Please wait...... (New Thread)

[Guest rmo555@cox.net]

I posted this to the help and support group but haven't received any

advise that works. Perhaps someone in this group can help:

 

 

Right after the POST and just before I see the Logon screen, I get a

light blue screen and the words "Please Wait......" appear at the top

left of the screen. The '.' (periods) after the word 'wait' continue

one by one until they stop and the Logon continues. Does anyone know

why this might happen and what I can do about it? Thank you.

Please learn to Cross-Post and NOT Multi-Post.

 

If you had Cross-Posted this query in the first place your ONE post would be in BOTH news

groups.

Certain applications must perform their work before XP loads

drivers and the desktop is started. Usually you'll see this screen

on things like a boot time/off-line defrag using Perfect Disk or

Diskeeper. However those program show status progress and

not just the ......I'd investigate what is starting at boot and also

take a look at the System Event Log.

That screen appears when a task has been scheduled by Windows (or you) such

as a chkdsk on the system volume or a boot time defrag. However you should

see text relating to the task. It sounds like Windows is waiting for a task

of some sort to finish before proceeding with start up.

Totally agree. However, I didn't think of it when I first posted the

query. In addition, I have found that many people don't like

cross-posting. I just can't seem to win!! David, I respect you very

much - but I can't have it both ways. I always try to be careful how

and where I post - but I guess I can't please everyone. I'm always

open to suggestions though.

Thos who don't like X-posting are those who either don't know better or don't like excessive

X-posting.

 

The advantages of X-posting is that replies made go to all X-Posted groups and all benefit.

 

X-Posting is just more effective in getting responses.

 

Believe me, I have posted to one group and then thought "I should have also posted to group

X" and I too have Multi-Posted :-(

Yes, I agree. I always thought that cross posting was more efficient

if you could expect a wider "audience" that might have good responses.

Nothing wrong with cross-posting IMO.

 

Those of us with real news readers like Forte Agent can use our crosspost

management preferences to weed out cross posts and receive just one post from

among the several or have all but one marked as read.

 

It is the Multi-posting that is the time and effort waster.

 

BTW.........how do you find Agent 4.2?

 

I tried 3.0 or whatever the version was and did not like the interface.

 

I've stuck with 2.0 and satisfied with it.

Sorry, but I haven't used any other versions so have nothing to compare

it to. Seems OK to me.
