Tim - any good with laptop fetlting?
Been meaning to get it cleared up for ages.....
C | What needs doing? |
Titchy Sony Vaio, has all plug in devices - inc A/D & E drive printer etc, as well as psion gold card - so cannot download anything onto disc from internet (as e drive uses same port). I can fit it into handbag tho!
Basically very slow to start up. Takes about 7 mins before I can log in my password, then another 4 - 5 mins before screen is loaded.
It has 2 x 'found new device' wizard pop-ups which I just cancel, before I can start using it.
I'm not the administrator for it, tho do have to log my user password to enter.... I dont have admin password either.
Needs everything being wiped (I think) then re-loading..
Ideas? - might be a job for a yukky day?
Let me know if up your street
We do have the dinosaur puter upstairs, which we find quick to use - I only use the laptop now when wanting to be sociable downstairs.

try installing bootvis, got it on my vaio and used it to identify where exactly it was slow. Turns out it was waiting for peripherals that were no longer there and hadn't been uninstalled correctly.
