Hi all.  At the in-laws and their laptop is playing up.  It's about a year old with Vista.  When they turn it on, after about 5 minutes a message pops up saying 'No boot filename received.'  Then the computer goes on it's merry way to starting up.  How do I go about sorting this so they don't have to wait the time it takes to cook a fry up while their computer boots?  Many thanks in advance from all of us.

Hi Dawn,

The machine is trying to boot to a network device.

Get in to the setup (del key, F2 etc)

Change the boot order to make sure the hard disk is the first option on the list.
