    I would also like to see what all copies of xpsp2res.dll you have, so please do the following as well. Highlight and copy the contents of the quote box below to a blank notepad. Save it to the desktop as;

    Filename: check.bat
    Save as type: All Files (*.*)

    Double click check.bat to run it. It will open check.txt when it completes. Please post it's contents.

    What do I do?

    Try replacing the one in the dllcache folder with the one I noted, then rename the one in system32 and reboot.

    I knew that ...... see if it will allow you to rename it. Often times you can rename a file (a system file) that's in use and it will be replaced by Windows File protection with a copy from the dllcache

    I'll be away for a few hours. See what happens when booting while the cd-rom is disconnected and get me that bootlog, if so inclined.

    I am doing as you said but I just want to point back that I could put the v5.1.2600.2653 that I replaced instead of the 5.1.2600.2180.

    Did it and problem still exists. But a new problem has arisen. Some windows, for example Device Manager, has corrupted text.

    When did you notice the corrupted dialogs?

    Check for updates to your video card drivers.


    Run a chkdsk /r with only the operating system drive enabled.

    And I believe the problem will continue to exist until someone can figure why the Bootup porcess is even looking to G: ( which if I understand correctly is a CDROM and makes no difference whether it is connected or not ) TWICE in the first place.

    Then switching back to C:

    VERY time consuming.

    The slow boot delay problem has nothing to do with stuff running AFTER Windows finally goes get loaded. That part appears to be OK. ( so far )

    HUH OH!!!

    Also I believe I saw in a few posts back about Wordpad not starting properly.

    Virus cleanup could have something to do with this too.

    I think you need to stop wating time and do a clean reinstall of Windows. And make sure it goes to C:\Windows.

    If it were not for the fact of so many instances of switching from G: to C: and back I would suggest a Cold boot to a Floppy and an over top reinstall.
    But now I would no longer recomemmnd that.

    My bed is calling me
    Goodnight.

    Did you enable boot logging while drives were disabled? I'd like to see the ntntlog.

    If nothing available re: video drivers, is the corruption still present after re-enabling all drives and rebooting?
