Hi,
I run XP Pro with P4 2 GA and 1 gig of DDR ram. Desktop
appeared within 35 seconds but it take another 50 seconds
to load Norton system Works 2003, Asus PC Probe and
Audigy Remote control (a total of 39 running processes
during startup).
I remember the first time I setup my PC, it only took 20
seconds to load the XP OS (no other stuffs)
Anyway, I think it is reasonable to take 1 to 2 minutes
for a complete windows startup.
May be you can run msconfig and disable NAV during
startup for a faster boot up and start NAV manually .
