When I boot up in XP, it takes over 15 minutes for the
welcome music to kick in. Until then, most of the
programs are un available..Help
 
Rod: Is this machine on a LAN? I have much the same
question and MS has no answer. I am using a 2000 server
and all of the XP machines take @ 5 minutes to boot to
the desktop. Before joining the domain the boot process
on a machine is normal but once joined to the domain the
XP (Professional) system is "coffee time" booting.
Anyone have any ideas. My Guess is Policies but
where,what,when......?

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the

two

Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make sure
this is
the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.
