Delete location profile?

[cameramonkey]

As I recall, Windows saves profile info based on hardware configs. For example it knows when your PC is docked/closed with dual external monitors vs sitting on the conference room table running on the built-in LCD.

Is it possible to delete ONE of those hardware profiles without nuking the entire user profile?

I have a Dell E6500 with an Nvidia chipset. it works beautifully out and about, or at home with an external monitor plugged into the displayport socket.

However when I am docked, my system hangs several times per day (sometimes twice an hour) where it goes unresponsive, etc. half the time it shows the wifi connection is disconnected and then reconnected)

If I run the snip tool the system will hang for up to 60 seconds before the screen goes black and then snip tool opens.

If I CTL ALT DEL it will hang for 30-60 seconds, the screen goes black momentarily, and then it shows the appropriate menu.

Any ideas?

as far as I know, hardware profiles where not implemented in W7, at least not in the way that they where available under XP...

updating the drivers and BIOS, would be one place to start...

PS: make sure that when you update the graphic/vga drivers, that you use the DELL version for your laptop...
