Ok, this is the problem. As soon as windows loads, it takes some time to start up some processes. my ADSL for one. Even My computer doesn't load up instantly, or mspaint!
games, ms word etc on the other hand run fine. But these processes take about 30 seconds to a minute to load up. It's just something veery very annoying.

I'm running Windows XP Pro, SP2.

From what I can make out, alg.exe is one of the processes that starts up later on, but i'm not sure if that's the one at fault for thigns like my computer and mspaint.

Anyone?
 
Word of warning. BootVis has killed windows XP on my system, cant boot at all even in safe mode, currently using knoppix to get rid of it.

Use at you own risk

I haven't d/l Bootvis yet, but from what I can make out it improves overall system boot times. My system, mostly it's fine, just these few things that are suddenly taking time. Everything was fine earlier, this has just popped up recently, POSSIBLY after a beta BIOS update, but i'm not sure about that.

System spec is -

Corsair 2gb 6400C4
x6800 (stock)
2 x EVGA 7950GX2
XP Pro SP2 (all updates installed)
Tagan 900W PSU

Used it on multiple machines, dozens of times without a single problem.

I'd download PerfectDisk, do an offline boot on your bootup drive, uninstall old software, delete temp files, run a regcleaner, defrag the drive, then run bootvis.

If the above method doesn't speed up the machine, nothing will. :p

Fixed it after messing with Knoppix for a while. Not sure if i want to re-install it again :)

Will check out perfect disk though.

old software etc etc shouldn't raelly be an issue though. build is hardly a week or two old! not enough time to collect useless junk.

bootvis has never helped decrease my boot times and I've tried it on many systems..

Depends how many things they at startup, how old the install is, and how fragmented the files are on the drive.
