problems with lap top

[Matt]

Windows 2000 is going to be bringing you a lot of unpatchable security risks, and won't be much faster either. If you want performance from this older computer, get some RAM, which may be expensive, depending on how available it is, and switch to a user-friendly Linux (not an oxymoron).

Or, for a ridiculously small number these days, you could buy a new laptop! For me, the price is low enough that unless I was doing it for fun and learning, I wouldn't bother with an old laptop.

Happy new year!

More toys! If you have decent eye sight (har har!) you might consider sub notebooks or whatever you might want to call them:
