Hi Guys

I run Windows XP Pro on my home pc. I have a problem, that seems to affect
only my profile. Whenever I start an app that connects to the net (IE,
Outlook, KazaaLite, CStrike etc) the app freezes for two or three minutes,
then it runs fine. Once I have IE running, I can open another browser window
with no problems.

The other users on this PC have no problem, and I have another PC running
Win98 sharing the same internet connection, with no problems there either.

Help......

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.

Thanks Frank.

I cheated. I backed up documents etc, deleted profile, and rebuilt from
scratch.

I have bookmarked that site for future reference however, in case it happens
again (this is the second time...)

Thanks for replying.
