I am having a similar problem. Was this problem
resolved? If so, how? Thanks. -----Original Message----- -----Original Message----- jg wrote: Most of the time is before desktop appears. Here's sequence.

However, instead of Safe Mode, choose Step-by-Step startup. This will show you each step of the startup process as it runs. Press the Enter key to select the default value of each line, but note what the line is that's executing. Watch for any item that takes several minutes to execute. Tell us which item it was. -- Jim Eshelman, MS-MVP Windows http://aumha.org/ AumHa Forums: http://forum.aumha.org/ The Parasite Fight: http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm Computer Health: http://aumha.org/a/health.htm Troubleshooting: http://aumha.org/a/tshoot.htm Most of the wait time is before the boot menu can be accessed. F8 key won't bring up menu for several minutes after computer is turned on. . |
