When I click start, and then 'All Programs' (or select a sub menu of all programs) I get a grey menu which does not respond for about 5 seconds - after this it is ok.
Any idea what is causing the menu to behave sluggishly? What can be done to fix this?
Thanks
Info Requested System Specs : Core2 T5500 @1.66GHz, 2GB Ram
Windows version: XP Professional SP2
Happens Every time I click the menu (not just first time), has gradually been getting worse.
Nothing too unusual at startup: ComodoFirewall, AVG AV, Truecrypt (only for small volume).
AV Software: AVG.
It could be any number of things causing sluggish response. We're going to need more info to go on. What are the specs of the system in question? What flavor of Windows XP are you using (Home, Pro, MCE)? How often does this happen (Every time you click on Start > Programs? Only the first time you click on it after you boot the system?) When did you notice this started happening? What programs do you have running at startup? What (if any) anti-virus software are you running? Give us a bit more to run with and we can see what we can do. – TechParadox – 2009-11-09T14:58:18.780
