Thread: compaq laptop stutters

is it happening when reading from a cd or doing that on hdd all the time

Task manager shows nothing eating up cpu or memory. It doesn't just do it from the cd. It does it from the hdd as well. Any time there's audio or video playback, there's a lot of stuttering. Are there any good pc utilities to see if her proc is running hot? i browsed around for a little while and couldn't find any. this is the third problem she's had with it in a little over a year. I wouldn't recommend these compaqs.

try disabling the video acceleration from the media player may help or thre may be trojan on the pc check for it

Thanks guys. I'll try the above and post my results.
