When I try to start any program (IE, Word, Outlook, etc)
there is a long delay (1-2 minutes) before anything
happens on my system. Once in the application, everything
seems to operate fine.

My system freezes in various application altough I have
done full system recovery i.e. Factory setting.I have
Compaq presario Pc with Win xp home./P-4/2.6Gb/256mb Ram.

I have a file in the c: directory called content.log. It's a massive 979,536KB. What is it logging? What would happen if I deleted it?
TIA
