When I turn on the PC it boots normally up to the first
sight of the desktop and then becomes idle for 2-3
minutes before continuing startup and loading background
programs. I ran mscomfig,startup and eliminated some of
the startup programs, but this had no effect. I would
appreciate some help.
To avoid a duplicate thread, I have had the same prob for
4 mos. Post-boot drivers such as msexplore, waud, etc.
needed for sys readiness delay 2 minutes after boot
itself is complete. Notes:
- these drvr or refs to them do appear in the prefetch
file, but appear not to prefetch;
- bootvis has no effect on optimizing these post-boot
drvrs;
- unclear where these are supposed to be "post-boot"
loads, confirm?;
- the Defrag GUI does indicate a 2nd large immoveable
sector halfway up the HD, which may or may not hold these
drvrs;
- in once instance, before normal defrag, these drvrs
were suddenly loading within 2-3 sec after boot; after
defrag, back to the 2 min delay;
- no HD activity is indicated during the 2-min post-boot
delay, until they begin loading;
- if one waits at the login screen for the same 2+
minutes before loggin on, these drvrs will load
immediately after boot.
Mystery! No info anywhere on the 'net - help?
Email CC much appreciated, TIA.
