I am having the same problem. I used to be
able to log in quickly. Now it takes a full
60 seconds. I have already defraged the disk.
I have spy-bot search and distroy and have
gotten ride of the spy ware AND... I have disabled
all of the msconfig start up files. ALL of them. NOthing
seems to get me past the 60 second wait at login
time. The wait started about a month ago. Very
madening.
Any other suggestions?
Please write me.
