ectavares Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hi !I've made an unattended installation of windows xp with SP2.Everything works just fine except that when I start windows it takes at least 3 minutes to load complete.It shows the welcome screen and it freezes there for a couple of minutes then it changes to a blue screen where it stays for more a minute and a half.What should I do?is it normal?

CoffeeFiend Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 That's quite long. I'd look at the event log and perhaps try bootvis. Then from there we can look into it further if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkDog Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I've heard of TweakUI causing problems like that, where Windows will hang for 2-4 minutes on "Windows is starting" Screen. I f you have TweakUI installed, then uninstall it and see if that fixes the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 You could try running bootvis too and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanVM Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Read my profile for contact info.And bootvis has an explicit "optimize" command. You could always check the help file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMikeM Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I've run bootvis and I set it to trace next boot and drivers.How do I analyze the graphics I have here?Do You guys have msn messenger that We could talk? I had the same problem so i did a repair install and it cleaned up some. So I ran bootvis and found mrxsmb was taking up to 3 minutes to load. I removed my networking and NIC and reinstalled them and it went away. do a search on google for "mrxsmb long delay in XP Pro" also unchecking File and Print Sharing helped before the total repair.

toe_cutter Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 This is practicly the same thing, just the otherway around, im having a long wait while trying to shutdown.I press shutdown and windows closes one program in my taskbar (ATi-icon, next to the clock) and then it just sits there for a minute and then continues the shutdown as if nothing had happened.I cant start any program at that point, says windows is shutting down.Is there anyway to log the shutdown procedure, like what processes and services are ended etc?

But like I said to cure it I had to completly remove my NIC and the Networking Components. Reboot then reinstall the network from scratch.This file will also cause the system to hang at shutdown as well.Step by step was Disable File & Print SharingSet TCPIP to DHCPDisable Network ConnectionRemove NIC from Device managerGo to Add remove Windows Components Uncheck Networking Services.Reboot.System will reinstall NICGo back to Add Remove Components Place Check in Networking Services.RebootCheck for delay.Mine was gone at this point.36 second Boot up now.
