"Failure - Security Options -- Logon process has failed to create the
security options dialogue"

I get the above error message after i hit ctrl-alt del to see why my pc has
suddenly gone very sluggish/fails to respond & the hard disc access appears
constant. Any ideas please?

Running Vista ultimate using windows live onecare, no other anti virus etc.

Also noticed that applications (FF2, Outlook) report (not responding after
initial boot. This is when the above error is noticed.

After a few minutes (5) they start responding and the CTRL-ALT-DEL brings up
the Task manager and no more error reported.

I see quite a few people on other forums are also having these issues,
obviously no one at MS has had them......

Yes it is too bad no one seems to "hear"

It happened again this am - very sluggish and lots of "not responding"
messages... 5 min later all is fine.

Seems to be something that happens during the initial bootup.

Hi Jeff,
Do u find u get alot of HD trashing as well then it responds? Agree I often
get it after an initial start. I kinda gets stuck then responds after 3-5
mins..

LOL maybe we should just do our own tech support.....

Allygash,

I'll take a listen to the HD next time.

I'm going to pop over to the Dell support forum (as my machine is a Dell)
and see if they have any ideas.

I have not tried the "SATA" switch jet - maybe this weekend.

Jeff:

Did you ever get a solution? I have exactly the same problem but doubt
the DVD or CD drives -- they have been installed for months if not years.

Barrie,

Been on Holidays for a while.

Still slow load, but I just get in the habit of starting Vista and then
wonder off for a while before returning.
