I'm not saying they have a bad reputation, just I know TheDr and he's as honest as they come. Also most computer shops tell you need something, when actually you don't. The moreton mentioned shop have another branch in new ferry, my pc wasn't working to well and it came back worse than ever.
Just don't like people being ripped off!!

I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-402SA, I have just completed a full clean install of Windows7, after the last install, the laptop went really really slow.
But its no different now, it takes for ever to do anything, if am typing a word document, it takes about 10 mins to type 10 words.
I have had it now with windows7.
I tried to install windows xp, but just get blue screen of death, about 2mins in to install.
I have since found out that windows xp can not be installed on this laptop.
Any one know a decent reliable pc shop, that can get xp on this for me.
I have my own xp disc with product key. You will get a blue screen as XP wouldn't know half of the Hardware in there. There are many reasons for the New install causing it to run slowly. At least its constant, that makes resolving it easier. But it could take time. Possible Reasons 1) Heat 2) Hardware 3) Software 4) Malware / virus As you say you took the hard drive out. There could be a dirty connection (sata). You can do a scan disk with windows install disk too. By doing the scan disk you remove problem (2) You never said if it was a Win 7 Install or a Recovery Full Install. It could be a Corrupt Driver. If you let us know about the heat could remove (1) Once up and running you could inspect the resources that are being used. It is a Strange on, so it would need the step by step approach.
