my initial guess is a virus ......turn off system restore ...then go in to safe mode and run your uptodate anti virus programmes ......see if that clears it .....also possibly need to repair windows

Assuming that you are actually logging into Windows (even though there is a long delay) it could be one of several issues:\n\n1) You could have a lot of information in your User Profile.  You can right click on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop, go to "Properties" and then select the "Advanced" tab.  From there, click on "Settings" in the 'User Profiles' section.  This is information that is stored for your specific user log in.\n\n2) You can have a lot of applications and services (especially if you see a lot of icons in your system tray down on the bottom of the menu bar) that are trying to load and run.  These can slow down the time it takes to log in depending upon what they are doing.\n\n3) You may have a service which is taking some time to perform some action and logging several errors when your machine starts.  To see if this is the case, go to "Control Panel" then "Administrative Tools" and use the "Event Viewer" applet to check your event logs (specifically 'Application' and 'System' logs) to see if there are errors.  Note the times of the entries to see if any of them have a noticeable gap.  It might indicate that a service is taking some time to recover from an error.  If this is the case, you can use Microsoft's support site to try and troubleshoot the service or see if it is safe to disable it.\n\nMicrosoft's TechNet site link is below.

Probably because of an anti-virus program. Disable it before shutting down. Enable it again on startup.

use safe boot (f4) when booting up the disable all the programs the start up, then one by one turn them on you should find the program thats giving you grief.

They have to log off first so you can then log on separately...

i dunno about the lock-up thing.. but the shutdown thing MIGHT BE the infamous remote procedure call error (RPC) (that is.. if u r using XP).. It would give a countdown before shutting down the pc. It is becos of a goddamned worm. Try running an antivirus scan to flush out the worm.

try clicking altogether ctrl+alt+delete and click shut down. if it's still not working, you have to contact your pc manufacturer

If it does only during startup then its the BIOS setting that holds the key. But if it does quite often during your normal working, then a virus could be a culprit. Another reason could of some program which has been run from the drive and stopped adruptly and its still seeking its home from the background.

do you have a lot of programs loading at start up because the can slow your computer way down. Just make it so they don't start up when you first logon.

can you get to the internet when you log in?  Have you try a terminal service into the server? and see if that works.  You can imz me i am a system admin too.\n\nAlso try loggin in as your user too you should have created yourself as a admin too.  See if you can bring the desktop that way once again if you still can't let me know and I will try to help yo solve this problem

It sounds like it is staying in Standby Mode.\nRight Click Desktop> Screen Saver> Power>   System Stanby and Hibernates to (NEVER).\n\nGo to to system Setup. Restart your system and press F2.\nand set power Management.\nHarry

It is better to switch it off. This is to increase the efficiency and life span of the PC. \n\nIf you are using Windows XP, then you might want to try the hibernate option. When u restart the computer from hibernation, the PC gets back on the desktop much much quicker than a normal starting process, thus saving sometime.
