'Welcome' screen after entering password hangs for 15 seconds
I recently re-formatted my hard-drive and re-installed windows 7. There were some problems, so I did it again. Both times I've had this issue...
When I turn on my laptop and windows 7 boots up everything's fine up until I type in my password to log in. The 'welcome' screen stays there for nearly a good 15 seconds, when before it would only be there for about a second at most. If I log out and log back in again the welcome screen only stays there for about a second again, so this is a problem with only the first time logging in.
I've googled this a little bit and I don't have a solid colour background at all.
I'm going to try disabling all startup services and programs to see if one of those is the problem but while I do this I'd like to know if anyone would know how to solve this slightly annoying problem. ( EDIT: The problem still stands with all services and programs disabled)
Thanks to everybody in advance! All help is greatly appreciated!
