I have the following weird, infrequent behaviour running WindowsXP SP1
on a Compaq Presario 2105 Notebook computer:

sometimes, when coming out of hibernation the machine brings me directly
to the Desktop, bypassing the "Welcome Screen". When this happens, and
if I try to connect to my ISP using a Dial-Up Networking icon I get a
very significant, sometimes 20 second delay before the connect screen
pops up. The same strange delay occurs if I try to load my email client
(Eudora).

Any ideas what this might be caused my would be appreciated.

there is hibernation and standby and suspend. it might
take time for things to come all the way up depending on
what state the machine is in. also on some machines they
do interesting and weird things that you cant do anything
about.
