Got a new laptop from work a couple months ago and loaded it with our corporate image (XP Pro + apps). Seemed to work OK for a while but now, intermittently, after I log in the system will just hang for up to 5 minutes, after which it finishes booting and everything is fine. It does this coming out of suspend sometimes, too.
I can get to Task Manager while the system is hung, but there are no apps listed in the "Applicatons" tab. I sit and watch the Process tab, but that hasn't given me any good clues. System Idle is 99% the majority of the time. Occasionally one random process or another will grab 2 or 3%, but there's no pattern or obvious culprit.
Is there any way to find out what the system is waiting on - what the last thing the system does before compelting boot? I am up to the latest BIOS/firmware on all components.
Thanks for any advice.
