Hi evereyone, I have just bought a HP Laptop whose specifications are Intel centrino duo with 1.66GHz , 512 MB RAM, 80 GB hdd and dvd writer. Whenever I switch on the system it takes ages to load after the WELCOME screen in windows XP Home edition. It usually happens when the laptop is running on batteries. Can someone please tell me what the problem might be and how to overcome it? Is it a Hardware or Software problem? Thanks
