I recently switched my DSL service provider (which came with a new DSL modem) and have now noticed that it takes extremely long for Windows to load at startup. On startup, the desktop appears quickly; however, the loading of program icons in the right corner of taskbar freezes (Norton Antivirus icon, etc) while the data light on the modem blinks. It appears the computer is trying to communicate with the modem. 20 seconds later, the computer will finish loading. Without the cable modem plugged into my network card, Windows XP will start fine. Any ideas on what could be causing this problem?
