Got the latest drivers from Dell, does not affect the startup time. Maybe
it
is time to let it be unless you have another suggestion.

Thanks

was told the setup program could not locate drivers that are compatible

my current hardware. looking further I found a Nvidia note saying that
because I have a laptop the hardware is very specialized and laptop maker
is
the place to go for drivers. I'm off to Dell.com to look for drivers.
I'll
post when I have an update, thanks.

then Graphics Driver -> GeForce and TNT2 -> Windows XP/2000

should work according to text above asI don't think there's specific
driver
for that onboard (laptop) GPU

Nvidia GeForce4 440 GO

NVIDIA Driver 4/7/2004 Version: 5.6.7.3

I went to the Nvidia site and found no more recent drivers. Windows
Device
Manager and Windows Update found no more recent driver either.
Thanks.

Before I did the clean reinstall of Win XP Prof I did not
encounter
this
delay. I'd like to try to determine its cause and correct the
situation.
Any suggestions are very welcome. Thanks.

I performed a clean reintstall of Win XP Prof. I am getting a
long
blank
screen pause between the "Win XP blue indication bar" screen
and the
"enter
user password" screen. I assume the Win is looking for
something or
wiating
for some response or loading something during this time. Is
there
any
way
I
can watch exactly what application or process Win is
loading/executing
during
starup? I've cleaned/defragged and gone through all the
stratup
items
in
msconfig.exe yet this continues. I have many many processes
running
after
the computer is started and not knowing what they are or how
they
got
loaded
makes stopping them difficult or even dangerous to the proper
functioning
of
my computer. After the startup my computer is performing well.
