For the first five minutes after connecting to the web, none of the new
programs I try to open will open, but then after five minutes or so, they
all open at once.
To avoid waiting to use my programs, I now open up Outlook and IE before
connecting to the web so that I don't have to wait for them to open after
the five minute period.
Any ideas as to what could be causing the programs to stall?
