I just starting having this problem a few weeks ago and took me a long time to narrow it down.
After I connect to my dial-up account, any programs I try to run won't load for 3-5 minutes. It is as if the computer is frozen except that any programs already open prior to dialing-up keep working fine. So long as I have my browser open BEFORE dialing, I can start surfing immediately. The hangup is only with exe's I try to run AFTER establishing the dial-up connection.
I have tried opening task manager before dialing so I could keep an eye on all the processes, but nothing seems out of place.
This only happens after dialing the connection and lasts for about 5 minutes or so and then everything works fine again. CPU and Memory usage is always normal so it's not like something is bogging the system down. It just won't load those new exe's right away.
This is getting old and I can't find a fix for it. I can't even find the source (other than being somehow dial-up related) Thanks for any help.
