BLA analyzes your Windows 95\98\ME BOOTLOG.TXT file and calculates the time
taken to load each driver etc, in order to help in locating any cause of
lengthy boot-up times. The displayed result can be sorted by loading
duration, filtered to show only those items with long durations or which
reported failure, and saved to a text file.
You need to create a new Bootlog.txt after installing BLA.
To create a new Bootlog.txt:
Reboot, hold down the Ctrl key right after the Post message
Select: "Logged \bootlog.txt" from the menu and continue.
On the BLA Toolbar, click the options: "Show Delays\Show Failures".
Next, click File - Save As (example - slowboot.txt)
You can then open slowboot.txt in Notepad and paste
the info from slowboot.txt into your next post.
From there someone can better advise on any problems.
