Windows XP Pro - When windows explorer or my computer opens, it takes 45
seconds of the flashlight bit before it finds hard drives. Anyone run into
this before?

Any Error Report in Event Viewer? Is this a new phenomenon?

Make an exact note of the precise text of any error message. Minor
discrepancies can
make it harder to search for information about the error message.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer.
When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event
ID, Source
and Description are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the
error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two
pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your
message
(email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the
info from the
Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make
sure this is
the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.

Gerry -- After checking Event Viewer, I found the following:

"Windows Image Acquisition Service hung on starting."

Thanks for your answer, I'm trying to research WIAS now.
