re: Question about 'Things that slow down system bootup' Friday, December 10, 2004 at 8:09 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by ziha79 (2 messages posted) I had a problem where my machine took about 3 to 5 minutes to boot up with XP. It turned out that the problem occurred with a conflict in my network connections between the broadband connection (created when installing software provided by my internet provider) and a network connection associated with my ethernet card. I solved the problem by going into device manager, right clicked on the ethernet card under network adapters and properties. I then deselected the all the boxes that were checked that contained TCP protocols etc. Now rebooting takes less than 30 seconds! I believe the problem developed following one of the XP updates.
