, something like 20 to 30 seconds before its up again.

Really? Wow. I don't have that problem. I can close my browser and reopen it in just a few seconds.

I get more annoyed by how long my win98 machine sits during boot up doing nothing but the WIN98 splash screen. 30 seconds exactly. No hard drive light, no cd or floppy lights, nothing. My life ticking away.

mine waits 30sec's too and for the life of me, i can't remember where it is set, but it's an option for that 30 sec wait... i saw where you set it once and just left it as it was but damned if i can remember where it gets set.

I think Norton AV has something to do with it as well.

But yes, that long or longer.

Doubling the RAM made a huge difference for them. They were very happy with the $40 upgrade.
