Booting up in WindowsXP takes forever now!

[DevilDog#1]

Are all the updates for hardware devices and software up to date?

[cgarcia275]

I built my PC 2 months ago and made sure I was up to date on all drivers. Unless something else has come up within the past 8 weeks I'm good.

I'd still check it out because I ran and installed both BHD and BHDTS from my XP - SP2 machine without a glitch.

I'll check for current drivers as well. I just assumed that I had them all up to date since it was a new install.

You'll be surprised what can happenin 8 weeks.

Which other software do you've installed on Startup?

[cgarcia275]

Other than the usual mouse, keyboard, printer,...that's about it. Oh, I do have Norton running as well but I think you know that already. My thought on the drivers was that since BHD is a game that's been out longer than 2 months I was pretty safe in knowing it would run. Catch what I mean?

Yeah ... did you run the updates on BHD itself?

[DevilDog#1]

Did you checkout our BHD FAQs ?

[cgarcia275]

I ran the updates on BHD itself. I haven't checked out FAQ's yet other than noticing the issue with Norton.

Heres' the error messages that I'm getting:

These are the 3 errors that I'm getting. Anything ring a bell??

[DevilDog#1]

see Help and Support Center usually means that you need to checkout the site which usually have fixes or updates there.

Which version of DirectX do you have? Can you please do dxdiag in Run and check please.

[cgarcia275]

Okay....just rebooted XP after installing the updates for BHD and it seems to be booting okay now. Didn't get a chance to actually run BHD because time constraints but I'll do that this evening. I'll keep you posted.
