XP Pro boot log
 
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?


:sad:

mini,

It could be trying to log onto the network and it is trying to access a domain and/or server.

I would change the network from a domain to a workgroup first to see if that fixes the load times.

Take Care,

Richard

I've changed to a workgroup but unfortunately no improvement. One thing that might help is that while its booting up, I can launch files stored on the desktop, the task bar etc won't respond though, as the cursor is moved over it the hourglass appears?

Thanks

If you're booting the lappie stand-alone then boot to F8 (Advanced Start-Up Options) and enable "boot logging" - this will create a text file called NTBTLOG.txt which you can read using any text editor.

mini,

Also try deleting your network protocols and putting them back in again.

Take Care,

Richard

I've no idea why it should suddenly start to boot slowly, and I'll leave the possible networking issues aside as I'm not a networking whizz, but you could try a couple of things to look at the lap top itself (worth a try at least).

Firstly, have you tried msconfig? If not, open up a run box and type msconfig into it. Click on the start up tab and check to see if anything has crept in their that maybe shouldn't have.

Secondly, again not a miracle cure I suspect but worth a try at least, pay a visit to http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm and see if you can cut down on the number of drivers and services that are loading with XP. There is a safe option which I'd recommend and, as you're planning on using the networking features I wouldn't disable any of the associated services without remembering how to re-enable them should anything go wrong.

I've also found on the web the following advice to remedy what is a known bug with XP networking, and it only seems to pop up every once in a while. Apparently mrxsmb.sys doesn't always load correctly, leading to very very long boot times. The fix is simple - disable and then re-enable file and printer sharing as follows (apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs here by the way) :

1. Alt-click (or right click) on Network Places > Properties
2. Alt-click on Ethernet Adaptor connection > properties
3. Un-check "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" > OK
4. reboot
5. If you need file or printer sharing, repeat the above, re-check the box and re-boot again.

If all of this fails download a little app called "BootVis" and that'll show you precisely what's taking up your boot time. It's produced by Microsoft and you can get it directly here : http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/utils/BootVis.exe

Hope all of this waffle helps :)

mini,

Try uninstalling Norton and see what happens.

Take Care,

Richard

Sorted.

Not sure what the problem was, other than installing a "safe" services fix from blackviper.com did the business. Machine now back to its best.

Many thanks to all for your time and assistance.

A very happy mini :ok:

mini,

That is great news! :ok:

Take Care,

Excellent news - hope I was of some use :ok:
