Aloha. I just bought a HP Pavilion dv7-1243d entertainment notebook from costco recently for $649.
It has an AMD TURION-x2 and has 64 bit windows vista installed. I like the nice 17 inch screen. This was kind-of an impulse buy at the time.
I have already installed MTU Microstudio and it works great. clean copies.
BEFORE i screw it up, i've noticed it's especially S-L-O-W on startup and takes awhile to get online. I am ONLY using this lappy for future karaoke and only have it online to download from tricerasoft and a couple other sites. Norton 360 has been installed and is working 100% so it says. I've watched 3 movies on it and the display is great but sometimes it seems to lag during the movies...?
So....what programs can safely be removed, and should be removed, and how do i prevent from accidentally removing drivers and other things i may need... and HOW TO exactly? I'm just trying to get this running as smootly and quickly as possible.
It seems the HP assistant keeps popping up every 2 minutes. I've already removed HP TV and it keeps trying to drive me back to HP's website.
Thank You for any and all help. Layman's terms in order would greatly be appreciated!
Mahalo!
