I have a problem with my Windows 2000 Pro Installation.
I have a PIII Coppermine 800MHz w/ 512MB PC133 RAM, and a 30GB HD. When I first installed Win2k a few months ago, it seemed to startup slow, especially on my system (9x took around 20 seconds at the most. Win2k neared a minute). Lately the startup time has increased up to 90-100 seconds. The slowing down seems to be just a little bit in the Windows 2000 Loading screen, but a lot in just my background. Sometimes I see just the blue background for half a minute while it is loading.
I have cleared all of my temp files and anything that doesn't need to be there. The only tray program that starts up is NAV, and even with that disabled this still happens.
Another problems comes alone with this. Once the computer is done loading (finially) It runs slow for the first few minutes of use (It's literally like running Windows 2000 on my old PII 133 w/ 32MB RAM....). Clicking Start is like trying to launch a nuclear missile. Sometimes it takes up to 10 seconds to fade in. This is a very recent problem. After those first few minutes from startup, though, it speeds up some. I also noticed that my computer is constantly ripping away at the hard drive.
When I am running T2, and open a link from it, the computer slows way back down (never used to) down to 133MHz speeds.
Any ideas? It's not overheating... Barely hits 36 degrees celcius when IDLE.
