Choppy sound in all apps, studdering mouse

[hashbrown85]

Hello,

This is new in the last day or so but I cannot seem to fix it on my own.

I can use the internet well but any song playing on a page (i.e. myspace) is extremely choppy to the point where it is obnoxious. Sometimes its not too bad but never good.

Also, winamp is very choppy now, and when winamp is open, my mouse studders when Im moving it around. This is very annoying and seems to be much worse it im running a program with winamp such as surfing the web. Even if I open up the task manager it gets a lot worse.

I thought maybe I have too many music files on my computer so I have deleted about 4gigs of music and unused data/programs to free up more space. I dunno if that would help but I thought it couldnt hurt. I have an 80g hd, but 20 is in a partition i dont know how to access and about 49g of my usable space is now used (was around 53g before i free up some space).

this sux, can anyone help me??

Im on a HP laptop with windows XP sp 2. I recently installed itunes for my new ipod a couple weeks ago, and also use limewire for music downloads. I have it defraging right now but its been a whole day and its only at 30% done....

THANKS to anyone who can help.

The fact that the ending is in caps is a red flag to me.

 

[talldude123]

What are the specs of the computer? How much memory, hard drive space, and processor does the computer have?

Your HiJackThis log looks clean as a bell. You do have alot of apps though. Your computer just doesn't have enough memory to run everything.

When you go into the task manager, how much free memory do you have, and how much is there total?

 

[peterhuang913]

lmao u just gave out ur myspace

 

[talldude123]

lmao u just gave out ur myspace

And you call yourself a techie by being immature?

 

[bmxfreakrider]

the fact that there is 45+ running processes on a laptop is a little off to me. my best advice would be to uninstall any programs you dont use, ctrl+alt+del and end anything you aint using, go to msconfig, startup, take off anything you dont need there, go one tab to the left, click the check box, and disable anything you dont need there, and hit ok, then it should run alot better. also, disabling any symantec software will speedup the laptop lots, because symantec loves to chew your cpu usage.

EDIT:

lmao u just gave out ur myspace

huh? who exactly are you talking to? i didnt see that in there anywhere anyways. Only thing that says myspace in here is:

Laptops do have alot of processes because they have the drivers for the touchpad, DVD-ROM, keyboard, etc, because it's all built-in.

Desktop PC's just use PS2 mice and keyboards, which don't need drivers.

 

[bmxfreakrider]

yea thats tru, but he has symantec, and that can bog the sys down
