I updated to the new version but am still seeing the following problem (on XP w/ Service Pack 3). When I log into my computer, I get my wallpaper, desktop icons quickly and then Yahoo Widgets loads (Weather, Battery, WiFi)… everything is smooth up until it tries to load SimpleMonitor – then my entire system “pauses” for about 2 minutes. Everything in my Task Bar / Systray loads except for the network connection icons. After about 2minutes, SimpleMonitor finally loads, and almost simultan…eously the Systray network icons also show up.
I’ve tried reinstalling Yahoo Widgets. I’ve done a full Defrag, CHKDSK,etc. If I disable or remove SimpleMonitor, my system logs in smoothly without any waiting. As soon as I turn SimpleMonitor back on, I get the 2minute pause again.
