Dell :: Loading 'Computer', What...?
Feb 26, 2010
Maybe this is more a Win 7 issue, but anyways...
When I click 'Computer' in Win Explorer, Win Explorer starts to "load 'Computer'", as indicated by the tool tip on the cancel button (it says "Stop loading 'Computer'").
But why does this happen? What is there to "load"? If I click a drive letter the top contents of the drive are shown instantly, but not when I click 'Computer'. Also,
while loading the gray bar moves along the top of the window, but the HD lights do not flash any more than in ordinary use when not writing to the HDs. Furthermore, this "loading 'Computer'" gets slower the longer the progress...

Do Vaio Z Series laptop owners use their laptop as their main primary computer or a secondary computer? Do Vaio Z series owners also have a desktop pc as their primary computer and use their Vaio Z Series as a secondary computer? Or is your Vaio Z Series laptop your one and only computer that you always use? Is it comfortable using the 13 inch screen for long periods of time?
Reason i ask is some people have more then one computer and some people just have one.
I'm just wondering if the Vaio Z Series laptop is a good choice as a main computer since it's got good specs and it's nicely portable but will the 13 inch screen be ok to use for long periods even at the higher 1600 x 900 resolution?

As per my title my XPS will not load windows at all and i cannot figure out how to sort it, now i have tried the methods as featured on this thread [URL] .... crucially though the F12 key is dead so since i'm unable to get to the boot options . So how i can restore windows to it and just as importantly back up my files i have stored on my computer??
I don't know if this makes a difference at all but i do have a copy of windows on my external hard drive and i have a back up of my settings on a USB.

Just wondering if everyone else's slot loading drive vibrates the entire machine when in use as well? It's much more noticeable than my old laptop and Im worried the vibrations might damage the hard drive over the long term.

I've been expecting a problem recently; when I turn off/restart my Inspiron 7720 and I press F2 to load the BIOS, I notice the bar fills but it continues and loads windows normally. I tried updating the BIOS from A10 to the newest A12. If i press F12 for boot options it works fine, it's only when I press F2 for the BIOS.

Dell XPS 12 Laptop.
Symptoms: Unable to load windows 8, unable to load windows repair, Unable to load windows 8 installer DVD, unable to boot into Linux, Unable to load Linux live CDs or USB sticks, unable to even use an MSdos boot USB.
Problem just appeared one day, one month out of my 1 year warranty so I began troubleshooting myself. After replacing the SSD, Motherboard, and unplugging every single cable, even disassembling the display and disconnecting the Windows button, Webcam, and touchscreen cables. Still I Could not get any OS to boot. On a whim I powered on the laptop them promptly disconnected the daughter board and sure enough my OS booted right away. Upon further inspection I learned that the Auto-rotate or rotate lock button had become stuck/damaged due to a fall or hard bump. I ripped off the button and ordered a new daughter board online and all is well now.

before XP's bootscreen, i got this error:
Broadcom PXE ROM and it also said "Operating System not found"
ok i didnt panic. i tried to pop in the XP cd to reinstall windows. but to my surprise, the CD drive wasnt working! so i removed the CD drive and now i dont get any error except that i should restart the laptop.
so my question is: how do i reinstall XP without a CD drive?
i already have a 1GB USB drive lying around. i also have a IDE connector for my laptop HDD to connect to a working desktop with XP.

My little brother has a laptop that has stopped loading the OS, and now It keeps restarting.
It is a HP Pavillion dv6000
Most likely a virus has crippled the MBR (Master Boot Record) That's what the original thought was.
Here is what I have already tried:
-- Tried running HP recovery (nothing)
-- Tried resetting to factory defaults.
-- Tried loading and XP disc in to use the recovery program on that. (Laptop came with Vista I do not have a disc) ((After this is when it started to continuously restart))
I used to be able to enter the BIOS. Now I can not.
I am utterly lost right now.
I even took it into my A+ certification class, that is where we tried the above.

Can I copy windows 7 OS recovery disc onto a flash drive to transfer to my hp mini 210 1032cl? I don't own a usb DVD and really don't want to spend on something that I am only going to use once.

So when I'm at home using my powerbook i use a wifi connection at 1.5 mbps and my internet usage is awesome.
But when I go to school and connect into my 3 mbps ethernet connection it is slow as hell. I have a PC and when it ran on the ethernet connection it was fast, and i've speed tested this baby and it it shows the internet at 3 mbps. Im not quite sure what is causing the slow down.

Product Name: G62 b90-ev
Operating System: Windows 7
I get black screen after Windows loading, meanwhile everything else works (lights fans hard drive and sound). I tried several things i read on troubleshoot thread, memory diagnosis, hard drive diagnosis, remove and change place the rams, unplug ac and battery and keep the power button for 30secs pressed the plug ac without the battery but nothing. I also tried to use a monitor by hdmi cable but i get a blues creen when i try with the monitor. Also this is happening during a format so i cant even get through safe mode.

it's been like a year when i bought my aspire 5920g and everything run fine.
It's been about one month that sometimes the computer hangs up at welcome screen or loading the taskbar( the icons are loaded but you cant press them) and the mouse pointer keeps spinning(like it's busy) and nothing happens and I cannot press anything. So i have to restart the pc manually and run a check disk, and every time the problem is solved (this is annoying). But these days the chkdsk command cannot resolve the problem.
Today after welcome screen it hangs on black background and only the cursor can move. I restarted several time and it keeps freezing. So basically i cant start windows.

When I boot up my Y50, The lenovo logo comes up and the windows 8.1 loading logo below it lags. It starts slow and then goes back to normal. The problem is, My other laptop which is also windows 8.1 it boots up 2x as fast even though my y50 has better computer specs. Both laptops have fast boot enabled.
Edit: My other windows 8.1 laptop boots in 14 seconds while my Y50 boots in 35seconds. There is noticable lag when it boots up.
Edit 2: A Video URL...
Edit 3: ALL good now!

I have a DV7-6179us and never had any problems until about a month or so ago when it became super sluggish (it's almost impossible to even type). So yesterday I formatted and did a clean install of Windows 7-64bit. I've been trying to download drivers from the HP support site but the page won't display them. It just keeps loading indefinitely.
I was able to get most drivers from a third-party website (that has the link to HP ftp) but my computer is still super sluggish. I don't know if I'm missing a driver or something is corrupted. I wanted to get the drivers from the HP support site to make sure...

I'm trying to diagnose this model for a friend: Aspire 3100-1556
The screen is too dark to use. The brightness feature via the function key doesn't help. It does make an instantaneous brightness when pressing it, but it stays dark, doesn't hold more than a split second.
Windows XP IS loading; that much can be seen when looking hard enough. So this isn't an operating system issue. It's there, just can't see it well enough to use.
I have been told elsewhere that it could be the inverter, but as I am new to repairing laptops, I really need more info before asking my friend to spend money on one.
