Hello,
Nice meeting you all out there here ! Great are the cool in heart hardworkers who can really help.
I do work on my manager's laptop for one yr passed now successfully,but this yr it has began gving problems which need patience until they are solved.Sometime back it gave me a hard time to install vision with excel which our accountants use with sun accounts but after some months it worked.Just after it started to restart itself or shut down by itself whiles it appeared as if the battery is low.It has both windows power mang,t and toshiba power mang't in the control panel .The windows' one had been set to "turn off harddisk after 25mins" but when i'm going in to change it'll disable and ask me to use toshiba's.After sometimes going in the setup which had no problem and fiddling with toshiba's power sys.it stopped. But now the weird problem is that anytime it's started,b4 it loads to windows it beeps at anyone infront of it until you press ctrl +alt (which i detected) and uptill now that's the way out 4 me ;i don't pls if can anybdy tell why and help.
Also ,another problem is that the touch pad sometimes works, sometime it doesnt( today it worked, but yesterday it didnt ),so i had to supplement it with a USB mouse.
Just yesterday somethng strange that i'm suggesting might be a virus,OS ,CMOS ,memory ,or BIOS Problem started happening ;when it boots to desktop,one specific icon down the left corner highlights and any icon else on the desktop that is opened rather opens the icon highlighted.I tried to delete the highlighted icon but a new one is being highlighted and the same thing keeps going on ,so you cant even open my computer;i bet you !!!
Also when i go in my computer's properties it opens alright but doesnt allow you to leave the general tab.
One more thing;-when you type in any application,it takes time sometimes (about 30secs) b4 they start appearing .
Pls,i hope somebdy out there can help.
