I've just used BootVis to see if it would improve the boot time of my laptop
(running XP Home SP2). BootVis ran fine but once finished and laptop
rebooted, several apps no longer load at startup. These include:

- Remove hardware (icon in sys tray)
- Bluetooth (icon in sys tray)
- The app that finds removable drives and asks what you wont to do
- Nokia connection app (icon in sys tray)
.... etc etc

I can't system restore as there isn't any previous restore points and
rebooting in safe mode or diagnosis mode doesn't help. I don't now what to
do. Please help.

Problem solved (I think)!

Running through all the services I found PnP to be disabled!?!?! And looking
in the Events viewer I found loads of errors that I sort of fixed but the
main thing is all the startup apps are now running.
