You can use defragmenting utilities like PerfectDisk which in addition to your system files defrags your boot files as well leading to a faster startup. Otherwise you may try running Bootvis from Microsoft which is easily available as freeware.

How to use BOOTVIS?? I have it but i don't know how to get it to work :idea:

Have u done this.

Go to mscofig from run menu --> Startup --> Disable all
then to services menu. Diasble most (which u dont need)
Do the services disable in small steps of disable and restart so u know exactly where u are having problome if u do have.

Also run a complete AntiViru, AntiSpyware, Regisrty Checup scan and also ScanDisk for all drive with disk defragment.

1]Go to Trace Menu and select "Next Boot and Driver Delays"
2]Botvis will ask for a Restart.
3]Restart and wait for sometime, as Bootvis starts again
4]Then go to Trace Menu and select "Optimize" and
Restart again
5]Now Bootvis will analyze ur system and Optimizes ur system.........

before trying BootVis, it's better that u post ur HijackThis Log file here, some programs in startup take a hell lot of time to load....they can be removed if they r unimportant....
download HijackThis here...
*www.spychecker.com/download/download_hijackthis.html

Open HijackThis and click Scan...afterwards, click Save Log to save the info..then copy and paste the contents of that log file here.....

hmm .. seems like we were looking in the wrong direction
i dont know how correct i am ... but ...
as much as i know .. when those blue strokes are running .. windows starts services one by one.
this means that .. if you disable a few unneccessary services you may get faster startups
go to start->run->services.msc .. and look at started services and disable those u think arent reqd
also ..
can u telll me if you are inside a LAN ..?

disable unnecessary services & try Zoom by Dachshund Software

My other PC is a WinXP running on a PIII 450MHz 128MB PC133 and the system boots up in 15 seconds. After logging in, it takes around 30s for the computer to become fully responsive and i have a LOT of startup programs - 8 of them in the start bar.
