I just rebooted and it took 50 minutes for the POST to run.......
I hope you have some help for me. The laptop works fine in all modes except internet explorer. Sometimes the windows will pop up very quickly but not very often. As I said before it is slower than dial-up.
I am connected to Century Tel with t6heir Netopia Modem which I have changed twice so caln rule that out (hopefully).
I have run spyware programs, AVG and Ad-aware and found nothing. Norton has never alerted to any virus.
a post that long tends to indicate a hardware problem (though USB devices can also cause it to hang). press F12 at the dell screen and run the full set of diagnostics.
