Rick,
It's a win2k system. And all of my win2k systems have control.exe on
them 8k standard windows file. Only this one MF server is trying to load
it at runtime.
I will take a look at network access but I suspect that this particular
problem has everything to do with control.exe loading at each users
runtime. The problem that I face is that I can't find anywhere that it's
loading.
Justin

Hi Justin,
Since you mention control.exe, we must be looking at NT 4 systems?
Control.exe will be invoked for example for a network interface
reconfiguration. If it's not NT4, then you've found another trojan.
Often a lengthy delay is due to the logon login process trying to access
some network resource. The delays, when northing seems to be happening
on the server are then due to a timeout. If you time the delay, if it's
a network issue, it will be an exact time interval. For example we had
an issue with Word starting up where the delay was exactly 2 minutes,
and fully reproducible. Neither filemon nor regmon shoed anything, but
when we ran netmon (or ethereal) against the server we could see it
trying to access a network share that was no longer there.

Rick

I have had something similar start here recently on one of my Terminal
servers. This began after a couple of programs were installed.
1.) Yahoo Messenger which since has been uninstalled and
2.) Startpage-DU a Trojan.
I have cleaned the system and gotten everything back to the way it was
(or close anyway). Yet when users logon to this server (1 of the 2 that
I have) it takes them a while to logon. It hangs while the screen says
Applying your personal settings...
If you look at the logon in mfadmin I found control.exe (the control
panel) starting up if you kill this process everything works normally
and the session loads immediately. If you don't kill this process Word
and all other standard applications including folder browsing take
forever. I have so far be unable to find where control.exe is loading in
the registry or other startup files. I have scanned the file and it is
virus free. I have also copied it from the working terminal server with
no luck.
I found an archive article from this mailing list for last year that
complained of the same thing but no resolution. If anyone out there has
any thoughts or experience with this it would sure be appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

Have you watched task manager to see what is using the CPU when you do
that?

Hi, I am wondering if anyone else have this problem:
Recently, several of my Win XP machine running Office 2003 are acting
weird. When I double click on a .doc or .xls, it will hang for almost
a minute then suddenly, either Word or Excel will launch and everything
works ok again. But it takes about a minute or two for that to happen.
If I open Word first, it opens up quick, and then click file open and
select the file, it works just fine. This happen for almost everything
including all of MS office program, acrobat and etc.
Did I get infected by some kind of a virus?
Vince
