Lab 10,979 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Just a thought Lab, have you tried rebooting your router & your laptop? Turn all your wifi compatible equipment off (phone & laptop, & properly close them down, not put them into standby) then unplug your router and leave it for 30 seconds. Plug it back in, then when the lights on it show that it's ready, turn your other equipment back on one at a time. Worth a try. av tried that mate. My laptop won't close down though by itself... I try to shut it down but it just says logging off and the wee circle just keeps burling!!!!!! Oh I'm back on my phone now too. Aaaaarrrrggggghhhhhhhhh Just out of interest as it might be relevant but how long would you say it takes for your laptop to boot up cheers Callum It normally takes around 2 mins.....defo slower than when i first got it. Malt i will try that cause yestarday when trying to log off it was showing something that needed to end but everytime i tried to go into it i couldn't...ity was like i was needing to get onto the net to do it but i couldn't.... I just switched everything off.....stretched out the cable to make sure there was no loose wires...rebooted and its working away fine now.....no EXCLAMATION mark either (Knob... ).......hope it was just a wee moment it was having to itself... lab tried switching off and on again, turning off the router box, deleting all the cookies, stretching wires, moving router, going into different room, checking fuses, phoning the helpdesk, seeking advice off IT literature members...................then scottish power flicked a switch and miraculously the laptop was fine again You'll be going to the top of the class soon.............................................c**t!! I tried some of that stuff you said Malt and looked up that link and it be as well in f*****g Spanish........... Now heres a thing....see when you boot your laptop up and then you see things like "Update Available" and you say 'piss off the now all get you later' but later never comes......would that effect my laptop....

Shouldn't do. I used to have bootleg versions of windows installed and you had to have updates switched off so that the big boys at Microsoft didn't discover you had a pirate version of their product which would then have resulted in you being locked out of your comp and l never had problems. Im pretty sure though that some Microsoft updates can f3ck your system up as it happened to me on two of my comps this year but this is rare. cheers Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First thing l always do when l purchase a laptop or am given a laptop to repair is to partition the hard disk into separate drives eg C: drive D: drive etc. so that no matter what happens on the operating system drive all the personal files are safely saved on a separate partition so that worst case scenarios of having to format and reinstall windows do not have any impact on a persons personal files. Of course if the hard drive goes up the duff nothing but a specialist job can retrieve your files. cheers Callum 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
