Long delay during POST

This machine has a consistent 40 second delay during POST before windows
starts to load. This is not normal as I usually see less than 10 seconds
delay in other computers.

Included for info:
autoexec.bat
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D3 T4
LH C:\WINDOWS\AU30DOS.COM
Set tvdumpflags=8

config.sys
numlock = off

What are usual causes of a long delay here, and a fix?

Unimportant, the computer is nowhere near there yet.

What might have helped is info about the computer itself.

Quien sabe, I'm not a hardware type. However, since POST is an
acronym for power on self test, I'd guess it is having a problem
determining if hardware and/or RAM are functioning properly or even
detecting same.

Fix? Gotta determine the cause - as opposed to symptom - of the
problem first. IOW, take out all hardware possible - including extra
RAM sticks and drives, etc. - and see if it improves. That's what I'd
do at least, YMMV and probably does.

Re: Long delay during POST

Just because 40 seconds is not normal for "other computers" does not make it
not normal for the machine in front of you. Put in another drive, install
Windows, test.

Then again, those sound drivers may be taking a few seconds to load things
up. Try disabling Autoexec.bat and Config.sys using MSCONFIG. Any change?

Thanks, Gary.

As usual, you have the answer. That cut the delay back to 15 seconds,
fine with me.

I will enable config.sys again, as I need numlock = off.

Regarding autoexec.bat, I know W98SE does not need it, if I just put in a
empty autoexec.bat, the question:
I notice with it disabled, I still have the sound icon in the System
Tray, I still have everything normal in Multimedia in Control Panel.

What purpose is served when the sound drivers are loaded in autoexec.bat?

I'm glad that fixed it for him but why?? POST is before Windows even
starts to load and it is Windows that loads drivers, checks config.sys
and executes autoexe.bat, no?

Odd (to me). Isn't numlock on or off a bios setting?

I didn't look for it in this BIOS, but the config fix is what I always
use. Is there a real use for NUM Lock these days?

If you never boot to DOS to run a game that might want to use
AU30DOS.COM, put an "REM" in front of that line. It's highly doubtful
Windows would ever use it.

IO.sys processes MSDOS.sys (or Winboot.ini), Config.sys & Autoexec.bat
before it loads Windows...

My guess is that the delay is after POST, during startup of Windows, and that "ms"
mistakenly referred to the delay as being during POST.

I have always set NUMLOCK to ON in the BIOS setup, on desktop computers. If you
don't turn NUMLOCK on, how do you utilise your numeric keypad on the right side of
the keyboard?

On laptops, I leave it off unless I have a specific use for it during a session,
then I turn it on manually, for obvious reasons.

As PCR mentioned, those audio entries in autoexec.bat are for sound in a DOS session
(not a DOS box in Windows) such as when playing a DOS game. They would be better
put into a dosstart.bat file if you really needed them for that.

The "Set tvdumpflags" entry is used by Zone Alarm....google tvdumpflags and then
decide if you want to re-enable that entry in autoexec.bat.

To allow "sound" when running "DOS programs".


As far as the lines;

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D3 T4
Set tvdumpflags=8

those may be used in Windows also. Either way there is no significant
time delay in those two SET commands.

I would do as PCR suggests and just disable the LH C:\WINDOWS\AU30DOS.COM
command.

Check it out. Most, if not all, BIOS from the last decade or so can control numlock.

> Is there a real use for NUM Lock these days?

Why do say that? I keep mine always on.

Thanks to all, that cleared it up, will REM those lines.

I only use the right number key pad for HOME and Page UP/DOWN, find it is
much handier to have NUMLOCK off all the time. In that, everyone is
different.
