Win2K Slow Startup

by liaor . Updated 25 years, 3 months ago

My Win2K Professional used to startup relatively fast, but now it is really slow.

The slowdown is just before the logon screen, the point before it displays “Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to logon” (I set it to do that. That is normal.)

The status message says “Applying Security Policy…” and the system does some HD access that is in a pattern.

After a couple of minutes (3~5) (this step usually took at most 1 minute).

I checked the System Event Log and I get Event 2013, which states that “The C: disk is at or near capacity. You may need to delete some files. “.

Now, the funny thing is, my Win2K is on D:, not C:. Also, C: has 1.16 GB of 11.5 GB free. I have no virutal memory allocated to C:

What gives?

Thank you for your help.
