I could really use some help with this peculiar issue. About half of the time, my Pavilion with XP Pro will boot from "switch on" to a useable desktop in about 45 - 50 seconds. During the other half, it can take several minutes. What's causing this & how can I fix it?
It appears that the long part of the delay occurs during the ?BIOS? (what is it really called?) black screen activity. Once it gets past the black screen - to the Windows XP screen &/or the Welcome to Windows screen - it moves quite fast.
This leads me to believe that the issue is probably not due to the services or other software startups which occur during the windows startup.
Your help will be much appreciated. Best regards
