Solved: Black Screen Before Welcome screen appears

Hi

Recently XP Pro has been taking ages to boot up. The system post screens come up and the windows loading bar shows no problem but then before the windows welcome screen appears followed by the desktop i get a black screen for approx 30 - 60 seconds.

Once the desktop has finally loaded the pc works absolutely as normal

I have not installed any new hardware or software recently.

I cannot hear any drive activity during the black screen

Would appreciate any ideas

My wifes computer does this since I installed a driver other than the one microsoft provided for a video card. So in testing I uninstall the driver and put m$ in and there is no long blank pause, upon reinstalling the mfg driver it has the stall again. Everything works fine either way except for the pause.. So maybe check drivers?
