hello Jim McLaughlin
to boots your Win Xp on the netbook, you should deactivate
windows-services which run all the time but are not necessary for your
work. its also recommended to remove "uninportend" things from windows
autostart.
search for cmd.exe on your system and run command "msconfig" to see
which programs run in autostart.

Alan, thank you for the tip.
You're welcome :-)
In OO 4.1.1, when I access Tools>Options>Memory and look at the
QuickStarter dialog in the right hand panel, it provides a box to check
or
not check which has a legend next to it regarding loading OO at system
start up.
Not clear if the box is checked or not. If not I recommend checking it.
*It was not checked until I read your first post on this issue. I went in,
looked at the selection, and checked the box. Sorry that I did not make
clear that I had made the change and checked the box. *
Given the slow system start up I have any way, I'm not so sure this is
really a "Quick Start" for me.
The "Quick Start" is a boost to AOO, not Windows. In fact it *will* slow
the login to the Windows desktop as Windows does the extra work at login of
loading AOO components.
That extra work is basically what you experience loading AOO the first time
you start it after login. If Windows does this ahead of time for you then,
the first time you start an AOO program, it should start as quickly as your
2nd launch does now.
OK, I understand that now.
One caveat, my practice for a while now is to wait for the disk activity
light to stop flashing after I login. If I try to start programs while the
light is still flashing it always seems frustratingly slow and, at times,
the program might not even launch.
*Yes, I learned that long ago. The little green LED for disk activity is
a very helpful tool.*
So, my recommendation...
- make sure the Quick Start box is checked
- after login to the desktop wait until the disk activity light stops
flashing before trying to start any programs
