Regarding hanging on wlnotify.dll during Windows XP startup / logon, and slow startup: on my XPPRO SP2 machine I have been working on an unrelated issue concerning my USB drivers. I noticed that when I disabled my USB drivers that my machine no longer took forever to reboot. When enabled, the long boot time returns. During boot with the USB drivers enabled I noticed that during wlnotify.dll processing that my external USB drives were being accessed for long periods. I have 5 external USB drives, and Im about to upgrade to a USB2.0 / Firewire controller as USB V1.x is a bit too slow for such a large drive field.
