Re: Extremely slow startup
If the complete boot is taking a little over two or maybe three
minutes, that's pretty par for the course. You could do some
research on stopping unnecessary tasks from loading at boot to
speed it up a little, but it will never be as fast as the older
versions of windows.

My computer boots up fine up to the point where it loads
explorer.exe. When
its loading, I find the taskbar and start menu are "locked up"
and My
Computer, Network Places, etc display empty folders. My
Documents however is
fine. After about 2 minutes, the system tray loads and my
laptop is fully
functional again. Whats causing such a slow startup? I'm
running XP SP2. Any
help is greatly appreciated!
