    Over the Memorial Day Weekend I fixed my m17x R3 performed ac lean install restored the feel and look of my laptop. Now I have a problem, it is not major (my computer still runs properly and quickly) I just would like to pinpoint what exactly is causing this.

    The problem only occurs when I shut my Alienware down for a long period of time, the error does not occur if I immediately restart the machine. When I boot my laptop after a period of time of not using it, I run into a windows boot manager error that looks like this http://www.interwebnets.com/tempimages/vistaerror.gif. I am able to get pass this by removing my mouse and all the other usb devices connected to the computer, but I know there has to be a better way to solve this. Could someone enlighten me on my problem please.
