Re: Windows slow to load

Edit: I meant no Norton or McAfee products on the PC...

Hi

Nope, no Norton products installed (I'd never let my clients use NAV
anyway :-P)

Hey guys

I have a client's PC that's giving a strange problem. After the Windows
XP splash screen (the one with the little blue bar that goes from left
to right) has come up, the screen goes blank for probably 45-50
seconds, before you see the Welcome screen.

Also, once in Windows, doing certain things like switching between open
Excel spreadsheets and Word documents will cause the PC to lag somewhat
irritatingly.

The Event Viewer has nothing abnormal showing, and there's no
spyware\adware\viruses.

The PC's specs are: Celeron 2.0 GHz, 768 MB DDR400 RAM, ASRock GE Pro
M2 mobo, 40GB 5400RPM HDD
