Slow Windows XP start- At the logo, before signing in Saturday, November 25, 2006 at 9:02 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Polarbear1492 (1 messages posted) I have read many tips regarding slow starts after you log in and etc. My problem, however, is before all of that even starts. When I turn on my computer, it goes through all the POSTs and then proceeds to load XP. I get the XP logo with a blue bar that goes back and forth. This is where my problem lies. At this stage it takes around 20 seconds just to get to the sign in screen. The blue bar just keeps going while this happens. As soon as thats done, everything is fine. I'm sorry if I didnt do enough research, thank you in advance.
