Guest mosesyellowhorse Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 IE7 SP2 Not a huge problem but irritating. My PC takes a long time to boot, perhaps up to 2 minutes but it eventually gets there. Then, to bring up IE7, it takes another similar period of time. Once booted and into the 'net all is OK, I can switch between them without a delay but if my PC goes into standby it awakens OK but both the wakeup and IE7 again takes this long period of time to arise. This has become this way within the last two or three weeks and I have deleted and reinstalled IE7, SP2, my cable modem and the Cox broadband application, went through msconfig to the best of my limited ability without success. Can anyone give me more pointers and/or suggestions to speed this process up?

Guest Gerry Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Re: Slow boot/IE7 What Error / Warning reports ( if any ) appear in the System log in Event Viewer when you last booted the machine? Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear in a previous boot. You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important. HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further information. http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp (Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only) A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer. -- Hope this helps.
