System hangs after connecting to dial-up ISP
I installed SP2 yesterday. Now, for about 5 minutes after I connect to my
ISP (I am on dail-up), I cannot start any programs. My post SP2 critical updates are up to date. If I open the browser before I connect to the ISP, I am able to surf. After whatever it finishes running in the background, the list of programs I've been trying to open will all start running. I have run Ad-Aware and Spybot to ensure that nothing untowards is going on in the background. How can I pinpoint what is going on (what service is running) and get rid of it if it's not needed? |

I have almost the same problem with my Win XP Pro, except my ISP is a broadband provider and the connection is with PPPoE. it seems this is not a very unusual Windows XP bug. I wonder why Microsoft seems unaware of it, or choses to do nothing about it. |
