taskbar lags on startup

[MrSir110]

hey, im new to this site, looks good.

the problem is when i startup windows, my taskbar lags and i can't do anything. I can click on the icons and everything, but if i move my cursor over the taskbar it will have the loading sign. It does that far about 3 minutes, and then everything goes back to normal.

This only happened about 2 weeks ago, and during the 3 minutes, i have my task manager up, and watching my process for any strange, high memory usage. Usually the programs are about 30kbs and below, but if i go to performance, the cpu usage would shoot up all the way then go down.

If any one can help me fix this 3 minute thing, i'd appreciate it.

Welcome to PCReview!
Sounds like a timeout problem.
Could be profile specific - have you tried logging on as another user?
It could also be machine (OS) specific.

Have a look in your Windows Event Logs for clues as to what is occurring.
Export and post here if you need assistance.

Cheers

lol, I don't really know. I did some uninstalling and some reinstalling, and i basically uninstalled my Mcafee Virus Scanner Pro and installed a Mcafee Virus Enterpraise.

Anyways

Thanks for the help.
