I have just bought a the above laptop and set up the wireless newwork in my house.

Each time I start the laptop I have to stop and restart it about 4 times to get it fully functional.

When it starts wrongly and I click START there are only the icons up to programs no shortcuts above it and no matter what I do I cant get any applications to start.

After about 3 or 4 restarts it manages to work but I never get any error messages ?

Can anyone suggest what might e wrong.

TIA

Did it start up fine before you installed the wireless network?

I boght them both the same day and switched on the laptop and it started ok but I then immediately installed the wireless network and the laptop picked it up.

Although the answer to your question is yes it was only once.

Thanks for you assistance.
