What should I do to help improve my friends laptop computer?
My friend is complaining lately that his computer is running slow lately!
his is an Asus where mine is a HP see the spec image attached, as we have both have almost similar specs as in the regards of processor/ ram etc!
we basically use both machines for similar routines e.g email/online research,music and watching the odd occasional video/DVD and some photo editing and Photoshop work, Mine runs pretty quick where his is running a bit slow in comparison and mine is the HP (which is slightly lower in basic specs)!
The main problem with his seems to be certain programs take longer and slower to load and the internet on the same ethernet/network LAN-line (my internet speed is heaps quicker then his, and we both live in the same apartment building of about 75-100 people/apartments, we are both on the exact same internet with the rest of the building,but we both live on the complete opposite sides of the building with me living a bit closer to the office/reception/main modem area, but within minutes of leaving his apartment, I did a quick speed test and mine was about ten-twenty times faster, on the same web browser and the same speed-test!
But my main option why I'm asking this question for is:
A:should I try heaps of 3rd party software to clean it or should I
B: update drivers:
C: re-install it back to factory condition if possible, B4 he goes out and buy a new one!
I'm thinking A,B,C in order!

Is it possible to change processors on a laptop?
I currently own a HP 2000 (I think?) laptop running OS W7 home premium 64 bit with 4 gig of ram & 500 gigs of hard drive space on I3 core 2.20Ghz processor!
Is it possible to change the processor to an i5 or i7 with 8 gigs of ram?
I know I can up the ram from 4 to 8gbs (as it is single ddr3 ram slot & I have one to spare) which I'm planning on doing anyway in about 3 months (as that is when the warranty runs out), but just wondering if i can change the processor at all?
the computer is mostly used for internet, education,work & research (95%). I have no reason to use it for playing games, as I spend more time on the computer learning & working then I do worrying about playing games + I own a Playstation 3 (so no need to use it for games)!
The programs I usually use on a regular basis is graphic programs like Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator & photo/graphic programs etc.
It works fine at the moment, but I would like it to be a bit quicker then what it is!

1 AnswerSkin Conditions9 years agoFrozen food cooking query?
Hi I left some food at a friends place, while had to immediately seek emergency accommodation.
now I'm in emergency accommodation and the only cooking facilities I have access to is a small microwave and a toaster.
I thought me mate would of had the decency to see what was frozen at the time and what was not, and placed them in the fridge or freezer, instead of just chucking everything in the freezer.
Q1:The food i have is Steggles frozen crumbed chicken fingers which is supposed to be cooked in a oven or under the grill, (just wondering if they can be cooked in microwave, and for how long, and if so would they be better defrosted thirst or nuke them frozen)?
Q2: The second is a large tube of potato salad which was fresh until my mate put them in the freezer, (just wondering if it would be still okay to eat, once defrosted)?
Q3: I also have some frozen fish fillets, but once again they have to be cooked in oven, grill or frying pan, (will they be okay to cooked in microwave)?
So would this stuff be okay to cook in microwave and eat?

1 AnswerSoftware9 years agowhat food can I microwave?
I'm currently living in emergency accommodation for a few weeks, and the only kitchen facilities the place has got is a share microwave, share fridge and kettle.
So I was wondering what is something easy I can cook/nuke that would be filling and tastes good, I usually eat regularly large suppers and a medium size lunch, but I always try to eat healthy for example fresh meat and vegies etc.
I don't like 5 minute microwave meals you get from a supermarket as I would probably have to 2-3 of these just to fill me up, plus I'm not real fond on take away or fast food, although I have been living on fast food for a week and a half now as there is 5 major fast food chain stores within a 5 minute walk e.g. McDonald's, KFC etc, plus I cannot afford to live on junk food for however much longer I live this accommodation.
so is there anything cheap and nice and healthy and will fill the hole in the stomach I can make or cook in microwave with easy and simple ingredients I can get from local supermarket?

1 AnswerOther - Taxes10 years agoadvice on flatmate i"m very upset with her?
Advice on my flatmate: Please help me as I'm at my wits ends?
How do I confront my flatmate as she is not 100% all there.
SCENARIO: I moved in 3 months ago, 9th of august 2011, she moved in on the 15th of july 2011, I'm a 37yo male, I work a casual job 15-20/ week plus I'm part time self employed as well as doing a 6 week, 20hr/ week course to gain better skills and education, so I guess you could say my life is busy and hectic, she is 32yo:
The lease is not my name, so I have nothing to worry about there!
But anyhow she is not telling me the complete truth, as I just recently found out she is in the arrears with the rent by $2140.00 (about 2-3 weeks ago) ("almost had a heart attack when I found this out"), the total rent for the premises is $350/week, my share is $120/week as that is all she asked for when I moved in, and I'm 1 week in front with the rent as I always pay rent up front and I have given her an extra week in rent, the last few weeks, I have been going into the real estate and paying them instead of giving the money to her, ("as she seems to be spending it on other thing's)!
But the biggest problem is that what she is saying to me and what the real estate agent is telling me is two different stories:
Real estate: have issued a eviction notice as of 9th of november 2011 ("she has not told me yet") as she has beeen telling me for the last week that if she pay's the rent+ an extra $50/week they are goining to let her stay, She told me a week ago she was going in to pay some money off it, and it was nothing to worry about, she reckons she had it under control, ( something about a friend lending her the money, but the amount changed within 24hrs, as it wen't from $1800 to $400 ("yeah right")! and the line of work she is in is earning her money ("I cannot really state what type of work she is involved with")! ("but she made about $400 within one day, but she is not doing the right thing with her money!'
Her: she has been promising the real estate that she is going to pay so much each week to cover the arrears ("But she has been telling them this for a couple of months now apparently, but has not has made so much of attempt to do so, all she has paid is a measly $150!")!
She does not seem like she is all there/ she seem's like she was dropped on her head at birth, Like 32yo female should know the ethnics, maturity and resposnibilityy,
She seems like she is not all there and thinks money is going to fall from the sky and all that type of bullshit, if that happened I would not be living the lifestyle I Live!:
But anyway please help me as I'am just about ready to throw her through a wall or snap her neck or something as she is lyining,deceiving *****,(usually I'm not like this, but when people piss me off, than that is a different story")!
