Hi, what would be the reason for sygate to get delayed in starting at start-up? I am using sygate under windows xp home and recently it started getting delayed five or six minutes at start-up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but no luck. Any idea? Thank you. -------------------- Ali LL.B London UK alpot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ** Going on holiday and want to halt messages?
