You may have unwanted programs and/or processes running at Windows
startup. Do the usual Windows troubleshooting:
1) scan with current antivirus ("current" means a version not earlier
than 2002 but using updated virus definitions); 2) remove spyware with
Spybot Search & Destroy (
www.security.kolla.de) and Ad-aware
(
www.lavasoftusa.com). Be sure to update these programs before running,
and it is a good idea to do virus/spyware scans in Safe Mode; 3) delete
temporary and Temporary Internet Files; 4) stop unnecessary services
programs from starting with Windows - see
www.blackviper.com for
services info and
www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm for programs
info - 5) look in Event Viewer for clues.
