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.

to desk top

                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
