I have an HP pavillion With windows XP PRO. I have 1 of 2 problems on a regular basis, they both seem related. 1) After Login in only the wallpaper appears. 15 min. later everything else appears and all runs fine. This happens only from a fresh boot or a reset not from a log off/log on. 2) After logging on every thing appears but certian things hang, like all of the system services. you cant pull up my computer properties, you can’t open network connections, you cant even open things like system restore. However, 15 min later all the property windows that I tried to open open. and the system runs normaly. Also you can run programs like microsoft word with out issue, but you can’t print till the system come out of it’s glitch.
Related to both problems the system process never goes above 4%. The hard drive light won’t come on during the 15 min. No timers show up on the mouse pointer. I’ve disable and re enabled all the HP junk that come with the computer as well as other non essential processes(with no effect) I’ve started the system in diagnostic start up and still get the same effects.
