sa=N&tab=wv
I had to go look at a video on how to replace a 8100 DELL notebook LCD screen, I found a perfect DELL Inspiron in the dumpster. so I wanted to go to eBay to find another 8100 and try and replace the cover/screen.
I saw how easy it was to disassemble a DELL Notebook and reassemble it from a Google video I saw.
I practiced on a Notebook I got off eBay for 75.00 dollars it had no screen.
I replaced a Video card on it I took off the 8100 I found in the dumpster and sold the notebook for 225.00 to Crazyone.
The rest is history. After you replace the HD you will be helping others and so on.
DannyT has many HDs and a flat screen LCD for sale.
That is not true. My dad was a Heroin addict from Vietnam I was lucky to see The Munsters on our neighbor's 13 TV as long as I had a cigarette I stole from my mother.
In 1979 I was getting high outside the Disco talking about the Judas Priest tickets I got for letting The DJ from Kiss/Kmac radio station touch my package the night before.
Back in 1986 I had a DJ service called spin masters and I painted houses to make extra money to buy speed (the real ) and go see Ratt,Wasp,Saxxon and other 80s bands touring Texas.
1996 I was was just another long haired radio caller to sports radio working at the base and drinking beer and collecting toys and sports cards off eBay to avoid having sex with a very ugly woman at the time.
That is when i took my Infected pc to Help me computers off Austin hwy and they Charged me 50.00 dollars an hour to tell me two hours later they are not sure yet they think i have a virus.
I owe them 107.00 to get back my PC.
I only paid a100.00 for the whole 333 mhz HP why would I pay more to fix it than getting another PC?
So I went to best buy got a WD hd and reinstalled windows for 40.00 dollars.
That is when I decided to see why the Help me computers wanted 50.00 dollars an hour.
I wanted to see what was so hard!
You don't have to be born with a keyboard in your crib to do half the I do if you have Google. Most people just don't want to ask questions they might feel like a idiot? I once asked how to post a picture in my post and I felt smart after I figured it out.
Actually I felt like a 5th grader for about 5 minutes
But after that day, I was on another level of posters in the land of the www
I could post pics! yee haw! and if you want to know yourself?
you needed to ask the mouse...........
I had no pean che Google S A!
I was on my own!
