ASK SERDAR YEGULALP
Why does my WinXP Pro machine boot so slowly?
Dear Serdar:
My Windows XP Professional PC seems to take a long time to boot up -- around three minutes. I only see the message "Loading personal settings." After it boots, everything is fine and running extremely well. Is there something that our network administrators can do to correct this problem? We are on an NT network.

THE MISSING LINK
Hate pop-ups? Then stop reading them!
![]()
Pop-up ads are the gnats of the Net -- everyone wants to swat them. So why are so many of us reading them? Believe it or not, this reviled form of advertising -- which has turned the mildest-mannered men and women into mouse-mashing pop-up killers -- seems to work! A new study has found that more people click on pop-ups than banner ads. This is bad news if you're hoping pop-ups' unpopularity portends their demise. In fact, there's a new type of ad that clicks through to the advertiser's site when you move your mouse over it. Ugh!
