I have upgraded my HDD in my XP Home w/SP3 Dell PC and now my 2nd "Limited" ID gets the following message... Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. Check that you are connected to the network, or that your network is functioning correctly. If this problem persists...

Hello, the time change last weekend screwed up 3 of my PCs I had running. My XPsp2 machine had it DST update automaticly. I found DST fixes for my 2K Pro sp4 and 98se machines on the internet and applied them. I was working on my XP machine and the time changed fine, ALTHOUGH, I noticed the time...

I have Norton SystemWorks 2005 on my Windows XP SP2 PC. When I do an Analyze on any drive, it seems to stop at about 99% and it could take anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes to finish the analyze and show me the results. I ran the task manager and looked at CPU and for non-responsive apps. The duel...

This problem is definately fixed! Thank again to all who helped.

Hi, I tried installing another ISP software- maybe it is not different -Juno. Using Juno did not clear up the hanging problem. I re-applied SP2 and some updates that I had but that did not seem to clear up the problem either. I was planning to reinstall or do a fix on my XP OS. I have a restore...

I have run "sfc" and it did not find any bad files. I am running NetZero 8.NH4. I don't know what version I had when this problem started happening. I have Windows XP Home 2002 version - service pack 2 was pre installed. I wonder if I can fix it with my restore CD and reapply all the updates. I...

Reloading Netzero did not relieve the problem. I will investigate the suggestions from past few responses. Thank you cdogg and linney.

I have tried disabling or shutting down 3rd party apps but could not find the problem program. I just logged in with my task manager open. My Netzero program uses 22024K. NZ is supposed to launch IE. It finally did after 5 minutes 45 seconds. All during the 5:45 freeze, CPU showed between 0%...

I just got in today after about 3 or 4 minutes. I saw the same 2 DCOM timeout messages in the event viewer. I don't think my anti-virus program is the problem. Even if they are memory hogs....now that i'm freed up, i'm using about 330MB memory out of my 512MB and I have a 768MB page file. What...

Hi, I was having this problem before I had Norton AntiVirus. I had Macafee Virusscan before that. My event viewer is showing... The server {5A63D47D-1BA2-48FF-9955-31207899BE01} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. and.... The server {CDECC4C3-7377-11D3-9A6C-00C04FF40D52} did...

This is a problem that is intermittent and never really went away. See thread: thread779-1082303 My Dell 8400 still hangs many a time when I get on the internet. Tonight I got freed up after about 4 minutes. In my former post, I forgot to mention that while any icon on my desktop is...

Hi, I do have the check in the box for "automatically adjust clock for daylight savings". I am not sure when my problem occurred but I am almost certain it happened before 10/30 when the clock change occurred. I am going to try an experiment setting the date back before 10/30 to see if anything...

Hi, people may not pay attention to file timestamp values, but when you deal with older software as I do, many file timestamps are predictable. My Windows XP Home PC has had seemingly all of it's files timestamps changed to one hour earlier. I have a folder with MS-DOS 6.22 in it and the files...

I might be speaking too soon again, but I will anyway. I am on my 2nd logon to the internet with no delays since I did the following... I pulled up the DCOM configuration snap-in and proceeded to drill down to the area to enable Distributed COM. I proceded a little differently though, and I...
