Then uninstall AVG and replace it with Avira AntiVir http://www.filehippo.com/download_antivir/

beat me to it on the AVG remove and replace with Avira !! lol

Kataratarina , AVG 8 is a known slower down on PC's , Avira is much lighter on resources

when you have installed that then go to

www.windowsupdate.com

and chose "express" and download all the updates you find , then reboot if needed. Then go back to the site again and check there are none outstanding . Then go back a 3rd time and this time click on "custom" and look for Hardware updaes and download those

frick- i forgot! i borrowed an xp disk off a friend when i wiped my laptop and i updated there and it says i did not pass a genuine validation of windows!!!

eeeeeeeeeekkkk-am in trouble?

You will need to phone Microsoft and say you formatted your computer they will ask for your xp license number and tell you how to make it valid. Don't install AVG!!!!! Visit here to get the phone number http://support.microsoft.com/gp/assistsupport

Kataratarina

i think her disk was a copy though!

Browntoa

in which case you need to buy a proper copy

if you have a COA sticker on your laptop



then a simple phone call to them will suffice , regardless of the source of the XP CD they will validate your copy

thomas01155

All the disk are the same. Its the license number you need should be on the sticker somewhere on the laptop.

Kataratarina

yes! i have the 1st sticker!!

thank u again!
