Apply computer settings...

[babel]

I'm running XP, logging into a domain.
After I type my password it comes up with "Apply computer
settings..." for 10 minutes before it carries on and gives
me my login script and desktop.

Removing my PC from the domain, then adding it back = same
10min wait.
Logging on as a different user = same 10min wait.
Logging on locally = no wait.
Logging on as me on a different xp pc = no wait.

Any ideas of what's going on or what else I can try.
I'd rather not have to reload...

This sounds like KB article 329457. I have the same
problem, but I can't see how to download the hotfix from
microsoft. Anyone know where we can get it?

Make sure the XP box is configured to point to the DNS server that contains
the domain SRV records and not an ISP DNS server.

DNS settings are supplied by DHCP... I checked them
against another XP PC I can log into ok and they're
exactly the same.

Thanks for the suggestion.
