still very very slow

Windows XP Home, no SP

HP Pavillion 530
Athlon 1.4 GHZ

The owner may have upgraded to XP SP1 before the problem
began. The PC had shipped from HP with XP, no SP.

Computer was hanging at shutdown. In an effort to fix it,
the owner ran a non-destructive restore [ an HP tool, not
XP's system restore ]. Now, even in safe mode, the machine
takes over 2 minutes to open the control panel.

I ran the HP SP1RcvryFix.exe & the 811493 patch, but the
problem persists.

I tested the memory. It tests fine. Hard drive passes
diagnostics.

No viruses per Norton & Panda. I slaved the hard drive
into my bench PC.

Spyware will not run in safe mode, so I'm not addressing
that issue at this point.

sfc /scannow found no problems.

When I ran chkdsk at re-boot, I received this
message: "cannot open volume for direct access". Per
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823439 , this is a
known problem. Microsoft states they are working on a
solution. No, Zone Alarm is not installed on the
comptuer.

So, I searched for a solution to the "cannot open volume"
issue, and found an entry at e-e, to run chkdisk /x . Ta
Da. That forced chkdsk to run.

Unfortunately, this PC is still very slow. After clicking
on the "start button, it takes [ really, I"ve timed it! ]
over 2 minutes for the start menu to appear.

I would like to avoid a destructive restore.

Assuming an App, eg IE also takes time to load
http://www.dependencywalker.com/ may help in identifying problem

I ran dependency walker, with sfc.exe & explorer.exe
[ windows ]. Thanks. DW indicated that a problem with
efsadu.dll exists. Efsadu.dll was not on the hard drive.
I am unable to locate a source for it.

But thanks for recommending DW. I learned a lot.

I had run sfc /scannow , 2 days ago, but no problems were
found.

Oh well.

Thanks.

Ok. Thanks for the information about edsadu.dll .

I don't know how that helps me resolve the issue of the
missing file.

Maybe some one had previously installed the XP encryption components?
