XP Slow Bootup

by trekki125 . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

I’m running XP Home SP2 with 1GB RAM and dual core 1.6gHz processors.

On startup, the system hangs at the Windows Splash Screen for nearly four minutes. Boot logging produced:

I’ve run chkdsk and defragmented multiple times.

Everything operates nominally once Windows loads.

*EDIT
My original post was incorrect. I misread the entries within the bootlog. It is not actually hundreds of lines long. I have corrected the post.

*EDIT
I thought my modification of startup processes, BOOT.ini, and WIN.ini through MSCONFIG may have played a part, but I returned all values to default. The issue is not resolved.

*EDIT
Booting to Safemode does not resolve the issue. Using the /SOS boot switch gives no helpful information.

*EDIT
Running the MS Bootvis “optimize boot” utility does not affect the situation.
