XP Boot up

[Lou Cypher]

Recent upgrade of M board, CPU and HD. Boot up to show desktop is reasonably
quick but before any programmes become operable its taking 20-30 minutes.
They then work at acceptable speed. Any clues? I can't easily re-install
windows as the disk appears to be corrupted: numerous dll files will not copy.

Upgrading a motherboard normally requires a repair install.

Also, are all your hardware drivers installed?

If your disk or file system is corrupted then you need to fix it before
doing anything else.

When you swap a motherboard you'll need to do a repair install.

like tim said do a repair install and also set system file checker to run
weekly to be sure all .dll files are in perfect condition. the command for
system file check is
start,run,sfc /scannow you will mostlikely need the xp disk in drive if .dll
files are not in order.
