  I should have expected that.  No reason a modern operating system should
take 3+ minutes to boot.  We have a 2000 file server here and I personally
hate the frigging thing.  Microsoft should take a clue from most other
operating systems in the world and seperate the OS into discrete chunks.
There's the file system, and the windows system, and the kernel drivers,
and the device drivers, and in most sane operating systems these things
are discrete entities to some degree.  Not microsoft!  They make what
operating systems designers call a 'monolithic' kernel look like a creme
drop next to a giant wad of cotton candy.

  Eh.  I signed on to this group looking for some help with DirectSound,
and my problem was solved with advice from the group within 24 hours.
What goes around comes around.  But if I am ever out that way I'll let you
know in advance.
