I am running a Dell XPS200 with WIN95 and Norton Desktop. During start-up, the computer shows the normal sequence of checking memory and drives, etc, then the windows screen. Then it goes back to the dos-type screen and does nothing for just over 1 minute. No hard drive activity or anything else that I can detect. After that, it goes to the windows screen and continues to load. Anyone have any idea why the computer would do nothing for this period of time? It takes close to 5 minutes for my 200mHz Pentium to go from pushing the "on" button to actually being able to do something. Thanks, Kevin Weaver [log in to unmask]
