I would suggest going into the control panel and check your power options.  It might be set for power saver which can lower the perfomance of the PC.  I would set it for a higher performance and see if that helps.

I fall in the "Level 2" area, with an HP Pavillion dv2500. Do you think it's better to upgrade or do a fresh install? I'm thinking upgrade because it would retain the drivers that are in jeopardy of being lost. But maybe I'm missing something, you thoughts?

Thank you, not sure everything will work but giving it a try did find that with older Geforce needed to go to Nvidia

301.42-notebook-win7-winvista-32bit-international-whql;exe. for my Geforce7000M/nForce610M.
