One

time.

to

| less than a minute from the time I turned the PC on. And all these were on
a
| five-year-old Athlon 1 Ghz (yeah, it's so old that's before they even came
| out with the 2000+ kind of rating) and slow RAM.
|
| I now have an Athlon 64 2800+ with new PC3200 DDR2 RAM (same 512 MB). It
| takes about two and half minutes to get to the logon screen. After I
logon, I
| could move the mouse around but it took a good 1 minute and half before I
can
| launch any application. This is really bizzar. Once logon completes, it
seems
| pretty fast. I just wonder what is going on.
|
| Thanks a lot.

One issue that WILL cause this kind of slowdown is network mapped drives to
network shares that can no longer be reached. What happens in this case is
XP keeps trying to connect to the unreachable drive share. Each time you
open Explorer, "file open" options, etc., XP will try searching for the
drive share again. This will even affect boot times and shutdowns.

If you have any drive shares that you don't use, simply right click on them
from the Windows Explorer and select "disconnect" or "delete". Your
performance should return.
