Problem with Adv. Dock.

#1 Post by Bigdaddychud » Wed Feb 23, 2011 10:55 pm

When I reboot my computer it can take between 6 and 8 minutes to fully reboot with the majority of the time on the main IBM splash screen. This happened with Win XP and now with Win 7 but it only happens when docked. Are there drivers or firmware I need or does the dock just need to be replaced?

Is your TP looking for Network drives?
If so, you need to UNmap them before you switch off.

External devices - MS Wireless keyboard and Mouse, cell phone charging cord and Logitech web cam. Will try removing the webcam, move the key/mouse USB on the Thinkpad. No network drives mapped at all.

Thanks

Network drives won't affect boot-up until you've logged in to Windows.

I've had a similar issue to yourself and it's always when my Ipod is connected via USB, so I'd imagine it's a USB issue with yours too.
