Topic: Ways to re-speed up my laptop?

[BruceSmith]

            My laptop has a blu-ray player built in. Its got an AMD Turion 64 X2 dual core mobile thingy, 4GB DDR2...When I got it, blu-rays ran fine. As did HD video files.Now however, blu-rays and any video that is 720p or higher stutters and loses sync with the sound making them nigh-unwatchable.And sometimes the strain of it running a video at all cause the whole thing to shut down.Any ideas why this is? It was so great when I first got it, but now it's struggling with even HD-ish Youtube vids.

you can try the flash 10.1 Beta. it's on adobe.com somewhere. not hard to find at all.

I'm using a old ass laptop that was struggling to play fullscreen Hulu or "HD" Youtube, but now it handles them both fine. So that should fix your flash issue.

As far as BRD player. have you had any driver updates or any updates whatsoever that might have affected the player? Have you run a virus/spyware check? Do you have a system manager to clear you memory and clear your cache?

and we also have a thread for these exact kind of questions

Format and reinstall.

You can also almost always upgrade the CPU. Upgrading to DDR3 RAM could potentially make a difference, but not for browsing the web and watching HD flash videos. Update all of your drivers, make sure you don't have a virus scan or something like Live OneCare's tuneup going on too.

Are you running Vista?
