Re: boot up, win xp



nvidia is no loss.

Notification area icons are missing at startup.

Try disabling the SSDP Discovery Service and the Universal Plug and Play
Device Host service.

Hi when i boot up win xp on my computer it takes a couple of minutes to
get to the point where everything is loaded.The desktop comes up right
away but I have to wait for a min or so to start using windows. My tray
icons for my antivirus and nvidia card dont load to tray anymore. I have
a DSL modem with a random ip from verizon , is that what slowing the boot
up?

A couple of months ago I changed my mobo from nv3 to nv4 pci-e but used
the same harddrive with old winxp. I just reinstalled the chipset and
graphic drivers. I had the slow boot with the other mobo too.

Is there a way I can speed up my boot time because I frequently cant
resume from suspend to ram standby due to monitor not powerout of
standby. Thanks

Peter
