Hi, I'm having a problem with XP Pro SP2.
It is a computer connected to a SBS2003 domain and all of a sudden, logging
on and applying personal settings is taking FOREVER.
I put it down to an oversized profile originally, but even trying to log on
as Administrator on the LOCAL computer with no network attached is taking
forever too... and not even getting past a blank screen with simply the
mouse pointer.
Last time I had this problem(on another identical machine), I had to do a
complete re-install. I'd like to avoid this.
I've done a chkdsk from a boot disk, and all seems fine.
On the last one, even a defrag didn't fix it.
Any ideas?
I thought I could perhaps Ghost the disk to another and see if that works,
but my copy of ghost v12 doesn't allow this feature as it needs to be
installed before a clone can be made... and I can't even get to a workable
state.
Thanks in advance.
