So, Ever since you have had your laptop configured, Have you noticed long load times? Well, Currently it takes 1:14 JUST for the 'Please Wait' Message to go a way. (Not including other times , eg. BIOS loading etc, JUST the Please Wait message.) Well, With James' Temporary Fix, It takes the 'Please Wait' Message down to around 10 seconds!
What Am I Waiting for during the 'Please Wait' Message?
Well, Your waiting for your laptop to find the wgpcollege network and make sure its group policies are up-to-date. It takes so long because Windows Vista's network time out time, Is too long.
How Can I Shorten The Time?
Well, IF your laptop has a button to disable the built in Wi-Fi card, Its simple, Just turn the card off. This brings the time down to a more reasonable time, 10 seconds, Still not perfect, But a LOT better.
I'm not sure IF the school's recommended laptop, the HP 6730b Actually HAS a hard switch to do this, This is why I don't get laptops that don't meet the recommended system requirements for software we are meant to run at school.
