Nothing would make me feel any better than if it worked properly again...... cos if I kicked or threw it I won't even be able to do anything on here!! So some communication is better than none!

i blame the user... the laptop was fine till you started using it :O

A lot of times, it's down to installing and removing software and various updates to the software you have installed. They never delete the old DLL files, inf files and loads more so they tend to clutter the system and really slow it down. Especially since Windows keeps insisting on loading DLL's into memory for no real reason.

The only real cure is a total, clean re-install of Windows, formatting the hard disk in the process.

yeh done some of that stuff delete temp files frag the thing but today it come on a bit faster thing it knows it's going to get the basil fawlty to it when he gives the car a dam good thrashing with that tree branch....im going to put an empty plant pot next to it so it can see whats coming.... ha! ha!
