Slow booting for XP

[Greg]

Hello.

I have Windows XP home edition on a Gateway machine with
a 1000 MHz processor and a 20 gig hard drive.

Windows XP has been slow to bootup from the day we got
the machine; once it is ready, however, the processing
speed is actually very fast.

Is there anything I can do to get XP to load more
quickly? Gateway suggested that I check the bios settings
to see if quickboot was enabled. I did, and it was.

So now what? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

You could try Microsoft's Bootvis. It may help determine what's causing
the slow boot.
