Xp logon delay

I've recently been encountering logon delays in Xp. The machine in question autologons and the problems pretty much came out of the blue. The only thing I've installed recently was a windows update and Office 2000. However, I've disabled the office startup with msconfig. In bootvis it appears to be network related, but I've disabled every service I can think of and even changed from dynamic ip to static. What else could I take a look at? The machine is brand new and had been running perfectly. The delay is only about 5 seconds but is still rather annoying. As a note, the delay accompanies the windows logon screen.
 
The Event Log lists a couple of errors lodding device drivers. It does not list which ones it had problems loading, however it says that I either don't have sufficient credentials or there is a problem with the file or device. Is there any way of telling what driver is causing the problem?
 
Ok, I had forgot to install the drivers for my dvd decoder card so doing that fixed the eventlog errors. However, my logon problem persists. Any more ideas?
 
I figured it out. For future reference to anyone else:

I had accidently set netBIOS over TCP/IP to discover from DHCP server. I changed it to enable and everything works fine now.
 
don't mean to hijack the thread but is there a way to view an event log from teh DOS prompt? or is it strictly GUI?

Thanks
