| 12235 | 2001-05-06 05:12:00 | Hi, After installing Windows 2000, I noticed the startup appears ?hang? for a minute or so before continuing. At the graphical screen (with the Windows 2000 bitmap), the progress bar next to ?Starting Up?? would stop mid way for a minute or so. W2K is installed on a PIII 733 with 128MB RAM with no network cards, on a 10GB partition (on a 20 GB hard disk). Is there a way of getting a diagnostic on why the startup is so slow ? Thanks in advance. Andrew |

| 12237 | 2001-05-12 03:46:00 | Yeah more ram would help... But what you are discribing is the driver activation pause that you tend to get on a system that is running some bits of hardware aren't full compatable with Win2k or drivers that aren't very hot in Win2k standards. One thing you could try is go and find all the newest drivers for your hardware, then see if that stops it at all. Failing that, then look at getting some more RAM... after all it is cheap at the moment... and 256MB + never hurt anyone. |
