My machine is homebrew, with 2.67 gig P4, Gig of mem, 128 meg 8x video, etc. The machine has always booted from cold off to the Win xp pro desktop in less than 35 seconds
Well, one day I noticed that animations were no longer playing on internet pages (I use IE6, animations turned on). I couldn't figure out why the animations were not playing, so I falsely assumed a problem with IE6 OR Winxp, so I re-loaded SP1a (dumb idea, I know) thinking that might fix the problem. Guess what.....that reloading of SP1A has now caused a delay of 1 minute and 40 seconds from turn-on until I get to the desktop icons. Same symptoms as many of you are posting. By the way, it turns out that the reason that animations were not working on web pages was that I (yes I) had turned off animations in ZONE ALARM and had forgotten all about it. So, the fix was simple, however now I can't get the delay out of the boot up sequence. I have reloaded winxp and sp1a and have applied all of the critical updates. No help.
In the event log, the only error I am getting now is with Workstation Services. I cannot start this service, I get a message like
Event Type: Erro
Event Source: Service Control Manage
Event Category: Non
Event ID: 702

Description
The Workstation service terminated with the following error:
The specified module could not be found.
I cant even start Workstation Services manually. Can anyone help with either of these two issues, probably related
Tnx
