Vista Pause after Welcome Screen

My HP pavilion laptop has developed a pause after I sign in to the Welcome
screen. After I input my password, and hit enter, a 30 second pause occurs.

The rest of the boot sequence seems to zip along quite nicely.

Could this be due to my anti-virus program I recently installed (Shaw Secure
which is related to F Secure)? Seems to be the only new thing I can think
of....oh wait.....I also installed a network printer on a print server too.

Thanks for any tidbits of help
Jim

Sounds like you might have a lot of programs set to run and start-up.

Lets go ahead and check that. Go to start search > type *msconfig *>

Hi,

I've seen a similar notable pause after updating nvidia video drivers on
this series of laptops. The update corrects problems with the "in the box"
drivers, but causes these initialization delays. If you use 'switch user'
rather than logging off (assuming you use sleep mode and don't power off
fully), the delay does not occur since the driver remains initialized.

Does your network printer have a built-in flash card reader? If so,
the reader will be mapped as a network drive, and if you start Vista
with the printer turned off, it will try connecting until the time-out.
You can either make sure the printer is on before bootup, or
disconnect the network drive in Windows Explorer.
