JB,

Thanks for the quick response.

In fact the IBM MB is using the 845 chipset and I did load the video drivers
BEFORE the chipset.

So let me try to uninstall them and reload them with chipset first then the
video drivers

I do not understand the following statement you made...can you explain?

"Did you try boot vis to see what is holding up the load time?"

Thanks

RickD
