When I log onto my desktop after turning the computer on the "loading your personal settings" screen doesn't go away for two minutes. The taskbar shows up but when I click on the start menu and click off again it will stay there. If I open the task manager and drag it around it will act as an eraser. CLICK HERE to see a screen shot. I cannot start any programs while this is happening. As you can see in the picture I tried to start picture it but it just sat there like that. It's almost as if the desktop isn't being updated. If I close something it closes but the image stays on the desktop. The task manager shows the Cpu usage at 2% sometimes spiking to 100%. 384mb of the 512mb of RAM is used and 151mb of the page file is used. I have disabled all unessacary processes including the evntsvc.exe from RealPlayer with no luck. This is really starting to get annoying. Can anyone help?
