Let me try some answers:<br>

No errors<br>

My TS Licensing server is the same box as the Windows server
running my applicatios, so I don't think there should be any
delays in license checking ... unless the TL Server is really
broken. But I would rule-out this possibility since the "bad"
behavior is really unstable ... something the Thinlinc-ed
application works, sometimes it doesn't.<br>
This is a test system, no other concurrent sessions, no other
users connected.<br>
<br>
>If this doesn't help, it could be a problem with device

non-working sound card can cause such an effect.
<br>
How can I check that?<br>
<br>
>I assume that the "circle" before "Preparing your desktop"

<br>
Correct, the circle turns.<br>
<br>
I attach two process listings, HTH:<br>
<ol>
<li>ps_1.txt<br>
Process list when everything is OK<br>
Then I try to start Firefox and it does get stuck<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>ps_2.txt<br>
This is the new process list while Firefox is hanging<br>
</li>
</ol>
Cheers,<br>

Yes, it could be a problem on the Windows side, for example with
the user profile. Are you using roaming profiles? Check out the
Windows Event Viewer and see if there are any errors.
<br>
<br>
Another common problem is the Terminal Services Licensing. By
default, it tries to automatically locate a licensing server,
which can take time and fail. It is typically better to enter the
DNS name of the license server.
<br>
<br>
If this doesn't help, it could be a problem with device
redirection. For example, I think I've seen in the past that a
non-working sound card can cause such an effect.

I assume that the "circle" before "Preparing your desktop" still
moves?

A lot of times I'm getting stuck during client initialization,
that is I'm not able to bypass the "Preparing your desktop ..."
stage during startup of a Windows application.
<br>
<br>
What I see is either of the screens you can see in the
attachment, and nothing happens any more.
<br>
<br>
My feeling is that there is some problem on the Window side of
the story, some unavailable resource or some kind of traffic
gridlock on the Windows server that prevents my application to
startup correctly. This is not systematic, sometimes my
applications run in a matter of seconds ... it's just
unpredictable.
<br>
<br>
Is there any way to figure out what the problem is, and try to
fix it or do some workaround (i.e. killing stuck processes or
whatever)?
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,
<br>
<br>
