We could always have you run a hijack scan, but try this go to start-run then type in msconfig, then go to startup and see if you can uncheck anything that is not needed upon bootup. And if you have two sound devices, then you need to just have one running, not both at the same time. ------------------

According to your earlier posts you have two sound devices, an onboard and a card, if you want to use the card you should disable the onboard. It sounds like there is something loading on start-up, look in the start menu items under all users to see what is set to load a start-up. I have used a large number of C-Media cards and never experienced this sort of problem. IP: Logged |

Your sound card is it an actual card, or is it a built in audio device, or do you know? ------------------

Thanks, sorry for the confusion, try this, reboot the computer, and then press the f8 key when the computer is first booting up, press the key until you get to a menu, then go to safe mode, do you still have the same slow down in load time? When you are done reboot as you would normally, there should be some way we can get this to work without uninstalling the sound card drivers. ------------------

When i say "When the boot screen finishes loading. it goes and stays on a black screen for about 1-2mins" what i mean is when the windows boot up screen comes up and loads (the one that says W"indows Xp Professional" and has the bar at the bottom of it.)Once that finishes loading it boots too a black screen and seems like it has frozen.And The install driver part, When i install the Audio drivers to work the soundcard. When its installed and extracted my boot screen takes about 2 mins to boot up cause it says on the black screen, When the Audio drivers that are not installed it only takes seconds to load. Is there a way to fix it without unintalling the Soundcard drivers? P.S: There is no Errors or popups that are saying Error cannot find.. etc. after the desktop loads fully. IP: Logged |

Okay I am misunderstanding you, when you say this “When the boot screen finishes loading. it goes and stays on a black screen for about 1-2mins.(This is when My C-media Drivers are installed.” What do you men by when my drivers are installed? Do get any error messages? ------------------

When you say installed, do you mean the OS is initializing the device, or is actually installing the device? Does it install the device each time windows boots up? ------------------

Hello I have a problem with the xp pro start boot, When the boot screen finishes loading. it goes and stays on a black screen for about 1-2mins.(This is when My C-media Drivers are installed. which is C-Media CMI8738/C3DX Audio Device PCI Intel 82801EB ICH5 - AC'97 Audio Controller PCI.)When it uninstalled it it cuts the loading time by alot (5sec boot up after windows finishes loading. Is there a way to cut the time without taking away my sound? Thanks IP: Logged |
