Here is a strange problem
setup
Asus A8N32 motrbd
Athlon 4400+ dual core
Corsair 2 x 1Gb sticks
Recently when I have started up the PC - it boots fine to windows - when the desktop appears (also have mcafee security centre installed) - the personal firewall of mcafee is suddenly disabled and cannot access internet (can open internet explorer but no internet) or outlook. ALso, cannot access any functions from control panel -receive the dreaded eggtimer. However, can access applications such as word....etc
then after a minute the hard drive whirs and the floppy drive (no floppy inserted) comes to life....and then all is fine....
Have tried with mcafee shut down - no change still same problem
very strange...
