By the way, I'm back on my PC in England now <3

If following Microsoft's instructions was 'noobish', then yes.
It happens whenever I load from Hibernation, or when I have something plugged into a USB port when I turn on my laptop. I had some problems with 7 before, and uninstalled it and reverted the partition. (The UAC was spazzing out on me, I got it again thinking it would be fixed by now) When I booted back into Vista, it was faster than ever... o.O And now it's slow again.
It's not exactly 15 minutes (it's more 10 minutes, but I don't really keep track, I'll time it next time).
Specs:
3GB of RAM (Not completely sure what kind)
Intel Pentium 2 CPU, Dual Core @ 1.73 GHz each (2 cores, 2 logical processors)
OS- Windows 7 Build 7100, Vista Build (?)
HDD- Class B SATA, 250GB (66.8GB to 7, 155GB to Vista)
I don't think it has anything to do with the actual laptop, so, as Helios said, it is probably having problems reloading everything. I don't know why, though.

Hm. The RAM should be enough. The CPU is a little slow but two cores should make up for that. I'm assuming it's 32-bit (x86).
I'd love to be able to say "That's just windows for you" but as I still use windows for programming (I cba to do it on Linux, I just use that for everything else :P) I can't.
It could be a memory or a hard drive issue, although I doubt it. I'm not sure, but I think windows writes everything to the hard disk before hibernation.
Also if it is hybernation then it won't be POST. Anyway that would probably indicate a BIOS issue, meaning you would need a reflash.
I'm not sure what the problem is :l
If you're going to ask anywhere, don't ask Yahoo Answers. I had a friend who asked something on there, apparently the answers were shit.
LOL Here's a good example of why never to use yahoo answers:

"Careful, If what is saying this is Microsoft police, or something similar, DO NOT answer it. It will kill your harddrive"

You have to realize that a portion of YA posters are trolls, another portion are sincere stupids, and the small rest are not stupids that however don't realize they shouldn't be posting in YA.
I think your quotee is a troll. This one, however, is an sincere stupid:

| why didn't you the people who made your people that made your computer maybe they could help you fix your computer |
Helios are you drunk? Your post made almost no sense.
"the small rest are not stupids[...]".
Well, I understood it, but the grammar was just... weird. What on earth is "a sincere stupid"?

I'm using "stupid" as a noun meaning "a stupid person", therefore, "a sincere stupid" is "a stupid person who speaks believing what he says is true". It's the the polar opposite of a troll, which is a non-stupid person that knowingly gives wrong information.
If it's a HDD issue, maybe I should defragment it... although that probably won't do anything. The spindle speed on my hard drive is 7200 RPM (I think..), so file loading speeds shouldn't be a problem.
And I post on Yahoo! Answers, but only when I'm bored and have nothing else to do.

This is the weirdest thread I've ever seen on C++.com: discussing about operating systems, image editors, NGen's computer, stupid people... but not about the original subject
Trolls can be stupid.
Anyway; yeah. We've pretty much taken this thread through it's paces. I was the only person who posted something related (except for the OP)...

I was going to say something about that, but decided not to since I couldn't find a way to fit that into my post. (As in, it would sound weird)
Hmm... After reading this entire topic, I've got but one thing to describe this topic.
If you recognize the name, or look at the picture... You should get what I mean :)

was some huge deal, the train broke off the tracks and slammed through the wall. in other words : the train was derailed, much like this conversation :) are we gonna talk about trains now? lol
Good thing this is the lounge... conversations in real life tend to end up like this as well.
that picture was a big screw up on the part of the french, i dont trust them with trains anymore. lol :P
