What's causing a 35 second pause between post screen and Win XP

   Running stock settings , no OC, 1 PATA drive, and the system is quite stable. Neo 4 Plat MB.
   I don't think this was a problem just after my initial XP SP2 install, but now I get a 35 second delay when the XP screen comes up , before it loads anything.  HD light is solid, then it rocks. booting everthing and running fine.   I tested the timing with BootVis, and indeed there is this 35 second or so gap of doing nothing. No HD access, notjhing loading.
  I disabled everything I'm not using in the BIOS , but that doesn't affect this problem.
  UPDATE:  As I wrote this, I decided to try something else. I disabled IDE 1, where I have an OLD Creative CD-ROM alone as master. Sure enough , thats what caused the delay.  Is there something that can be done to cure the issue, or is it just old hardware not playing nice?  Now getting a full boot in less than 30 seconds.

You can check to see if any programs are running in the background...Task Manager. You can also disable other items in Services....
That may help speed things up!

  • I am using photos . I add a camera and make my photos slide in.  How do I add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out.  I want the photo to hold on the screen for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out.

    I am using photos in Motion 5.  I add a camera and make my photo slide in.  How do i add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out?  I want the photo to hold for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out.  When I am trying to do this  I am not getting the photo to hold, i am making one continuous motion which I do not want.
    Thanks

    Are you using the "motion path" behavior? If so just duplicate it and drag it down the timeline to where you want it to start. Trim it to end at the end of the project. The gap you leave in the timeline between the two behaviors is your hold time. Not sure why you are using a camera unless you have a behavior on the camera.If you are using keyframes just set two keyframes at the same position values in the inspector for the hold time.

  • Iphone 3gs freezing/screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Any ideas what to do please?

    can you help please? Phone having funny fit, screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Then screens merging.. Yuk!

    Hey kathlovesparis,
    First, I would reset the device:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

  • Difference Between Logical Screen and Active/Physical Screen

    Hi All,
    Could someone tell me what is the Diffrence Between Logical Screen and Active/Physical Screen and what is the reason for having two screens instead of one.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Joseph Reddy.

    Hi Marilyn,
    Thanks You. I have found the answer to this.
    All,
    If you go to the SPRO>Logistics Execution>Mobile Data Entry-->Define Screen Management. Here you have two screens one is Logical Screen and another actual Screen and a program associated to this.
    Here the Logical Screens are used within the program and Actual screens are the screens which are visible to the User. The Link between Logical and actual screen is present in the table T3130C. Program recognises logical screens.
    Now suppose say certain functionality/create new transaction code for RF Device is not there in SAP and you want to Include/Create your own code in any of the User-Exits. Then you have to rename the actual screen to 9***. So that the system recognises the change in the screen and related User-Exit is executed.
    Hope this is Clear.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Joseph Reddy.

  • The application maps is not working. When I try to run it opens for a few seconds with a blank screen and then closes

    The application maps is not working. When I try to run it opens for a few seconds with a blank screen and then closes.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Difference between post-capitalization and write-up of an asset

    Dear Experts,
    Kindly explain the difference between post-capitalization and write-up of an asset in SAP.
    Regards
    Komal

    Hi Komal,
    Post Capitalization means correction of the value of an asset, which is either set too low due to not carrying out a capitalization in the past, or which is treated entirely as expense.
    where as Write up is the reversal of past depreciation and write-up is necessary either when the depreciation posted was too high or when the reasons for unplanned depreciation no longer exist.

  • Difference between modal screen and normal screen

    Hi everyone,
      Now,I am developing a dypro. when I create a modal screen ,I found no difference between normal screen and modal screen.
      eg. If I use the statement "call screen" , whatever which type of screen you use, the results look like the same. The same to the statement "call screen start at end at".

    Hi
    Screen type for modal dialog box
    If you activate this attribute, the screen is used as a modal dialog box. In the program, you call the screen with
    CALL SCREEN  STARTING AT  <top left>
                 ENDING   AT  <bottom right>.
    Unlike normal pop-ups, a modal dialog box has its own pushbuttons and title. There is no menu bar and command field entries are not possible.
    Normal screen type
    If you activate this attribute, the screen is flagged as a normal screen. This is the default setting.
    Alternatively, it may have the following special functions:
    Subscreen
    Modal dialog box
    Selection screen
    Class screen
    In the Screen Painter, you can choose between normal, subscreen, and modal dialog box.
    Selection screen and class screen attributes are assigned by the system.

    The hinge between my screen and my computer (macbook pro retina) has cracked and doesn't hold the screen anymore. Can I fix it without changing my screen. And if it's still on guarantee does Apple have to repair it?

    Apple can fix any and all of their computers.  Whether it would be charged to you would be the question.   Do you have AppleCare?

  • AP- Why exchange rate type between Post invoice and Post payment is differe

    AP- Why exchange rate type between Post invoice and Post payment is different ?
    Hello,
    I have question
    when post AP invoice , document type KR
    document date = 11.12.2009
    posting date = 31.12.2009
    entry date = 05.01.2010
    this document using exchange rate type B (standard translation at bank selling rate) on 31.12.2009 (use posting date )
    but when post payment for above document,document type ZP
    document date = 25.06.2010
    posting date = 25.06.2010
    entry date = 24.06.2010
    this document using exchange rate type M (standard translation at average rate) on 23.06.2010
    please answer
    why do post invoice and post payment use different exchange rate type?
    and why at payment donot use posting date for get exchange rate ?

    Nanas,
    Sorry if im not  being clear...
    My point is: the difference rates customization for payments is done at FBZP.
    At Paying Company Codes, you have 4 flags for exchange rates differentes.
    At Control Data look:
    *Do not Post any Exchange Rate Differences:
    If the indicator is not set, the difference between the exchange rate at the time of posting and the exchange rate at the time of payment is determined for items which are posted in foreign currency. The payment program uses the translation rate in the currency table in the system for this purpose.
    *No Exchange Rate Differences for Partial Payments:
    Has the effect that the payment program for partial payments (requests for payment using transaction F-59) does not post exchange rate differences.
    *Processing of Bill of Exchange Payments:
    *Separate Payment for each Payment Reference
    Regards

  • Difference between call screen and setscreen

    Difference between call screen and setscreen..
    can anyne

    Hi,
    The difference is as below:
    Call Screen:
    The system will go to process the called screen, leaving the processing of calling screen on hold. On using LEAVE SCREEN in the called screen, the system will come back and resume the processing of the calling screen.
    Set Screen:
    The processing of the calling screen is terminated and the system starts the processing of called screen. The execution will not come back to the calling screen again..
    Thanks and Best Regards,

  • Flickering between password screen and apple logo?

    my ipad 2 keeps flickering between the password entry screen and the apple logo on a black screen every second, bleeping as it switches between the two screens. This will go on indefinitely and no individual button is receptive, for example you can not alter the beeping volume.
    I have left the ipad until the battery drained, but when placed on charge it starts going through the same process, flickering between the two screens.  I have tried holding the home and power down buttons in as suggested on these forums but although it reboots as such it starts to beep and flicker between the two screens. 
    Has anyone any clues, the beeping is getting a little annoying.

    Yes, it concerns me a little as well. Make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes and you could try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. That may be the issue causing iTunes to think that the iPad is an iPhone.
    Before you try that, try different USB ports on your computer. Don't use a hub. Make sure you connect directly to the computer. You could try rebooting your computer as well.
    Here are instructions to remove iTunes.

    For Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    I know you feel this way too, but I don't want your situation to get any worse with trying too many things. I know you are "dead in the water" anyway with the iPad but still - you don't want to exacerbate the problem.

  • Difference between Posting Date and Posting Day

    In Accounting Document Header table BKPF, there are 2 fields: BUDAT (Posting Date) and PSOBT (Posting Day), both of DATS type. What is the difference between the two?
    Why is that substitutions and Business Transaction Events allow changing of Posting Day (PSOBT) and not BUDAT (Posting Date)?
    In that case, how can I change the Posting Date of a document based on certain rules?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    13 period is a special accounting period, so the situation you described is perfectly normal. The reversal document will be posted in the same period.
    You can read more about special periods here:

  • Clean out stuff between plastic screen and lcd screen

    So I have remnants of ....dirt, pocket lint...whatever, but they are in between the pastic screen and the lcd screen. aparently there's some space for dirt to gather there. Is there any way to clean that area out?

    First of all, no it didn't come like that. I've been using it since Christmas. And secondly it's on the face of the lcd screen and on the back of the plastic viewing area. I didn't know if maybe Apple covers this or it only fixes technical problems. I can just see a few spots when I'm watching video and it's very annoying.
