Hi People, I have a strange problem, two users on a xp pro machine are having big trouble with the system slowing right down when trying to use--logging off takes up to 5 minutes. However administrator mode there are no problems. Can I disable some startup programes or roll back to an earlier time to fix this problem, or what is causing this? System has Nortons 2003 av Any help really appreciated. Thanks teldave ;(

Thanks for the help guys, the problem turned out to be spyware trying to compete for the cpu processing time. Kazaar seemed to have been the big hog. Used adaware to clean out but a kazaar routine starts at bootup but can't fireup properly. How does a person remove programs from the startup bootup process in XP? By the way I used ctrl alt del to end running processes so I could work on the computer. Thanks for trying to help Cheers teldave

Both the other users have problems with not just logon and logoff but with all their programs not responding for an hour or more i.e. incredimail It is not practical to test things as the computer is just to slow as a user to use. As An Administrator can I do anything to correct this problem? Thanks Teldave
