Hey Everybody!
I just recently re-installed Windows XP Pro for about the 4th time in the last month. And it is annoying me to no end... Whenever I install Windows and it is running fine for a short while...I install some apps...Media Player, a game or two, Quicktime, ZoneAlarm, a few video codecs, studio mx, winzip, office and a few other things such as drivers, SP1 and such.
My problem, however, is whenever I start up windows, I can log on, then the taskbar and my icons show up and then it just stops for about 30 seconds...I can't do anything. I open My Computer...and it shows the little flashlight, I open IE and it can't find anything, I right click on My Computer and nothing happens until the computer continues responding again.
I just replaced my motherboard so i am quite certain that that is not the problem. could it be software? can anybody help? this has happened 5 times consequetively and like I said, it is making me nuts.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
