• Some file browsers respond slowly while processing graphics or waiting for broken network connections to time out. • If the notebook’s hard disk drive runs frequently (as indicated by the hard drive light on the front of the notebook) while the notebook appears to be paused or running slowly, Windows is likely spending excess time writing to its swap file on the notebook’s hard disk. -

If the Time Remaining for the battery seems incorrect • The Time Remaining is an estimate based on the rate at which the notebook is using power at that instant. So, if you check the Time Remaining while the notebook is using a good deal of power (such as when reading from a CD or DVD), the value will likely show less time remaining than you really have, since you will probably later switch to tasks that require less power. -
