Slow Starting Internet
Outlook Express and Internet Explorer take more than a minute to load.
Rebooting will cure the condition for a limited time only. Any help or informed suggestions will be most welcome & thanks.

You don't say the operating system. Try clearing the History, Cach and cookies out in Internet Explorer 'here's a guide.' (http://webdesign.about.com/cs/intern...earcacheie.htm) Also check for Malware and Viruses. davy

Slow Starting Internet
No changes, etc. It just started taking forever to load the Internet
programs. Think I'll try disabling the McAfee firewall ? ...

But, just now it's not a problem, so I'll have to wait to try anything

Check Windows' Event Viewer for any errors, and try to find any other apps which don't respond. Generally long load times, opposed to internet connectivity problems, are caused by insufficient memory (so check memory use in Task Manager) or a failing hard drive or intermittent network adapter (so run HDD manufacturer diagnostics and when it won't load pull up a command prompt and check "ipconfig /all" and traceroute something common like "tracert google.com". You might also want to see if other similar types of apps have problems, for example temporarily install Firefox and Thunderbird and see if they work ok without the delay... though Firefox takes a moment longer to load the first time after boot since unlike IE the OS hasn't loaded half of it into memory during the OS boot... but by longer I mean a handful of seconds, not even 1 dozen on any system new enough to have been made in the WinXP era... but you didn't mention the system specs.
