    Hi everyone,

    I'm new to the forum and have been reading a lot (lurking) for days now about the pausing of SP3. I just recently have encountered this type of problem and I believe it may be a driver problem but I am not sure when it started as my computer is usually on 24/7. I am running XP SP3 on a WD Raptor 74gb drive connected via SATA on an ASUS P5AD2-E Premium motherboard. I currently have a dual boot system setup; another raptor drive has linux on it. I currently use linux's boot loader GRUB to select and boot Windows XP. I don't believe this problem has anything to do with that though as this setup has been functioning fine for weeks. Now, onto what is actually occurring.

    When I select to boot Windows XP the normal Windows XP splash comes up with the blue bar moving, after a normal amount of time the splash goes away and the screen goes black, this is the first pause. No hard drive activity and it will pause for at least a minute or two. Once it get's past this I see the login screen (I have autologin enabled) it logs in and my wallpaper is displayed. At this point the computer's hard drive activity is again idle and no icons/start bar are shown. I can run the Task Manager and start programs fine, but it will be another 2 minutes before the normal desktop items show up. Also, when I try to access My Computer, or any dialog that displays or connects to the drives, there is the same long pause before anything shows. Once the system is up and running everything works fine! I do not have any firewall software installed as I am behind a properly configured router. (This cuts out the pausing issue with ZA) I have run ATF-Cleaner, Spybot, AdAware, HiJackThis VundoFix, CCleaner, and a full system virus scan in Safe Mode; none of these turn up anything. If I had to guess when this problem started, it might have been after I was playing around with my Creative Audigy 2 ZS drivers to try to rectify a crackle that I'm getting in some of the sound (This is a common issue with these cards). I have uninstalled and reinstalled this device with DriverCleaner and then the newest drivers. To get everyone caught up, here are some logs that may help:

    pantherts - Welcome to the Board :)

    I have split your post to a new thread - please do not hijack an existing thread as your problem is not necessarily the same - and that thread is resolved.

    I'm very sorry about that Pete, I did not mean anything by it. I hope this doesn't mean you won't assist me! :)

    Also I posted the logs before I saw your response. They were posted to that other thread that I mistakenly hijacked. :(

    It's not a problem :) Your logs are here in the thread, but ....

    As a new member with less than 10 posts any post you make which contains a URL requires approval (moderation) before it is visible. There was a message to this effect when you signed up.

    We, not necessarily me, will be glad to help you :)

    Pete,

    Sorry about that I see what you're talking about, those are SpyBot immunize entries in my hosts file. I just copied and pasted the DDS log not even realizing those would be links. I apologize again about that.

    -Travis

    P.S.: Glad to hear you aren't too angry with my incompetence. I apologize.

    Is what I posted sufficient information or should I create some more logs? The extra.txt log created by DDS perhaps?

    Also, I do notice that there are some left over files from an infection that I had, but I looked for those and don't see them anywhere. So, still a possible infection of some kind?

    More information: I also located the LSA Authentication Regedit entry and deleted it as I know this is dangerous.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\control\lsa]
    "Authentication Packages "= msv1_0 C:\WINDOWS\system32\urqRHywv

    There's no need for apologies - we have certain preventive measures on the BBS to pick up those who come here with the aim of trafficking, spamming and so on.

    Alright, I apologize if I wasted anyone's time on this issue already, but please close this thread for me. I learned that there was more to this issue than I thought. I found that many files on my computer were corrupted and I'm guessing it had something to do with a virus I used to have. I have completely formatted and everything is working fine. I'm greatful for Pete being so kind to welcome me and I hope you didn't dig into this issue too much. I believe it was a virus that had embedded itself in my critical windows applications (lsass.exe, winlogon, etc.). Problem rectified by format. Thanks again everyone!
