Sluggish Start up / Shutdown

[Jerry]

Don't let the command line intimidate you. All you're dong is reading instructions, then copying and pasting.

Hmmm, out of my league Jerry. I'm not prepared to risk meddling with something I'm unsure how to proceed with. I'll let sleeping dogs lie.

Greetings,

I have recently installed LL 3.0 on a 6 year old HP TouchSmart tm2 notebook, however I'm finding it to be somewhat sluggish to start up and shutdown. When restarting, it has frozen up on me a couple of times and have had to power off - lately it's been OK although still sluggish to restart. Also the welcome screen i.e the one with the feather, is not occupying the full screen - there's a blue strip around the top and a wider blue strip on the left side of the screen. My display is correctly set at 1280 x 800. Otherwise, everything else is OK. Any ideas?

Thanks
Paul
