Excruciatingly slow startup after SP2
I have noticed that on both my computers (Dell desktop with XP Home and IBM
Laptop with XP Pro), the start-up process has slowed remarkably after SP2 was installed. On my laptop, it now takes almost 4 minutes from the time the login password is entered until the startup process is completed! Is this normal with SP2 and how can the process be accelerated? |
Here is one suggestion see if this helps. I did hear of this issue with SP2
installed although that was an issue with long logon times when logging into Windows XP SP2 with a Domain account. Not sure if that is the case he http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;832161 But try setting your Event Viewer so that Events are overwritten as necssaary. For each of the type of events you right-click and choose Properties. Then you will see the options. To get to the Event Viewer easily go to the Control Panel | Choose Classic View | Administrator Tools | Event Viewer. -- George Hester _________________________________ "Sitara Lal" wrote in message ...

I have exactly the same slow startup problem. It takes over 4 minutes before
my PC is fully operational. Nobody seems to know how this can be solved... "George Hester" wrote in message ... Here is one suggestion see if this helps.
