I have been running Boot Log Analyzer to see why my boot up process is taking so long. I got a real nice long listing of what was happening during the boot process. however, I have no idea what this cryptic message means! And I hope someone can offer some advise about what the message means and what if anything to do about it. This is the message (I left out the rest of the message thinking it was not an issue): FAILED: 20:49:44 0.00 LoadFailed = ndis2sup.vxd 20:50:28 0.00 INITCOMPLETEFAILED = SDVXD 20:50:31 0.00 Dynamic load failed nuwave.drv : [00149B34] File not found DELAYED: 20:49:20 0.39 Loading Device = C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 20:49:20 0.61 LoadSuccess = C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 20:49:21 1.11 LoadSuccess = C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS 20:49:22 19.00 C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVG6\BOOTUP.EXE[00149659] starting 20:49:41 0.44 starting 20:49:41 2.39 C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\SYSTOOLS\DOSMODE.COM[001497B9] starting 20:49:52 2.94 DEVICEINIT = VKD 20:49:55 0.28 DEVICEINIT = NDIS 20:49:55 3.50 Dynamic load device vtdi.386 20:49:59 24.22 Dynamic load success vnbt.386 20:50:24 0.72 Initing esdi_506.pdr 20:50:25 0.56 Initing esdi_506.pdr 20:50:25 1.39 Initing drvwq117.vxd 20:50:27 0.33 Init Success drvwq117.vxd 20:50:29 0.39 Initing drvwppqt.vxd 20:50:30 0.61 INITCOMPLETE = AVGCORE All I could suspect is that anti virus program AVG and the "Dynamic load success vnbt.386" (Whatever that is?) are the two items taking the majority of the time to load and the three items that are listed as failed are most likely the problem. Can anyone tell me if these two items are working as they should, or do they matter, or is there truly something I can do to speed the boot up process? Thanks for any help. I hope this isn't one of those items that even Gates doesn't know why it is happening that way or what to do about it!!
