i am having the same slow login problme .. startup is OK, but login takes 256 seconds+
followed as many of the steps here as i could .. pretty sure no trojans .. (just
reinstalled from an image made 12/04 shortly after i set up teh system .. but before
SP2 and all fixes since 12/28/04 ... got hijacked a couple of months ago). not sure
when the slow start started ... defragged, increased swap space , got bootvis and
ran optimize, etc etc ... i still have bad login .. (everything else is fine) ..
BOOTVIZ tells me there is a NETWORK DELAY of 138 sec (has been up to 256_) .. from
svchost (968) using driver mrxsmb.sys. this is sony vir s170 laptop that goes between
the lan at work and DSL at home .. i also note that the disk is being used 100% of
the time a LOT .. probably 80% of teh time from 149 sec to 280 sec .. a lot of the
activity is generated by symevent.sys (i have norton system works loaded .. use DiskKeeper
to defrag) ..the %usage is pegged at 100% a lot when this starts .. all on disk 0.
i have searech on all combinations of the above key words and ended up here several
times ... i would appreciate any advice you can give.
thanks in advance for your time ..
