Hi,

My Xp pro works fine thanks to this group and many fixes and updates. I'm at
the point I'm beginning to like it.
The only rotten thing is booting Xp. At least 5 times cold booting before
some warm boots can be made and all programs appear in the system part of
the taskbar.

Is there no fix for this problem? It makes me shout at the dran thing like
in the old W95 days.

Try either rewriting the boot record or the MBR(master boot record) or try checking to see if the one you have is ok. To check go>start\run and type in msconfig and then click the boot.ini tab and then the check all boot paths button. If you get an OK here then start disabling programs from starting at bootup. You should only have programs start when you need them. Even your Anti-Virus only needs to start when you go on the internet. Stop all programs from autoupdating. Update manually. some activate before you are even on the i-net and this causes a recycle of it's startup. Make sure you don't have any programs or files on your desktop. You should only have shortcuts there. Full programs and files on the desktop have to be fully loaded at boot and that adds time and conflicts. Good luck.
