On booting W7 will not now go past the Welcome screen until I disconnect my network drive...

Since the latest W7 updates on 14th Jan my Dell Studio XPS will only boot if I disconnect my network HD first. Otherwise it just hangs at about one third of the way into the welcome screen W7 booting process.
Is there any fix for this?

Hi,
It may waste a lot of time for initializing network while booting into desktop.
So, please check Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
policy setting and disable it under Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates \ System\Logon
To capture a boot trace, install the
WPT , open command prompt with admin rights and run this command:
xbootmgr -trace boot -traceflags base+latency+dispatcher -stackwalk profile+cswitch+readythread -notraceflagsinfilename -postbootdelay 10

  • Ipod touch will not turn on past the black apple screen

    my ipod is an older gen (not sure which-before they added the camera) adn it will not turn on past the black screen with an apple. i have tried holding the home and lock button for 10+ seconds. i have also tried charging it haha.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Satellite L500 will not load past the 'welcome' screen

    Hi,
    My Toshiba Satellite L500 laptop will not load past the 'welcome' screen. The cursor thing just keeps going around and around but won't go to my desktop.
    Last night it went into some temporary profile and it had a message saying 'your other profile cannot load at this time please try again later'
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kara

    The error message is not known to me and also searching in google didnt get any hints.
    Possibly your Windows OS is muddled up.
    Did you try to boot Win 7 in safe mode?
    Try this. Restart your notebook, tap the F8 key.
    In advanced boot options choose the option called Safe Mode.
    If the notebook does not allow booting in Safe Mode, try the option Last Good Known Configuration.
    If this didnt help, try Repair my Computer. Here you can choose between different settings.
    The one which could solve this is HDD recovery which helps you to set the notebook to factory settings. But this means also that your HDD would be formatted!
    So be aware of this!

  • My computer was dropped yesterday and it will not turn on past this gray screen that tells me to reboot it but everytime I reboot it, it just goes back to that same screen and tells me to do it again. Anyone know how to fix this?

    When you jar or drop a hard drive when it's operating the heads strike the platters and ruin sectors and the data on them.
    Your getting the spinning wheel because the OS has been damaged and/or quite possibly the drive.
    You'll first have to determine if it's a hardware issue
    Do #3 Hardware Test and #5 Disk Utlity Repair Disk/Permissions here (check the SMART status)
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If the drive is fine and you don't have a recent copy of your data off the machine then also do this
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Then proceed with fixing the damaged software, likley by #8 your problem will be fixed.

  • Whenever I click on iTunes store, it just takes me to this huge add to download the new version of iTunes. I have tried clicking the download box and downloading it, but it still will not let me past the add so I can buy music. What gives

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

    Hey 6bigdog6,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like the album has been synced to your iPhone from iTunes. To delete synced photos, you’ll want to uncheck the album in iTunes:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    1. In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    2. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    3. Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
      Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    4. Click Apply.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

        Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

  • My iphone 4s will not stop autofocusing on the lock screen camera?

    My new iphone 4s will not stop autofocusing on the lock screen camera, (the regular camera is fine.) It seems to focus on my face and then the green box surrounding my face doesn't go away, and I cannot click anything or exit until my screen locks after 15 seconds. What is wrong?

    how did you turn it on?
    I ask because I may not own a iphone4s but only a iphone4 and it don't have a LED on the front only on the back

  • HT1349 I can't get past the welcome screen for my new macbook pro. Help!!

    Seriously. My new macbook pro will not let me progress past the welcome screen. It will not let me select australia (or any other) country as its host country!!!!

    I just had the exact same problem. You must physically push down on the trackpad and get an audible "click" to activate the continue button on the language screen. The one-touch click function is not yet enabled on your Macbook because you haven't set it up yet. This should work for you. It did for me!

  • Can't get past the welcome screen

    I just purchased this and have been trying to set it up. I have been on the welcome screen for 2 hours now.  I can't get past the screen where you check the country.  That's it.  It's selected but nothing works and the VO hasn't indicated anything other then how to navigate through the table.  Once you have highlighted the country you want, why can't I select it and move on??

    remember that you can always call Apple to help you setup your MBP:

  • Windows 7 won't load past the welcome screen

    I'm trying to boot up my laptop but it keeps hanging on the welcome screen. I go through the password page and then it just sticks on the welcome screen with the little spinning circle. It does the same in safe mode but the circle is completely frozen
    on the welcome screen and then it gets no further. I don't have a windows recovery CD. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I suggest boot into Recovery Console to perform System Restore to test the issue.
    1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer using the computer's power button.
    2. Do one of the following:
    If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windowslogo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon
    prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
    If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.
    3. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press Enter. (If Repair your computer isn't listed as an option, then your computer
    doesn't include preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has turned them off.)
    4. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.
    5. On the System Recovery Options menu, click
    System Restore.
