Hi all, I just bought a new Lenovo B560 that's freezing (within the first week) right before the log-in screen on the "Please Wait." I have Windows 7. I called Lenovo tech support, and they were no help. They said it's either a software problem with something I recently downloaded (Microsoft Suite, Zune, and Skype - all of which I need) or a problem with Windows 7, because it doesn't freeze in safe mode. I'm really hoping there is an easy fix to this. I can still return it to BBuy if need be until Thursday, but I get to pay a lovely restocking fee, and they're out of this computer now. Anybody have any suggestions? I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance! Ashley

Hi, As the issue disappear in Safe Mode which indicate it has nothing to do with hardware and certain drivers. We can really move on the troubleshoot on the software side. Let us prepare clean boot for further information.

I am setting up a B560 for a friend and had the same issue. I booted for the first time and uninstalled Mcafee and upon reboot had the problem. Try booting into safe mode and uninstalling the veri-face software. That worked for me. We didn't want to use the veriface anyway, so no loss for us. You might be able to reinstall it later or something, dunno.. Good Luck Matt-

Thx Matt I removeed the veri-face and that fixed my problem Maliksul2k4

Hello: I had the same problem. After careful thought, I uninstalled the useless LENOVO VERIFACE. Has not stopped at the PLEASE WAIT since. Good luck! Marcelo

I just got a Lenovo b560 and was having the same problem. I unistalled the VeriFace.... hasn't frozen since. Thanks.

Thanks so much for sharing this. I have a Lenovo V570 and have been having the same problem. I tried other solutions to no avail when I found this suggestion. While in safe-mode, I just uninstalled Veri-Face and the computer booted right away. Thank you!

Matt, thank you soooooooooooo much. I have been dealing with this problem for so long. Having to restore every time. This works for all Lenovo computers.

I had the same issue, after setting up the fingerprint scanner on my Lenovo laptop. I found this article, uninstalled veriface and got the same great results. The laptop now boots up fine. Thank you!

the problem is caused because of a program that comes pre installed ( i had this same issue). The program is VeriFace, which is un needed with are handy fingerprint scanner
