Prefetching

[Mike]

My system takes over 2 minutes to boot up. I just ran
bootvis.exe and it shows that 55 seconds are being used
for "prefetching". I understand that prefetching is
supposed to speed up the boot process, but in my case it
is definitely not helping. Is there any way to turn off
prefetching? Thanks for your help.

P.S. I have been to blackviper.com and he says com + event
system is tied to prefetching. I have it disabled, could
that possibly cause the long prefetch time during bootup?
