Hello whoever; I was able to cut this 'dead time' in half by putting the COM ports and the PARALLEL port in a disable condition in the BIOS. This only works if you don't need these ports in the system; it also frees up some IRQ values for the rest of the system. RON MAYNE

I'm using a slot 1 motherboard with a PIII-450 processor and 250MB of RAM. No matter what type of video card I use in the mother board; the thing always ends up in a a 640x480 16 color condition after a few days of use. YEP; PCI, AGP, ISA; it doesn't seem to matter what type of card I try to...

Hello grygst76; Hello cdogg; grygst76, I called the Verizon techie guys and verified I was downloading the latest WinPoET exe file (3.48 megs)a few hours ago. It still creates version 2.0; the same as the one I uninstalled a bit earlier this evening. And, the 100 seconds from the C:\> after...

Hi Van and others; Van, it won't update the driver because it insists that it is using the only proper one in the group. The driver it is using did come from the CD that came with the SMC 1211 card. - -in spite of assorted changes; we're still at 100 seconds and counting. Thanks for...

Hello conceptumator and others; thread615-188353 Well, I changed that entry to Quick log-on and made sure there was no Domain entry; no change in the 100 second pause. I do have the Primary Network logon: set to 'Windows Logon'. Ron Mayne

Hello Van and others; Van, after your concern about NIC cards (all 5 computers have an NIC between themselves and the HUB), I removed the network card from the more immediate computer. The 100 seconds 'pause time' is reduced to 20 seconds when I remove the network card. This still...

Hello Van and others; Van, after your concern about NIC cards (all 5 computers have an NIC between themselves and the HUB), I removed the network card from the more immediate computer. The 100 seconds apparent pause time is reduced to 20 seconds when I remove the network card. This...

Hello cdogg and others: Well, here's the story. The 100 seconds apparent pause time is reduced to 20 seconds when I remove the network card. This still allows one system to run fairly well (and slower)from a 56k modem. However, this would only allow one computer to be on-line at any time...

Hi cdogg and others; Update; this is a home made collection of 5 computers (for my at home family members); all looking at a HUB that looks at the DSL. All the computers are set to "Windows logon". During startup the screen goes from: - -ESCD- - - -DMI- - Starting Windows 98- -...

TO; MISAdmin and others; When I 'rem' out rhe Norton startup function there is no difference in startup time. Next, I'll disconnect this computer from the HUB, and, if necessary remove the NETWORK card to see if anything changes. The entire system (HUB and all related computers) does work very...

I'm running a typical slot 1 PII-350 with 360 megs of RAM. I posted a 'WIN98 startup delay' a few weeks ago to determine why my startup sits for 90-120 seconds after Norton gets done doing 'startup anti-virus check'. ________________ autoexec.bat has only the Norton Anti-virus line in it...

Ref: Windows 98SE startup time Posted Jan 7, 2002 Windows 98SE startup time thread615-188353 To the people who replied; here is some vague info that relates: autoexec.bat only has the Norton info to have Norton anti-virus run during startup config.sys exists but is empty NIC I built a...

Computer is turned on and it gets to the point where Norton finishes checking for viruses and the C:\> shows up. THEN, the system sits doing nothing for 90-120 seconds. At that point Windows 98 starts and runs well. Question; why the 90-120 second 'nothing' time?? Thanks, Ron Mayne - -midway...

This motherboard (perhaps mine only) will not accept more RAM than 64MB; and this must be in DIMM form (has 3 DIMM slots). I've got a 233MMX CPU in the board. If I put 128MB of RAM in the board; Norton Systemworks benchmarks the system down to a 166MMX equivelant. IWILL folks will not discuss...
