? XP 45 minute boot

[Guest]

I have to stare at the "Loading personal settings" for 45 minutes before
Windows XP goes on to the rest of the boot sequence.

Shutting down takes just as long while XP tells me it's saving those
same personal settings.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks.

logon on safe mode, create a second account. logon with new account and see
what happen. also use regedit and see what on your runonce or run.

I'll give a second account a shot later. In the meantime I ran
Bootlogxp and got this (partial list). Is there anything I can do about
the long times? Thanks.

You have some serious issues with hardware drivers.

For example, AMDK8.SYS which is the driver for an AMD 64 bit CPU chip.

Did you perhaps migrate your Windows XP to a different computer or
change the motherboard without doing a Repair Install?

If not then go to your computer/motherboard manufacturer's web site
and download the latest drivers for your exact model number and
install these. That should help with at least some of these startup
delays.

Good luck

The computer is a Compaq Presario R3000. I haven't made any changes to
it, aside from installing various pieces of software, since I bought it,
so don't know why the problems just appeared one day.

Thanks for the tip - off to check the Compaq site.
