I have a question about Things
that slow down system bootup:
I've been working on a pc down the hall from me for the past couple of days, and
I'm stumped.
the background of this pc:
It was upgraded from win 3.1 to win 95
800mhz processor, plenty of ram
problem:
whenever a user tries to log on to windows, it will take up to 4 minutes for the
desktop to load. I originally thought this was a Lan related problem and removed
all sorts of references to non existent paths from any windows startup files and
the registry. Still slow. I defragged, scandisked, and freed up quite a bit of memory,
still no luck. I at last booted up without the lan card and users could log into
windows quickly as a normal 800mhz computer should (in seconds). When the lan card
went back into the machine, slow logins again. So I checked the device drivers and
checked for device conflicts (conflicting irq's, interrupts, ect...) and found none.
As far as I can tell, everything should be working perfectly, but it surely isn't.
So my question is this: Why the slow user logins to Windows?
