Hi,

For about a month, I've been having difficulty loading Windows; that
is when I start a new session, it starts loading, however it stops
right before the welcome sound plays. It hangs for about a minute,
with no obvious activity on the hard drive, then the welcome sound
plays and it finishes loading. I can move the pointer, and bubbles
open when I point at an icon, but I can't start any program nor open
any documents until Windows finishes loading.

I'm not having any other problem, everything is fine. And I don't
recall having installed any program when the problem started. I
checked for viruses, there's nothing. I just installed Ad-aware, and
I'm going to do a scan, however I doubt it's going to do anything; I
haven't seen any signs of browser hijacking or anything like that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Rich, but I have none of that. Just had a check with Ad-aware,
and I already checked for viruses.

BTW, I'm going away for 2 weeks, so keep answering, and I'll check
that when I get back.
