Very slow boot after XP SP3 upgrade?

[Stu]

I keep getting really slow boot times after installing the XP SP3 upgrade. I've done quite a few installs recently and this is one problem that keeps cropping up.

I have noticed a pattern in that the affected machines are all connected wirelessly.

Anybody else have this problem?

I know that many wireless device drivers update a windows driver that handles the wireless device. When you install the SP, it re updated the driver to the windows version. I recommend that you reinstall the wireless drivers after installing SP3. I have noticed this mainly with net gear wireless devices, but have seen a few linksys wireless cards to the same thing.
