Slow boot up

[Rick \Nutcase\ Rogers]

Hi glenn,

My computer boots up like it has 5kb Ram it takes 20 minutes to get
through windows xp startup screen.

Well, assuming you *could* load XP on only 5k of ram, it'd be more like 20
hours than 20 minutes <g>. Try the steps here:

This could be caused by many things - hardware and/or software.

Then do come back and repost with all necessary details. There are lots

you have to give us something with which to work.
