>>>You have 850 fonts installed. If you can survive without all those fonts, try removing 600-700 of them to see if that makes a difference. <<< WHAT? 850 Fonts? I added a whole bunch of unique fonts for web development and I don't have 850. I have about 150-200. (That's still a lot) Typical install of Win98 should have about 100 fonts. Boot also depends on how many programs loaded on your computer. When I do clean installs on my OS, say Win98 is the only program on my computer the boot time is seconds. With everything loaded its 1 min 30 sec. Also a NIC will slow down boot as well. It doesn't matter how long it takes to boot the computer, just leave it running and clean the dust out of it every few months.
