Windows XP Pro SP2 integrated errors!

[Scifiuser]

Windows XP Professional SP2 (integrated) starts some programs with 1min 55 sec delay, why?

This all was tested after installed integrated SP2 Win XP Pro to a clean PC. And after installing all the latest updates from Windows Update.

I have never had any similar problems. I'm confused.

Have you run chkdsk & defrag after the install? Are you certain that the CD you burned is virus free?

Have you tried using Disk Cleanup, reducing System Restore points to the last one only, cleaning up with CCleaner & EmpTemp?

Hvae you tried using the evaluation copy of Diskeeper 9 Professional (not Home) to defrag the paging file and MFT?

I have used chkdsk and defrag and no errors found.

The CD is virus free. The installation succeeded on other PC with no such errors. I use the latest AntiVir + def files.

There was also other problems when installing. After the install was ready it just come straight to windows with Administrator user. There was not the screens where you could make new users... I think that was very scary. I really think that SP2 has some bugs that caused this. I also find out that all the interface colors was green and I needed to change them all to "default" blue. It was weird to me.

I will try to make a new installation on a clean PC later to figure out if the error happened in the installation.

Am I the only one with this case. Are there any other with similar cases when using integrated SP2? I installed the Windows XP to Fujitsu Siemens computer, that also might to have something to do with it. It has integrated chips: sound, ethernet and graphic card. In the installation it didn't regonize any of them.

How have you formatted the computer? Is it formatted to FAT32 or NTFS?

What size are the drive(s)/partitions, and how many bytes per allocation unit are there?

If you have less than 4096, and it sometimes happens that you can get only 512, you will have a very slow response time.

You can check this by running: chkdsk , in a DOS window.

After which you should try Diskeeper 9 and see if it helps at all.
