After booting and XP loading, computer performs
normally, including small local network,until access to the internet
is attempted then it will hang for about 5 min with everything
froze except mouse arrow. After the 5 min it starts to work normally
again. The other two computers on the network are not affected.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You could use System Restore to return the machine to a point
a few days before this problem started.
 
The problem with System Restore is that several changes
and updates have been made and I don't wish to wipe them
out plus if it's a hardware problem or corrupted file, System
Restore wouldn't fix it anyway.

The changes and updates you made may be responsible for
the slowness you see. Returning to a safe and stable base is
probably your quickest course of action.

If you suspect a hardware problem then you should ask your
question in a hardware group.
 
I don't have a slowness problem. Perhaps you should transfer to a reading
group.
You obviously don't know anything about System Restore and it's short
comings.
 
Hello

In this case according to me there is some kind of program which is trying
to load up when ur computer starts and this program is responsible for the
problem.
Follow the follwing steps:

1. Click on start-->run-->type in " prefetch " and press enter.

2. Click on edit on top left hand side of the prefetch windows and click on
selct all. Delete all the files in this windows. Dont worry you wont loose
anything from computer . these files are actually making the computer slow.

3. Click on start-->run-->type in "%temp%" and press enter and delete as
many files you can from this windows. You may not be able to delete all the
files because some files are not allowed to delete by windows.

4. Click on start-->run-->type in " cleanmgr " and press enter. select c
drive and try to scan the computer. In the last again click on ok....it will
delete all unnecessary junk files from the computer.

5. Download this software from this link:
http://www.filehippo.com/download/f...2b7fb22cff33ffd6e7d953336960bb66b5876ee49c34/ ; .

6. In this software click on--> analyse ur computer and then click on run
cleaner. it will remove all the junk hidden files and im sure computer should
become little fast.

7. after doing all these steps: we will do the clean boot step:

8. click on start-->run-->msconfig and press enter

9. Select startup tab on the top right and then click on disable all on the
bottom click on apply and restart the computer. when ur computer restarts
click on check box message which will come up and click ok. ur computer
should be fast.

cheers..!!

Pegasus was obviously referring to the length of time it takes for your
PC to get to the point where it is "working normally." Furthermore, in
the event your problem *is* hardware-related (I'm not sure that's your
situation, but anything's possible), it is true you will receive more
helpful advice in a hardware newsgroup. There is no need to be rude to
someone who is offering help.

What harm can possibly be done by using System Restore? You do know you
can always undo it, right?

You obviously don't know anything about the numerous
reasons that could cause your system to hang for five
minutes and how difficult it can be to home in on the
culprit. System Restore may be a crude tool but it is a
very powerful one too that frequently saves people from
having to rebuild their machine. It may be your best choice,
no matter how much you scoff at it and the respondents
who suggest it.
