I hate my laptop. [Rant]

Well, last night I ended up letting the laptop run until my battery was low enough that my computer went to sleep.

I got back home, and it worked perfectly fine; right up until I went to shut down the computer; it was taking forever to log off, and after abuot 10-15 minutes, I finally just shut the damn thing down myself.

Well, now, I go to try and use it, and the fucking thing takes forever to log off again, I can't even open up my connection center to conenct to the internet, I can't even fucking view pictures (When I double click to view a picture, it doesn't come up at all). I had JUST recently had this laptop fixed because the hard drive went back in it, and it pisses me off that I'm already having problems with it.

I'm fucking sick and tired of not being able to use my fucking laptop for anything without it coughing up, and not working for me. I'm fucking sick of having to use the campus computers with teeny tiny text; I especially hate having to use the ones in the fucking dining center because it only has Internet Exploerer, which is a fucking peice of shit, and I can't even right click anything to pull up tabs, and the monitor itself is inside a protective case so it's about a foot from your face, and I can't read any fucking text on the screen because its too far away.

I am fucking pissed as hell, espeically considering that my father is going away this weekend, and I NEED this laptop in order to even surrive the weekend.

God fucking dammit.

I'm sorry to hear your laptop

I'm currently running a System Test on it right now.

It's taking a while, but I'm hoping that it's a simple fix, so I don't have to take it to get it repaired.

I can't believe it's doing this this week of all weeks....

I know this is going to be a very stupid question, but what does "OS" stand for?

I probably wouldn't be able to say anyway, since I just got my laptop to somebody last night...

Operating System.. Windows

Operating System.. Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Apple, etc.

It's a Windows Vista. Lenovo laptop.

Seems there are various things that can cause slow shutdown / log off.. Some of them being some drivers or programs that aren't shutting down properly. Other things could involve the OS doing some other stuff before shutdown, like pagefile or cache clearing.

Some registry editing can help boost shutdown/logoff speed but that's something best left to someone who knows how to safely edit the registry because editing it wrong can cause all sorts of more serious problems. x3

Nnn, I just gave it to my father last night, and I called the guy earlier about it, but he's yet to take a real good look at it still.

I just hope it's something that can be fixed before this weekend...
