details: AMD Athlon, 2GB ram, 25GB free hdd space, Asus mobo, XP pro. MSN explorer started and loggen on fine for the 1st 3 mos of machines life, now it takes approx 2-3 minutes before it will allow login. it displays the welcome screen, but givesa “busy” hourglass for 2-3 mins before it allows a click on the “login” button.
troubleshooting to date:
NSW 2002 registry clean- no affect
reinstall from CD and fresh download- no affect
virus scan- no affect, none found
uninstall/reinstall IEcomponents- patched issue for one startup, then went back to slow start
uninstall/reinstall MSN explorer as XP component- no affect
unistalled NSW and realplayer (realplayer only new app around failure time)
what am I missing? MSN tech support has been less than helpful
Thanks in advance!
