I'm having the same problem with a Dell Latitude C640. Maicon. "webermis" wrote: Try checking "Services" to make certain that "Universal Plug and Play Device Host" is set for automatic. This setting fixed on of my computers with the same problem. webermis "Osho GG" wrote in message om... Hi, I just updated DELL Inspiron 600m notebook computer with XP SP1 installed to SP2 using the SP2 RTM .EXE. I am having many weird problems with the SP2. The most annoying of them is very long and very slow login. XP SP2 boots up quickly and I get the login window just fine. When I click on my name and tried to login, the background changes and I hear the windows start-up music but then the machine seems to just freeze. There is hard disk activity so it is doing something but that also stops after a minute or two. After about 10 minutes or so, the machine finally logs in and I get the Windows desktop as expected. After logging in, everything seems quick and fast. There are no other problems. I can access the internet. I can use the printer. Everything is working normally. Except for one problem. In the Control Panel - Network connections, all my network connections are missing. I expect to see Local Area Connection , Local Area Connection 2 etc. there but I don't see anything there. I also do not see the little network icon that appear in the system tray when there is a network connection. Internet explorer, yahoo messenger etc. network applications are working fine though. The delay I get at the very beginning seems to be similar to some other login problem I had with another Windows 2000 machine in the past. At that time, the problem was that the windows would sit idly for a long time at "Preparing network connections..." message. This seems to suggest that these two problems may be similar. However, I can't find out a solution to this problem online. thanks, Osho |
