| 766052 | 2009-04-21 02:11:00 | blah blah blah..takes more than a minute to load, ... Any suggestion to speed it up please? Holy cow , a whole minute. :banana:banana:banana Turn it on, be patient, Allow up to 3 minutes for Vista to load & the AV to do a startup scan. Some (new) Laptops ARE slow anyway. If you cant wait the one minute, you will need to install some flux capacitors, replacing your low ESR caps. Perhaps upgrade from vista to Win95 or Dos. Dos loads pretty quick. |

| 766053 | 2009-04-21 02:20:00 | 2. Meh, drivers. Easily downloadable. Some manufacturers driver sites give a choice of 3-4 different drivers for each 'hardware device' for that model PC/laptop. Can be a frustrating process downloading 4 different drivers for each device & using the old trial & error process to find which is the correct driver for that device. Occasionly the correct driver is not listed, not often but does happen.:annoyed: |

This will allow your laptop to travel forward in time to after it has booted, making the boot seem instantaneous. Rubycon are the best. |

"unkown device" Even a google of the device instance ID/hardware ID number can be a wild goose chase. If its going I take a note of the hardware types 1st, often if Im lucky there is a driver dir on the C: :thumbs::thumbs: Dont you just love it when the restore CD doesnt install any drivers, they all have to be setup manually. Some Major PC/lappy manufacturers obviously havnt heard of HD imaging software. |

It gives the exact model number of any device it finds without drivers. :thumbs: |

Does backups, restores, updates etc Also has an option to create a driver installation package without needed driver magician which is quite useful. Standalone exe:) Blam |
