'I use Windows XP Home Edition up to date and clean . Sometimes there is a
slow logoff time = 1 minute and other times 10 seconds . I use the internet
alot and have had slow log on times to America's Army online game and a lot
of cannot connect' messages , though I am in NewZealand , though I just did a
repair to the installation and I got a fast logon .
Is the User profile huge ?
And thankyou very much for being here to advise , this is a terrific
service , I just wish I could use it properly sometimes , thankyou .
