| 777584 | 2009-05-28 08:24:00 | I will take care of that now. Will this improve the booting? |

| 777585 | 2009-05-28 08:27:00 | It may do, has it been defragged as well? Look in device manager under IDE / Ata /atapi controllers, under primary and secondary (under advanced settings). Its not in PIO mode is it? WHAT else is connected to the hdd (if its IDE)? |

| 777587 | 2009-05-28 22:50:00 | I found the culprit of the delayed boot - corrupted ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall. Once I uninstalled it, the boot process was normal. | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 777588 | 2009-05-29 00:23:00 | Avast messes up Zonealarm. I got Sygate instead. | mark c (247) | ||
| 777589 | 2009-05-29 05:04:00 | Zonealarm is horrible. It works OK but does strange things to your PC. If you want a good firewall, get Comodo |
