I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 and had ran the latest Windows Updates at the
end of December 2005.  I lock my workstation when I walk away, and when I
come back I simply enter my password and I am instantly brought back to my
desktop ready to go.

Then, a couple weeks ago (June 2006), I ran the latest Windows Update again
and applied about 30 updates (including the Windows Genuine Advantage
update).  Now - whenever I unlock my workstation - the user that I enter my
password into moves to the center of the blue login screen (the screen that's
up when you lock your workstation) - and I sit there for upwards of 5 minutes
before my desktop appears and I can use the machine.

I de-installed all of the Windows updates that I had just installed and the
huge delay is still there.  I was Not able to remove the Windows Genuine
Advantage update - so it makes me wonder if this is not the culprit.

I can't tell what it is happening during this delay - but it is totally
unacceptable, and any information anyone has about this would be Hugely
appreciated!

Thanks!
