Very slooooow boot XP pro SP2

[Christian Borchgrevink-Lund]

Booting til log-on-screen is OK. But after log-on, it takes ages... Is
there any place I can see what is loaded and what takes time?

There may be lots of reasons behind slow booting.

What CPU processor speed? What RAM memory?

Are there any error messages / clues in the system section of Event
Viewer?

Make an exact note of the precise text of any error message. Minor
discrepancies can
make it harder to search for information about the error message.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer.
When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event
ID, Source
and Description are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the
error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two
pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your
message
(email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the
info from the
Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make
sure this is
the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.

Hope this helps.
