Client has a Celeron 1.3 with 256 RAM. Lately boot up
lags as soon as there is a sceen.....Norton icon is slow
to come up in systray, and then while running the memory
charge keeps running up for no reason till computer slows
to nothing. There are no odd processes running and the
CPU is quiet at about 1% - 2%. Ran SpyBot, AdAware,
virus scan. It seems clean. I've seen this issue from
some newsgroups with no solution except some cheap shots
at Norton. Not sure I believe that.

Anyone seen and solved this without a rebuild?
 
Had the same problem on a friends laptop. Norton and
ZoneAlarm were fighting each other to load. Had to do a
complete uninstall and then reinstall of both programs
(check manufactures website for removal instructions). I
would uncheck startup entries one at a time to determine
which program or programs are having the conflict and go
from there. Good Luck.
 
Darrin,

I had the problem before I put Zone Alarm on there. I
just can't find a process that's making the problem so I
put ZA on because it detects things so well. On another
forum someone pointed to Norton as being likely to make
that sort of problem. Hmmmmm
