537779 2007-04-02 11:52:00 I have just installed Windows XP home service pack 2,on my laptop from scratch but seems to boot slowly, I remember there was a patch for SP1 to speed up boot times, i downloaded bootvis but doesnt seem to do much difference ewendudson (12081)
537780 2007-04-02 21:36:00 A patch for SP1 wont do anything since SP2 is installed.

So,was SP2 slipstreamed on the cd when u installed it??

Did u do a clean install?

Or did u install SP2 after XP was installed?

How much ram is installed, and if u installed SP2 after u installed XP, did u do a scan for spyware etc before SP2 was installed?

And have u defragged it recently?

Delete whatever, if it isnt needed. A bit more ram would help too.
