I'm guessing it might be some other program running in the background on your desktop that isn't running on the laptop. Try left clicking on stuff on your task bar (bottom right corner of screen) and disable things one at a time. One of them might be the problem. Look for one running on the desktop that isn't running on the laptop. Here's how to find out what's started on bootup. Run Windows Explorer or My Computer and look in Windows Start Menu Programs Startup If that doesn't work, there's a way to check the registry to see what it starts on boot up. Start Run Regedit (From here on, click on the little plus sign at the beginning of these lines) HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Cick once on anything that starts with "Run" - things started automatically will appear in right panel. Then do the same thing starting with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE If you want to save anything in the right panel before deleting it, click on it once and then Registry (upper left of screen) Export Name it. To restore it later, just go to My Documents and double click on the file (ending with ".reg") and it puts it back. Hope I didn't scare you here - you can do a side by side comparison for suspicious programs. BTW, this is also how you can find virus and trojan programs without a virus checker. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
