Boot delay (SP2 related?)

[Dave G]

Hi Group...

I've recently installed SP2 over XP Home which seemed to go okay.

But... I now seem to have developed a boot delay of about 10 seconds AFTER
the Windows loading screen finishes.

Any thoughts?

And thanks in advance

I just happened to be in the right place at the right time to see what
Plato wrote in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general and:

Now that's a useful site...

I'll have a trawl through. Thanks for the prompt response
