slow loading of items in the system tray!

Greetings to all ...


I have an older Dell PC P4 running at 1.7 Ghz loaded with WIN XP SP2,
60 GIG H-D and just upgraded to 1 Giga-Byte of RAM...

For about the past 6 months I have noticed the items in the system
tray are taking up to 2 to 3 minutes to completly load in the system
tray. I've noticed on other systems at work with the same type of PC
this seems to a much faster process (about 30-60 seconds)
compared to my Dell PC here at home....

The PC appears to be clean of any viruses using McaFee.

The items that are loading in the system tray are:

The Speaker Icon, Zone Alarms v6.5.737, McAfee Anti-Virus , HotSync,
TaskInfo v 6.2.3.190 and Windows Task Manager.

I've check the startup items in MSConfig and could not find anything I
could remove from the start-up tab.


Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
