Slow startup of some programs after boot
Posted on 2004-08-13
Hi,
after I boot my Win 2k machine and the desktop loads, some programs wait about two minutes before they even start to load...
for example: I boot a machine, log in and wait for a desktop/taskbar to load... Then I can start Explorer and it starts right away, but if I want to start Outlook for example and click on its shortcut, nothing happens... process starts, but nothing happens... Its same with MSN messenger and some other programs...
If I go to start -> settings -> network and dialup connections it freezes... then after two minutes or something like that, all those programs that I launched before start loading...
So basically I cannot do anything useful during this period... When I see a MSN messenger icon in tray it means that it's okay now and after that it works normally...
It looks like a timeout or something to me but I can't figure it out nor I have time to do so... Any suggestions?
I hope anyone understood me :)
