    Recently reinstalled XP Pro on my laptop while booting up is fast enough once it come to log-in and after that its terribly slow. I think it takes as long to boot up as it does to loggin and have windows usable.
    I've used tunexp and bootvis but neither really made a difference. I'm not using the welcome screen for logging in either.

    Are there any ways in which i can speed up the log-in and windows becoming usable?

    try in safe mode to rule out startup stuff.

    at the dosprompt try DEFRAG C: /B or maybe it's -B an undocumented tweak to defrag boot files.

    pagedfrg may help if you don't have much RAM

    you have done full virus / malware scans ?

    when you reinstalled did you install over the top and thus inherit lots of settings or remove/rename the windows and program files folders to get a cleaner install ?

    I'll try safe mode after this.

    It's a full fresh install from a formated drive. My virus scanner or Adware & spybot didnt detect anything.
