If you have a restore partition, or disks, for your laptop, might not be a bad idea to simply nuke it clean, with a fresh install of the O/S. (that's what the restore partition/disks will do for you.) Sometimes, a nice, clean, install of windows solves a fair few issues. (ask Donnato. ) For a laptop, your machine isn't too bad. (and for the price, it's pretty good. ) Thing is, you can't really upgrade a laptop. Most of that stuff is soldered right to the boards. You can add more RAM, but, with what you already have, it won't help you. One of the things I have found though is: Laptops tend to come with a BUNCH of bloatware running in the background, all of which takes away resources you could be using for more important tasks. Like.... Gaming. Streamlining the system will likely give you better performance, and stability. Still and all, I think one thing I would try first, is to back up all my data to an external drive, then do a factory reset on the machine. (puts the O/S back to fresh-out-of-the-box condition.) Boot it up, go thru the configuration it wants you to, then, go thru msconfig, and services, and turn off the crap you don't want/need. Reinstall your stuff, and see if things aren't any better.

Hiddely ho, Fellow Morrowinders! Be warned: This message is a tad long, but thoroughly explains my plight. I am STILL searching for "Sheol's Female Dremora Armour Mod" and will not stop until I find it. This mod was the first BB armour mod I ever D/L'd and...I. WANT. THIS. MOD. again before I become dust in the wind. I have a very strong sense of nostalgia - and eternal regret for not making a backup in 2005 (this is when the mod was first made public) and before 2009 (when the mod became unavailable due to "oblivionsource.com"'s site upgrade and the mod D/L link dying in the process.) I have been searching ever since my Great HD Crash of 2010 (actually since 2009 when the UESP link died). I have searched "oblivionsource.com" via Teh Wayback exhaustively, I.E. Every. Single. Link. I have found possible clues as to the name of the file. I have searched 4Shared, DepositFiles, RapidShare, DropBox, and even the latest incarnation of Mega. Pretty much every obscure Morrowind site via Teh Wayback has been searched (there are other pages too); I have left few stones unturned up to this point. The only clues I have are the "Texture Replacer Mod" I U/L'd to MMH (with the filename "PLAYABLE_DREMORA_NL_bb_bodysuit_uvr_main_11.tga" since it's a straight texture replacer) and the filename "PDP_cuirass_fem_FIXED.rar" discovered in "oblivionsource.com" via Teh Wayback (but no file available). Since I can read Russian, I have also searched a myriad of Russian FTP's and Morry sites (most notably Tesall.ru, Fullrest.ru, and Tiarum.RU). I have resorted to searching torrents and sleazy public hubs via DC++ and eMule as a last gasp of hope. The taste of failure is indeed bitter.... I have even contacted a couple of Olde Modders of Yore who/are were familiar with Sheol/SATAN's (they are one and the same) work (including a legend of Morry modding - Mr. Dave, who searched his 200+ disc archives for me, to no avail) and success is appearing dim. I even scoured Reddit and found a "Sheol", who was discussing Morrowind, and alas, not the same one. I found Neuman, Father of BB, on Reddit also, but he doesn't have it either. Mr. Dave has also put out the clarion call on Lover's Lab (yuck!) with no success from a number of users and only a user, "Black Dragon," (then BlackDragon32 on PSD Studios) yet to report success or failure... As for Bethsoft Forums, there is this "Mod Detectives" thread for tracking down mods lost to the ether. I have REQ this mod twice in a two year period, and it has been REQ at least four times...with success as elusive as this mod. *cries bittlerly* I am about ready to do just about anything (within reason, and I *AM* offering a reward to the equivalent of $50 USD - couldn't post that on Bethsoft forum) short of prostituting myself and/or selling my 1 year child in some weird Morgiah/Rumpelstiltskin-esque bargain to procure this mod again. Please, Obi Wan Morrowinders, help me relive some of my fondest gaming memories if you can...you all appear to be one of my last hopes... Graciously thanking you for your reading. tie

Well, Nifscope is a bit over my head at this point, though I did download the program. I suppose that will have to be another thing for me to try and figure out. Thanks.
