Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a computer that's running XP SP3 and for no reason started to be really slow ( from 5 to 10 min ) at running starup script in the boot procedure. That occurs only when the laptop is off the network.<br />
<br />
We do have a couple of scripts running via GPO.<br />
<br />
Any Ideas ?
