Windows me slow bootup

OK, my *guess* is that the "SYSCRITINITFAILED=VIAGART" issue in the BLA
report is a 'red-herring', no longer relevant and can be ignored as it is
not taking valuable minutes during bootup. And, as I understand you, bootup
timing is no longer the problem.

The 'real' issue is this business of when you connect to the web and
something starts 'eating' your disk space.

I will refer you to Noel's 'standard' response for you to check out:-

===========================
You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to
remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from your system.

===================================

It is essential that you eliminate viruses/spyware/parasites/malware etc.,
issues before you start going down blind alleys g

Good luck

I am very sorry because I feel I did not make my situation very clear.
In fact, after I deleted some drivers and restored them. The computer
does not boot slow even though I checked or did not check box of
viagart.vxd. But the boot log warning is still there.

From my previous experences, the boot of computer changed slowly but
it did not stop changing. It was gradually slower and slower. So, I
guess that it is because of the boot log warning.

Now, there is another strange thing happens. At first, there are 1GB
free space in the C disk. When I used IE6.0 browse one website (It is
one of my favorite news website), I noticed a warning next to the
right bottom corner clock. It said I have no harddisk free space. Even
later I freed another 0.5 GB space, that warning still happened. I can
hear the sound of hard disk writing when I go to that website. And,
even I close that IE window of that website, everytime I check free
space of C drive, the free space still decreases(for example, 550MB,
350MB....162MB. This time the last number is 162MB). But everytime I
boot up my computer, the hard disk space will resume to its original
1.5 GB.


The free space decresed until several tens KB if I browse that
website. I have been browsing that web site for more that several
years. What causes this strange thing? BTW, I have checked the virtual
memory is managed by Windows Me. I have no virus experence in my
computer before, is it? Too strange!


Thank you very much.

Sorry, I can't tell you any more about your video card/adapter as I
don't
have any more information than you have (and we *may* have gone off at a
tangent) - I'm out of further ideas regarding the video device and begin
to
wonder wh etherthatisinfactcausingyouslowbootingissues.

However, I come back to an aspect of your initial problem, which you
didn't
comment on - if you are still having slow bootup problems, are there any
'excessive' timings shown by the BLA?
