Then go to http://www.vision4.dial.pipex.com/ and download the free
Bootlog Analyzer program.

Shut down and restart your computer and do a logged startup.

To do this press the Ctrl just as soon as the first information of any
kind shows on the screen during the restart. Hold it down until the
Windows Startup Menu appears and select the "Logged - Bootlog.txt"
option from the menu.

When the computer has finished booting up run the Bootlog Analyzer to
look at the the log file that was just created. Select the "Show
delays" option to show only those log items that took an excessive
amount of time.

That will show you what is slowing down the startup.

Post the results back here if you need additional advice or
assistance.

Good luck

Go to the web site that I mentioned in my previous message - here it
is again http://www.vision4.dial.pipex.com/ - and download the
program. The download is named BLA.ZIP and when you extract the
contents from it you will have BLA.EXE.

Then you just double-click on the file name BLA.EXE in Windows
Explorer and you are there.

Good luck
