hi, came across this site after crashing my computer, and it looks promising... Lately I have been getting a lot of boot up freeze ups... seems to be related to running Trillian and ICQ in the bootup sequence, ICQ wants to start before Trillian is done, and it just freezes, no keyboard controls at all, power off and reboot, runs through scandisk etc. Usually takes 3 times. The last time I finally got up and running I took ICQ out of the startup sequence and that helps.I downloaded and ran the bootanalyzer, and it showed quite a few failures and a ton of font loading failures.. so... I went in to the registry and removed the ENUM key and let windows rebuild the driver data base. After about 5 restarts it finally had reset itself and seems to be running smoothly.
Here is the bootanalyzer file I am getting now:
These are the Failed entries, I've isolated them, they are present in the complete file below the line.
13:49:29 0.00 LoadFailed = ndis2sup.vxd
13:49:31 0.00 DEVICEINITFAILED = MTRR
13:49:39 0.00 INITCOMPLETEFAILED = SDVXD
13:49:43 0.00 Dynamic load failed nuwave.drv : [000DAC1C] File not found
*from reading a bit I understand the nuwave.drv is a bug in the creative driver. No idea what the others are. Below is the complete file for slow and failed items.

After about 4 bootups my system "seems" to be more stable, but am wondering about the failures it's still showing. It's still too soon to tell if this really fixed anything or just gave me something
