Basically, *you* can't fix it. Take it to a *laptop* repair shop.  It sounds like one or more of the polerization filters may be damaged, but that is not something easily replaced....

Hello,\n    I suggest, uninstalling the programm, and re installing it. If the problem persists check your computer with;\n\n1: Spybot search and destroy\n2: Your Anti Virus Software\n3: Ad Aware 6.0\n4: AVG anti virus\n\nAll of the above are available via free download. If the problem persists after all these checks use the defragment in control pannel may also be under disc cleanup this will solve the problem. may i suggets doing all of the above and your computer will overall run 10x faster!\n\nHope This helps

Check your start up programs.\nSTART > RUN > type MSCONFIG > STARTUP uncheck things you really do not started at Boot up.

try going to start->run\ntype msconfig and <ENTER>\ngo to the startup tab and see if something there looks like it might be the culprit.  If you have some time you can disable everything and reboot to see if the problem goes away. if so, start re-enabling things until you figure out what is causing it. Then re-enable everything but that.

If your machine ran faster a while ago (like just after your got it), it's importatn to look back on your use of it. If it began to slow down after you added that program (<whatever> it was), or after you changed a graphics card or some such, ... that may give a clue. You don't suggest such a thing, but it's worth trying to think about. \n\nIn general, if your machine is a Windows machine, it is particularly subject to infestation by malware. These are viruses, Trojans, spyware, and so on, which have been silently installed on your machine. Use a good antivirus program (recently updated) to detect and remove them from the entire machine. And use at least two spyware programs (also recently updated) to identify and remove spyware programs. (Two, because not all spyware programs, even the good ones, catch them all.) Examples of well respected programs for Windows (all available in limited freely downloadable versions, include: AVG antivirus, Avast antivirus, Spy Bot, Spy Catcher, AdAware, ...). But you say you've done that. \n\nAll of this, even if successful, may leave the Windows Registry in a messy and clogged state. There are some 'Registry cleaners' available, but if this is the cause, you may be better off by making a backup copy of all your data files, then reformatting the hard disk, and finally reinstalling Windows. This will result in a clean Registry. Using a Registry cleaner is not likely to do as well, though it may be enough.\n\nIn all, remember that, for Windows systems, the rule of thumb is reboot, reinstall, then reformat.  \n\n=========\napplication slow down\n\nIf one particular aspect of your machine (eg, Internet use, heavily computational tasks, heavily disk loaded tasks, ...) is the slowdown winner, this may give a clue. sow applications suing a specific hardware driver may indicate a defective or damaged drive. Removal and reinstallation may clear the problem. Indeed, a cold restart may be enough, since it will clear memory and then rebuild the system (including the drivers) from copies on the hard disk. slow doewn after a system which has had more and more simultaneous processes added to it (virus scanning, spyware scanning, firewall operation, ...) may be due to insufficient system RAM (add more), or too small virtual memory assignment (under Windows), or to conflict between DLL packages. Some applications include DLLs which replace existing ones, with bad effects on existing applications. Reinstallation of the existing applicationa will replace the  then existing, possibly making the new application exhibit problems.   \n\nFinally, it may be that your hard disk has become too fragmented for reasonable response and is spending much of its time thrashing instead of actually reading / writing to the disk. Defragmenting the hard disk may help. Recent bundled Windows defragmenting programs work adequately, but some of the commercial programs are quicker and more flexible.\n\n===========\nrecords\n\nKeep good notes about what you do. Something like, suspect overly fragmented hard disk. Applicaiton foo takes 4 minutes to complete. Defragmented hard disk on 0x/0y/0z at a:bc. Application foo takes 2 minutes. Good improvement, but not enough since application bar still is very very slow. \n\nThe purpose of this is to be able to pass on to someone else if necessary, what you've tried and what results there were, if any. And to keep straight in your own mind what you've done. Experience speaks when I say that it will help, even when you can't see now quite how.

You might have too many programs starting at start up. Keep the programs you use and the rest leave them alone. They can be started at any time when you wanna use them.\n\nTo configure, run msconfig command. \nStart > Run... Type msconfig > Enter

I am also expieriencing this problem. I have ran spybot s&d and lavasoft Ad Aware se personal. And are still having this problem. I am working to try to get it undercontrol. I have even removed the bar and it still occurs.

I would say that you must have have a ton of applications running at the same time. One way to tell is when you start up the computer, do you have many (>4) icons on the bottom right bar? If you don't it could mean that you have viruses/trojans/spyware on your computer. There are a few fixes for this:\n\n- You can get a virus/spyware checker to help clean out some of this stuff but they can miss things.\n- Try to close programs running in the background.\n- The best way, however, would be best to backup your files (pictures/documents etc) and reformat the computer. This will make it as clean as possible.

Run free virus and data miner scans and clean up the start menu as instructed below..\n\nClick: Start, Run, Type in mcconfig and then from the screen un check all you do not need at start up.

Go to your mouse or pointer options>wheel>then tell it to only scrool 1 line at a time. If this doesn't work then you probubly need a new mouse.

Are you only playing with your top line? It'll mimic your choice in line changing.\nIf you're auto or manual line changing it'll use all 4 lines. if you're doing that and it's still screwing up, well.....uninstall and do a clean install. After of course, saving your data.

Its saying you have too many programs opened but not enough memory.\n\nYou need to close unnecessary programs or windows that you do not need. Also check your task bar under Processes to see what programs are running and check to see if there are any viruses or spywares running in your background. You might want to do a virus and spyware check on your system.\n\nOr you can install more memory RAM into your computer if you tend to open a lot of programs at once.\n\n\n\nProblems with Virtual Memory\nIt may sometimes happen that the system give ‘out of memory’ messages on trying to load a program, or give a message about Virtual memory space being low. Possible causes of this are:\n\nThe setting for Maximum Size of the page file is too low, or there is not enough disk space free to expand it to that size.\n\n\nThe page file has become corrupt, possibly at a bad shutdown. In the Virtual Memory settings, set to “No page file,” then exit System Properties, shut down the machine, and reboot. Delete PAGEFILE.SYS (on each drive, if more than just C:), set the page file up again and reboot to bring it into use.\n\n\nThe page file has been put on a different drive without leaving a minimal amount on C:.\n\n\nThere is trouble with third party software. In particular, if the message happens at shutdown, suspect a problem with Symantec’s Norton Live update, for which there is a fix posted here. It is also reported that spurious messages can arise if NAV 2004 is installed. If the problem happens at boot and the machine has an Intel chipset, the message may be caused by an early version (before version 2.1) of Intel’s “Application Accelerator.” Uninstall this and then get an up-to-date version from Intel’s site.\n\n\nAnother problem involving Norton Antivirus was recently discovered by MS-MVP Ron Martell. However, it only applies to computers where the pagefile has been manually resized to larger than the default setting of 1.5 times RAM — a practice we discourage. On such machines, NAV 2004 and Norton Antivirus Corporate 9.0 can cause your computer to revert to the default settings on the next reboot, rather than retain your manually configured settings. (Though this is probably an improvement on memory management, it can be maddening if you don’t know why it is happening.) Symantec has published separate repair instructions for computers with NAV 2004 and NAV Corporate 9.0 installed. [Added by JAE 2/21/06.]\n\n\nPossibly there is trouble with the drivers for IDE hard disks; in Device Manager, remove the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers (main controller) and reboot for Plug and Play to start over.\n\n\nWith an NTFS file system, the permissions for the page file’s drive’s root directory must give “Full Control” to SYSTEM. If not, there is likely to be a message at boot that the system is “unable to create a page file.”

you can use reg cleaner or just disable it in msconfig\nyou can run msconfig on run... just type msconfig

First use the antivirus and antispyware software you have to run a full system scan. Do it in the windows safe mode. (AVG and avast antivirus softwares are free while a 6 month free trial for Norton is available at pack.google.com. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware is the best antispyware to my knowledge. Also Windows Defender from Microsoft is good enough for real-time protection). This should identify the problem and most probably would solve it as well. However, if the antivirus software is unable to delete the malware, go to Norton's website and search for the name of the malware detected. Their must be some instructions posted to tackle the problem. You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates on subsequent boot up of the machine. Good Luck.\n\nPS. If you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum. I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.

Also you may try and do this:\n\nStart > Run \nType in MSCONFIG\nGo to Startup, and uncheck the programs on start up (I find that helps)\n\nAlso in the right corner on the tasbar I Disable/Exit a few of those programs - running in the background

download 2 pieces of software.  Ad-aware and Spybot Search and Destroy.  Run them both, if both come up clean run a defragmentation of your drive by right clicking on the drive in my computer going to properties and then tools defragment.  Hopefully that should fix it.  If you aren't running any antivirus software try grisoft AVG Antivirus.
