Desktop does not appear for at least 5 minutes
Well, I don't even know where to start but here I go.
Last Wednesday my system started taking forever to load the desktop. Basically, after selecting cancel on the logon popup screen, my system hesitates for about 5 minutes then loads the desktop. During this hang up I press ctrl+alt+del and see only three items that have loaded which are Explorer, Avgserv9 and hidserv. Then when the desktop load I review the list again and two more items appear acrotray and avgcc32. I have tried to run Ad- aware, spybot and AVG to ensure that I do not have any unexpected items on my system. Also, while I was in internet explorer I received a message that states "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down" and then my desktop disappeared again. I tried to repair Internet Explorer through the system.ini file and ran a Repair through the add/remove programs menu. This did not help. Any suggestions as to what this could be? Oh and the day before this started happening I loaded Ulead software for my new pencam, I tried unistalling the software, as well as, a system restore hoping this would fix the problem and this did not work. Thank you in advance for your help. |

Thank you. I performed a cleaning of my startup group,
this is the first thing I did. Unfortunately, it did not help. I did not try to rid any of these items through add/remove programs. I will post my hijack this file and maybe someone can make heads/tails out of it. Thanks again, Renee -----Original Message----- A possible first step is to clean up your Startup Group... First pick one of these to identify what loads at boot. Next, see whether there is an option in it's menus to disable it from starting up. If you really want to rid yourself of it on a more permanent basis, then look for it in "Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs". However, it isn't often easy to know what is what in there.

You are welcome. That is a good thought. If unsuccessful, get back to
this thread. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Renee" wrote in message ... | Thank you.
