since i re-installed XP Pro SP1, XP Pro is taking aout 5 minutes to open XP
after it boots and get to the 'XP Moving Eye', then it opens XP and works as
expected. it shuts down in a normal time.

all the gear is the same as the previous XP Pro install that worked as
expected.

any ideas?

thanks,

GrievousAngel
