    hi all,

    on my laptop running winxp sp2 it hangs at startup screen (im attaching a shot of the exact screen) for up to 3 mins EVERY time i boot up

    it was fine last week, so i system restored, and that worked, but after a day it was back being crap again..

    any ideas? i have scanned for spyware, and disabled all in startup of msconfig.
    is there a specific service that searches for a lan connection on launch or something similar that i can disable for quicker startup

    system spec is

    Mobile Pentium III 1.2 Ghz with 760MB ram
    cheers

    Have a look in the Event viewer and see if any particular service is timing out that could be causing the problem.

    you might be onto something there...

    service control manager is giving error 7034 and looking back over the reports it seems to be at every boot up...

    im searching for info on it now.. and hopefully a fix.. i will report back
