Some of my applications hang while opening, until I press Ctrl-Alt-Del
and launch the Windows Security dialog box (where the Task Manager
utility is located). When I open Task Manager, it shows the
application is running. When I exit Task Manager, and the window is
redisplayed, the application is running. There is never an error. If I
don't Ctrl-Alt-Del, the application will hang for at least 2 or 3
minutes; honestly, I've never let it go longer to see when it will
actually load completely. Some internet searches have turned up
similar problems, but no real solutions.
This happens with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, SolidWorks, and
a few other applications. It doesn't happen with ProEngineer,
FrameMaker, Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.
The other weird thing is that this started happening awhile back with
my old work computer. This computer was completely replaced, and it is
still occurring. My desktop and user profiles were all reinstalled on
the new computer.
I run UltraMon for a dual-monitor configuration. I've turned this
utility off, and I still get the problem.
Any help would be appreciated. |

How about posting only to appropiate groups?

I've found that there are plenty of computer experts that are also

someone in one of the groups will be able to help me. In other words,
just because this is x-posted, doesn't mean I'm trying to be malicious. |

You need more RAM and cache memory or both. Check hard drive and make sure
it's not full. Cleanup your temp files, run defrag, increase ramdisk size..

When you start something go to the task master first and process and see

still occurring. My desktop and user profiles were all reinstalled on
the new computer.
I run UltraMon for a dual-monitor configuration. I've turned this
utility off, and I still get the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Look for ctfmon.exe, it's a spyware virus and hard to remove. It can
cause severe lagging issues

According to Microsoft, it's a service they install for alternative
language/input support for XP. It can cause severe lagging issues,
like you suggest. It can be turned off. I'm going to try that and see
if it helps.
I've also read that if I have a corrupt font installed, this may also
be causing these applications to hang when they try to load a
corrupted font set. |

application is running. When I exit Task Manager, and the window is
redisplayed, the application is running. There is never an error. If I
don't Ctrl-Alt-Del, the application will hang for at least 2 or 3
minutes; honestly, I've never let it go longer to see when it will
actually load completely. Some internet searches have turned up
similar problems, but no real solutions.
This happens with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, SolidWorks, and
a few other applications. It doesn't happen with ProEngineer,
FrameMaker, Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.
The other weird thing is that this started happening awhile back with
my old work computer. This computer was completely replaced, and it is
still occurring. My desktop and user profiles were all reinstalled on
the new computer.

You need more RAM and cache memory or both. Check hard drive and make sure
it's not full. Cleanup your temp files, run defrag, increase ramdisk size.
