I have a Toshiba Satellite A215 laptop running on Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit(OS came with com), 1.00 GB ram, and the computer is about two years old. I am experienced with computers but I admit that I'm still not that saavy with Vista. For a while now, I've been having trouble with it freezing on the log-in screen but after a hard reboot, it would work. I know it's harsh on the computer but I didn't have any other choice. Just recently, it began to hang on the welcome screen and it boots incredibly slow. By the time it gets to the log-in screen it completely freezes.
Fortunately, It works in safe-mode (am using it now actually) so that helps narrow it down to the problem. I've tried running the startup repairs, system restore and even tweaked with some of the boot settings (in "msconfig"= of course with the advice of others)
The last thing it did when it ran normal was download an update from the microsoft site. I havn't installed any new programs recently and I actually cleaned out many of them that I don't use to save space. (ones that are not essential to the computer) I just really hope it isn't a virus.
