I recently formatted and reinstalled XP on my old studio machine. I did this mainly for this purpose, but it was long overdue anyway, so I assumed that would be it. I think it's a driver issue, but have no clue at this point. I don't use the welcome screen, so rather quickly, my name comes up. I have no password set up yet, so I click ok, the desktop appears in like 2 or 3 seconds with takbar and icons. Of course, tray stuff is loading. I can access the start menu, although starting all but the smallest program is slow. I have My Computer dragged to the right for a toolbar. I have to wait for 4 to 5 minutes for the My Computer toolbar to appear, or to be able to activate an icon. Also, after it activates, clicking My Computer will result in a window with the little flashlight for a minute or so, but if I click a link to a drive in the toolbar, the drive opens almost instantly. I uninstalled the super slow ZoneAlarm I was using thinking it was the culprit. Right now, the only program I have that is major at start is AVG, but I think it really is a configuration or driver issue.
