re: Agonizingly slow boot Sunday, May 19, 2002 at 1:07 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by gert ooghe (1 messages posted) Check your diskspace. You must have at least 300 Mb free space on the drive to run Xp without problems... Check also your virtual memory settings.. you can find them control panel>system>advanced>performance Set them in a way that windows chooses the size itself... If this doesn't work, turn of windows choosing the size, set it to 400 Mb, reboot pc, set it back to windows choosing the size and reboot ... Hope this does the trick...
