Computer Gurus Needed!!!

Chris, try Antivirus & Content Security Software | Securing Your Web World: - Trend Micro USA, free housecall. It always picks up stuff my other programs don't.

Also, try this:

Click on Start, run, then type in "msconfig", hit enter. This will open up another window. Click on the tab that says "startup", this will show you all the programs that are starting with windows, then uncheck anything that you are not familiar with, or that you know you've never installed on your computer, or that you simply don't want to start with windows. Click apply, then reboot when finished. If there is anything that doesn't start up with windows after you restart it, then start from the beginning steps and go back and check the box that has the program listed you may have inadvertently chose not to come on at startup;) Let me know if this helps.
 
Well, tried everything except for redoing the hard drive, nothing helped. Unchecked stuff not meeded in MSCONFIG, defragged, scanned everything. Even did all the scans in Safe Mode to find anything hidden, no viruses, no spyware etc. In Safe Mode the computer was basically as fast as the computer used to be with a normal Windows startup and all the programs loaded (plenty of memory and ram). Today, I swear it was still loaded for over 30 minutes as while I was trying to used AG which was jerky, the loading light was still going, and just now stopped.

Maybe this could help diagnoss better, when I go to Youtube and watch a clip, it is completley jerky playing and choppy audio while the video is still buffering and loading. Before, even if the video wasn't fully loaded (like when the redline moves to the right telling you how much of the clip is ready), it would play smooth like normal.

I don't really want to redo my hard drive as I have so much stuff for business...but if I have to I guess I will, just want to see if there is anything else as I can't figure it out. Before even with all the programs the computer would load right up quickly.
 
Chris, click on my computer, then properties. Click on the hardware tab, then device manager. See if there is anything listed with this symbol next to it

, except it will be yellow. If there is, then you need to download and reinstall the driver for that particular hardware, which you can probably find on the manufacturers website of your laptop. Let me know.

I'll check, I was going to try to update the video and audio software thinking one of them is glitching.
 
Boot it into safe mode (press F8 after seeing the BIOS) and see how long that takes to boot. If it boots right away, you got some funky software loading that needs to be removed.

Thats what I posted above, Safe Mode was quick and no jerky quality, before this issue my normal windows startup and operation was as quick as pretty much safemode with no jerky qualities even with all my programs. I haven't downloaded any new programs, pretty much everything I have like for my business was done last year.

edit - great, seems like I have another issue now. Any website, the first click will not connect and brings to an error page, I have to reload or just hit the link twice. Like on AG, if I post a reply, it says couldn't connect, then I have to go back and do it again and it works...seems like now its doing this anyway like even trying to access my mail account at Yahoo?

This sucks....

Sorry, I guess I should read the posts thoroughly.

It is something thats being loaded when Windows is loading. This is the hard part. Basically, unless someone else knows a faster way, you need to go back into MSCONFIG and find out what's being loaded and slowing it down. Only check what you know is needed at boot. Uncheck everything else. reboot. If you don't know what something is, google it. If its something you definitely know shouldn't be there, find the registry entry and delete it.

I know you tried it already, but its possible something that is checked is bogging down the system. Its possible that you have a trojan horse or some adware that's in there. You need to remove the registry entry to permanently remove it.
