Windows Vista Slow Boot-Drivers not loading

jrpadar · Mar 27, 2009

My Vista computer is very slow to boot, 6 to 8 minutes.

My ntbootlog.txt shows two possible problems:

Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\NDProxy.SYS
Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\NDProxy.SYS

and

Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys
Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\srv.sys

It appears to me that these drivers are attempting to load twice, but I don't know where to go from here.

Suggestions anyone?

The first item NDProxy.sys is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32\driver
check to be sure that's where it is because it could be malware.
The second has to do with file sharing.

NDProxy.SYS is indeed located where it says it is and an individual scan with ZoneAlarm AV says no infection detected.

Mine was taking 20 minutes to load. One day it was 2 minutes (3-15-09) and next day 20 minutes. To make a long story short I took it to Computaters in my town and they wiped it clean and reinstalled vista and now I am back to 2 minutes.
