WinXp SP2 slow boot, driver problem?

Hello,
I have problem with slow boot after install WinXp SP2.
Before install SP2 boot was normal. On Windows logo part of boot I see
4/5 time blue line past.
After install SP2 this blue line go 20 times!
I put all my servicies according to BlackViper Safe version.
On start up I have just Kaspersky Antivirus 5.0. Nothing more looking
in registry run folder.

Bootvis indicated me this time:
Disk: 0,85s
Driver: 38,86s
Prefetching: 47,47s
Registry+Pagefile: 5,90s
Video: 3,38s
Logon+servicies: 8,91s
Shell: 7,53s
Total: 63,75

Only warning write is: Disk write caching disabled
All time seems to be normal but Driver and Prefetching is too long!
Deleting Windows Prefech folder, total boot file first time reduce and
be around 45 second. But on second boot is again around 65s.

KAV with today virus definition not find virus.
Ad-Aware and Spybot SD with last definition not find problem.
BootVis time is made also after disk defragment.
What is my problem?

Hello kigor,

I'm assuming that you have the latest drivers, if not, might be a good idea to update.

A suggestion:

Have a look at this MS article on DEP http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/sp2mempr.mspx

DEP might be causing a problem w/ your drivers. You could try toggling DEP and see if it improves performance.

Hello,

Have had exactly same problem since installing SP2 - very long boot time.

PeteC's suggestion has indirectly solved the problem: I discovered that the primary and secondary ribbon cables had been inadvertently reversed. Changing them back to their correct configuration has stopped the hanging time during boot.

Hope that this info proves useful.

Good luck! - JSudek
