Xp embedded boot up question

Hi,

I am running my own applicaiton as Shell

I have run into one problem now, which is that after the applicaton has
started, the OS seems to "lock up" for about 20 seconds, but my applicaiton
runs fine...

One of the first things I want to do is to make a function call to check if
the HW security dongle is in place, but this does not seem to be possible
before after the 20 second "delay" while booting up... Why is that ?

Also, trying to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete does not work before after this
"delay" time...

Anyone know about this delay in the system just after my shell starts, and
if this is normal ?
Must i wait a little before checking if Dongle HW is in place ??

Thanks !

Cato

Strange.

I've had a similar problem, and at least one other person has reported it
too: when a DirectX 9 app is started as shell, it takes about 20 seconds
before the display becomes available. Direct3D says there are no display
devices during that time.

But I can't unplug the network cable to see if it helps, there's no network
adapter present.

I had to solve it by retrying to initialize DirectX until it stops failing.

Hello,

This is known problem (it is mentioned many times before) with network interface and DHCP server not present on network.
XPe just wait 20 second per interface that is configured to obtain info from DHCP.
You can switch you network to use static IP instead of DHCP obtained addresses to solve this problem.

Best regards,
Slobodan
