i am using xp professional, and my computer takes a long time to fully boot up after i log in on the desktop screen. What makes it do that, and what program u think is making it do that. It takes a while to boot up and it doesnt let me go to my start menu on the lower left when i click on it while its starting up, or the lower right hand icon menu either.

[aroe79]

nope

it wasnt the dsl connection at all i still got the same crap, lol.

 

[aroe79]

yeah everything goes back to normal, im not sure whats the last program, i think its my macdrive program, and where is this event log?

 

[aroe79]

in the system one this shows up: Your computer has automatically configured the IP address for the Network Card with network address. then it gives an address. it shows up on every date there and sometimes on multiple times. in applications it shows up as red but its programs that i know have crashed not anything i dont know about.

 

[aroe79]

hello anybody out there knows how i can correct this?

 

[aroe79]

if ur talking about the driver that has the largest green bar its pwd_2k.sys, i dont know what that is. and i also have a multimedia(thats what it says). and below the pwk one there is one that says unknown?

 

[aroe79]

[aroe79]

arrrgghhh slow boot

anyone can help?

 

[aroe79]

thing as in when u go to run and type in msconfig. no luck there, its really killing me having to wait like half a minute to a minute so i can go to my start menu.

 

[aroe79]
