Mysterious delay after entering logon password
We're a 2 person office on a little network.
My partner's Vista laptop just started to pause for about 20 secs after she types in her password and hits enter to logon... after a period of no use. What might cause this? jeff

Mysterious delay after entering logon password
does this occur when she is not connected to the network?
What kind of network--domain or workgroup--domain seems overkill, but I thought I would ask "Jeff Ingman" wrote in message ... We're a 2 person office on a little network.

gerry...
I haven't tested to see if the delay occurs if she is not connected to the network... but could if you suspect the network connection might be the issue. The network is a home workgroup.

Mysterious delay after entering logon password
This is what I think may be happening--when she logs on, VISTA is attempting
to reconnect mapped drives or it is looking for network shares (folders, maybe printers) Did she map a drive during a previous session? Connect to a shared printer? Perhaps a script to reconnect the drive/printer at startup rather than having Windows search might be faster. "Jeff Ingman" wrote in message ... gerry...

Gerry...
Thanks... I think you're on the right track. I've noticed our mapped drives have changed behavior recently and I may be able to solve the problem simply by eliminating the mapped drives or remapping them. I would not know who to write a script to connect them... so I hope this isn't a necessary step to solve the issue. I'll work on this and post the good or bad news here tomorrow.
