Guys,
I’ve got a realy problem with a few laptops that seem to be taking on abpout 20 minutes to login.
The machines are brand new XP SP2 and have had company software installed.
They are on a domain, and seem to work correctly when I installed the programs.
Now about a week later, I am getting problems with them.
One of them takes 20 minutes to load. It goes to the login screen OK but when a username and password are input, it takes 20 minutes to login in. Its stays on ‘checking network connections’ and ‘ applying security settings’ for a while.
Another of the laptops takes about 20 minutes to log in when it ISN’T connected to the network. Exactly the same setup.
The only way I can “fix” this problem up is to re-install everything including OS. This again is temporary as the problem develops again in about a week later.
Another takes a very long time to shutdown ?!?
The problems seem similar.
help required,
thanks.
