I have a compaq presario model 6433us, using windows xp. When I startup the computer, it gets to the 'WELCOME' screen, and then just sits there for about 1 - 2 minutes, doing nothing!! Then all of a sudden it will continue on, and the system will come up?? The system used to just come right on up until recently, now it starts to come up, stops at the 'WELCOME' screen, and just sits doing nothing until it finally decides to finish coming up?? Does any one know what to do to fix this!! Thank for any help.

"Bootvis - Decrease Boot Time

Bootvis is a Boot performance trace visualization tool for
use with Windows XP systems. It gives a graphical view of
what processes are doing what and when during boot and
allow you to optimize your boot up. A very handy tool.

Download Bootvis:
http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/platform/performance/fastboo
t/BootVis.asp

This is a self extracting ZIP file. Double click the file
you just downloaded and unzip it to the folder of your
choice. Locate Bootvis.exe click on it. You will now see
the GUI of bootvis.

Now go to File/New and choose "Next boot trace" or "Next
boot and drivers chase". Leave everything else as is and
get ready for a reboot in 15 seconds. Then click on the
Bootvis.exe, it will now output the results, once it has
finished generating the report, you will see graphs 5 or 6
graphs. From the main menu .. Click on Trace >> optimize
system, then reboot.

You will see a message box "Please wait for bootvis to
load" ... about 20 seconds later another message box will
appear "Optimizing system for boot performance" basically
bootvis is rearranging the boot files for a faster
startup. (T. Shuel)"

Update all your device drivers to current XP versions,
and really vital is the video card driver. Also be sure
to have at least 256 MB of RAM but 512 MB is better.
