EVENT_BOOT_SYSTEM_DRIVERS_FAILED

[Guest]

My System (Win XP Pro SP2)has been very slow in Logging Off or ShutDown since
some 2 weeks ago.
No Viruses or adware were found in a scan.
Windows Updates are all installed.

A peep in the Event Viewer showed this error:
Version: 5.2
Symbolic Name: EVENT_BOOT_SYSTEM_DRIVERS_FAILED
Message: The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
%1

Explanation
The specified drivers did not load correctly. The driver might not be in the
expected location.

Hi - wanted to acknowledge and thank you three for replying and offering
suggestions. I am still grappling with this nagging problem but it's taking
more time than I thought.
