I upgraded my desktop manager from an earlier 4.x version to 5.0 so I could upgrade my blackberry's os, but now when I start up my pc (windows xp service pack 3) Internet explorer 7 takes 2-3 min. to get to my home page, tried IE 6, opened with no add ons, disabled IE and tried using safari, but on a restart or cold boot, no browser will go straight to home page, just a blank page for 2-3 min., cleared history too. after opening IE I can click on it any time after the first boot and it pops right up with no problem. laptop is a Compaq Evo n620c, tried wifi and hardwired, I uninstall desktop manager 5.0, and IE 7 opens in about 5-10 sec's, don't think this will help but I have an 8330 from verizon, I have tried to go back to what I believe was 4.3 desktop manager and it still does the hang up on start up or reboot. Did the full uninstall reinstall suggested above in this thread and still having issues, please help thanks.

run - msconfig
startup tab
uncheck anything RIM or Blackberry related.
This should let the PC boot up quicker, allowing browsers to work faster.

I have done that, msconfig, I have unchecked everyone of the startups with no avail, I have deleted the prefetch files, the only thing I could think of is it has to do with something with being on a network, maybe some option that is telling bb desktop software to be searching for something online, or a something to do with a registry key, but not sure how to check and change these settings with out completely screwing up my pc, any other ideas would be appreciated, thanks

Fixed it, I ended up going to run, msconfig, clicked on the services tab, checked the box at the bottom that says "hide all microsoft services", then unchecked all services that I know I do not need to run in the background when my pc is running, this is where you need to know what processes you need to be running or your computer won't run well, so do this at your own risk, if this is happening to other people, try deleting stuff out of your startup folder or uncheck items in the startup tab under msconfig first before going into the service tab, one day I might actually one by one figure out which process was slowing the boot of local connections when BB desktop is installed, just glad it is working well now
