    Searching a Forum takes you to login

    If I go to a forum, say For Sale/Trade - and tell it I want to Search This Forum, the drop down opens. I put in what I want to search for. It then takes me to login. Even though I'm already logged in. I put in my credentials again, click proceed...no search results.

    New computer build, Win XP Pro SP2 booting slowly

    I'd also make sure you have the motherboard drivers installed for your motherboard. FIRST thing you should install after a fresh OS install, then update with service packs, etc. I've never had a problem with boot times with large drives. My current p4 3.06 system with an ASUS mb at home...
