Hey, I got two quick questions...

I want to speedup my Windows XP SP2 boot-up time. It takes quite a while, how long, I'm not sure, but i've tried the following things listed below... They have cut a bit off the time but there must be something I'm not doing if I am reading about people being at their desktop in 15-30 or 45seconds.

- Bootvis optimization
- XP services management - disabled unneeded xp services
- XP Startup programs - disabled unneeded programs from auto start
- Start menu Startup folder - EMPTY
- Put HD as FIRST boot device in BIOS.
- Moved page file to the 2nd HD
- /NOGUI boot option

In my startup I've got NAV2006, Nvidia Soundstorm cp and Nvidia settings manager (Even tho i though i disabled it from startup.. have to do it AGAIN). For the system listed in my signature, i'd expect much faster boot than what I have now. What else can I do?

Also, as far as my USB Problem. XP thinks I have USB1.1, but this board is 2.0. I was told to uninstall all hardware in the Device managed that mentions USB, and restart. Well I done that and it still detects my USB as 1.1 and installs the Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller...
What can I do about this?

Thanks for your time!
