Slow Windows XP Logon

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

My Uncle has an iMac with Bootcamp. He has Windows XP installed. When you boot into Windows it sticks on the Welcome screen before showing your desktop for about 2 minutes. Once your into Windows is pretty fast and has no problems. The machine is a good spec and the instal only has a few applications on such as Office.

 

I have done the following and it makes no difference

• In MS config removed all the startup items
  
• Defrag the system
  
• Windows Updates
  
• Updates on other application.
  
• Fully update Bootcamp and drivers
  
• Removed AV
  

Does anyone have any ideas please?

 

Thanks

Try making a new user, could be a problem with the users registry or files

 

If that works then just transfer all his files to the new account

Thats a good idea, some times though temp files/ IE temp files are a cause of it. I tend to manually clear it all out and seems to help a lot. There is usually a reason for it though.

 

If that all fails me a new account is usually the best bet it will at least narrow down the PC/OS or just the user
