    Post Worries and new users

    Every time I log onto my own user account in XP PRo, the computer hangs, forcing me to log out and then back in again, and it comes up fine
    I'm looking through event viewer to see what could be causing this and I am getting this event ID 20158 pretty much every time I start up my computer..this worries me becuase of little other things that don't seem to be falling in place, and the fact that I only recently started running a firewall


    The user User Name successfully established a connection to The Internet (2) using the device IRDA14-1.

    For more information, see Help and Support Center at <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp." target="_blank">http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.</a>

    Of course MS doesn't give me any info on this, and it would seem benign by itself, but I don't have a modem hooked up to the computer, I don't have a user named User Name, and I don't even have an IRDA device ( this is a desktop now, hmm? )
    Does anybody know what could be the source of this error, or for that matter, the startup thing
    and yes I tried disabling startup items, even services, to no avail

    When you log in has admin, do you get the error? I'd also check your resources to make sure nothing is conflicting.. Also there are some great posts on tweaking windows.. stop all unecessairy components. You can also check the services utility and see what's going on there..

    Nope, only happens when I log on under *my* user account, which I would rather not change, if I don't need to, I have wayyy too much stuff in here to warrant that for an issue I can just click past

    Sounds like a corrupt profile to me. you may have no choice but to move it all to a new one.

    I found this that may be of help..

    <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=%2fsearch%2fviewDoc.aspx%3fdocID %3dKC.Q307001%26dialogID%3d3023638%26iterationID%3 d1%26sessionID%3danonymous%7c2695754" target="_blank">HOW TO: Enable Logging of Wiadebug.log (Q307001)</a>

    Perhaps the log files will help indicate the problem.
