Win98 boots up very slowly...
Last week I fooled with my LinkSys LNE100 network card. Now WIN98 (1st
edition) boots very slow. It stays on the blank desktop for over 2 minutes, then the icons start to load and everything goes as normal. I reinstalled the network card drivers several times, did updated NAV scans, spyware checks etc. A boot log analysis shows Ndis2sup.vxd failed (but I read that's normal). This is not a ram problem or such. There must be some setting or conflict with something. I suspect that windows is having a hard time finding something (like a network ) at start up. Any ideas, either network or other? Thanks. Steve L |

Win98 boots up very slowly...
I've shortened boot time considerably on Win98 by turning DHCP off and
setting a static IP. Home networks typically use 192.168.0.X (pick X). Be aware that whatever the NIC is connected to (e.g. router, modem, etc) may also need to be properly configured.

In the network properties, Client for Microsoft Networks properties, make
sure that you have selected Quick logon rather than Logon and restore network connections under Network logon options. That way the system does not attempt to establish a session with other computers on the network until you attempt to access one. PattyL "Steve L" slupardi at comcast dot net wrote in message ...

Thank you for the suggestion. I have already made the Quick Logon setting
but still no help. Any other ideas are welcome. Steve "PattyL" wrote in message ...

Can you tell me briefly how to turn off DHCPand adding a static IP address.
I assume it's thru the Network settings in control panel. Thanks. Steve "mdp" wrote in message ... I've shortened boot time considerably on Win98 by turning DHCP off and setting a static IP.

Without knowing how you're set up, it may be a case of trial and error.
However if you want to experiment, try this site - the addresses are typical of home networks: http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.as...ral-Networking "Steve L" slupardi at comcast dot net wrote in message ...

I have tried the suggestions on the link with the static IP address, but no
luck. Still 3 minutes to start up once the blank desktop appears. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks. Steve "mdp" wrote in message ...

There is a way to measure how long everything takes to boot. The
application that collects the information from bootlog.txt is called bla.exe. Unzip the following download: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Troy...wnLoad/Bla.zip More info from the same site: http://www.geocities.com/~budallen/bootboot.html Follow the instructions here under "Using Bootlog Analyzer": http://www.greatis.com/webhelp/regru...g_analyser.htm Good luck.

Have you tried reinstalling the device in Device Manager? If you want to do
it you must go to safe mode, delete it and boot to normal. Check the Device Manager in normal mode first to see what you have, you may even find that you have some "ghost duplicate" entries in safe mode. When Windows reboots from safe mode, it will go through a process identifying any new hardware etc and reinstall it. Suggest you insert your Windows CD rom in the reader before going to safe mode, cancelling the auto install. When windows restarts it will look for drivers for the "new" hardware and reinstall.

MDP,
I am using BLA.exe and set it to show delays. There are about 15 items from ..278 seconds to the highest of 10.778 seconds (IFSHLP.SYS). Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks.
