Re: Windows XP Laptop

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Just curious if you found anything out here. Same thing happend to me
this morning. A single XP laptop taking about 2 minutes to log onto
the 2k domain. I'm going down the route of what updates might have
happened to it yesterday. I know NAV was updated yesterday but I
havn't been able to find anything out about it. This laptop also has
Sony Vio live update on it. Do we have NAV or Sony Vio in common?
