Heya everyone.
I decided to do a decent clean of my computer (defrag / adaware etc).
My problem - Applications now pause for about 5 seconds before they open. Once they begin to open, they opening like they always have. However, the system didn't use to pause as all prior to opening the application. I suspect something with windows has gone haywire, some process timesout and then the appilications open as usual.
Could this be a video driver related issue by any chance? I haven't changed my driver but I have been tinkering with the AA settings for gaming applications.
Any rate, curious to know if any one knows where to begin toubleshooting. It's not a huge proble just annoying to have to sit and wait after I click to open and application.
I am running XP SP2. AMD x2 4400+. SATA 10k Raptor HD.
Everything to this point seems to be running great.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
