Hi,
Thanks in advance for any help you can suggest.
I have a HP Compaq laptop using Windows vista 'basic' OS.
The battery pack always has to plugged into the mains otherwise the laptop will run out of battery and turn itself off (not the main problem i need solving).
I had a few programmes running and wasn't aware that the power adaptor had slipped out and the laptop ran out of battery and shutdown automatically ( not through the proper procedure).
Ever since this happened the laptop has been running poorly.
For 1, whenever User Account Control pops up for a programme and I press continue, the screen freezes (in the shaded mode) and I have to exit through ctrl, alt, del.
Secondly the laptop seems to be taking alot longer to boot up than before the forced shutdown.
I have ran full virus scans, and it says everything is fine.
No doubt this has happened to someone and you could help me!
Thanks alot
Matt
