| | unreliable startup and windows is not responding.... I start up my pc, like i've always done, and like everyone else does... But like 19/20 times, it just get stuck on the "welcome" text when loading my files and stuff... But the 1/20 times i DO get in. If i click on a shortcut on my desktop or click the startmenu or anything else. it just comes up: "Windows is not responding" "Close the proces?" "Wait?" If i choose "Close proces?", well...everything disappeares, and if i choose "wait?" well, nothing happends. And just 2 weeks ago i restarted my pc, i reinstalled Windows from the "secure copy" that lies on the pc. -- why can''t pcs just work? |

When you say "reinstalled from a secure copy" do you mean from a Recovery Partition that the manufacturer placed on your HD with an OEM copy of VIsta?? and did it format the HD before installing the "secure copy" ?? peter -- DISCLAIMER: If you find a posting or message from me offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive, please ignore it.
