I hope it an appropriate question for this forum, but I have a techy problem with my computer. When I click (DSL) on any website from the desktop it takes a couple of minutes for the site to log in. However if I have any website up and minimize it, any other website or even multiple websites come in immediately and normally. There has to be a website up to make the system function normally. After I X everything out, I must sit and wait for the first one to come up.
I have a one gig memory stick.
Allow me to reiterate what you just said.
I hope it an appropriate question for this forum, but I have a personal problem with my body. When I try to get up in the morning, it takes a couple minutes for my body to get moving and my brain to start thinking clearly. However, if I'm already awake, I can run around, do math problems, and perform a myriad of other tasks easy all day long. I have to be fully awake for my system to function normally. After I go to sleep, I must sit and wait for my eyes to open.
I have a brain.
Ok, joking aside, am I safe to assume you have a celeron?

Your witty body analogy fit's quite well.
Haha, I was afraid you wouldn't get it.
I have a Netgear which networks me to my wife's computer.
The computer isn't the only thing that falls asleep and needs time to wake up, you know. Networks do the same. Establishing the connection takes time.
My computer has always been a bit slow waking up from naps. However now unless I keep it busy with websites up it takes time to arouse it.
What explorer do you use?

but things are subsequently back to normal, so I think we're getting to the problem.
Wait, you mean it wasn't normal for your browser to open up slowly? Haha, I've been thinking it's something that you'd have to deal with.
Highly recommend running msconfig like he said. The furthest right tab should show all the start up programs. Technically speaking, you could uncheck every box if you want, so don't worry about ruining your computer.
