slugish boot

[dennisthe12c]

My problem is similar to the log-on problem of madrussian (a few posts down) except in my case I boot quickly to the desktop but there is a 1 minute delay before anything will respond. In the 'msconfig' menue I have everything disabled under startup but under services there are 75 enabled (all microsoft). I am unsure which I need to leave enabled as awhile back I started disabling some of them and I ran into quite a few problems. Any input would be appreciated. This is a 2 month old computer (I made) with a fresh install of XP Home+service Pk 1.

Yeah, there are way too many possible reasons for this situation. You don't say if this was gradual or a sudden slow-down...

hi i have the same probleme as you!!!do you have adsl...i assume so. well i found out that if you take out your network or modem cable before booting up , everything loads quicker. just put your cable back in after. I knoww its a long way around but i have found no other way around the problem. still looking.......

somethiing to do with windows xp pro/2000 network checks.....

Why is there always problemes with windows?

Try removing the Registry key mentioned under "<A HREF="http://www.iamnotageek.com/articles.php?aid=10&page=8" target="_new">Share browsing speedup</A>". This has been effective for many users.
