Got the above Acer laptop on single core normal uPC 1gb mem. The unit has been repeatedly turned off at the mains without going thru
the normal shutdown. The problem is that after start-up, it is busy 'looking on the net' for something. This results in the unit being unuseable for 30mins! After this period it's fine. If I disconect it from the net on start-up it works OK.
Its been defragged on two different programmes (this made quite a difference!), I've ran asshampoo regcleaner, turned off programs on the start-up menu. the problem is that there must be something in 'processes' in task manager thats keeping the unit so busy for half anhour or so. At this point I'm a bit unsure of what to turn off in case the thing won't re-start.
Thanks for any help or advice.
SJM.
