Actually, maybe this is something you'd know about, Rose...though I hate to bug you!

I have an Inspiron 8100, couple years old. It's a great laptop for the most part, BUT when the fan comes on (which it does normally within fifteen minutes or so if you start anything graphics intensive, like a movie), the whole system slows down, it drops frames, and sometimes the sound goes out of sync. Is there anything I can change JUST while watching movies to fix it?

As it is, I just shut the thing down, wait a few minutes, turn it back on and fast forward to where we left off...but that gets highly irritating when trying to watch a long movie.
