Laptop for PP2000

[FarmerPug]

it was definatley a different layout when i did the fault code reading on a saxo.
The time i had the airbag fault i took it to an auto electrician with a really expensive setup but he could only read fault codes vaguley, the pp2000 gives much more detail.

you have to use it on a windows xp laptop so the functions are limitless, they will have lcd, sky may be available. and that channel should be available, many like it i believe.

I got hold of the old dell, havent used it in a while and it feels like an old laptop, im used now to the fast reactions of the mac book where you click on something and then it does something, the dell you click on something, wait, click again, click more, click repetitively very fast, and then it decides to open.
The dell was always a slow laptop especially the startup is there anything that can be done to speed it up a bit? Here is the system information:

i'm not 100% sure what processor i'm looking at there but i think the biggest downside is that 4 letter word beginning with D...

if you're only using it for pp then you don't need a virus guard or anything going. in fact take everything out of start up, down to stuff it actually needs to run like the video driver. then defrag it.

i still use it now and then for the internet (its acutually got wifi in it) which today was able to show me where the OBDII plug on a 307 is situated, but it has AVG on it to keep out the viruses.
The 4 letter word dell , after this one i actually consider dell to be a good make.

But how do you take everything out of startup, the processor when there was a sticker on the front said intel centrino duo.

CCleaner would be easiest (tools-startup), if you don't know what it is Google it...

I had an antique Dell to sort out a little while ago, I'd have like to have stuck AVG & Spybot on it but it was slow enough already, so I stuck Microsoft's Security Essentials on it & it didn't cripple it noticeably. Ok it's Microsoft so every bored teenager that thinks he's a hacker is probably out there trying to break it but if you're not using it as your main surfing machine then it's probably not worth worrying about.

thanks ive downloaded that cc cleaner, the old dell is slow on startup but once it gets going its fairly acceptable.
