Slow boot, but only in safe mode

[Guest AndyMHancock@gmail.com]

This is the opposite of what one would expect. That is, if one is

experiencing a slow boot, going to safe mode would be relatively

quicker. I'm experiencing the opposite. I boot up in the normal

amount of time (which is never fast enough, but that's a different

issue). It is only when I boot up in safe mode that I actually fall

asleep waiting for it to boot up. The task manager shows a sparse

list of processes, as one expects of safe mode. What would cause this

counter-intuitive result of slowness, but only when booting in safe

mode?

I don't have an answer, but I have the same problem. Normal boot is less

than 60 seconds; Safe Mode boot is closer to 4 or 5 minutes.

60 secs is fast for win2k

Safe usually takes several mins, this is normal
