I have a Compaq Presario notebook R3000 with broadcom wireless lan adaptor.
If the adaptor is disabled under network connections my computer starts
normal and all my programs can start immediately. If I have enabled the
wireless hardware (adaptor can be on or off)the computer starts much slower
and I cannot open any program. Everything is delayed. The programs that I
tried to open pop up after 2-5 minutes at the same time . It seems that
soemthing is blocking the program start.

Hi
The computer is busy with some Boot up (StartUp) activity and it can not
start any program before the boot is done. Check the StartUp (
http://www.ezlan.net/infestation#startup ) and make sure that the computer
does not load the Presario utility while Windows Zero Configuration is On,
and or, there No other component/application that tries to use the Network
while there is No connection available.

Having a similar problem w/ a number of Twinhead Durabooks - if the wireless
is enabled but does not have an AP readily available then everything is stuck
for 2-3 minutes. If wireless is disabled then normal startup.

Intel PRO wireless chipset. If AP is available then all works fine....
