Windows Boot-up Delay

Guest

For some time now I've had a boot-up delay on my PC that I cannot seem to fix
or find the cause for. When I start my PC, I see the BIOS screen for a
split-second, I see the Windows XP Professional Loading screen, then I get a
blank screen for about 60 seconds during which there is little indication
that my PC is doing anything (even the hard drive activity seems
non-existent) before it finally continues loading Windows and comes to the
Logon screen.

Upon reviewing the Event Viewer System Logs, I've found a recurrant event
during every boot. About a minute after the Event Viewer service is started,
the first event listed is this error message:

Source: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7000
Description:
The Winmodem service failed to start due to the following error:
Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I've followed the Help and Support Center link, but it hasn't provided much
insight. I did, however, follow one instruction from that link which was to
run an SC Query on the failing service. The resulting WIN32_EXIT_CODE is
1450. I do not know what this indicates, but that is all the software
related data I know how to collect regarding this problem.

I personally don't see how there could be a resource problem. The specs of
my PC are as follows:

CPU: Pentium 4 2.53GHz
Memory: 1.00 Gb of RAM
OS: Windows XP Professional with SP 2 (this problem existed before SP 2)
HD: 114.4 Gb Total, 17.13Gb Free, 4096Mb Paging File
Video: ATI Radeon 9600 XT AGP with 128Mb RAM

If anyone has any clues as to how I can get my PC to load all at once as it
should and eliminate this error situation, I'm all ears. Thanks.

Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

Your system specs are irrelevent. Try removing/updating/roll back your winmodem driver.
