Win 2000 Desktop Takes Forever To Appear
Well, maybe not forever but takes about 1 minute for the desktop and icons to show up after the taskbar shows up. It did this after I installed SP 1 and logitech mouse drivers, but after I did a defrag it appeared right away.
Been loading software like Adobe Photoshop, Adaptec Direct CD, EZ CD Creator and now it's back to taking a minute to appear. Tried a defrag and no help. I did have the Paradise background right after SP1 which requires the active desktop, but switched back to no background, same delay.
I edited the Run registry to remove the Adaptec software from startup, and still get the delay. The only thing that I can't get rid of is the Adobe gamma loader. The only place that appears is the Startup folder, and if I remove it just reappears after a reboot. The Adobe gamma loader does not show up in the run registry.
CPU usage is around 2-3% and memory usage is about 64,000 after the taskbar appears, waiting for the desktop to show up.
