Guest OS XP disgusted Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I sent this email to Microsoft. Any solutions? I doubt it. Just when do you know when the computer is ready to work with after startup when the hour glass comes on and goes off continuously. Is it the first time, the second time or the third time the hour glass goes off? Don't you think this is not too smart?? I wait and wait and wait for the hour glass to go away, thinking that this is it. Know I can click on something and get started working, but NO, the hour glass came on again, it is still loading something. I have to wait for I don't know how long before it goes away and may come back up again. I have worked with a MAC for years and when all the icons come up, I know I am ready to start work and when the spinning wheel stops (which is spinning until something is completely loaded and finished loaded) I know I can start working. How simple. I can not figure out for the life of me why after so many years MICROSOFT has not picked up on this outrageous default all the way up to the XP version. NOT VERY SMART IN MY OPINION. This has aggravated me ever since I purchased an IBM compatible to learn and compare operating systems. I would like someone from the software development department of your software to email me and explain why this feature has not been addressed in all these years. Frustrated? Yes!!!!

Guest Gerry Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Re: Mirsoft XP startup Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No Information Reports please. You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important. HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further information. http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp (Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only) A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer. -- Hope this helps.

Guest OS XP disgusted Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Re: Mirsoft XP startup Thanks for your reply. Your answer is not what I am looking for. That is not what I am getting at. The hour glass does not stay on (continuously) when loading anything. I comes and goes and stays gone for quite a while while your sitting there wondering if it is finished loading whatever it it loading. My MAC's spinning wheel is continuous spinning while it is loading anything and when it stops, I know I am ready to continue working. That is not the case with Microsoft.

Guest Bob I Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Re: Mirsoft XP startup Nope, XP may only give the hour glass when it's "really" busy. OS XP disgusted wrote: > Thanks for your reply.
