BootLog Analyser (BLA)
http://www.vision4.dial.pipex.com/

To do a logged boot, start the computer and hold down the CTRL key till the
Windows
98 Startup menu (boot menu) appears.
Use the arrow keys to select "Logged [/bootlog.txt]" and press Enter.


Hi Glee, and thank you for responding... )

I clicked the link for BLA, but it didn't work so I Googled, found and DL'ed
it. As to booting up holding the Control Key... tried that 3 times and it
just plain wouldn't do it. So, I booted up using F8, chose option 2, tried
3 times and it kept wanting me to go into Safe Mode. However, after all that,
I was able to find the bootlog.txt file (dated today) throug Find F&F. Ran
BLA but wasn't able to 'save' the log... tried to 3 times also. So, the only
other thing I could think of to do in reply to your request was copy and
paste the bootlog.txt in F&F here. (IF you say so.... It's as long as my
arm!!) The log that appears in BLA is much shorter, but as I said there
aren't any options to save the log as a whole. Hmmmm. What am I (or
whatever else it could be) doing wrong? I will go back now and attempt your
suggestions on the TS prob, and will check back here when I am finished with
that, to look for your response as to if you think I should post this mile
long bootlog.txt. to troubleshoot it.

Thank you once again, Glee... I SO appreciate your help!!

Oops! dead link....thanks for posting the good link in your other reply!
Do a logged boot, then in Windows, start BLA, check the Sow Delays and Show Failures
boxes, then click the File menu Save As. Give the report any name you like, save
the report as a text file on your desktop, then open it, copy and paste the contents
into a reply here.
