    FREE Boot Log Analyzer utility to help in identifying Windows95/98 boot-up problems.
    Looks at your Windows95 BOOTLOG.TXT file and calculates the time taken to load each driver etc, in order to help in locating any cause of lengthy boot-up times. The displayed result can be sorted by loading duration, filtered to show only those items with long durations or which reported failure, and saved to a text file.
    Please note: This utility is intended for use by PC Support Personnel and Advanced Users only - interpreting the results requires in-depth technical knowledge.

    End of quote =========

    You need to start up your PC in "Bootlog.txt" mode. Press F8 and select option 2 on booting up.

    It lists all your bootup bits and pieces, gives approximate time it takes for each process.
    Separate boxes to show delays and/or errors only. Tick/untick appropriate box or boxes.
    You can save the info but only with 8.3 filenames, not long filenames. It will truncate anything over 8 characters in the file name. You don't need to be an Advanced user to read the output but probably need to be one to do anything about it. Baz
