windows for the first time did not hang at all but after that i restarted again and the back to the same old thing i use ac97 onboard sound maby this is what we all got?

You can see my laptop specs above, i have no tv tuner, i think it was probably a side effect of an update from MS. The problem started this past semester, and I've had the comp for 2 years now. Something must have been changed with netowork services in an update dealing with security patches. I would say the only fix would to be uninstall certain specific critical updates (not me), or wait for MS to address the problem (not likely). I can live with it if I know others are suffering with it. I'm never in that big of a hurry to get online. I vould always plan ahead and start the comp a minute earlier, but that would require superman-like foresight.
