Triple Bypass Laptop Operation

My laptop has undergone a triple bypass operation in my very capable hands.

It has been acting extremely slow that I demoted it to second-class laptop in my house several weeks ago. Imagine, it took me around 15 minutes to print a single page document, even longer than my travel time from Vivo City to my home via bus (including stops)!

The HP PC tablet that came with the unit and was dedicated only to reserving condo facilities, activating the lift when guests arrive, and occasional browsing (for bus arrival time) had served me surprisingly well.

It's amazing when Customer Service Helpdesks actually work as in the case of HP which has seemingly built a capable team. I spent several minutes with the Customer Support officer who patiently took me through the steps in creating recovery disks and using them as appropriate. In the end, I took the easy route and reformated the Windows partitioned drive after a major backup using my external hard drive.

My rejuvenated laptop is now ready for active duty in 2008.
