have bought a DELL Latitude notebook 6 months ago with
Windows XP Professional pre-installed. For the past 2
months, I have been facing the following problem with the
operating system:
1) When starting Windows in the office profile and after I
enter my user id and password, Windows does not show any
icon or start anything for 2-3 minutes. After that I can
work ok.
2)When working at home (different profile from before) and
after I enter my user id and password, I get the icons and
the desktop immediately but if I start Windows Explorer or
MS Outlook, it takes 2-3 minutes for any program to
start. During this time the processor utilization (in
task manager) is normal.
3)Overall, the computer has become very slow. It is a P4
Mobile 1.7MHz with 256MB RAM.
I tried to check the startup programs and delete any
unnecessary programs upon startup but that did not help in
anything. I also did a disk defrag and deleted all cookies
and temporary internet files. Nothing helped so far.
This is becoming very annoying for me. Can you please
advise any solutions to these problems?
