What errors appear in Event Viewer?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in the
System and Application logs in Event Viewer relating to the last boot in
normal mode . No Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate
which also appear in a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

Hope this helps.

My home pc is booting up very slowly up to 3 minutes from pressing
the power button to desktop.

I have tried various things like,

Removing as many programs from the start menu as I can (via msconfig),

Removing all programs from quick launch,

Defragmenting both drives,

Cleaning the discs and registry via ccleaner,

checking for spyware,

Changing the setting in NOGUIBOOT in BOOTINI in system config aswell
as the timeout from 30s to 10secs.
Running bootvis,

I tried booting up with zonealarm switched off it made no difference,

After all this, this morning it took 21/2 minutes from pressing the
power button to all the icons and taskbar being ready on the desktop.

When it first boots the screens with the text flashes past quickly,
POST screen?
then the screen with the white lines along the bottom, the lines fill
up pretty quickly then it will stay like that until the time from
pressing the power button is about 1 minute 5 seconds.
(I apologise as I dont know the correct term for this screen).
Windows is loading will come on and then the desktop, icons first
then the task bar. When I booted up this morning this took about 2
1/2 minutes!


I have seen so many hints tips and tweaks on various forums on the
net I'm not sure what to do now! I read somewhere that Microsoft
suggest 30s boot up on xp home, I have seen videos on youtube of 8s
boot up on xp, I'd be delighted with 30s and happy just to get below
a minute.

Can anyone help?

System spec:

Mesh matrix

2 drives

1 60gb with xp home sp3 installed 30% free capacity

1 x 80gb 60% free capacity

Not connected to any home networks (does connect to 2 work networks
via vpn)

Using AVG 8

Zonealarm.
