Question Re: XP Start-up & Shutdown

Hi All

Have Win XP Home & SP2, lately having a really slow starup and shutdown, shutdown can take up to 60 seconds boot-up a bit quicker, any ideas why?


Cheers, eskimo

Go here and mainly pay attention to steps 5 and 9. The other steps will help also, but 5 and 9 deal with the issue you have, slow boot and shutdown.

That's great news. A lot of people don't let us know if our ideas were any good. It's nice to see an issue resolved.
