Kinda wierd problem here for the experts! :twisted:
This is my main computer, so it is kinda important, too. (To me anyway. :) )
I have several processes that start up every time my computer turns on, such as wireless, the nvidia control panel, stuff like that. Every time it turns on, though, it seems to freeze partway through loading those programs. Always after the audio icon appears, and always before the network connection icons appear. Everything else in windows works fine, all the icons on the desktop work, and so on. But the start bar is completely frozen until it finishes loading, which usually takes two to three minutes. :evil:
And Supreme Commander runs strangely slow as well.
Things on my list to try are reinstalling drivers for audio, chipset, and graphics, and maybe in safe mode. One of those should probably do it, but I'm just curious as to everyone else's opinions.
P.S. It's not a virus or spyware or anything either, at least not anything AVG stuff can detect. And my registry is good according to CCleaner.
