i am not sure if this is the correct place to put this or not but here gose.

i am having a problem with my computer loading up my desktop screen. once it begins to load, i the taskbar icons and the taskbar itself will just fail to load for what seems to take anywhere between 1 and 5 minutes. durring this time i can move the mouse but cant click on anything. and then all of a sudden everything will load up. the only things that are in the startup are mcaffe firewall and antivirus and my soundcard and my mouse icon. i know its not a memory problem because i have 1 gig and i know its not a cpu problem because i have 3ghz HT. and i know its not a hard drive problem because i just installed a new one.

could this be a motherboard problem, powersuply problem or prehaps video card?!?

any help is very much appreciated

Is this new build? Did it EVER run faster?

Sounds like some sort of driver problem. Can you give a bit more history? You say you have a new hard drive. Did you format this drive and then put Windows on it? XP?

Some machine specs and a little more of a log would help enormously!
