So I should stop task manager by using task manager? Well, anyways,, I did a full restore, even worse now. It won't even boot up, it gets to a screen saying something about a password and restarts over and over, and does this all very slowly. I'm sure it's the hard drive. Perry showed me a thing about HP replacing hard drives, though mine isn't covered,, I'm sure it's got the exact same problem though, but it's just one of those things where my model number got passed over. Needless to say, I'm pretty unimpressed with HP's products and service.
