yep sir! know this and thats why i gotta shut down to boot into my normal xp. so what is the average boot up time you ppl got? i've tried disabling unused servicer and the startup list is empty. me and him both using p4 northwood. dep is software only. no hardware support!

i'll also try installing an antivirus and see what happens to the performance. the sore point here is my gfx card. for 3d it gets a 1.0 rating while for aero it gets 1.9. i guess 2.0 is the threshold, but it jus misses out. my fren's situation will be something similar.
