I spend my time globe trotting with a large organisation.
I have a new laptop running XP Pro. P Mobile 1.7, 512 RAM etc.
The current location office IT section, at my request, configured it for their LAN. I do this in every office I visit. All LAN's are global standard so each LAN is identical except for IP addresses, user name etc. I have had no problems in the last seven years or so.
Shortly after I arrived here, it became obvious that the IT section was weak. I requested a desktop and refused to connect the laptop to the LAN (long story)
The desktop works fine, but my laptop now takes almost three minutes to boot (stand alone) following the ctrl-alt del screen.
Can anyone offer advice as to how I may weed out whatever is causing this? Is there a way to log the boot sequence so I might identify what is causing this?
