OK, for programs I have loading on startup, I only have NAV2002 running. I keep everything else at a bare minimum. I have 20 processes running at startup, which is 4 more than my wife has running on her machine at startup.

I am also using ICS on this machine to share the DSL connection with hers.

Since ICS is the only difference between our machines, could this be the cause? And why would it cause my machine to load 4 more processes than hers? (Wish I could look at what hers are compared to mine, but her PSU died tonight.)
