Re: SLOW BOOT - NEED ADVICE

OK. The APPLICATION window gives me TWO yellow warnings: both: userenv.

The first is error 1524. Takes 4 seconds to move to the next item. The
message says that the Registry cannot unload my Classes Registry File which
is still in use by other services.

The second is 1517. Takes 2 minutes 40 seconds to move to the next item!!
Message says that: "Windows saved user snip/owner registry while an
application or service was still using the registry during log off. The
memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be
unloaded when it is no longer in use. This is often caused by services run
as a user account. Try configuring the service to run in either the
LoacalSESrvice or Network Service Account.


The SYSTEM windows is a solid block of RED warnings. Error 7001 ; Service
Control Manager. Message says that Remote Access Connection Manager
service depends on the Telephony service which failed to start because of
the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is
disabled or because it has no enabled device associated with it.

What now, please.

Thank you.

Check both System & Event logs. Sometimes at boot a Service will
attempt to start and time out ( ~30 Seconds ). Best to clear both of
the logs and reboot then re-check. This way you get an idea of what
Events are being logged in a normal boot sequence.
Click Start, Run ( Type ) EventVwr.Msc [Enter]
Expand each log and scan the Right Pane for red icons that denote
error(s).
*Norton presents it's own system issues, but if that's your personal
security software preference you have to accept the performance
loss it inflicts.

One more comment. The problem DID NOT start with SP3. The office
computer was slow to boot before adding SP3.

I have two identical Gateway Computers (home and office) with identical
software loaded on both. (Windows XP; SP3). Norton AV. Adobe Acrobat.
MS Office 2003. Windows Defender. Other usual stuff. Both registries
cleaned up. Hard disks defragged. Scan and boot functions turned off
NAV and Defender.

The home computer boots in a reasonable amount of time.

The office computer takes about 5 minutes with the disk light on steady
for the full time.

Where do I start looking to find the office computer problem? Are there
*.logs that will help? Any thoughts based on experience? Note that
once the office computer is up and running, it is fine.

Thanks.
