Laptop : new Vaio VPCEL PCG-71c11M - problems

[tina_50]

I have a new Vaio (one week old today)!  But, it is very slow considering it has 4 GB Mem and 550 GB hard drive.  I have not loaded anything other than Microsoft Office  2003 on it.  Internet Explorer 9 was VERY slow so I reloaded it and although somewhat faster, it sticks and then keeps crashing, the same happens in Word, it stops responding.   When searching in google, same problem, it slows right down when typing in the search box!!!   Also the speakers are not very loud!!   One other thing, how do I stop the cursor from scrolling so freely?   Can someone PLEASE help me!  Thanks.

I bought the same laptop around the same time as you and I'm finding the same thing. The laptop that this replaced was quicker

Did you ever find out what is causing it?
