I installed it today and it seems to have gone smoothly. My only issue is that now Windows seems to start slowly. Whereas before I had a cold boot time of around 30 seconds I'm up to somewhere like a minute and a half. When the desktop finally appears the icons are all blank and then slowly start to materialize. My running programs (firewall, AV, battery icon, touchpad icon, power setting icon) in the task bar are slow to appear as well. Has anyone else experienced this? -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
