System hang at start up

[Elton, Ilona & Justin Wright]

Hi,

I am using XP Pro., and from approx 25 seconds after start up, after the
inital Windows screen with the flashing bar has disappeared, my system is
hanging for about 70 seconds (according to Bootvis).

Does anybody know why this would happen, and how I can get a faster system
start up?

In all it is taking me 105 seconds to boot, and I am getting a blank black
screen.

I have tried disabling Background Intelligent Transfer, but this has made no
difference.

Thanks,

Elton

Try going to Start>Run type: msconfig click Ok and select
Startup. Uncheck any programs you don't need to open
at Startup. Remove any CD Media and do a check for Malware. You can
use these free sites. Device drivers should be
updated and Windows Updates should be installed.
