logon script

I have a windows XP laptop that is having issues with the logon script.  I have a windows server 2003 DC where the logon scripts reside.  Every other PC runs fine, so far no issues with the logon scripts, besides this one particular one.  
When I run the logon script manually:  start -> run and type the path of my logon script location, and run the script, it works fine, so I'm thinking that it's an issue with timing, the logon script runs before another file needs to run or a service starts up.  

So is there a way to delay the logon script from running, at least by 5 or 10 seconds after the user logs on to windows XP?

Yes, wherever you want the pause, enter that command.
Afacts: You would enter in the command the line above the command that is failing, if you believe that there is some sort of timeout issue.

Thanks guys for your help, but actually that wasn't the problem.   After I looked at the script, I looked where it was crashing on, and for some reason, it didn't like the network drive mapped letter, so I just changed it from I to Z, and it started working just fine.  Somehow, the system was creating the I drive as a "disconnected network drive", and it was just cuasing problems.

Thanks again for the quick response.
