My cousin's laptop


LuLu

Recommended Posts

Well, I'm hoping this whole problem with my cousin's laptop is a software problem, but I'm not really sure. Here's the deal...

 

The laptop - a Compaq running Windows XP with SP2, AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 1.79 ghz processor with 448MB of ram, 30 gig hard drive with 15 gigs of free space.

 

Basically her complaint is it's running slow sometimes. She said she'd asked the guy at the Compaq store about it and he told her that since it's a smaller processor and only 448MB, that it will be slow with certain programs requiring more "power", so to speak. She wasn't really satisfied with that answer so she came to me. lol She told me she wanted me to wipe out the drive and basically bring it back to the way it was when she first bought it.

 

So, she gives me the laptop today with the XP disk and yadda yadda yadda. Well, when I turn it on, it locks up on the blue "welcome" screen. So I turn it off, wait 5 seconds and then turn it on again. Locks up again. By now I'm thinking she's got a registry problem because that was the cause of my lock-ups on an old PC I used to have. So I turn it off and then turn it back on. This time it fully loads so I install Super Anti-Spyware, AVG AS and CCleaner. I run CCleaner first and it clears out like 159mb of crap. Then I do a check on the registry and it finds no problems. So at this point I'm puzzled, but continue on. I run Super Anti-Spyware and it finds 2 "mywebsearch" things. I get rid of them and it has me reboot. The lock-up problem starts all over again so obviously

"mywebsearch" wasn't the culprit either. Then I run AVG AS and everything is clean. I run Panda virus scan and everything comes out clean as well. Programs are loading and working just fine (at least for me) so I get back to thinking about the lock-up problem.

 

My original thoughts of registry/malware/virus problems have been kinda tossed out the window. Then I started thinking that maybe she's just got too much crap loading at start up and that's causing the lock ups. I do recall seeing a little window during the lock up that says "Protected By GoBack", but was thinking if that were the cause then it would happen everytime I try to boot up. Could that still be the problem though? Or does this sound more like a hardware problem? I am completely stumped at this point and will listen to whatever input/help I'm given.

I'm here. What are your other two wishes?

Try starting in safe mode a few times, does it still regularly freeze?

 

If it is a hardware problem it could be faulty ram or hard drive going bad.

Try HDTune to test the hard drive www.hdtune.com.

the are some memory test programs around but they take ages to run to get reliable results.

 

Though it could still be software related, so just save all you cousins important documents and format/reinstall XP ASAP. :)

Post a hijackthis log. :)

 

I'd love to, but haven't figured out how to get it from her laptop to my PC. She doesn't have a CD burner and subscribes to a different internet provider than I do so I can't even email it to myself. <_<

Ok I'll try that. If it freezes up then too, I'll let you know.

I'll download HDTune and burn it to a disc so I can install it on the laptop and will report back with any findings. Thanks!

I'd recommend two more things
  1. defragment the HD

  2. remove any unnecessary startup items (Startup Inspector is very good at this)

 

 

Will do, thanks!

Ok I downloaded the programs mentioned and burned them to disc, along with ComboFix. I am currently running ComboFix and am repeatedly getting the message "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." Any takers on this one??

Ok so ComboFix actually did clean up some files. And after disabling GoBack, it cleaned more. I ran HDTune and everything was OK there. Ran disk cleanup, defragged and then got rid of a few items with Startup Inspector. Still having the lock up on the blue welcome screen though. I'll be posting a HijackThis log in a bit since I figured out a way to get it onto my PC....

One problem is that you have the whole panda suite installed and Zone alarm too. Having both of those is going to slow down that system a lot.

Get rid of Zone Alarm.

 

After you do that bring up the task manager(ctrl+alt+del) and tell me what the number is in the bottom right where it says "commit charge".

Ok ZoneAlarm is gone.

 

And the magic number is....305m/1057m

You could do better by cutting down on some processes but the machine isn't really running low on ram.

Did they pay for the panda suite?

 

Things I would do that could maybe speed things up at start up and maybe during use:

 

Uninstall adobe reader and use Foxit reader instead.

Get rid of real player and quicktime player and get either the klite mega codec pack or the real and quicktime alternatives. (if they use itunes then dont get rid of quicktime)

Dump all those toolbars and make sure they are using IE7 or firefox.(both will increase security and already have built in search bars.)

 

roxio go back and maxtor one touch.. are these both back up programs? If so only use one of them and disable the other from running at start up.

 

Try defragging and see if that speeds anything up either.

I have no idea if she paid for Panda or not. Most likely she did, but I can't say for sure.

 

I disabled GoBack and will probably uninstall it after she gives me the OK. Have no idea what the Maxtor One Touch is but will play around with it to find out.

 

She does use iTunes, so Quicktime has to stay, and she uses RealPlayer for some women's basketball crap she watches online. I don't know if it'll play in any other program.

 

She uses some AOL Explorer mess because IE 7 crashed her laptop when she had initially downloaded it. I can have her download and install it again if you think she should.

 

Already did a defrag and it didn't seem to change much. To be honest, the biggest improvement came after running ComboFix. I have no problems running programs and now the start up is faster. And I had 2 successful boot-ups in a row. It's a world record! lol

 

I'll go dump the toolbars. :D

That would work if I could go online with her laptop. lol Should I download the trial version and transfer it to the laptop instead?

It doesn't work. I plugged it into my modem and got no where...I'm guessing it's because she has a different internet provider than I do but I don't really know. Figured I'd dial up to AOL with the landline, but she has the free version of AOL now so I can't even do that.

Definitely tell her to dump the AOL browser, its terrible, and recommend she try using Firefox or IE7 again.

I don't know if her laptop has wireless. Hmmm. Oh well, wouldn't matter much anyway. We're all poor in this neighborhood so I doubt anyone has it. lol

 

I thought I could just hop online too, but I was fooled. :( If anything, I can go to her house when she gets back and run the Kaspersky scan then. I just had another successful boot-up so I've got my fingers crossed that I did something right. lol

BTW I'm not saying that just cos everyone slags AOL, I'm on AOL myself so know all too well how slow and unreliable the browser is. I only use Firefox but my girlfriend almost always uses AOL, even though she knows off by heart now the two responses from me when she can't get a site to load - "Run Crap Cleaner" and "Use Firefox" :D

LOL no I understand. I use AOL myself, but only for chatting and emailing. And even then it'll go retarded. AOL is the only program I know that will lose the connection even when you have an outside connection (dsl, cable, etc). And then you get messages like "Email information is not available at this time. Please try again later." What the hell kind of crap is that? Stupid crap program. lol

 

Anyway, I put CCleaner on my cousin's laptop. She'll need it. lol And have emailed her to tell her she'll have to try reinstalling IE7. Hopefully the laptop won't crash this time around. :lol:
