| hi there,
i'm running Windows XP pro, and when i login, it will take almost 30 seconds to change the login screen to the desktop screen, is there a way to speed things up... i have intel 2.8GHz, 512 RAM, 80GB harddrive. so it should be pretty fast.. but it is not, any suggestions???
thanks | |

I would verify all the service packs, security downloads have been installed. There was a security pack released by Microsoft a while back that caused slow logins, which Microsoft posted a fix for at a later date. Is this a local account you are using or a domain/active directory account? If a active directory account, I would check the DNS settings too.  | |

| Netbios also slows it down waiting for broadcasts to fail. | |

| How big is the profile, do you have any large files stored on the desktop, where are your Temp ineternet files stored, that can get pretty big. |
