I have Xp Pro installed on a 1.5 ghz P4 with 256 ram I have upgraded from 98se to win2k to xp. but, i have just recently noticed the slowing of the boot i thin that it has something to do with the amount of un needed crap that starts with it but, i also have osme driver issues that i need to deal with. I thank all of you for your help in advance.
