104721 2002-12-10 03:38:00 I have just had a major upgrade to my system. Windows xp runs fine although I had to reactivate it. Would I gain any speed benefits by completely reinstalling the operating system from scratch, or stick with what I have. Windows XP takes about one and a half minutes to get to welcome screen.
Thanks in advance.

I would reccomend sticking with what you have now, as otherwise it will mean reinstalling everything and reconfiguring everything...

1.5 Mins isn't that bad a bootup time

However, if you wish for faster access go start > run and type MSCONFIG
click on the startup tab and remove unnecessary programs

xp on my computer boots in just under a minute, and I'v seen
other xp machines do the same, so 1.5 minutes isnt all that bad really.
in my humble opinion, formating and reinstalling for a 30secs that may not happen,isnt really worth it.

as suggested, you may get a bit back by reducing the amount of
programs in startup.

cheers,

Bob
