Boot
I've suffered from a slow boot for some time now. It
takes about five minutes to boot. The delay is waiting for the system tray to load. What loads is: -Volume -Callwave (internet answering machine) -Spyware Guard -AVG anti-virus -Zone Alarm Free -Lexmark printer I've run Bla.exe a number of times asking what to do. Sound drivers was the popular response. VIA is what I use. I downloaded the latest versions from the VIA site I was pointed to, removed current drivers in safe mode, pointed the system to the new drivers upon reboot, but still no joy. A recent visit to the Windows Update Catalog revealed newer drivers and new hope. Drivers listed a VIA - IC Ensemble, Inc. multimedia software update released on May 07 2003.

If I'm reading that right, looks like the normal M$ audio stuff is
taking a whale of a time to load... does your firewall report anything trying to go outbound ? Getting any resource conflicts in DeviceManager ? As far as which driverset to use... dunno, but they say that 4.3x is the sweet spot for VIA 4-in-1s for Win9x, if that helps any. Hmm... how does it run in SafeMode ? If OK, then I'd bet on "Callwave" gumming things up. Rick KB wrote: I've suffered from a slow boot for some time now. It takes about five minutes to boot.

Thanks, Rick.
Nothing going outbound in firewall. No conflicts in Device Manager. Safe mode runs ok since the systray doesn't load. What's perplexing about the bla log is that it loads all the audio components then removes them and notes them as "unknown". Why would it do that? Also, I have a VIA folder that is completely empty. Could the system be trying to load from there and not finding them? Could the BIOS be set incorrectly? Registry pointing to the wrong location? Quote: "As far as which driverset to use... dunno, but they say that 4.3x is the sweet spot for VIA 4-in-1s for Win9x, if that helps any." How do I find if 4.3x is what I'm using? How would I identify, from the list below, 4.3x should it not be what I have? Where should I download 4.3x to (i.e. specific folder on C: drive)? Thanks again, Rick. I'm off to the software forum to see why my new CD burner (Sony) works but the software included (Nero express 6) is so amazingly slow. If you thought by boot log was slow, you should see this program run ;-). -----Original Message----- If I'm reading that right, looks like the normal M$ audio stuff is taking a whale of a time to load... does your firewall report anything trying to go outbound ?

I thought so too, Harry. But when I disabled it in
startup, via msconfig, things were still slow. Something's just not right whether it be the registry, BIOS or whatever. What's perplexing about the bla log is that it loads all the audio components then removes them and notes them as "unknown". Why would it do that? Also, I have a VIA folder that is completely empty. Could the system be trying to load from there and not finding them? Could the BIOS be set incorrectly? Registry pointing to the wrong location? Thanks for the feedback, Harry. KB I'm off to the software forum to see why my new CD burner (Sony) works but the software included (Nero express 6) is so amazingly slow. If you thought by boot log was slow, you should see this program run ;-). -----Original Message----- "Callwave" is a good bet. Harry. "Rick T" wrote in message ... If I'm reading that right, looks like the normal M$ audio stuff is taking a whale of a time to load... does your firewall report anything trying to go outbound ?

www.viaarena.com carries a load of drivers. Get the right ones for your
chipset (of course); the later ones are called something else (can't remember right this minute) but the older ones are still called 4in1's. IIRC it was taking something like 140 seconds to load the audio components?... why not just use the M$ (default) ones and see what's up. Rick KB wrote: Thanks, Rick. Nothing going outbound in firewall. No conflicts in Device Manager. Safe mode runs ok since the systray doesn't load.

KB: I didn't read every word of these posts, but it looks to me there might be a conflict somewhere between your audio and video systems, since you installed a new CD Burner, as you say.
