Could be the virus detector (I'd say that's the most likely), could be network shares that aren't available or something in the network settings that isn't available (even with local folders) however you could also try this go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management and set IoPageLockLimit to decimal 4096 See if that makes any difference. Made my machine boot about 2X faster. Geo. "Frank Haber" wrote in message news:3ac77e91$1@w3.nls.net... > 256k RAM.
