XP SLOW Boot

[eborys]

XP Pro SP2 - all drivers current
K8WE mb - 1.01T bios
2 x Optron 265 4gb ram
Raptor boot drives
Dual Boot - XP and XP64 - Sp64 boots FAST

SP Pro has a long delay. With splash screen disabled: Stuff happen
fast for a few seconds; the kernel msg about Build 2200, 4 processor
etc, etc appears a few seconds; then the screen goes black for abou
55 seconds.

Running BootLogXP:

Starts with smss.exe for 3 sec

When smss.exe ends, then csrss.exe starts and nothing happens for 5
seconds - this the 'black screen' time

Next is Winlogon.exe just before the end of csrss.exe

Everything else follows in quick succession.

I've done all the cleaners, compactors, checkers, etc, etc. Tried al
the recommended stuff I've been able to find on the web.

Please help,
e

Hi,

Csrss.exe in the system32 folder usually is a worm. See:

W32.Webus Trojan, Win32.Ladex.a and more.
