I'm trying to fix a problem on a new (about 6 weeks old) gateway computer
running vista home. When I first start up the computer nothing works. Well,
I should say nothing but explorer (both internet and Windows). After 30
minutes to an hour, I am finally able to start running programs. Before
that, anything I try to run gets to a splash screen and then freezes. I
think I've narrowed the problem down to McAfee Security Center as that is the
last thing that finally loads before stuff starts working. I'd rather not
uninstall it yet (as this isn't my computer...I'm helping a friend), but was
wondering if anybody else here had seen a problem like this and knew of a
solution. To the best of my knowledge the computer is fully updated.
Thanks for any help.
