I am experiencing a delay on the windows sound when my computer boots up. The computer starts and the screen appears but the typical windows start-up sound is delayed by about 5 seconds. I know that this can be adjusted.

I have a HP laptop with intel pentium dual-core and windows vista. The problem is, when I started to turn it on just now, the screen went blank and the lights beside the caps lock key and scroll key kept blinking. I tried again and again for three times.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI stayed at a hotel this weekend in Nashville and used the hotel's internet connection. While at the hotel, they had a welcome page that said, "Welcome to Nashville" where you would agree to the terms and conditions before browsing the Internet.Now that I am back home, whenever I initially launch IE9, the first tab that comes up has a title of "Welcome to Nashville"It sits there for 20-30 seconds, presumably searching for the hotel proxy. Then, it gives up and Google--which is my normal home page--launches normally. From that point forward, everything works fine until the next time I open my browser.I've already checked my proxy settings, and there was nothing added there. No errors appear whatsoever, just that initial tab name.

Is there any way that i can fix this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt seems like it takes several 5-10 minutes for windows 7 to realize its supposed to grant my computer access to the network. After boot up, I open the network and only see my own computer. I refresh several times over 5 minutes and finally the other network computers appear.
How do I fix this?
Does anyone have a list of services that can be delayed? I run Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate. I do have connection to the internet via a router out to Comcast and I am on a homegroup BUT I can sacrifice that.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just finished installing Windows 7 Ultimate x64 in my system with all the latest drivers on it. I use a Crucial M4 128GB SSD. I just noticed now that whenever I restart the computer I don't hear the startup sound? All other sounds like Shutdown sound, clicking, etc. are fine. "play windows startup sound" is also checked in the Sound properties in Control Panel. What could be wrong with this? My first hunch was because the SSD was too fast for the sound to play but I asked some friends in another forum that also has the same SSD as mine that they do hear that Windows 7 startup sound.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn my new Lenovo V570, I've been having an issue where it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to connect to my local network.It will show all the available networks in the list, and either if I wait, or if I try to click my automatic network and click "connect", it still takes a large chunk of time.This happens on all of my saved connections, as well as any public connections I try to access.I believe my wireless is run through Intel My Wi-fi, though for some reason the icon is no longer in my icon tray.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout 75% of the time, when I lift the lid to resume my laptop from sleep, the laptop will not resume immediately. The screen will remain black, the wifi light stays disabled, and while I can hear the fan, nothing else really happens.Usually after anywhere from 3 to 20 seconds, though, the laptop will eventually wake up, and I believe it tends to be when the hard drive actually starts spinning -- the hard drive light will blink and I'll hear the faint 'click' of the hard diskThe resume used to be more or less instant. I've reformatted since I first noticed this problem, yet I still have it, which makes me think it might be a hardware issue
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been having a very weird problem for a while now and can't seem to find anyone else who has experienced my version. Whenever I wake my PC from sleep the network adapter does not detect any networks (can't access my router either). When I run the diagnostic tool and it says that there may be a problem with the network adapter driver. However after 2 or so minutes the adapter suddenly finds the network and connects. When I run the diagnostic tool again it says everythings fine.

[code]...
bought my pc a few days ago. After installing all the drivers I decided to play Splinter Cell Conviction and the graphics ran perfect on max settings with max AA and AF, except the mouse felt like it was delayed a quarter/half second. So basically it became impossible to aim. Decided to try Quake Live - exactly the same, but it got fixed after turning vertical sync off. Checked on world of warcraft, at some areas it's more, at some less intense, but it definitely is there.It feels like the cursor on the screen is delayed half/quarter a second compared to how I move the actual mouse.In world of warcraft there in an option in video settings 'reduce input lag'. When turned on everything is perfect, but fps drops from ~60 to ~40.It's the first time I use windows 7 x64 so I might have missed something, or maybe even installed some wrong/old drivers, or just don't know something.then trying to fix it for the past 2 days. Checked some topics on this forum, but didn't find any fix either. Really could use a hand.
whenever I move a window left or right there is a delay it is not moving fastly means drag is working really slow while I try to drag the window?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIf you prefer the normal way to change the .dll, then this will show you how to: Startup Sound - Change in Windows 7 Below is a and simple trick to change the startup sound for Windows 7 that does not involve changing a dll. So, for anyone who prefers not to tamper with dlls?First (this could be the hardest part): get the sndrec32.exe from Windows XP (just copy it from your old system). On your Windows 7 system, put the sndrec32.exe somewhere you prefer, e.g. in your Programs folder. Run the application once as an administrator and close it so it will register to the Registry. If you don't do this, you might get a warning message every time it runs. Create a shortcut to sndrec32 on your desktop. Right-click the shortcut > Properties > Tab Shortcut. Edit the target: add /embedding /play /close and the path to the wav file you want to be played at startup.E.g., change it to "C:Program Files (x86)sndrec32.exe" /embedding /play /close D:DocumentsMySound.wav Cut the shortcut from the desktop and paste it in your startup folder. (To access the startup folder, click START > All Progams, right-click on Startup > Explore all users ) Disable the normal Windows 7 startup sound. (Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Sounds and uncheck the option "Play Windows Startup Sound") And that's it! What you've done is you have simply told Windows 7 not to use its own startup sound, but to run sndrec32 at startup in invisible mode (embedding), play your wav file and close again. The effect is that you will hear your wave file being played with no lag during startup.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I boot into windows, just before the login screen, at the 'windows is starting' screen I get a pop come through my speakers. My guess is this is the sound card initialising but I never had this issue with the same hardware config using XP. It's properbly not an issue for most, but I have sensitive speakers that were not cheap and I am worried that it might be damaging them as it is a sudden sharp pop. Is anyone else experiancing this, or is it just me?

View 0 Replies View RelatedSome (not all) videos which I play are having their audio delayed by 3.5 seconds and the video starts from 3.5 seconds itself(but shows as 00:00:00).I can fix this by using the setting audio delay function in MPC as -3500. This happens only in MPC. When I play it in Windows media player it works normally.I am guessing there is some problem in video encoding but then it works fine in Window media player. Most video files I have is in AVI format. But I encountered this problem in a MP4 video too. Another thing worth noticing is that when I try converting the problem files into a different format, it fails.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI ran across an issue when I booted my computer this morning. One of the tray icons was missing that usually shows and my cursor was spinning non-stop. Not to mention nothing else worked. It was frozen, so I pressed the power button and restarted it that way,Normal, not in safe mode.I'm sending 2 Snips to show you what I think was the reason for this. gupdate is set for Auto(Delayed) start in services. When I went in there and looked gupdate was no started at either time. The first time 9:35:58am was when this whole mess started. I just happened to go back an hour later to look in Event Viewer and it was listed again and still not started with the same explanation.Would this have caused this freeze or crash and is there anything that can be done to rectify this deal? I know some people disable gupdate and everything to do with it but I do not want to get into this.
View 6 Replies View RelatedEverything works fine but every time I restart windows it takes a good 3-5 minutes for the 'Network and Sharing Center' icon to "load". Basically it has that circular loading icon hovering over it like it's loading something, and sometimes it has a red cross over it. During this time Firefox won't load and MSE disables real time protection until the network center says I'm connected.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have installed a new Creative "Soundblaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB Audio System with THX SB1095" soundcard. I disabled the old on-board card. Note: It's USB. When I start-up, shutdown, sleep or wake, I get a very loud POP thru the speakers.I contacted Creative and they told me this is "normal" because Windows 7 is polling the USB input to see if there is anything connected. This doesn't sound right, because it happens when I shutdown or sleep, too! Why would Windows poll a usb input while shutting down or going to sleep?
View 2 Replies View RelatedEarlier yesterday I was having an issue where sound was both playing through my laptop's speakers as well as the headphones I had plugged in. Not really knowing an exact way to fix this I went to the device and disabled it hoping that could temporarily solve my problem. Now, I am assuming because of this whenever I boot into Windows 7 I get to the "please wait" screen then instantly get a blue screen every time and I can only boot into safe mode. I found this thread (one or more audio service isnt running) through Google and found that this user had the same issues I was having (I am also getting the audio service error when I run the troubleshooterI believer my speakers are Realtek and when I run dxdiag I get the hardware ID of DAUDIOFUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0272&SUBSYS_1025028D&REV_1000 (I ran this dxdiag in the copy of the Windows 8 dev preview I have also installed to my hard drive)I do have the results from Windows_NT6_BSOD_jcgriff2 attached but when I ran perfmon /report I got: "An error occurred while attempting to generate the report.The system cannot find the path specified."My copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit came pre-installed on my machine which I got either 2 or 3 years ago, don't remember exactly
View 4 Replies View RelatedThere are two things which have been bugging me off for some time now: a suspicious 'Undo Rename' in the right-click context menu even if I did not rename anything, and a delayed 'Undo Delete' in the right-click context (I deleted a shortcut from the desktop and it took some time for the Recycle Bin to be filled and an 'Undo Delete' option in the right-click menu to show up).My User Account Control is set to maximum yet there's no UAC prompt to rename something. I didn't recall renaming a specific file(s) as well, all files from my desktop to folders remain "as is" or were unchanged.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron and a while ago I shut down my PC and the next morning I was faced with options to repair my computer. It hung on the screen for ages before it actually came up with startup repair and supposedly fixed the problem. A few days later, everything got very slow and started to freeze a lot and before long, booting the computer got very slow as well as it hung for about ten minutes on a black screen after the 'welcome' screen before finally starting up. I decided to reinstall the operating system (I did NOT reformat the C drive), so I borrowed my Grandma's external hard drive and copied my files. After reinstalling using a Dell Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium Re-Installation DVD, I copied and deleted the files off the external hard drive onto my PC (I didn't know it would create a Windows.old folder) and started installing programs. Then I left it overnight to install quite a big program. This morning, somehow it had turned off. I turned it on and it gave me the safe mode options and a 'start windows normally' option. I chose the latter and after typing my password it hung on the welcome screen again. I left it for ages and it just went back to the user login screen again. I pressed the red button in the corner to shut it down but it just hung once again on an empty screen so I did a hard shutdown (held down the power button). I turned it on again...startup repair. It gave me the option for system restore, which I did (then realising when it finished that I hadn't made a backup). I booted it, and again it wouldn't start properly. At this time, safe mode booted fine. After trying various things (even using a compressed air can to get rid of dust) and a few hard shutdowns, suddenly every option from the advanced boot menu took me to startup repair except 'Repair your Computer' which gave the normal options for repair (although now it only gives me 2, Startup Repair and DataSafe Restore and Emergency Backup. Now when I do startup repair, some times it says it has fixed the problem, and sometimes it says it cannot be fixed automatically and gives me information on the problem (a few things it said were: 'StartupRepairOffline', 'AutoFailover' and 'CorruptRegistry').
I can't reinstall my computer because then I would lose my precious files.
Is there some way I can save my files and reinstall or even just save my files somehow or am I screwed?
