Hello,
I have noticed recently for some reason that my computer is taking a long
while fully load up. It loads to the windows desktop quick;y, but after it
gets to the desktop, it sits about 10-15 seconds in a delay before all my
starting programs load up (I am running Norton 2004 and Zone alarm pro 5) I
am wondering if it is Norton somehow hanging my system like this (it never
did before) If you try to do anything before norton or zonealarm loads the
computer just freezes. After the 10-15 second delay, the norton icon pops up
in the taskbar, then the zonealarm icon. Does anyone have any suggestions on
how I can fix this? Is Norton causing the problem??

Thanks for all help!
Dan
