My slow bootup problem

J

Original request

"I am having a problem when I boot my computer using windows XP. Everything
boots ok and the desk top appear in less than 30 seconds. Bootvis shows
everything loaded in 22 seconds however at this point the hard drive keeps
running for an additional 50+ seconds and the last thing that loads is Zone
Alarm. Even if I disable Zone Alarm I get the 50+ seconds of disk activity
after everything appears to have loaded. Does anyone have any idea what
could be causing this? TIA



Joe"


I have some additional information related to the slow boot up problem I
have been having even though I don't have a solution yet.

Upon looking at ntbtlog.txt I find that I have 44 pages of boot activity
with about ¼ of the log consisting of "Loaded driver" and the other ¾ of
"Did not load driver". See example below. Also the drivers that did not load
kept repeating over and over like maybe they timed out before they got
loaded. Is that Possible? Also the computer appears to run great after the
boot is complete even though a lot of the drivers appear to never get
loaded.

I would be forever grateful for any help in this matter.

My pc also boots within 25 secs and continues with hard drive activity
afterwards. I don't think that means anything is wrong. Quite normal really.
