Hi guys,
Ever since I built my computer, it has suffered from an occasional LONG pause at startup. The desktop background image will show in Windows, the little logon screen will popup and disappear, and then I'll get an hourglass display and everything will freeze for more than a minute. This does not happen every time, and seems to correlate with nothing ... I've tried deleting all my temp files, but it does not change. Any ideas? I keep thinking it must be related to the networking ... I am connected directly to a DSL modem through an internal Ethernet card.
