Some of my applications hang while opening, until I press Ctrl-Alt-Del
and launch the Windows Security dialog box (where the Task Manager
utility is located). When I open Task Manager, it shows the
application is running. When I exit Task Manager, and the window is
redisplayed, the application is running. There is never an error. If I
don't Ctrl-Alt-Del, the application will hang for at least 2 or 3
minutes; honestly, I've never let it go longer to see when it will
actually load completely. Some internet searches have turned up
similar problems, but no real solutions.
This happens with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, SolidWorks, and
a few other applications. It doesn't happen with ProEngineer,
FrameMaker, Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.
The other weird thing is that this started happening awhile back with
my old work computer. This computer was completely replaced, and it is
still occurring. My desktop and user profiles were all reinstalled on
the new computer.
I run UltraMon for a dual-monitor configuration. I've turned this
utility off, and I still get the problem.

I've found that there are plenty of computer experts that are also
experts in other subjects. I am casting a wide net, in the hope that
someone in one of the groups will be able to help me. In other words,
just because this is x-posted, doesn't mean I'm trying to be malicious.

Yeah, it would be nice if they'd let me run OS X on a mac.
Unfortunately, I don't get to choose my OS, at my place of business.

You need more RAM and cache memory or both. Check hard drive and make sure
it's not full. Cleanup your temp files, run defrag, increase ramdisk size.

Someone told me that there may be a short between the keyboard and the
chair. I'm checking that one out now.

There's about 95 GB remaining of free space on the hard drive. I clean
up the temp files all the time with CCleaner. I have 4 GB of physical
memory installed. Given the amount of applications I run
simultaneously, this should be more than adequate. Or, it has been up
until this started. I changed the virtual memory setting to "system
managed." It was 2045, or something like that.
