2 Small problems with Vista

ok, i've got 2 problems with vista for a long time since i couldn't find the way to fix em and i think it's time already to get them solved

First is about the battery status in taskbar, when Vista loads up desktop the battery manager that allows you to change the mode get freezed and i have to wait a few mins to be able to change it... it's not that much of a problem since its just a few mins but it annoys me.

Second is about the usb icon on the same taskbar, when i try to disconnect an usb device with left click -> disconnect it just ignores me i have to open the disconnect window, select de device and disconnect... i'm TOO used to do it the other way and everytime i try to disconnect an usb i get owned

Any help would be greatly welcome

 

First problem: Let your OS completely load...this means when the light for HD load is off or starts blinking (next to power on light usually)

Second problem: I ve always used left click on vista & xp .....in your case it means the device is not responding...does it happen always?

 

OS should be completely loaded, otherwise it's taking a lot of time, i can do anything, open explorer, programs and it just runs fine, but if i try to pop up the battery thing it starts loading for a while...

As for the usb problem, yeah it happens always, if i do it the other way it works ok, but if i try to left click nothing happens... :S odd

 

This is not a problem with vista. It's a regular thing. It happens for me too.

Every icon will stay white for sometime after the desktop had loaded.

 

Vista allows you to actually "use" it while the rest still loads unlike xp.

 

i've never seen anything like that in Vista (Ultimate) and i'm running on an older (2+ yo) machine. it sounds like you have something set to scan at startup like a/v or a bunch of apps are trying to update or something. basically, at startup there's an app or apps that are configured to do a bunch of work at startup.

i'd bet dollars to donuts that's the problem.

or it's malware
