Try updating the audio driver, by first uninstalling the old driver, restart computer then install new one.

Go here for audio driver:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false

Note: You really need to have 512MB ram memory instead of 256MB ram memory today with the new updates, drivers, and programs.

Hey Riskyone,
Thanks a lot man.
Its a good thing you mentioned the RAM now. I was about to post another thread concerning it. I actually have a 512MB RAM but my system info keeps showing me a variety of different values from time to time. I recently replaced one of the 256MB with a 512MB and yet, every now and then when i check my system status, I have something different.
I also notice that my processor speed shows me about 200MHz when I should have 1.791GHz (AMD Athlon Mobile).
The system performs fine though.
Any ideas on how to fix these flukes?

Is the version of XP installed a legit version with keycode?

Are you free from malware and spyware?
If the computer is infected then yes it could show lower stats and run slower.

Maxyclass · 10-30-2009, 08:28 PM
