HP/Compaq :: Vista Delay Of Some Actions At Startup

Jun 20, 2009

I have a DV4T running Vista Home Premium SP2 32 bit. The problem is that some actions are delayed for 15-30 sec after the machine boots. For example, the network icon in the system tray does not respond, I can't open services or anything else that requires UAC. I can do other non-admin things like run IE or Windows Explorer. About 30 sec or so after boot, all the admin functions start working normally. It seems like something just has a delayed startup.

My machine has always done this. I did it with the factory config, and it still does it after a clean install + latest drivers + all the latest windows updates (and no other software installed).

I tried disabling that service, but it didn't make any difference.

The CPU is not busy during the delay, so it appears that the system is just waiting on some timed event.

HP/Compaq :: Audio Delay (latency) On AMD GQ61

Apr 2, 2010

I have the GQ61-420US with the 320M dual processor, IDT sound chip with latest driver, plus updated video driver (etc.) now running Win7 64, and have a strange audio delay problem, first discovered when attempting multi-tracking music. In fact, if I just have the monitoring enabled on the built-in microphone, and tap on the computer there is about a 1/10 sec. delay when it comes out of the speaker. I downloaded a latency checker program mentioned elsewhere on this board, but it doesn't show much of a problem. I don't believe the CPU is overtaxed here, and believe it might be driver-related. I've checked the IDT control panel, which is rather bare-bones, having no settings for effects such as delay that I might have inadvertantly checked.

Acer :: Aspire 6930 Vista Wont Startup

Mar 21, 2009

At bootup I will get a black screen after the windows loading bar (at the bottom). It will stay a black screen as long as I reboot. I need to press the power button pressed down until it reboots then I do a Regular Windows Start. I've done the safe start so it can look for disk errors too. But I still get this black screen about 60% of every boot times.

What is the problem? Vista? or other?

Sony :: The Vaio Startup Assistant Loads On Startup

Oct 8, 2009

When I first loaded up my Vaio the Startup Assistant booted by itself and I unchecked the box to stop booting on startup. After the while the Startup Assistant started booting up by itself even though the box is still unchecked. I thought by recovering to factory settings and unchecking the box would fix it but it has started booting up again.

how I can get rid of the Vaio software?

HP/Compaq :: HP Dv9000 Startup

Jan 1, 2009

My girlfriend has an HP dv9000 (17" laptop) i dont know the exact specs, only that she is running vista 32bit.

But the problem is that every time she has to either restart, return from hibernate, or return from sleep mode, the computer cant do it.

If its restarting or returning from hibernate, the computer will begin to start up, you'll hear a click, and it will power down and power up again, click, and repeat the process endlessly.

From sleep mode, the computer will turn the screen on and off like you just "woke" it.

HP/Compaq :: Hp Pavilion Dv7-1261wm Startup

Dec 17, 2009

when i try to boot vista, which was on the hard drive i get a BSOD that flashes really quick so that i cannot see what it is. i ran a hard drive diagnostic and it says that the hard drive is bad, so i thought this was the problem. i ordered in a new hdd and i got the same problem. i tried to load windows 7 onto the harddrive thinking that something may have just gone bad with the install of vista. but i get the same BSOD. so i decided to try and go back and load xp onto the laptop and about halfway thru the install i get a BSOD giving me a stop error message. so i tried to swap out the ram with some working stuff but i get the same problem. so its not the hdd and not the ram. the thing that really has me puzzled is that if i try to install linux onto the computer it works just fine, no errors or anything. this is leading me to think that there is no hardware problem.

HP/Compaq :: IDT Audio Error On Startup

Feb 23, 2009

I have a HP dv7t. Works great but on occasion (twice a week or so) I get an error message on startup that IDT Audio has closed due to an error. The error message is the typical Windows Vista error message that you receive when a program unexpectedly closes down. Because of this, I have no audio from my speakers until I restart my computer (headphones do work though). The IDT Audio Settings program that runs in my taskbar is still there, so that didn't close.

I am running the latest driver from HP's website: 6.10.6087.0 A

HP/Compaq :: HP DV5 Excessive Fan Noise On Startup

Jun 26, 2009

For the past few weeks my DV5 has been behaving oddly when booted up from a cold start. The fan switches on producing an incredibly annoying rattle and squeal that almost sounds as if a bearing has gone in it. It's the same noise you occasionally hear from desktop fans that are clogged with dust and gunk.

It usually lasts for only a few seconds on initial bootup and is all over by the time Vista loads.

However, this laptop spends 95% of its time on my desk in my dorm room, residing on an improvised laptop stand for better cooling. I took it into the shop I bought it from now that I'm home and whilst they were happy to look at it, it just wouldn't replicate what I had been describing to them when they were listening to it. Murphy's law I guess. Anyway, they thought the only way to sort it out would be to leave it with them and they would try it daily till it it reared its head. Not knowing how long it would take to get over its stage fright (and needing some information off it) I declined that offer!

Has anyone noticed similar traits or symptoms in their machines? If so, how did you remedy it? I'm really tempted to pull it apart myself but it is only 7 months old so well within the warranty period that I may put in jeopardy.

HP/Compaq :: Dead Screen Only During BIOS And In XP Startup

May 2, 2010

Last year I replaced my inverter as my screen was dead. I thought it was the lamp as I couldn't see the screen with a flashlight, but it was the inverter and worked fine after that.

At the same time I bought an external monitor to use for the larger size and recently I have been using the computer out and about.

So since I replaced the inverter on startup the screen will be dead most of the time. By the time it gets to XP it will turn on if I press FN and F4 several times. Sometimes I close and open the lid as I mumble obscenities, always entertaining while public. At first I thought it was the external monitor software confusing the computer into thinking it was plugged into an external but I change the screen back to notebook when I take my computer on the go.

If I boot into Ubuntu the screen will be dead during BIOS but once it gets to the log in screen on Linux the screen turns on.

Sometimes the screen will be on right from the get go. I have no problems when it is connected to an external monitor.

Dell :: Free Upgrade For Shipping Delay?

Jan 3, 2010

Has anyone had any luck getting dell to upgrade anything because of shipping delay? Or offer discounts?

Specifically, I am thinking about trying to convince them to upgrade my warranty. I ordered a studio 17. the basic warranty is 1 year limited warranty with 1 year return to depot service. This is included in the base price. When I placed my order i upgraded (for $198 CND) to the 2 year limited warranty, with 2 year return to depot service, lojack+ accidental damage service.

I have been given the usual order delayed bullcrap like most of you. But is it possible to use this to get them to upgrade it to the 2 year NBD onsite service, lojack, and accidental? ($80 value over my original 2 year return to depot)

I am going to give it a shot this week when I can manage to find the time to sit on hold for a few hours. I will let you know what comes of it.

Anyone try anything similar? share your results

Dell :: Power Button Delay And BSOD In SXPS 16

Sep 24, 2009

A few days ago I noticed that when I pressed the power button to turn on the computer, there was a delay of about five seconds before the computer reacted..

That was weird, I thought, but nothing unbearable. Today when I started up my computer, not only was there a delay, but when it did start up I got the BSOD.

It was only there for a few seconds so I couldn't read much of what it said.............................................

Lenovo X Series ThinkPad :: X240 Space Bar Key Delay?

Jan 15, 2014

Each time i press space bar key, there is a very small delay before space appears on screen.
 
So i make a lot of typing errors.
 
Computer is X240, BIOS is 2.16, every driver is up to date.
 
Windows is 8 PRO. It does the same with Windows 7 so i think it's a software issue.
 
Lenovo E420 had that before and problem was fixed by a BIOS update.

Acer :: Delay Between Pressing Fn Button And On-screen Symbol Appearing

Jan 6, 2010

I have a problem on my Acer 1810tz - when I press a Function button, such as Fn + F8 = mute/unmute sound, there is a very long delay of up to 3 seconds between pressing the button and seeing the speaker symbol show up on screen.

Acer's Launch Manager program is what displays the on-screen symbols. I have installed the latest version from the Acer website (it is a fresh install of Win7 64bit) found here, version 3.0.02.

When I purchased the laptop the symbols appeared straight away but now, after a fresh install, there is a long delay. All I have installed is chipset/graphics drivers and touchpad drivers.

I have this thing running on Windows 8.1. My problem is, if I hit a key, there's a delay before the touchpad and buttons become functional again. My brother suggested not making the mouse disappear when typing, but that didn't work. Is it possible to change this or is it just how it is?

The problem is that even a short pause in typing, the keyboard backlight goes out. (about  5-6 seconds).  It does not go on until I hit another key, (which then types that character, which I then have to erase).

Is there a way to set the keyboard backlight delay to a longer setting?

Nov 2, 2014

I purchased Aspire E5-571 series laptop from a store in Chemnitz, Germany on 29th of Oct 2014. From the date of purchase, I find that when ever I right click on Desktop, it is taking 15-20 seconds of time to display various options. When I searched on internet, I found that some process which are incorporated by INTEL are the main reasons for this cause. But I am worried that whether my graphics card works properly or not with out these process. The following are process that I disabled.

After disabling these process, my problem was recitified on my own. But I wanted to know whether there is any solution other than this. I tried reinstalling graphics, Touch Pad drivers.

HP/Compaq :: HP Pavillion Dv6040 Startup Fail, 1 Long 2 Short Beeps. Probably Video Card

Oct 11, 2009

I have an HP Pavillion dv6040 laptop, 3 years old. Today, after 3 years of nearly flawless operation, it will not start. It gives 1 long and 2 short beeps, and then nothing. The lights turn on, the fans run, but the screen remains off (black with the backlight off).

I believe it is a video problem (looked up the beeps online). The laptop has an Nvidia GeForce 7200 Graphics card.

Or does anyone know if it's possible to replace the video card in such a laptop?
