i generally go though laptops quickly as get used a hell of a lot
i seem to rememeber this happening before hence im asking is it a sign of a fault to come
my dell laptop is 11 months old so still 1 month warrenty remaining
its basicly forgeting all login information all the time, several times a day i have to log in again on sites, enter postcode etc on ebay
gutted if its on its way out as ill then have to deal with the awfull pc world's mastercare, had a laptop repaired 5 times last year eventually got money back out of them via credit note so bought this one, i have to be honest its been a ace machine and id buy dell again
it works completely fine its far better than the others ive had fan harldy comes on and is nice and quiet, i just dont want it to fail in a couple months and end up having to buy a new one again
thanks

I got this with my 4 year old ratty HP, ran like a Dog, Google Redirect virus, hung, slowed down all the time, stuttered on youtube vids, installed Ubuntu Linux onto a new HD (£34 for 530 gb off Amazon) and now its great, like a new machine, apart fromt he missing M key, knackered hinges and flexy chassis but other than that its fine.

Not only that but I read that there is now projected a new danger to your knees from the battery heat while you are using a laptop! You can't knock H&S for their awareness to danger can you!

I'd say there is nothing wrong with your laptop, the issue is with the browser configuration. Either the browser cache is set very low or the browser is set to delete all cookies on exit. Increase the size of the browser cache or take off the option for deleting cookies and browsing history in internet options.

Also is it Windows7 64 bit or 32 bit? 32bit is more stable. For example, there is no native 64bit support for Flash player, so this 64bit windows has to convert this to 32 bit so you may experience more crashes with sites that use Flash player, ie Youtube.

Hi there download CCleaner http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner (with this clean registry,delete cache etc.),if is possible go to DELL website and download latest Firmware and after this will be fine.
If not download Malwarebytes( http://www.malwarebytes.org/ ) and check for unwanted malware etc.
