• Satellite L300D - sometimes it takes forever to start or does not start

  Anyone able to help me?

  Sometimes it takes me an eternity to boot up my laptop and sometimes it does not start at all and I get sent to the start screen repair and which translates a unable to repair press ok to turn off the computer message. Whenever I get to start a laptop program always crashes with some answers takes about an hour.

  I used the recovery disks, I did when I was told to do, first used the labtop about 5 times so far. Whenever I've restored the system it works very well for about 1 hour until that I had to install the Windows updates.

  Anyone able to help me on this problem of mine?

  As already written boarder is not easy to say why this is happening. With own laptop preinstalled, obviously, everything works fine.

  So what you need to do is to disable the automatic update of Windows.
  Chose the option check for updates but let me choose when... and before enable update checking the list of all the available updates.
  Be sure only important updates will be installed. Do not install the updates defined as optional.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Computer takes forever to start (windows 8)

  Until recently my phone has taken an hour or more at the start (and I'm pretty sure it takes a lot of time to stop but that doesn't bother me). When I hit the power button / I hear the fan or something when I put my ear close by, but all lights only stays on for a few seconds and then I don't hear it anymore. My computer will simply if sit like a black screen... as the monitor is asleep or something, suspecting he was asleep I tried to hit the SPACEBAR several times to wake up but no it doesn't. . After what seems like years, I finally see the lenovo loading screen and it starts up fast from there. I tried to run ccleaner, tried to make a record of cleaning / optimization, I scanned for virus/malware, I fiddled around in the boot parameters by running 'msconfig', disabled some startup programs and nothing I tried worked even. I go GeekSquad.com and they tried to help me remotely and they said that "it seemed that I just needed a good tuneup", so if any of you know what they do to optimizations that could be useful and I can try to do it myself.

  When I go on the start with Ctrl Alt Del menu it says my last time of bios is about 2.8 seconds

  I guess I can give you the specs of my computer just to save time incase someone asks:

  Lenovo IdeaPad N580

  Processor: Intel Pentium CPU 2.20 GHz 2.20 GHz B960

• Offsite replica takes forever to start, hangs on the activation of CBT

  We saw two separate instances of this, both are Windows Server 2008R1 VMs on separate VMware 5.5.0 hosts. Two different environments/locations.

  Common

  • Both are supported by separate servers from Veeam B & R.
  • Once the replica is started, it can be off and on normally, no timeout, second power on acts as expected
  • Both are suspended on a drive of about 1TiB
  • Guest readers are 10 k
  • Power on operation happens expired, tempting second power on results in "another task is already underway"
  • No load on the server
  • This has been a recurring problem, but recently has taken longer than usual, used to be anywhere between 5-10 minutes

  First of all, 31minutes

  We ended up disabling CBT on the replica of VM during the manual/test failover.

  Just go to the options of VM and set ctkEnabled of your discs on false values.

  The replica of the boots now instantly.

  Problem is that this should be done every time we start the replica.

  Hi razorray1,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. Do you have any third-party DVD burning software installed on the computer?

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Reset the computer to start as usual
