Slow start! For delays before the icons appear on the
Desktop use the Bootvis.exe tool -the download on the link
page which follows:
http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/platform/performance/fastbo ot/default.asp
Otherwise I would look in Event Viewer at the logged errors.
1. To open Event Viewer, click Start, click Control
Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, double-click
Event Viewer and select System for system errors or
Application for application errors. Look for Error in the
Type column and double click on Error to reveal a
Description of the error. This can be copied by using
Clipboard Viewer (see later).
2. Part of the Description of the error will include a
link, which you should double click for further
information and you can copy using copy and paste.
http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp
(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)
3. For some errors you will find "+ Related Knowledge
Base Article", which if double clicked takes you to the
Knowledge Base Article containing a suggested solution.
There always seems to be a step 2 but not always a step 3.
A tip for posting copies of Error Reports (Step 1). Run
Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to
copy. In the window which appears is a button resembling
two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer.
Now start your message ( email )and do a paste into the
body of the message. This will paste the info from the
Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the
message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting
from Event Viewer. It can be helpful to place a shortcut
to Event Viewer on your Desktop.
