imountsrv = installation runtime file (incorporated into Windows Installer). No offense, but you haven't eliminated other changes to your system as possible culprits. Your logic chain is not flawed, just your perception of what has happened. You might (might) defrag your drive using the windows defragmenter, not the 3rd party utility. In over 30 various installations of Poser 5 (usually for testing different things to see if they work or not, lol), I have never seen an increase in Windows boot time. However Photoshop adds several driver files to the system in support of the color management structures that are in use by it, and they will load at boot until and unless they are specifically shut down -- and removal of Photoshop does not necessarily include removal of these drivers (software drivers, not hardware). Other possible affectors: File system in use additional fonts Service settings on Manual for windows installer Note that in order for a program to affect the start of a system at boot, it must have something that runs at boot time. Poser (any version) does not. So, as simply as possible, it cannot be the cause in and of itself. Also, as a final note: the bitmap that runs and is your timing point is not a timed sequence, and can be affected by a host of hardware factors, as well as software ones.
