Same here...I found disabling a shedload of services has increased my boot time by quite a few seconds - haven't figured out why yet.

Thenasty: what stuff have you done to speed up your boot?  I tried some stuff out on a freshly installed XP machine the other day and could still only manage 30 secs or so.

I guess I left out the important thing. I run my cab purely in DOS.

i was gonna do the dos only thing, but i cant find dos drivers for my machine.

RayB:
Until recently I had decent boot time. Now, I get a BEEP on the "Welcome" screen and it sits there for eternity before moving on. How do I find out what it's doing on that Welcome screen and beeping for?

PS: It's XP pro

Event Viewer might help.  Right click on My Computer (Win2k and XP) and go to manage
