Hello, I got an extremely peculiar thing going on. I had windows vista 64 bit on my machine and it kept booting to BSOD so I decided to re-install. I fired up my windows vista DVD and much to my dismay, neither the keyboard nor the mouse were responsive. I tested 2 separate keyboards both are...

After a few days of using windows 7 build 7100 on my Asus EEEpc 1000HE (2GB ram) i've noticed that it takes a long time before the logon interface shows up. The system boots really fast but when it gets to the logon screen it stays black for about 30s except a little piece of screen in the top...

My computer was slower than normal to boot for a while, it would stay on the Welcome... page for about 12secs (a long time). I turned on verbose messages, and it turns out, its "preparing my desktop" on each boot. Two questions 1. What possible reasons could there be for such a thing? 2...
