Loading Personal Settings takes forever Please help

[Alexey Semenov]

Hi everyone.

When i reboot my computer it get's fast to kog in screen but as soon as
Loading personal settings bar comes up it just sits there for a minute or
two. At the firts 30 seconds drivers are loading and i hear my sacanner
doing self test and printer kiks in. Then it's just processor silence and
nothing ahppens for another 1minute 30 seconds. If anyone knows how to solve
this issue i wouold gladly appreciate it.

I run win xp pro

In start up i have only 4 programs starting up

norton
lexmark tools
memory card manager
and
nvidia manager

all the rest of the junk is disabled. i try to keep start up clean.


Regards

Alexey

Are you sure you need lexmark tools, memory card manager and nvidia manager

Many of us here where I work experience the same problem. We are running up to date and virus free Windows 2000 and Windows XP pro. Our computers are on a lan with internet access. The W2000 computer on my desk (1.5 Ghz, 512 Mb memory) works reasonably, but if I logon to another computer on the network (using my same login group and name) it takes about 5 minutes for it to "load my personal settings", whatever that means. I might expect it to be slow the first time it does this (loads my settings accross the network) but it take five minutes every time I log onto that machine. A 30 second delay is unacceptable, 1.5 to five minutes is rediculous.
