Same problem as everybody else.
Happened on SP1 as well as SP2.
Not related to my virus checker.
It seems to have been triggered this time by tweakui
I do have one new observation this time however.
When using task manager, I always turn on the pid column, which seems to indicate
the order in which an application was started (some sort of queue?). Normally the
basic windows processes would be about 200-500 and my applications about 1200+. However,
three or four of my applications are now showing a pid of 200-300, well before many
of the XP services are initiated. I do not know how this affects XP, what dependencies
are at stake etc. since I do not have sufficient expetise.
I do wander, however, if XP has some sort of 'optimization' routine the 'optimizes'
the start order when you log on. This would explain both the many different solutions
and why even on working systems, the system tray icons can load in different orders.
This is not a solution, but may help some of our blundering about in the dark? Or
maybe I am just plain wrong?
