Default PC takes hour to load

Check your modem software against the list in this link. It can happen,
more often than one would expect, that the software CD coming with
hardware is already out of date when you make your purchase.

" I looked at device manager and there was a question mark beside other
devices, and when i clicked on this I read that 'the drivers for this
device are not installed'"

Please provide more details.

What are your your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements?

How much RAM memory do you have? What is your CPU processor speed?

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

How large is your hard disk and how much free space.

Hope this helps.

(This is part of a reply I made to you on 31 October.

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No
Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear
in--
The first two Reports occured after the last two and I would thinked
are
paired in that they relate to the same problem. They could go away if
you can resolve the other two.

Of the remaining two this one is probably the more important:
"Faulting application zyxel g-202.exe, version 2.0.2.1, faulting
module

zyxel g-202.exe, version 2.0.2.1, fault address 0x000606d4."

It would seem that you have a Zyxel modem or router and the related
software is not working as it should. How and when did you acquire
this

item? What is the model number? You may need to get an updated driver
from the Zyxel site or update the software.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

The OffProv12 warning relates either to a problem with Office 2007
or a

beta version of Office 2007. Which do you have installed?

Hello Gerry
Thanks for your post.

Zyxel - G-202 wireless modem - I connect to the internet on the pc
using a USB adapter.
It has been working fine since we got it, approx 2 months ago, and it
also works well on another lapt top we use. I did get online today,it
connects fine, and it seems that the process of actually opening up
IE takes an age.

We purchased wireless modem and usb from our service provider.
I looked at device manager and there was a question mark beside other
devices, and when i clicked on this I read that 'the drivers for this
device are not installed'

but I did locate the Zyxel wireless usb adapter under network
adapters, and when i looked at this it showed 'this device is
working properly' Driver details
C:\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\WlanUZXP.sys

I have office 2007 (not the beta version) which i got from a computer
outlet, it is installed on 2 other computers in the house and works
just fine.
It does work on the PC, I opened it today, but it takes an age to
open.

I looked in the event log for today and was surprised to see only a
few errors and warnings

Description:
The computer browser service terminated with the following error:
This operation returned because the time out period expired.

The computer only took about 30 mins to boot up today, and its just
so slow to load the desktop icons etc, and when i click on programs I
sometimes get the torch while the pc tries to locate the program, it
seems once the programs are open they seem to work a little faster.
But a lot of the time when i try to close a program i get the
message on top of page thats its stopped responding.

I did not get the chance to download Hive cleanup today, but will do
tomorrow.

Thank you once again for all your help and time so far, I am very
very grateful.
