Hi Folks,
I have talked to many experts on Window O/S and tried to look for answers in
Newsgroups and the Internet, but have not come up with the answer to my
problem, which has started about one month ago

I have Win XP pro, with the usual components on my PC (rather than go into
details)
Connected to a Broad Band ISP

When I boot or restart I get the screen up in just under a minute which is I
believe the average speed this should take.

Everything looks fine and normal except.................I can't do anything
for the next 2 minutes.
The drive seems to be searching for something and has little burst of red
flashes
Can't get email, surf, run any program.

I checked out all the processes in task manager and there are no programs
that I should not have runnign at startup ( I looked at
http://www.blackviper.com/AskBV/XP25.htm which is a very comprehensive site
on O/S and lists what each program does and whether or not it should/could
be manual, automatic or disabled

I checked in My Computer/manage/event viewer

and found these errors: These errors occur at every boot up, but I just
don't know if these are causing this problem or something more sinister

The server {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} did not register with DCOM
within the required timeout.

The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: ASPI32

AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO port address
(0xcfc), which lies in the 0xcf8 - 0xcff protected address range. This could
lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical
assistance.

I really hope some one can at last help and come up with a solution

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Bert,

Might take a while to isolate the problem, but the steps here should help:

HOW TO: Perform Advanced Clean-Boot Troubleshooting in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316434

I'd look to something like an indexing service as the culprit.

Hello!
Click to expand...
Solution to your 1st problem:-

Just Open up Regedit and search for the string
{FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} and modify the keys
InProc32 and LocalServer32 default key to a empty string.
After a reboot, Outlook Express will start up as quickly as
possible. See:
http://www.tweakxp.com/tweakxp/display.asp?id=108

solution to your 2nd problem:-

if you have an Adaptec SCSI controller, you can contact
Adaptec for an updated Aspi32.sys driver. For all other
SCSI controllers, including the HP supplied SCSI
controllers, contact your SCSI controller manufacturer or
Adaptec for information on obtaining an updated Aspi32.sys
driver.

1) Access Network Connections in the Control Panel
2) Select your Network Card for the high speed or LAN
connection.
3) Look for "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and Select it.
4) Click on the properties button.
5) Put a dot in the radio button for "Use the following IP
address". NOTE: If a dot already exists here than this
help procedure is not for you thus skip the rest of this
help.
6) Add the following: IP address:192.168.0.1 and Subnet
mask 255.255.255.0.


If the above does not fix the problem, see the Startup
Section on the following site:
