I am using Windows XP, on a HP Pavilion laptop. Until two days ago, it was
working beautifully.
But now, tragedy. When I turn on my computer, I see the Windows welcome
screen as normal, then my desktop as programs begin to launch. However, only
after 2 minutes does the microsoft jingle play, as the wireless, LAN, and
norton antivirus icons appear in the taskbar. Until then, I cannot launch any
programs.
Until two days ago, my computer took 30sec to start, the jingle played
during the welcome screen, and all taskbar icons launched simultaneously.
I have not installed any new programs since then. I have tried clearing the
launch programs on msconfig.exe, using three different spyware programs, and
running a virus sweep, to no effect. I had this problem a month ago already -
it disappeared after I installed and ran spyware.
Thanks for your help.
