HPSIM5 - Login slow/can't login

[Jeremy D Pavleck]

Greetings,
I have a fairly fresh install of SIM5.0 and seem to have an odd problem - it's tediously slow to login, or it doesn't work at all. The login page itself shows up very quickly, but after entering my login information and hitting "Login" it takes a loooooooooong time to actually login, then it responds very quickly. That's when I *can* actually log in that is.

I know the system is working because I'm receiving alerts to that effect, but logging in is horrible.
If I reboot, it works fine again for awhile - but I don't think an occasional reboot should be counted as an appropriate fix.

This is SIM 5.0 running on Windows 2003 Server, with all updates. It's connecting to an MS SQL 2000 server. Thanks.
