Comment: Help! When my PC finished booting up WinXP and the desktop appears, I cannot do anything for at least 1 minute. The mouse & keyboard works but if I open up Windows Explorer, Control Pannel or IE, nothing happens. After a minute or so, HD shows sings of activity, as if it was loading up something. Heck, even the floppy LED goes on. After that, the system is fine and remains fine as long as I don't reboot. I tried Bootvis but that didn't solve anything. Granted, my bootup time is really fast (around 30 secs) but once on the desktop, I can't do anything until it does that HD activity thing a minute or so after bootup...

Reply: (edit)Had this problem. I disabled DNS Client in services and it was resolved. It is probably a service that is active. Check out blkviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm

Reply: (edit)Hmm... I disabled DNS client, still have the same problem. Get this: I formatted my drive and did a fresh install of XP... The problem is still there!! I decided to swap a few devices inside, just for kicks, in case the problem changed, but no! Any suggestions?

Reply: (edit)It is probably a program running in one of the svchost's. You will probably have to disable them in services until you find the culprit.Luck.
