Well my win 98 and Win2K machines logged into the network in under 2 minutes, from hitting the power to being able to access network. This XP machine is Super fast loading but takes like 5-10 mins to Login! Should this be? Is there anything a Normal Login (non Admin) can do to speed it up? |

I know that may not be the answer you are looking for, but...
XP does take quite a bit to load up initially. You may see that it will actually speed up to a certain extent after you restart the computer a few times. XP has many more programs that are being loaded up compared to older versions. There are a few things you can do to help out a little. Of Course, system specs would help out here, including the amount of RAM. I have experienced first hand that XP is considerably better with at least 512 MG. Minimum is 256 and it can run with this, but more is definately better. -------------------- We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn.
Please post back when a suggestion works, so that others may learn. |
