this is a weird problem that i have...

when i reboot from Vista into XP, when the Windows XP logo comes up and that blue bar moves from left to right, it starts moving very very slowly after a few seconds.

here's the really strange part, when i turn my modem off then back on it continues to load XP, but if not then the blue bar continues to move very very slowly.

i don't get what is going on here. only thing i can think of is that my modem somehow doesn't release connectivity when i exit out of Vista and boot back into XP. any ideas??

the same thing happens now when i boot from XP into Vista also. any ideas as to what could be causing this?

i have a firewire port that is also listed as a network connection in Network Connections. could this have anything to do with it?
