Is there a place/person in Calgary where I could take my laptop to that could help me with my laptop? I have an HP DV2-1024ca laptop from 2008, I upgraded it to 4 gigs of ram, but it still has a (measly) 1.6ghz AMD processor running win 7 64bit. Basically i would like it to be able to play 720p.mkv files effortlessly (if possible). right now it sometimes lags, or the audio cuts out/the audio goes out of sync. I'm using MPC-HC with the k-lite megapack, as that's given be the best results, but it's still not great. I've tried reading online/tinkering with it myself, but I just make it worse as I'm only borderline technologically literate. Any ideas/suggestions on where to go/who to talk to?
