15 + minute delay before start-up

Hey people,

My Info: I am running Vista Ultimate 32 bit on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200 Tablet machine.

My problem: it is pretty well summed up by the title to my son: restart or turn on my computer, the power light comes on, but wait at least 15 minutes before starting the system. Once it starts booting, everything works smoothly.

It all started when I used the blue ThinkVantage button on my ThinkPad (Lenovo users will know what I mean, it's basically Lenovo system maintenance tool) to download updates for my machine, including some BIOS stuff.  I'm suspicious that this has to do with my BIOS, but I wanted to hear what you guys have to say before I start shooting around my BIOS.

I could really use some help here, I'm more frustrated.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, and I apologize if this isn't the right place to put this.  I tried Lenovo support forums and got no help, and I really don't want to spend the money it will take to Geek Squad or similar to fix.

Thank you

Chris

Finally, I solved the problem.

As it turns out, what I thought was a problem unrelated to finish up being the root for this cause.

After booting, I get the warning: "there was a problem connecting to the module of TPM (safety device) on this computer.  It is possible that the software anti-virus or firewall is blocking the connection.  A missing or disabled device driver can also cause this problem.  Please refer to the online documentation for more information. »

It turned out that when I've updated my BIOS, one of the security programs that initialize during startup until was not updated correctly.

Fix: go to the Lenovo Web site and update the Client Security Solution.  This one worked for me: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-69959.

  • really long delay before rendering starts?

    I have this ongoing problem (CC2014) where there is a long delay before rendering starts. Nothing fancy or heavy, no effect, MacPro/Yosemite/64 GB of ram, made to the internal SSD flash drive. Sometimes I see a 2, 3, 4, 5 minute delay before construction starts, then my comps short and simple, restore in seconds. Just AE text, shape layers and files placed. No business network, no other applications running.

    Any ideas?

    If you use multiprocessing, turn it off & see what happens.  If the time-out period goes away, you may need to reassign your processors & memory for multiprocessing in the AE preferences.

    And it never hurts to purge the memory & cache before a final.

  • Portege R600-12Z long delay of start & does not recognize DVD dirve

    I have been using my Portege R600 running windows XP for about 14 months now and recently FOUND that he began to take 1 to 2 minute wait before starting the sequence start or resumption after hibernation. Now, I have discovered that the DVD drive (5100 DVD - RW supermulti drive) does not work: in the Device Manager it shows as unable to start; If I try to boot from the drive of CD/DVD (F8 at first upward, or the definition of the boot priority) it does not take into account the CD and eventually get to the start of the HARD drive in any case. At the same time, the reader is actually superimposed a disc (it will open and close and will try to read any disc inserted). I've updated the bios (3.20) and all the drivers concerned I can find (although none seems to be specific for this drive). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I should also mention that this replaced R600 actually an another R600 (one of the earlier and more fragile versions) on which I had exactly the same problem after about 10 months. I just unluckly, or is this a weakness of the R600 line?

    PMR thanks for your comments.

  • Acer aspire 5732z wait almost exactly a minute at the start

    I have an acer aspire laptop 5732z (now Windows 10) as I'd first of all several years ago was a delay of 1 minute at the start (but usually not re - starts).

    If I turn it on closing down the blue disk activity light flashes - and then he lowers very short time and there is an interval of 1 minute - after which it starts and I get the normal windows startup sequence.

    I thought that maybe it could be a bios setting that was causing this - but I'm reluctant to change anything without evidence - which I don't seem to be able to find through internet searches!

    Any ideas?

  • Video Flash on a web page takes a long time to load before starting playback

    I just create a standard file to flash to play a video on my web page and it takes several minutes to load before starting playback.

    I use progressive downlaod and the file is in MOV format and is 84MB in size. Initially, that seemed big to me for web playback, but I thought he could handle because I thought how progressive download is that she start playing the first image immediately and play gradually other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading all folder first (or a significant part of it) before you start any reading at all.

    Y at - it some sort of setting I am missing or is my incorrect understanding of the download and the file size is too large?

    Vital signs:

    -J' using Flash Pro CS5

    -To create my flash file, I used the video wizard block import and selected a file that is "on my computer" and 'load external video with playback component' and then I chose one of the standard skins.

    -To deploy the vidoe on my site, I have three files:

    (1) swf file containing the FLV component

    (2) the swf file, for skin

    (3) the actual video (84 MB, mov file)

    -Web page includes / includes reference to the swf file

    As the video is a QuickTime .mov file, the problem is probably that the MOOV atom is at the end of the file. It is an index file that contains a measure of the size of the file is. Given that this index file is at the end, the entire file must download before the player can say what the file size is compared to how much is already downloaded.

    Use a program like Index Swapper to move the index file at the beginning of the video file:

  • a long delay before video begins to play, remote only

    Hello

    My problem is that there is a long delay before that we can see the beginning of the video when connect us to the server from a long distance.

    When I connect from the same subnet, it's ok: less than 1 second.

    When I connect to a nearby location (2 km from here) the delay is 15 seconds

    When people connect to places very far away, it can be 2 minutes or sometimes the video does not play.

    y at - it a parameter to change this?

    Thanks for help.

    This Protocol is being negotiated in different places? RTMP, rtmpt, rtmpe, rtmps?

    I guess you have a proxy server or a firewall in place which prevents the default rtmp connection (using port 1935) put in place and the logical kicking of retry in and subsequently another protocol or port is finally working.

  • How can I get the read head to return to the location, it's immediately before starting playback. This used to be a preference but I don't find it in the latest version of logic.

    How can I get the read head to return to the location, it's immediately before starting playback. This used to be a preference but I don't find it in the latest version of logic. What I want to do is; Once playback is stopped the playhead returns to the previous starting position. Where is the setting for this?

  • Key 3 C often does not work for several minutes after the start, the other keys work fine.

    I got am HP Pavilion 17-e049wm Notebook PC product #E0J75UAR for about 4 weeks now.  I bought it refurbished.  A week ago I started having this problem.  3, e, d and c keys do not work when I first start the computer all of the other keys work.  Nothing happens when they are pressed.   Sometimes I will restart the computer and they work again, other times they won't, but often will start working if I left the computer set for about five minutes after the start.

    The computer is spotlessly clean.  I've only used a dozen times or more.  Nothing has been spilled on the keyboard.

    Sounds like software for me, but what?

    I am running Windows 8.1 and no programs are running at startup, with the exception of a program start button, but the problem began weeks after installing that.

    Any ideas?

    FWIW, I called hp. They believed excluded material and had me do a full system restore. Problem persists... The things you own end up owning you they say... I guess it's doubly true if you own a hp laptop. Full day turned... One day closer to death. Thanks Obama.

  • Error when you try to publish movies with Windows Movie Maker: another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computer. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again.

    Movie Maker will not film because of "another user is running Movie Maker on this computor... publish »

    I'm trying to publish a movie on this computor in Windows Movie Maker. The files are .wmv with a band his .wav and are all stored on my computor. I performed this task with success several times and there is enough free space on the computor.

    When I click on publish, there are a few seconds where he tries to publish, but then the program goes into a gel and the dialog box appears with the following: "another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computor. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again".

    When I click Close, there is an icon of wmv on my desk with the title of my project, but it is empty. I am the only user on this computor and I am puzzled as to why this should be implemented. I tried to turn the filters but nothing helped. One thing that I tried was to publish the band sound and the titles and credits without video files and I found it worked.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you Volenteer J. How would you like to know if a .wmv file is corrupt? Is there something I can do to click the .wmv files that tell me if they are corrupt? I need to identify the files that are causing my problem.

    ==================================================
    Sorry... but it seems that I have more questions than answers.

    You said initially that you could publish the soundtrack and titles with success...
    I was wondering if you tried to add a .wmv file to see if you could publish?

    What was the source of the. WMV files? They are all from the same source?

    They were converted from another format? If_Yes_ maybe another
    Converter would be worth a try.

    You change them widely? (split, rotation, transitions...)

    There is a possibility that you could import the Windows Media .wmv files
    Encoder and convert them to... .WMV to .wmv. Seems pointless, I know...
    but it would create a new .version of the. WMV files and can fix that
    perhaps never the problem.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)
