For the past few weeks my computer starts up quickly to the XP password window. I enter my password and the computer hangs for almost 70 seconds and then seems to be working fine. Tonite...I went into msconfig and turned everything off and added things slowely and found the problem...but leaving it disabled causes my other computer to be inaccesable. I disabled workstation in the services area. Any advice?

To Optimize Memory Usage .
You can choose to optimize your computer's memory usage. If you use your computer primarily as a workstation, rather than as a server, you can have more memory devoted to your programs. Your programs will work faster and your system cache size will be the default size that came with Windows XP. You can also specify to set aside more computer memory for a larger system cache, if your computer is used primarily as a server, or if you use programs that require a larger cache.
Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Performance.
Click the Advanced tab, and then do one of the following under Memory usage:
Click Programs if you use your computer primarily as a workstation, rather than as a server, to have more memory devoted to your programs.
Click System cache if your computer is used primarily as a server, or if you use programs that require a larger cache.
