I have a "hand-me-down" PC that used to connect to a
network in an small business environment. It used to have
several user logins but now just has "administrator"
and "guest". It could be logged into a network or to
itself (local PC without network). If I logon as
administrator to the option "local PC", it loads the
desktop quickly and everything is fine. If I logon as
administrator to the network, it takes over 5 minutes to
bring up the desktop. My questions:
1. "Administrator" appears to only be one user when I
look up in control panel, but it acts like 2
(administrator - network, versus administrator - local
PC).
2. Why is it taking so long? I have a hunch it is
because it is looking for a network that is no longer
there . I have disabled the appropriate network but it
did not seem to matter. How can I get rid of this network
option?
3. If I can resolve the appearance of 2 admin users, is
there anyway to combine the personal settings into one
user?
4. I do have a wireless linksys to connect to another PC
in the house to share a broadband connection - maybe that
is related? I don't think is related because I believe
this problem started several weeks AFTER the linksys was
installed.
5. A virus?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
