By ‘cleaned’, did you mean removing the myriad of pk3 files? Because they’re not removed during un-installation. These files could be the source of your problem.

What do you mean? You get stuck at “Awaiting connection”, or is it the map loading that takes a long time?
Defrag HDD, and check how much physical memory you have available before starting ET.

It would be convenient to post your full system specs also 
Anyway try the following what lots of people do after ‘re-installing’ et is placing their config back 
this is a comon mistake, make sure its not your ‘tweaked’ config 
als check the following:
You don’t have a virus/spyware(scanner) running when playing ET.
Your pagefile is set appropriate.
Not sure on this one:
Did you change your resolution and or detail setting?

Ok reninstalled again nd used default config… this time it stays at awaiting connection… and jumps right to the limbo menu. I am not running any scanners while playing, or did i change any detail settings at all, havent touched them in months. CPU useage is about 2% before I load et.
pagefile is to do with ram?
Pentium 4 2.80 ghz
512 ddr
Geforce 440SE 128mb
80gb hd
