206602 2004-01-11 01:40:00 Hi Guys

I run Windows XP Pro on my home pc. I have a problem, that seems to affect only my profile. Whenever I start an app that connects to the net (IE, Outlook, KazaaLite, CStrike etc) the app freezes for two or three minutes, then it runs fine. Once I have IE running, I can open another browser window with no problems.

The other users on this PC have no problem, and I have another PC running Win98 sharing the same internet connection, with no problems there either.

Help......

206603 2004-01-11 04:21:00 There are some very helpful gals on this forum also......maybe, " Hi guys and gals " would have been more mannerly.
Anyway,check what else is loading at the same time, I think it`s ....Ctrl>Alt>Delete....but I will stand being corrected on that.

Cheers A.

Perhaps, but I generally take it these days that "Hi guys" means everyone.

Thank Albatross... I will bear that in mind for the future
No offense intended....

I checked for anything loading at the same time... nothing.
There is nothing odd loading with my profile, and no other user on this machine is affected.

When I start IE, the window opens, and the status bar shows "Start downloading from...", and then hangs for a few minutes. While it's hanging, there in no network activity, no hard drive or CPU activity. This is pretty much the same for any application, as soon as it trys to access the internet, it hangs. The only exception I have found is Outlook Express.
