Applying your personal settings takes more than 10 minutes

message from =?Utf-8?B?RGFuIE0=?= on 7 Jun 2004
Symantec Antivirus Corporate 8.00.9374
Cisco VPN Client 3.5.1 (E) -> Not running normally, only when on the road
Office XP Small Business -> latest patches as of today
Win XP Pro -> all criticals, most windows patches (Not media player or .NET), all drivers
TSLink (a dos based terminal services program for connecting to a bank... no preloaded drivers, dlls etc)
Lavasoft Ad-Aware (again latest version)

I have uninstalled everything else on the system, and it still has this load issue... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as it is driving me nuts.

P.S. for a little more info, he connects to our network via a Cisco VPN tunnel, over a T1, from a local PIX 501 to our PIX 501, but none of the other systems at his location have this problem, so I suspect this is irrelevant... just thought I'd throw it in. Also, the system in question is a Dell Latitude C600 P4 2.0 with 512 MB of RAM
