using Windows Xp Home Edition for over 2 months now, and progressively the times between the initial logo screen that come up when I start Xp from VMware Fusion and the blue welcome screen have grown to 1, 2, 3, and now 5 minutes of "black" screen before the blue "welcome" comes up. What may be the origin of this and how do I fix it? Thanks.
