Re: Desk top slow to load

It may be your network configuration. If your primary network connection is
not available when you start up your system will totally start up until the
primary network connection times out (about 1 minute) and the systme tries
another network connection. This situation is very common with users who
have added a router with DHCP to their homenetwork and their PC is still
trying to logon directly to their network modem or dial up which is no
longer connected.

I am working on an HP WinXP Media Center. 512ram, less than half the hard
drive used. Ran 2 defrags and a disk scan. Ran Norton's antivirus and
Windows defender.
Shut off every thing I could in config sys. and the registry. Made sure
that nothing was in the start up folder.
Still from when the desk top starts to load and then finally loads is over
a minute. during that period of time there are two dead areas one of 15
seconds and another of 10 sec. that there is no activity.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
