Really cant complain, I am retired and have been using this install of win98se for years now,when the P4 1.6 chip came out, about 6 hrs a day, 365 days a year!! Installed hundreds of progs!
Anyway, boot up time is quite long, always seems to take forever at the point either where it is processing or has processed the config sys files. I rem'd some stuff in config sys as i uninstalled the programs that related to them, but i notice that when i am booting there is a reference to diskeeper, which i uninstalled, it does show that it is rem'd.
I am wondering if there is anything i can do to speed up boot time? Also wondering if there is a way to delete the "rem" lines in my config sys, there are 4 of them at the end. Can they be simply deleted and how do i do that?
Does it matter that they are there, in other words, are they affecting the bootup time?
thanks
 
Garebo ! i think u simply don hav to worry about that 85 sec boot time ! its jus the avg value !
