Hi,
My wife is running XP on an older Thinkpad (T20). Whenever she boots there
is a long pause or delay in the process at the "Windows is starting up"
screen. Delay is usually at least a minute, with some very sporadic light
disk activity during that time. Once she gets past that, it boots normally.
She is running SP2 now, but the problem was there before that (I was hoping
SP2 might fix it). Thinkpad is connected to a home network via a wireless
card. Have changed the card recently as we upgraded to 802.11G - still the
same behaviour.
I've tried looking in the MS KB but have found nothing that addresses this.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
