-   I have the same problem on an old Gateway... it does the black screen and cursor so I got angry and left it there and after awhile (must have been an hour or 2) it got to the main screen but it takes 20 minutes to do one small task like open the internet or even to click on my windows XP icon to get to my settings.

I am in college, this would be my second computer (my current laptop is too cumbersome to carry), so it just needs to do Internet, MS Word, and MS Powerpoint, maybe movies when I travel and sometimes iTunes. (I will be buying MS Office and an external cd/dvd drive.)
Would you buy an HP Mini 311 with WIN 7 or Toshiba Satellite T115?

Re: VGN-SZ260P/C
My laptop stopped responding. I re-booted by pressing the reset key. My computer will not come back up.
I have a black @ white screen which gives me 5 option to start. I have tried all of these. I get the Windows screen, a brief blue screen & the Vaio screen - then back to the black & white screen.
Help! This is my work computer.
