So, I'm using an older laptop for my general surfing around type stuff. I bought it from a guy who "builds" computers....sort of Frankenstein style.
It's a Dell Latitude 610. But..it's running Windows 7. The hard drive is tiny....like 40 gb or something. That's no real problem as I also use an external hard drive and again, it's not a primary computer or anything. RAM is 2gb. Processor is Pentium M running at 2 ghz. It's a 32 bit processor.
PROBLEMS: This has been going on since day 1. I can't figure it out. Perhaps you can.
1- Whenever I try to load a page, it (90% of the time) loads only part. I have to either re-load or refresh the page....sometimes 10+ times to get most of the page and images to load.
2- For pages like Facebook or google images.....forget it....I have to refresh 10-20 times....just to get a reasonable amount of info on the page.
3- Cache- I figure it might have something to do with the cache...so I go into options and "clear" it. This seems to help very very slightly....but in no way solves the problem.
4- Cached web content setting- I have it on the max 1024 and "override".
5- I've even gone into the "regedit" screen and changed the settings for level 2 cache.......didn't help one bit.
So, does any of this mean anything to you? I'm no computer expert....and just can't figure why this computer is such a pile. My cell phone loads more data and faster than this thing. ?? ANY tips would be greatly appreciated!!
