Whenever I startup Windows, it loads like normal up until after the taskbar and systray loads, after that it just hangs and if i let it go, i have to wait like 5 minutes for the icons to appear or if i choose Shut Down from the start menu, the icons just suddenly appear, while its hanging i cannot click or right click on the desktop, it did this before i formatted and did another clean install, i thought maybe that would help...it did...for awhile. Also just a litle annoyance, how do i keep the StartMenu/Programs from hiding my applications from me which makes me click on the little chevron (down arrow) thingy to expand them, it also does it with my favorites in IE 5. Thanks
