The only thing I can think of, Ivan, is that the slow enumeration loads may be audio 
for running programs in DOS which it is having difficulty loading - probably trying 
to detect something that isn't there, so the load is useless anyway.

See if you can find an audio enumerator under System Devices, and disable it. That's 
about all I can think of.
