XP Home - SP2 upgrade causes excessive boot times
A friend just installed SP2 on a XP Home system, and now the boot time is
nearly 6 min. Any ideas what could be wrong? Would it be best to uninstall the SP2 upgrade or would this just cause further problems? Beacuse he didn't have DSL at home, I had him download the Network installation file on another PC, make a CD and install from that. Apparently the upgrade completed but something is wrong. |

XP Home - SP2 upgrade causes excessive boot times
It's probably OK, but due to SP2 installing and deleting a large number of
files, the hard drive may be heavily fragmented. Run Defrag on all your drives by going to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter. This should quicken up your machine a bit. "jch" wrote in message . .. A friend just installed SP2 on a XP Home system, and now the boot time is nearly 6 min. Any ideas what could be wrong?
