Dead battery, maybe just weak? BTW, if you post the same
question 10 times real fast, such as within 5 minutes, do
you think you'll get more answers faster?

| Hi Folks,
|
| I have a 3-yr-old Sony Vaio laptop, FXA36, with a 
one-year-old HDD. My boot
| has been slowing down lately. Sometimes it takes a half 
hour to get fully
| into Windows now. Coming out of hiberation is a 
hit-or-miss proposition. If I
| restore the system within a short time, the re-boot is 
fine, but if the
| system sits for several hours, the restore from 
hibernation sometimes fails
| (LSA Shell InPageError).
|
| Updated anti-virus software gives the machine a clean bill 
of health, as
| does SpyBot S&D. Chkdsk says there's no problems with the 
disk.  Once
| started, Windows works normally.
|
| Any ideas?
|
| Thanks,
| Jerry
