buzzmag Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 No problem getting to my desktop after bootup but clicking on a desktop or quick launch bar icon could take 60 to 90 seconds before anything will run. Anyone know what could cause this and a fix. I have only the bare essentials in "Startup". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinLerner Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Usually the problem is a service (or even a driver). When certain types of services attempt to load and run but can't you can experience 'virtual lockup'. Some services can't load until others finish and that is why the wait occurs. Check the system event log for errors. Then come back and re-post with the errors your services are experiencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzmag Posted February 6, 2002 Author Share Posted February 6, 2002 Most errors reported are to the Service Control Manager. Only a few for DCOM. Hope this is what you requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzmag Posted February 8, 2002 Author Share Posted February 8, 2002 I'm not running a network. Does the XP install program include networking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icie Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 well, do you have broadband? cable and some adsl have problems like that...the network card gets a new IP address everytime it starts up, thus the slow down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vu059 Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 When my computer restart or startup, it usually just stop respond to any command made to the taskbar or start menu u can run program..access computer and stuff but can not touch the taskbar or startmenu....when i check the taskmanager all of the services have no USERNAME under it where it would usually b System or a username for the services ran. After about 60sec everything would get a username again. well I am an Earthlink DSl customer (pppoe through windowsxp) and i think this is the problem...i tried disabling or enabling DHCP service and it still doesn't help. and one more thing the WEBCLIENt service keep trying to run and then stop itself...the entire time windows ran in the services controlpanel it would say STOPPING for WEbclient Anybody have any insight on how to fix this??

buzzmag Posted February 8, 2002 Author Share Posted February 8, 2002 This reply is to icie. That was it. I added an IP address and Subnet mask to the TCP/IP protocol for my NIC. No more delay at startup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icie Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 well, buzzmag...you are pretty lucky then...cos I have 2 NICs (one for Cable, the other for home network), and when I put in a fixed IP address in the NIC for Cable, my cable modem dies. Of course, my NIC for Home network is fixed IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y/C Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Well, I had the same problem in my previous installation of XP... I did some kind of a research and found that something went wrong with the services... The problem was that I couldn't "get answer" from the start menu, nor did I have the opportunity to check the system properties for 60 - 90 secs, too. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to check the control panel through windows explorer, and when I switched over to services, I saw that a service called "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" was turned to automatic and was closing at that time... So, I switched it to manual startup type and kept it closed... After then, I had no problems... I hope, I helped you... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhymerguy Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Icie, Wouldn't it be easier to buy a dsl/cable router, discard one of the NICs, and let the cable router handle your IP from your cable modem, while it doles out IP configs (DHCP if you prefer) to your networked PC's? The linksys BEFSR41 4 port DSL/Cable router runs around $80 online at some places. Been using mine for close to a 16 months now in conjunction with DSL service. I have 4 machines networked though it and it does a fine job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
