Hi George - It would be nice to have things running at optimum speed, not that
this is sluggish generally, mostly just when booting up. I've Googled "hp
network drivers" and of course, got lots of hits. Often, there is too much
information, and that confuses me. Driver Manager claims to be able to scan my
computer, find, download and install all the latest drivers. Is that the kind
of service to trust, or is it best to get them from the HP website? Cos I took
a look on HP.co.uk, and didn't get very far when searching for drivers -

I do understand, but the end result is well worth it.

Hi George - Can't say I like that "BIG BUT!" Think I'd rather live with
things as they are than start to mess with a fresh install -

Hi Andy,
The suggestion to wipe the drive and start fresh is sensible, but - and
it's a big BUT.
Every HP I've dealt with to date, and there have been quite a few, does not
like having a genuine copy of Windows installed on it for one major reason.
The lack of HP's network drivers. That said, provided you download these first
to a memory stick or such like, and remember to install them after you have
installed Windows, it will then allow you access to the Internet.

Hi Andy.
Could you provide full specifications of your laptop? that might go some
way to providing an explanation.
all the best,
Mo.

Hi all -
I did a time check this morning for the time it takes from actually
turning on the laptop, to accessing the desk top with JAWS13. Here's what I
found:
Time taken from turning on to hearing start up music for Vista, 70
seconds, approx.
Time taken from hearing Vista start up music to JFW speaking the log-on
screen, 2 minutes, approx.
Time taken from entering log-on password, to desk top where JAWS
announces "JAWS is ready...", 80 seconds, approx.
So, a total time of about 4.5 minutes. Do others find this consistent
with their booting/logging on experience? It feels rather long to me, I am only
allowing a handful of apps to load at start up, but it might be that Avast is
doing a boottime scan ahead of my log on, so, it would be interesting to hear
how long it takes other peoples machines to reach the desk top, both those with
Avast installed, and those without it -
Andy
