I am helping my friend clean/remove viruses from his laptop. One issue he has is a few weeks ago his laptop started to hang on that Black xp splash screen with the loadbar. After about 5 minutes the screen advances and takes you to the logon screen as normal without any further boot problems. I booted with safe mode and it loads a bunch of drivers i guess, and it last displays mup.sys before it lags for ~5min and then just moves on. I enabled boot logging and got Service Pack 3 1 29 2011 18:42:36.375Loaded driver \WINDOWS\system32\ntkrnlpa.exeLoaded driver \WINDOWS\system32\hal.dllLoaded driver \WINDOWS\system32\KDCOM.DLLLoaded
