Perhaps you over tweaked your PC.  P.S Both my Windows XP Pro PC start in less than a minute without any tweaks.

foufou,

49 processes is a bit high but not excessive.

The fix for the rundll message referring to image.dll is to download and run CWShredder (available here). The telnet client may be listed on your startup tab (go to Start|Run, type msconfig and click OK, look on Startup) and if so you can uncheck it to keep it from loading at startup.

In view of the fact that you receive the image.dll error message I suspect you don't scan for spyware on a routine basis. You should. Download Ad-aware from here and Spybot from here. Check online for updates to their databases then run them and delete all the spyware they identify.

As msgale indicated, three minutes to boot is excessive. In your position I'd consider doing a clean install of Windows XP.

Found your previous post. I was one of responders, and feel partially responsible for your current problems.
I am not sure what exactly you “tweaked� and what information you used ... But since Denny already covered everything, I’ll just be on standby.

P.S. Windows XP is a very stable and resilient operating system, and has many repair options.
