The Intel inside splash screen again lasts 2+mins i/o 1 sec and now after having all Symantec software supposedly removed I get a warning screen on opening a piece of 16 bit software which advises:"C:\PROGRAM~1\Symantec\S32EVNT1.DLL An installable Virtual Device driver failed DLL initialization. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application". I choose 'Ignore' and the application runs OK.
(1) How to fix the exhaustingly long dwelling splash screen?
(2) There must still be some Symantec reference lurking somewhere perhaps in the registry?

With regard to the long lasting Intel "splash" screen the Pheonix bios is set to Quick Boot enabled but I suspect that the splash screen perhaps precedes the boot sequence?
I can't find any reference to the aforementioned .DLL file by search, is it loading because of a registry entry?
