I would like to start off by saying that I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in my SONY VAIO. I have a VGN-TZ250N. I have had it for 2 years and quite honestly, I can't stand it. I bought it for 1 reason...travel. It is light-weight and compact which is fabulous for my job--as I travel for a living.
That said, given the ridiculously expensive price tag that came with this dandy little puter, I expect SO SO SO much more (as I should!) I could understand and rationalize these issues and my frustration if I had a cheapie laptop. But I don't. it;s an EXPENSSSSIVE VAIO.
When I am at home, I don't even use my VAIO because of the multitude of issues I have with my VAIO. I actually use a 5 year old dinosaur (Toshiba laptop)that has been dropped a dozen times and there are 3 kids who regularly trash it... and the performance of the old Toshiba FAR exceeds that of the VAIO.
I will NEVER, EVER buy another VAIO. The customer service has SUCKED beyond belief too. I'm not even going to go there. That's entirely different thread.
Some facts about me. I take excellent care of my VAIO. I don't have a bunch of garbage programs, I have anti-virus software (Kasperskys) and I regularly clean up my computer. I have some pictures (jpg) and some music but not excessive amounts (probably your average amount). I am not an IT professional (ya think?) but I am not a complete computer illiterate either.
I have spent ENDLESS hours trying to tweak my computer but here I am...about ready to throw it away and get a new computer that doesn't cause me so much frustration.
So, I need some help!
I saw one thread give these suggestions...Disk Cleanup (Yes, did this and do it regularly); startup programs are cleaned up and narrowed to THREE.
Can someone please tell me where to find the REGISTRY CLEAN UP? AND REGISTRY DEFRAG?.
How do I know where and what my GRAPHICS CARD is?
I ran the system test thing and I got the LOW performace score of TWO. of course, it doesn't offer any suggestions as to how to improve the rating.
Does anyone have any further suggestions? (a hammer perhaps?!)
Please help!
Thanks!
