How to Correct System Hang at Startup
 

If your system hangs about 2 or 3 minutes at startup, where you can't access the Start button or the Taskbar, it may be due to one specific service (Background Intelligent Transfer) running in the background.

Here's what you do:

• Click on Start
• Run... type msconfig OK.
• Go to the 'Services' tab,
• Find the 'Background Intelligent Transfer' service.
• Disable it (uncheck), apply the changes & reboot.
