I got an old laptop that was running with windows vista. Sometime when I open words or even watching movies also will be laggy and hang. How come ah? Because this is not performance demands software so even it is old but shall be ok.
What's the possible problem ? |

QUOTE(shea2812 @ Aug 25 2015, 11:36 AM) vista hog the system. It uses a lot of resources. When vista came out, the hardware that was current then was not quite ready for it. If I were you I'd get meself a new laptop. Just make sure that you get original OS bundled with it. Win 8.1 is not so bad. Dont upgrade to win 10 yet. Win 10 will not let you run a lot of grey software that you may want to use and it also hogs the system. Thank you so much for the advises.  |

QUOTE(asifniz @ Aug 25 2015, 02:47 PM) Just upgrade to Windows 7, that would be appropriate for your laptop. How much RAM do you have? Try upgrading that too. Another problem could be your HDD, could be going dead, run HDD diagnostic and see if any problem there. He got no idea how many RAM he have in the PC. I think 2GB only.. lol. Because is a 6 years old Lappy. Gonna check on the HDD. Any program recommend to check HDD? Note: 3GB. Just checked his laptop.

Update: Copying out drama series or any other file will have Error 0x8007045D. I even went to safe mode and try, still the same problem.
Use another port now, but seem like the error persist. |

QUOTE(pandera999 @ Aug 26 2015, 12:33 PM) vista was a problematic OS... then few months later... the birth of win7.. Yeah, i often heard it but never use it myself  Compared to Win 7, it was indeed sucky. QUOTE(pandera999 @ Aug 26 2015, 12:34 PM) that error is I/o error.. either the port problem or the driver achi No idea o. Performed chkdsk and repaired the cluster sectors at HDD, seem to work fine. |

QUOTE(pandera999 @ Aug 27 2015, 07:37 AM) chkdsk and cluster sector is for checking hdd itself.. but not the driver Oh i see. I have checked 2 different ports and returned with same error. Seem like is Driver error. Thank you for telling me. driver error/port error usually gives that error as stated by you. that is memory address for i/o port. |
