My computer would not restart out of sleep stage and took about 10 minutes to fully boot from a cold start. A few days ago Firefox wouldn't open at all, so I used Opera to get on this site.
Yesterday I'd had enough and backed everything up on DVDs and did a full system recovery to factory new. A 10 hour process over 2 days.
Basically the same thing other than Firefox now works.
When I'm told to reboot to complete the update install, it has to go into startup repair. Sometimes it will restart after that and sometimes it will recycle from the beginning. Sometimes I'm told Startup repair was unable to automatically repair the problem. Either way, when it gets to the desktop it acts as though it's the first start and looks for updates, then needs to be restarted to install them. No Firefox icon, and any icons I deleted reappear, and it's deja vu all over again.
Please, any info on this?
