    Hey, I have a DV2000z and my brother also does. Can someone please help me out... With this computer I try to run a program called MLB Mosaic, it is through MLB.tv to watch baseball games live. And MLB mosaic won't work on my computer but it works perfectly on my brothers. We have the exact same computer. When I try to play it, it goes in slow motion. I have no idea where to even begin to try and fix it. Can someone please help if you have any idea what might be going on.

    I am pretty sure it isn't a bandwidth issue because we have tried playing them on the same internet connection. His works, mine doesn't. If it is a problem with the video card what do I do? I talked to HP tech support and they had me reinstall the go force card and that didn't do anything but make me mad and change all my settings around. I don't really want to try to have them help again.

    Exact same? Including same amount of RAM? And roughly the same amount of free RAM before starting up MLB Mosaic? While you're checking that see if Task Manager shows any processes chewing up CPU time.

    Yeah we have the same amount of ram. I looked in task manager and I have about 50 processes going... Is that normal? I don;t know how to tell how much ram is being used. Most of them are between 15,000 and 40,000 k and I have a some that are in to 80,000 to 110,000 range.

    Look on Task Manager's Performance tab. That will show you the CPU and memory usage. Yes, ~50 processes is normal. How much RAM do you have?

    Hmm... I'm stumped. All I can think of is something lame like uninstalling and reinstalling MLB Mosaic.
