Starting Windows xp Pro

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Without any more info like how much ram, what progs are running, etc, the
only thing I can say that will guarantee results is to use turn on the
machine and then hit yourself with a tazer.

The momentary blackout will make it seem like seconds to you, but give the
computer several minutes (depending on the charge level) to start.
