I sent my laptop in for repairs last week and I just got it back today... but I noticed now that when I start up my laptop, it hangs on the Windows loading page for a few minutes before it get to the log on screen. It didn't do that before. What could be the problem?

What did you send it in for? If something was replaced in it that required a driver, and the replacement has possibly a different driver, then your system may be waiting for a timeout response from the older driver.

I hope I didn't sound confusing, but basically, I would state that your system is trying to execute a command and the wait that you are seeing is due to the system timing out and then giving up.

One thing I had this problem with was my wireless. I don't remember which system it was, but the wireless drivers to execute my connection was being done after Windows was trying to restore my network drives. So basically - the system tried to access the drives, timed out and then loaded then executed the wireless routine. This created a hellacious wait that only happened with wireless - the LAN went faster (thus how I determined the problem). A quick reload fixed that problem.

Try to backtrack what was done and maybe you can identify the issue.

Hope this helps!

You may also be in need of a repair installation with your original Windows XP cd-rom unless you want to completely reinstall an OS and all your apps along with it should it come to that point. Just remember that when you do a fresh windows install or reinstall always install the mainboard and chipset drivers first before any other drivers. Then reboot then continue to install other drivers for other system or peripheral devices. Good luck.

It went in for repairs 'cause the digital clock and audio dj weren't working. I emailed them to find out what the problem was and when I could expect it back and they just sent me a tracking number. Should I PM Pat about it?

Do you feel like reloading first or just find out what was done? My expectations is that a reload will fix the problem. It may have been that they swapped the motherboard for the clock problem (just assumption). If this is the case, it could easily be what the problem was... Windows detected the hardware again and loaded something later - maybe causing the hanging.

It can't hurt to PM Pat, but if you don't mind a reload, I would try that first.

Good luck!

when i sent my machine back in for repairs they emailed me and said that my operateing system for some reason was very sluggish , so they reinstalled the operateing system and everything ran sweet. dirty os installation can sometimes cause the symptoms your experianceing though i seriously doubt that hypersonic would do that .
