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
