| 1325670 | 2013-01-30 17:39:00 | The HD of my lappie sometimes takes ages to load a program after you clicked on the icon. Once going, no problem. The HD light, when OK, flickers all the time, but when slow loading, shows the light all the time (=HD too busy?). I've searched for this kind of problem but one really do not know what to search for. Any help appreciated. And this started about a week ago - no problems before that. Win7, Toshiba laptop, what else do you need? sarel |
