Hello, Malke.
To be safe, I operated on my clone, off line. Had to go to Safe Mode
in order to beat the "denied Access" warning. Deleted ATI Control panel,
rebooted with Normal Startup. Video performance unchanged from before.
Deleted three suspects from Startup Menu (Norton Ghost Tray, HPBootOp, nad HPWuSchd2) and tried again. Still the same. What next?
Then it is most probably the hardware. Unfortunately, I believe that video card is a chip on the motherboard. If your computer has an AGP slot, put in an AGP video card after uninstalling the ATI drivers. Usually you don't need to change the settings in the BIOS. Sometimes you do. If there is no AGP slot (and I rather doubt it has PCI-e although you should check on HP's website or look in the manual), then you are stuck putting in a PCI video card. PCI video cards aren't the greatest, but then neither is that video chip. With those specs, you weren't gaming anyway.
If you don't have an extra video card lying around for testing purposes, then take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local version of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad) or live with things the way they are.
