Well, much to my embarrassment the problem seems to have gone away. We 
upgraded two desktops from 9.1 to 10.0 and they were both appallingly slow on 
opening menus and applications (several seconds to open the main desktop 
menu). After using them for a while they seem to have settled down.. not a 
very satisfactory outcome as I still don't know why they were slow in the 
first place. I have a couple fo users using them today....lets see what 
happens, so far all I heard is that they think the new desktop is pretty! I 
guess thats what users want....

If its any consolation I had exactly the same problems this morning with a new MDK 9.2  install on a PIII box.  I installed all the internet and network connections in a one-er and I have a suspision that it took a few minutes and a couple of rebstarts to get everyone talking nicely to each other. Does this sound feasible?

Cheers

David
