HP All-in-one install, loading desktop veery sloww

[needlove]

After a reboot from installing my HP PSC 2355 All-in-one Startup appears to
freeze on the welcome menu then eventually my empty desktop appears. After
several minutes the icons and taskbar load. I know enough now that the
installation process turns on the Windows Image Aquisition service and to
fix this problem I have to manually disable the service. Why does this
happen? Is it a HP software glitch or a Windows XP problem?

The test...

Uninstall the software - does the problem still occur?
Or..
Did it occur before installing the software and not before?

If no to the first or no to the second - then you have your answer.

Check the HP web page for updated drivers.
