Start up

[wilf]

since installing an HP all in one and installing AOL 7.0
it takes ages for XP to start. Its almost like its booting
and then rebooting before I get all the desktop and
taskbar icons. I am talking about several minutes. Is
there a way to speed up the start up?

should be AOL 9.0 not 7.0
