Title: slow system tray load
Post by: Wilbert on September 12, 2006, 07:10:04 AM

Just lately my system tray take ages to load, and half the items dont load, usually my sound and graphics dont load in.
i regularly check startup in msconfig, and i only have handfull of things starting there.
the items i should have loading in are:
AVG pro - anti virus
Nvidia settings
cmedia mixer
skype
skypemate - usb phone software.

usually only avg loads in

If i log out and log in they all load in about 10 seconds

Windows xp home sp2 fully updated
Athlon xp2200 on asrock K7VT4A+
512meg pc2100 ( 1 stick)
nvidia fx 5500 GPU (latest drivers)
CMI8738 audio

I'd remove both the C_Media and NVidia items...both notoriously slow loading and ne need for them to run 24/7...
