Start Menu Slow
See if any of the following applies:
Do you have a broadband connection, if yes, try the following courtesy of MVP Terri Stratton: NIC AND SLOW LOADING DESKTOP - If you're running a DSL modem and have a LAN or high speed connection, try changing the properties of it. Go to start connect to show all connectionsright click on Local Area connectionscroll down and click on Properties. Highlight "Internet protocol (TCP/IP)" Click on properties buttonclick on the "use the following IP address" radio button. Add the following. IP address:192.168.0.1 (or any in the accepted range) Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0 Some connections won't allow this, so if you can't get a connection, remove it. If the above doesn't apply but you are on a network, go to Start\All Programs\Accessories and the Command Prompt. At the prompt type "ipconfig" without the quotes and press enter. Make note of the numbers. Go to Start\Connect To, select "Show all connections" and select Local Area Connection. Right click and select properties. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click properties, select "Use the following IP address" and input the appropriate numbers you found earlier. When you exit that box, the Subnet Mask numbers should input automatically. Reboot and see if that resolves the issue. -- Michael Solomon MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Backup is a PC User's Best Friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ "tegger" wrote in message ...
