Happy New Year to you all and to Mike,CA! One of the computer crashed while loading netscape (got that dreadful blue screen). I tried to restart the computer, but it had problem finding NT boot load. so, then I tried to boot the computer up with NT boot disk, during this process the computer wanted to repair a SCSI driver, that it could not find. so I installed the correct driver. finally, nt log on displayed...so i tried to log on locally and with net work domain. it failed, and on the local domain, it displayed another computer's name, not its own. so, I rebooted the computer with nt boot disk and repaired all. now, i'm able to log in as a local user, but the computer runs so slow. for example if I want to open the control panel, it takes the computer about 2 to 3 minutes to open this window. this computer is pII 350 with 256mb ram, so it is quite still a fast computer. does anyone have ideas what is wrong and how i might fix this problem(s)??? thanks,

Maybe, (and just maybe) but did you by accident upgrade your virusscanner (and is is mcafee??) If you installed dat update (4009 or 4008) or something like that your computer becomes annoying slow. I don't have a recommandation for the other problems, but this might do the trick. Good luck
