Hello people,

a late reply, but I hope it can help anyway.
I am experiencing problems with Windows 98 SE startup too. Everything worked perfectly, 
but suddenly Windows takes a few minutes longer to startup. There is a sudden 'pause' 
just between the windows background is shown, and the taskbar and desktop icons are 
shown.
I also used "Boot Log Analyzer" and found some very long loading times. For example: 
38.772 for InitDone = TSRQuery.
However.....
When looking at the plain bootlog.txt file in, for instance, notepad, the lines look 
like this:

[000D5F87] Loading Device = C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS

Now, the [000??????] part must have something to do with the time, and I guess this 
is where BLA calculates the duration from.
But there are a number of lines just before the "Init = TSRQuery" line without the 
"[000?????]" part.
Maybe that's why the time appears that long. That in reality the time displayed is 
the time it takes to execute the whole part without [000?????] in front of them.

Does anyone know if I'm correct?
