yes its a legit copy.will try getting the installer straight from MS site, its the process mscorsvw.exe thats causing the problem, soon as i abort this it speeds up again, but this is something to do with the .net install | |

Ahh OK. Well do that but don't install the .net updates, download the full installers from the Microsoft website and install them in order - i.e. v1, v2, v3.5 or whatever, v4 etc. etc. see if that works. | |

Reinstall XP (fresh install after format), then install SP2 and then SP3, and then do the Windows updates. | |

well atm cant even get it to bring up start menu or task manager its running that slow, its as if its trying to continue install of updates or something, if i can cancel a few proccesses seems to speed up again, but soon as i start to update it goes slow again, so doubt ill be even able to run any apps. | |

pentium centrino 2ghz, and 2gb of ram, but its fast after fresh install, but after youve done a few updates etc it starts going stupidly slow again, it now got to point now its taking forever to do something even though its a fresh install, im thinking hard drive still | |

it seems to start running slow when updating/installing the .net frameworks and updates for them, they just dont install some just say failed, and then it usually just hangs, up until then it seems to run fine, but will continuously run slow after this point especially if i cancel the update, have noticed there a progams running in task manager to do with the updates, but have left laptop sitting for 2 hrs and hasnt budged. seem to get unmountable boot volume aswell which chkdsk/r gets to 75% then all of a sudden shows 50% again then doesnt budge, | |

i was looking on amazon, but all seemed to be £70 region. but he wants to be using things like photoshop on it aswell, which ran quite slow on it last time | |

nah wouldnt be vga drivers, as that would just make visual things choppy, but at a guess id say hard drive failure aswell, ive told him hes probably just best off getting a new laptop, as for price of 120gb hd or similar isnt that cheap | |

I'd guess possible start to hard drive failure. (I'm probably wrong) | |

All drivers installed? If VGA drivers aren't installed, it will appear 'choppy' | |
