Hi All,

I seem to wait an inordinate amount of time for XP (Pro) to load....

Is there any way I can log the boot up sequence (with times) to capture
the service or program responsible for the slow load time ??

Thanks,

Neil
 
Hi Neil,

Boot logging is performed when the computer is started with any of the Safe
Boot options except Last Known Good Configuration. The Boot Logging text is
recorded in the Ntbtlog.txt file in the %SystemRoot% folder.

Clean boot troubleshooting is going to be key to troubleshooting this.
